[Resolved] Picture Flip

[EOG]

Hello

I've got a problem(?) with pictures. What I mean is I need to flip them(so final game will need less disc space).

I've allredy tried force flipping by:

$game_screen.pictures[1].show("Picture", 0, 100, 100, -100, 100, 255, 0)

but it does not work.

Any Ideas/Scripts ?

How will flipping pictures cause the game to take less disk space? Just wondering, as by flipping sprites inside the game, the file the sprite is made from still exists in the game, and will in no way change its size.

Oh, and the only solution to actually flipping (mirroring a picture), you would have to do this using the bitmap of the picture. 'self.bitmap' does work within the Sprite_Picture class, so inside Spriteset_Map you can use the code:

@picture_sprites[number].mirror

Replace number with whatever the picture number is.

I hope this helps. If this was not what you meant, try to be more descriptive next time.

Cheers.

I am using same picture many times but in some places it needs to be flipped(mirrored) and if I do that(flip them by code) I do not need an extra(flipped) picture in game folder.

Tried it but did not work. What I did was add an extra line in Spriteset_Map

@picture_sprites[9].mirror

in initialize and(not in the same time) update but did not work(thought no error).

Maybe I am doing sth wrong so can you make a demo with one flipped picture using this method?

Or maybe sb has other idea.

Thx for help

It will not work unless the picture of ID 9 already is shown using Show Picture command.
Make a method inside Spriteset_Map that goes as follows:

def flip_picture(index)
  @picture_sprites[index].mirror
end

Oh, and you will need this little piece of code anywhere above Main:

class Scene_Map
  attr_reader :spriteset
end

Once that is added, use:

$scene.spriteset.flip_picture(9)

Make sure this is called when you're on the map in an event or inside Scene_Map (or whenever Scene_Map is the current scene). If you want to call this several places, you will need to add a check, use this code:

if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
  $scene.spriteset.flip_picture(9)
end

Hope this helps.

Thx for help but still not working. Tried even in New Project

 

[Sarkilas]

I edited the flip_picture method in the previous post. I tested it with a new project and it worked for me.

Cheers.

If your working I am doing something wrong.

I've got an error message:

Here is the project I've made. Can you tell what is wrong?

Aha. I see what I forgot to add. Change the method into this:

def picture_flip(index)
  @picture_sprites[index].mirror = true
end

I just did that in your project and it worked just fine.

Cya around.
