Well... the title says it, a day/night engine, with evening, quite easy to midify

> Gm6 version <




DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION
doesnt make the older version obsolete!, its just a different way to achieve the same day/night effect, use the one that fits your needs

For a better exxplanation of the new code, go HERE

nice i wish id finished mine sooner cause now everyone would think im copycat y'know

Awesome!
Credit?

Hopefully this is good! I need one. Do you need credit?

Oh, man. you really have something here!!
I cant use it though...I promised never to use engines that I didn't make :'(
You did a very nice job. good job son!

Who did you promise that to? That's not very smart... Using other people's work saves time and you can learn from it.

I think that it's a bit weird, but thats me.

How do you change the speed at which the time goes? Ive been trying but i cant figure it out.

The Link is Broken

EDIT: Soz my laptop just doesnt like the link. But i got it!

How can i slow the clock down to real time? and how can i stop it going red?

Wow, i didnt think this will get so many attention...



yeah, its the best, besides its not too much work to write "day/night engine by manuel777" a you games's topic



In the create event:


add an alarm[0] event:



and in the step avent change

for


thats what i do

to stop going red add:

at the end of the step event

PLEASE post the gm.6 version!

Get gm7...even if you like to use gm6, you can have them both installed on the same computer, and if your gm6 is registered, gm7 will be free.

LOL I run windows 98 I cant even run gm7

whit the Gm 6 ver of Game Maker you can stop GM decompoiler. (tho i have both GM 6 and 7

really?? i didnt know that... is there any GM7 to GM6 converter?? i cant copy and paste 3000 codes XD (PM me, offtopic)

can you make a video torturial how to add it to a game. im very new to game maker and ill really need this, its awesome!

A video tutorial? damnit, u r a nood (no effense hehe), just merge it in your game, change the depth from the merged object, add it in the room and Voilá! its easy, even for a noob... (you dont have to code practically anything, just delete the draw_text() function in the draw event, if you want)

dont get it :S. isnt it just to insert a object in my game as in the day and night engine that got the same functions and then also add the same excute code and then add the object to my lvl ? cuz that dosent work

use the "merge" option in the game maker's menu... so you dont have to copy anything!

ive uploaded tha gm6 version and added it to the first post... enjoy!

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!ive been looking for something like this for i dont know how long!!!!!!!

edit:how do i get it so that sprites(npc's,playerc,etc.)also get the same shading and all that?

change the depth of the controller, below the players depth

I made this kind of thing, too, except the only thing missing was drawing that black rectangle with the correct alpha value. Oh well.

yeah, it isnt too complicated to make any way (there are many posts like yours)

hey great work mate this is sweet as!

thanx

how would i make it every minute it will go up 1 hour :S

and

make it follow real time

lolz, i am a noob, i was just about to post a complaint because i couldn't get it to work in my new game, but it was not because it was faulty, it waas because my new game as a "Z" axis...

mmmm... didnt i explaine this before?

EDIT:
Nevermind, I've got it now.

(Sorry if this is a bump, I opened the link from an e-mail)

How do I make it follow actual minutes, seconds and hours? I want actual time in my game.

thanks this helped me alot,


but how do you make the night/day apply to objects??

duh?? what do you mean??

obviously i mean that objects in my game dont get darker and lighter as like the background does, and i want to know how to fix this problem.

change the depth from the engine controller, over the objects

alright


thank you

Lengendarious!

Ok im reauploading every single file i posted, so heres the GM6 ONLY, the gmk is useless if you have the gm6 right below

Just wondering... What sort of damage does this do to your FPS? I wanted to use it for my upcoming MMORPG but if it has a drastic effect on FPS I might not want to incorporate it. I ran some tests with it today and my FPS dropped below 30 for the first time ever.

You shouldnt have ANY fps damage... it uses math functions and a ( stupidly simple ) draw rectangle function.... nothing else

edit: i just tested and the max FPS i get is 500...

Hmm. This concerns me. We are completely re-coding our engine right now. So we will see what it does to the new (much more powerful) engine. Perhaps the lag was caused by another mistake in the coding. Possibly our emoticon system. I will keep you updated. Thanks by the way!

Good engine, not much lag here. Im sure it can't be from your emoticon system. How much CPU can that take?

EDIT: Unless ofcourse its ineffecently coded.

Note that I said "perhaps" another mistake in the coding. Its most likely that our engine was just coded poorly overall. Thats why that we are doing a total re-write of it. I was just trying to pass blame on the emoticons because we added them at about the same time.

Love your sig =P

yeah, me too...

my engine CANT be the cause of the lag, its just a stupid math code and a draw rectangle function, if that ever has a fps damage, then theres something ive seriously missed all of this years

You were right. It was a mistake on my end. Thank you for replying though.

Good to know

This was just what i was looking for!
Thnx!
8/10

Probably a noob question, but how do i get the time to stay in my view?

you can do slow time?
