Re: [Pipmak-Users] Pipmak development

[Fabrizio P. <fpi...@li...>]

Hello,
sorry, (I remind I am NOT a programmer ^_^)


Suppose to start in window mode.
We switch to fullscreen 1024*768 using pipmak.setfullscreen()x4 (maybe th=
e numbers are wrong but doesn't the matter ;) )
Now we can switch [1] 1280*1024 using pipmak.setfullscreen()x2 or [2] bac=
k to 800*600 with pipmak.setfullscreen(true)x2 [3] 640*480 with pipmak.se=
tfullscreen(true)x4 and so on...
In  my option screen I'm currently using "<<prev" & " next >> " resolutio=
n and "fullscreen/window" but I'm planning to use the way above.
The only problem due to the qickly use of pipmak.setfullscreen() is that =
some time may happen that the monitor switch to the wanted resolution but=
 the game area remains smaller in top left of te screen
Is a dirty hack but can be easily implemented in resource/default.lua
________________________________________________________

For the second point I hope you haven't based your work on the old mine :=
D because I've have examinated the window regestry myself to determinate =
how icons and application association work and I'm not sure that is 100% =
correct !

<A Lua function to smoothly pan to a specific direction in a panorama.>

-get the difference of the coords of the current viewdirection with the t=
arget view direction
-divide this value in an arbitrary number (60)
-for each  x millisecons (pipmak.schedule) and increase/decrease the coor=
ds of the current view
what params would we use?
az,el: coord
time: the time the animation last
div(2 to 360): greater is this number smoother is the animation
clockwise (true/false): for value between 181 and 359 we can set clockwis=
e=3Dfalse

This is not important but easy and useful for newbe:
There is a plugin for Gimp for extract and save all frames from a video a=
s mymovie_0000; mymovie_0001 etc with a schedule we can play it on a patc=
h
we can use a function playmovie() or an object like "sound"

local intro movie {"../movie/intro/intro_", framenumber =3D 100, [framera=
te=3D60]}
intro:play()

What do you think? I hope is not stupid...

Best regars,
Fabrizio.
