Non-readable Ganis

Twinny · #1 01-23-2008, 01:36 AM

It would be great if you could use ganis that arn't in cleartext. You could perhaps make a one-way save option in graalshop (*.xani

) which the client can read (keep another original for editing but not upload) or someway to allow clients to use ganis without saving a cleartext gani file...

However it is done, I think it would be handy

While you're at it, fix it so that when saving, you don't have to type .gani at the end of the filename manually for it to be saved correctly.

While you're at it, make rotation possible for the sprites

While you're at it, do it.

Gani shop definitely needs a lot of nice updates.. if Stefan's not going to do it he needs to release the source code so at least the community can fix it.

Would be cool if graal shop could be updated with some of the features that Flash has; rotating, even movement (Motion Tweens), copying and pasting, stretching, skewing.

Would also be nice is if basic gani scripts could be shown (even if in GS1)- say you have a player with a ball moving around them; I don't know. You want to do it in a script so you can do it smoothly, but without taking a ton of time. It could show the ball moving when you play it.

Just a few ideas. Not sure the non-readable GANI's would really have that much of a purpose, but that is just me. I suppose they could be downloaded like levels are (I believe in some weird format in the weblevels directory?)

I made a proggie that parses the .gani files into object-instances in an app... I haven't actually went forward and made it so you can do customizations with them, however. If you're interested in it, I could send you a copy of the code.

This thread is made of epic win. I totally support everything posted in here.

bscharff · #9 01-24-2008, 02:46 AM

I'd like to see the code for reference :o

Twinny · #10 02-05-2008, 03:14 AM

Still want! I think the .code idea is a good one.

zokemon · #11 02-05-2008, 08:11 AM

Yeah, some kind of secondary extension that is a compiled version of the .gani would be nice.

Not to big of a deal though since gani scripts usually just display things and don't actually usually display information you don't want to get out.

There is already a way to encode files, it's not supported by the npcserver yet though so the gani cannot have a script.

The source for the gani editor will not be released, we can provide help though if someone wants to make a scripted editor for it.

Why always scripted? Why would you prefer scripted stuff over hardcoded stuff?

so no one messes them up on accident? like i do occasionally ands have to ask around for the real one xD

So it's available on all platforms at all times and is easily updated and distributed to everyone probably.
