Looking for a module or plugin for moving starfield [FOUND!]

[Iliya]

Hi,

I'm looking for a module or plugin for moving starfield.

Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJO88Qhxwv4

Thanks in advance.

Will something like this (possibly need to wait a bit until the video is ready) do?

It's not the same thing and may not look as good. It's made with V2.72 and it's just a hard-coded test I made four years ago, so it's not a module, but if anyone is interested I may try to change it into a module.

Yes, I think that this will help me (with a little adjustmens). I'll be happy to use this kind of module.

For the adjustments:
- the stars to move in streight line
- colors. I need one color (white or little yellow) for the stars

Thank you very much Iceboty V7000a. There is no module for moving starfield. It will be a great to see this as module.

I once did something similar to prove a point about the transparency issues with DrawingSurfaces. I don't think I still have the source for it though, but I could look around. Or you could go with Icebot.

Thank you, monkey_05_06.

Yesterday, I spend hours to make something similar, but I failed. It's easy to make random stars to move from the center of the screen to the edges of the screen with same speed. But this is not the right way. The speed of star should increase from center to the edges. Also I don't know what is the max numbers of the stars (objects) that I can use in the room. Any ideas? I'm just testing.

For my game I'll use a module if Iceboty V7000a or someone else make a module.

There is a module for this!

Take a look at jerakeen's Particle System Module
Download the demo and switch through the examples, you'll see the starfield. The demo also comes with the source code so you shouldn't have trouble integrating this with your game.

+1 at this.

Seems like all the links are broken.

I just coded a module: StarField_0.1.scm

It's really easy to use and works fine for all resolutions. All it does is paint stars on the room background, so any actual background has to be implemented as non-clickable object.

To use it, simply do:

Code: ags

function room_Load() {

  StarField.SetCenter(180, -20);  // not necessary, default is center of screen
  StarField.Do(3000, 15);  // 3000 stars, speed 15
}

default values are 500 stars and speed 10, both parameters are optional

Demo Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhmDihhelU8  (doesn't lag in-game!)

Thanks LeKhris! I will try it. Looks good!

Oh, btw, try holding down space

Very well said. Then I shall re-provide. Regardless, fantastic job on that module.

Perfect! I implemented it!

Thank you, all who answered to my post.

Just to say I think LeKhris' StarField_0.1.scm is a winner

Yes! I'm using his module
