You're going to have to learn Javascript. JLV gave an example on the previous page.

How can i change my avatar from Kermit lmao

These lines control the avatars. The catch all at the end is Kermit. Each line matches a name to the row and column the avatar is in. The names are regular expressions, which are a complicated subject but if you just use /\bFIRSTNAME.*\bLASTNAME\b/i it should do what you want.

Code: Select all

        { page: 1, row: 0, col: 1, re: /\bmiss.*\bpiggy\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 1, col: 0, re: /\bgonzo\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 1, col: 1, re: /\bfozzy.*\bbear\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 2, col: 0, re: /\browlf\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 2, col: 1, re: /\bscooter\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 3, col: 0, re: /\bpepe.*\bprawn\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 3, col: 1, re: /\brizzo.*\brat\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 4, col: 0, re: /\bbunsen.*\bhoneydew\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 4, col: 1, re: /\bbeaker\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 5, col: 0, re: /\bwaldorf\b/i },
        { page: 1, row: 5, col: 1, re: /\bstatler\b/i },

        /* catch all - this should be last */
        { page: 1, row: 0, col: 0, re: /.*/ },

Is there a full list of available functions anywhere?

Sorry, not yet. Will definitely be writing some documentation soon though.

jlv, could you give me a quick explanation on how mx.paste_custom_frame works or even just what the arguments for it are? I tried figuring it out from the jstest example but couldn't understand it.

jlv, could you give me a quick explanation on how mx.paste_custom_frame works or even just what the arguments for it are? I tried figuring it out from the jstest example but couldn't understand it.

The parameters are like this:

mx.paste_custom_frame(texture_id, frame_number, src_x, src_y, dst_x, dst_y, width, height)

It copies width x height pixels from the specified frame in the sequence file to the texture. "texture_id" is the texture id you got from "mx.read_texture()". "frame_number" is the frame number starting from 0. "src_x" and "src_y" are the location in the source frame and "dst_x" and "dst_y" are the location in the texture. The coordinates are in width and height units. So "0" is the left edge and "1" is the right edge.

So as an example, if you wanted to copy the bottom right corner of frame 5 to the center of the texture, you'd do this:

frame=5;
sx=0.5;
sy=0.5;
dx=0.25;
dy=0.25;
w=0.5;
h=0.5;
mx.paste_custom_frame(mytid, frame, sx, sy, dx, dy, w, h);

"begin_custom_frame" initializes the texture to black or transparent depending on whether the texture has an alpha channel.

Sorry I don't have any documentation yet!

Right, I didn't understand the second number before, but that now explains why this only works for seq files.

jlv I also meant to ask you, did you end up going with duktape for the js interpreter?

Yes, it's duktape.

Anyone created a track yet with sounds thats ready to DL? Id love to hear the sounds in the game but not too experienced in Java

[TeamHavocRacing]

...not too experienced in Java

I recommend Udemy honestly. $12 for a course, usually better than a college professor.

Anybody got a good Javascript course/tutorial on YouTube or Skillshare?

Eloquent javascript

Mozilla's reference pages are excellent.

The rF Indianapolis track has some sounds on it this week.
