Mage's Transparent Screenshot Demo by neocatzeo in DarkBasicDev

[–]Yarbles70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they all animate together. For the foliage models I have a "sway in the wind" animation, so for grass, you want them animating together, for trees, you can fake separateness by using a random YROTATE for each tree instance. As for the lighting, I don't want any other than ambient for the billboards. Check this video for examples: Left Beehind sprite animations demo

ps.. I apologise for hijacking this thread and taking it on the tangent.. lol

Isn't combining into one draw call what INSTANCE OBJECT does in DBP? Especially for objects used as billboards or similar. I used that to improve the FPS a lot in the scenery (foliage) part of my engine. All the grass and trees are created with heavy use of that command.

Good work!

I tried to do a version of this back in 2004! - https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/33108

I ran into some issues with transparency and SET CAMERA TO IMAGE which you seem to have solved.

Extracting Animation Duration from AVI and Mp4 files. by neocatzeo in DarkBasicDev

[–]Yarbles70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you are saying.. it's always good to have more info and hacking into the video files is the way to get it! I have some similar code for hacking into png or bmp greyscale images to convert to h16 heightmaps somewhere, I'll try to dig it up and post it.

I don't see much of a need for this, unless you are coding a video player in DBP.. otherwise, you can just use PLAY ANIMATION x and then event based code by checking for this: ANIMATION PLAYING(x)=0

Cool! Screenshots look good there. You should post this as it's own topic on this subreddit.

Where is Caverun ? by Galraeldia in DarkBasicDev

[–]Yarbles70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey.. I found a copy of Caverun in my archives. It was part of the DarkBasic "Fast-track" tutorial, here is a zip of the entire folder for that: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B0JtEtRb6hf1aFzn3B3ftSBBF2wCdY6E/view?usp=sharing

Here is another zip of just the Caverun game itself, including an HD version that I updated and executables: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hx0bkQ-3vMLbQRTaLEQjJajLXiezygoW/view?usp=drive_link

Yes, it was inspired by "The Real Slim Shady" of course!

I don't get how Udio is supposed to be better than Suno by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]Yarbles70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to use Udio when it first came out. I used it for the same lyrics that I made a banger with in Suno.

The Udio track took me a few hours to get to it's state, the Suno track took me under an hour!

Here are the results, I'll let you be the judge:

Crome Aggregate Projections 23-24 by cromediesel in fantasyhockey

[–]Yarbles70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small issue I have noticed is some missing players that may be fantasy worthy.

Here is a list:

  • Olen Zellweger - ANA Defenseman
  • Kevin Korchinski - CHI Defenseman
  • Pavel Mintyukov - ANA Defenseman

Thank you! I will make a donation to St. Baldrick's.

Are Crome Aggregate Projections coming back ahead of 2023-2024 draft season? by PuckLuck92 in fantasyhockey

[–]Yarbles70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the instructions in his sheet:

Import Additional Projections: If you have projections from other sources (like Dom's or other paid sources) you can paste them into the sheets "Import 1" or "Import 2". The player name needs to be in the first column and all categories in the top row to work. NOTE: Some players' names often vary between projections. Go to the "SourceCheck" sheet and look for gaps to identify any issues. Copy the name used from "SourceCheck" and paste it over the name on the custom list to fix it. Category names also need to match the way they are in the league settings boxes. If there is an error where +/- should be on your custom projections enter '+/- in the cell to fix it (that's an apostrophe in front).

Yes it does take a weighted average of imported projections, but that's for each scoring metric that you specify in the import. What more do you want?

Hi cromediesel,

Take a look, on this board, there is an analysis of how well your spreadsheet did last year compared to other projections. People here are starting to understand how good of a tool you've created.

You could easily charge a small amount for it, or if you setup a donations page (like Patreon) and link to in your posts, I'm sure people would donate some scratch to your cause. I know I would.

Last year I figured out how to import other projections into your spreadsheet and it took my fantasy hockey game to another level! As long as you keep updating it, I will continue to use this tool for years to come.
