Congrats on the promotion, Richard!

boy will I look like a fool if you end up being a robot...

@jgedri said in Int must be Bool:

To that end, I wrote a function to check the value of currentRoom, which can apparently only be a boolean if I want to use it with FlxOgmo3Loader

What exactly do you mean by this? is this a property you are trying to add in the editor for a level or a restriction when using the code FlxOgmo3Loader? I'll need more info to help

Things are getting pretty out of hand, quickly. I see one of them (marysmith) was banned this past month, so I assume there are mods/admins here that are active. I don't know who the mods are but I want to start a discussion about the future of this forum.

I recommend Richard Bray be upgraded to Mod status, since he's pretty active here and seems to not be a robot. Also, we may want to consider some bot protection, perhaps a captcha at signup (recommended by lorb)

TBH I forget this forum exists, and will hopefully start checking more frequently, but perhaps we should have a bot that posts new threads in the Haxe Discord's #flixel channel? This forum is likely a front-line way of helping haxeflixel newcomers, and it seems neglected. Fixing it up could improve onboarding to our fabulous, welcoming community

this is apparently a newly discovered lime issue, with a fix underway. Will post info when I get it

Apparently if I set the framerate to 60, it runs at 60 on html, for some reason. I consider this a solution, but it raises more questions...

I'm getting shitty framerates in a pretty simple game, I'm porting my old flash Flappy Bird clone to Haxe just to test some tools. IE: 320x512px (at 2x scale) game with a scrolling tilemap and 1 flx sprite

Flash stats:

Html5 stats:

What confuses me, is that html5 appears to have a significantly faster update and draw time, yet the FPS is never above 25. I tried -Dwebgl, any other advice?

Using latest chrome
flixel: 4.3.0 [git]
lime: 2.9.1 [6.4.0] git
openfl: 3.6.1 [8.3.0] git

Oh yeah, I had default on, it breaks when i change to something else. Chrome too

I added <haxelib name="openfl" version="3.6.1" /> in my project.xml. I see this when I build:

Warning: Ignoring requested haxelib "openfl" version "3.6.1" (version "7.1.1" was already included)
Please run 'haxelib set openfl 3.6.1' (Flixel is currently incompatible with OpenFL 4.0.0 or newer).

I have other projects that use latest openfl, and I don't want to keep setting my version back and forth via haxelib, how can I set this project to use 3.6.1 and still be able update my openfl version all willy-nilly for non-flixel projects?

Note: I have both 3.6.1 and 7.1.1 locally

Looks fine to me on 11.0.3

figured it out on stack overflow I can just extend FlxReplay to manipulate different inputs and use those to control the objects while FlxG.mouse and keys control my player.

package com.geokureli.testbed.misc;

import openfl.display.Sprite;
import flixel.input.keyboard.FlxKeyboard;
import flixel.system.replay.FrameRecord;
import flixel.input.mouse.FlxMouse;

class ReplayMouse extends FlxMouse {

side question: why does FlxMouse have a private constructor?
