Re: Redoing the player in Flash
I got the player updated a little while ago. Now it shows the feature I mentioned.

Loads forever. I had it load for 30 minutes and it still said "Loading".henke37 wrote:I got the player updated a little while ago. Now it shows the feature I mentioned.
I'll make a hard guess here and suppose that this is not the mentioned feature?
Edit: Nevermind, reloaded a few times and it worked. I just don't see the point in including videos from YouTube? What if the video gets deleted?
Edit 2: What about other languages? Does the game read the texts and graphics (like Press or Present) from a folder or are they hardcoded? Also, I don't think the buttons should have an hover effect, i would make them light up when they're pressed only.
With Flash, we also have the potential of animations. How about some animations when switching from the CE-Interface to the proceed-button? Of course, I don't know if you already have this planned.
Also, I think that the current use of presenting evidence using the court record is a bit... strange. I think you should first press the Present-button and then choose the evidence you would like to present, not the other way around.
Otherwise, good work so far.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
The buttons will be replaceable. If someone can find me replacements, I can simply make them loaded on demand. I am already doing this for the advance button.
As for the animation idea, I am stumped on what to do there. A shape tween would be ugly and I cant think of anything else.
You do have a point about the selection system being strange. I am not exactly sure how to do it.
As for the buttons lightning up on just hover, that is a style decision of mine. The original games can't do it due to the platform, but I think that it should be done.
Including yuotube videos is a nice thing, it allows people to do some nice intros and what not. As for the issue of them getting deleted, it is the same as for any other asset. Don't let it get deleted.

Are you using Flixel? I've heard it's very good for bitmaps.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
Fixel is not needed here. It is more for platforming games than interactive novels. I am just using regular flash.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
I agree with you on this. In fact, lukegb had coded a video player for AAO with support for presenting on videos etc., but never gave me precise specs on how to load videos - and whether it was possible to load directly from youtube or not - so in the end I never took the time to try to figure that out and include it.henke37 wrote:Including yuotube videos is a nice thing, it allows people to do some nice intros and what not.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
It's a good thing that you didn't implement that. Now you can use the Video element instead with WebM. Just get someone to link to their video.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
I still think that Flash is better. No need to mess around with manual rendering. And support in all browsers (except lynx).

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
I need some help here, I need some specific sprites that I can not find. It is the penalty exclamation marks, the penalty bar explosion animation and the "unlock successful" text.
The 3d models and textures wouldn't hurt either, but I doubt that anyone is capable of ripping those.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
The exclamation marks are in the court records.net forums. However, "unlock successful" will need to be ripped by one of us.

Re: Redoing the player in Flash
Yes, but it doesn't have the "whoooooooooosh" effect.

That can be done easily with a GIF editor ^^

Please give me some comments on the xml structure that I am using. Right now, I am a bit stumped about how to do classical locations.
