Ask a Question / Game size

« on: May 21, 2018, 08:47:54 am »

Hi all am hoping someone can help me here, in a nutshell i am creating a desktop game, the resolution is 640x480 as i want it to have a retro look. The problem is though, when ever i import a background stencyl creates 4 other versions of the image file causing the game size to be massive when i export it. Im importing 640x480 image at x1 no smoothing, in the settings the scaling is set to 1x and i unchecked x2, x3,x4 and x5 yet stencyl still creates these extra files after import when all i want is the one file at 640x480 and not all the scaled ones stencyl creates, obviously im doing something wrong but cant figure out what lol, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all apologies if this is a silly question but i would really appreciate some help if anyone can.
Basically im trying to make a desktop game, i have the game size at 1280x720, when i go to import my 1st background i am importing that as 1280x720 size image too, i have scaling set to x1 and resize is bicubic but, as soon as it is imported i get a 90% memory reached error and i have no idea what i am doing wrong? I just basically want my finished game to be able to run at full screen in 720p but cannot seem to get around this issue, many thanks in advance

Ask a Question / side scrolling problem

« on: February 28, 2017, 10:16:11 am »

Hi there, i am very new to stencyl and im hoping the problem i have is a simple one and any help would be much appreciated.
In  a nutshell im just making a test level to see how i get on with stencyl.  Im attempting to make a side scroller, the scene is 3 times wider than the default, i have used tiles and the actor mambo from stencyl forge. Now where im having the problem is that as soon as the camera scrolls with the actor, i lose all collision detection with tiles further down the screen and i just fall straight through them. i Have tried turning on continuous collision detetcion in both the scene and the actors own properties. I have also tried adding a "when created event enable continuous collision detection" to both the actor and the scenes events tab. I have tried all of the above individually and all at the same time too and no combination of either is helping me.  Any help would be great as untill i get this  fixed i have no chance of even making a simple side scroller.
Thanks very much in advance
