Great to hear that things are going well with the plugin, GM! :D
Hopefully with some minor fixes left for a perfect display, games can be played on all PCs. :)

All the versions of the plugin have worked fine for me, the 1.8 version also works fine with the background but now using a text message when clicking on something or using a alphablending transition, this options are not working fine.

Ok, the attached beta 1.09 should fix binhotinto's messages/alphablend problems, as well as Imari's white lines around the top face.

However, since it uses some portions of code from the previous betas, there a re some chances that the GeForce problem is there again :? (I hope not!).

Hi GM,
I just tried the plug-in and the lines are indeed gone. :D

However, I added a 2 second transition and a text message to one of the hotspots as a test, and neither worked. Sorry.

EDIT: I'm wrong, transitions ans and text are working fine with the larger sized images.

So, to recap, the beta 1.09 has no more major bugs, right? (except the problem of setting the initial camera angle)

Ron, have a little patience :)
GM-Support is working right now on the plugin to make sure that it runs fine on all computers, and with all graphic/video cards.
I'm sure that he will write about the usage for commercial games, when all the fixes have been done, and the plugin works perfectly.

the only problem i get is:
if you have text on a change room hotspot the text appears in the next room not before you leave.. but that might be my newbie-ness with AM

Nigec, do you mean that you would like to display a message when the player clicks on a hotspot, before he/she is taken to the next screen?

If so, you might need to create a timed event (Action.CreateTimedEvent).

Yeah, Nige, you need to add an alpha blend or other transition, otherwise the text at the bottom will "hang" into the new room because you've left the previous one so quickly. If I want a text message on a hot spot that I use to change rooms, I add a 2 second alpha transition. You can do that without scripting on the Hotspot Properties tab for the hotspot.

Hi GM. Here is some feedback on the 1.09 version of the plugin.

It works fine with my GeForce 7950 GT.
However, I also get the colored lines along the top and bottom edge of the left face. For this test I used your example image from the very first post in this thread:

Image

And the problem with the framerate drop during video playback on a hotspot still persists and will prevent me from using the plugin if there is no workaround.
Anyway, great work! :-)

Ok, it is probably due to my image being not properly combined (if you zoom into the image that I posted initially, you will notice that the edges between the 6 images are slightly blurred). I have replaced the first link with a newly combined image, so please redownload it from:

Thanks for the info. I guess we will need to work together to optimize the framerate of the videos in the v2 of the plugin. I am going to release the v1 first, so that those who don't need videos can already use it.

Thanks again.

You're right, GM. The new test image works perfectly.
And I agree - get version 1 out so that people can start using it for their games.
