    New generator based on the good old Kvazars' Littera:
  • b
    Nice, didn’t know about this littera successor 🙂
  • f
    can i scale nineslices?
  • b
    Yes, just set it's scaleX/scaleY properties
  • o
    looking at the code you would need to something like this.
    Copy code
    Haxe
function scale( nine: nineSlice, s: Float ) scaleXY( nine, s );
function scaleXY( nine: nineSlice, scaleX: Float, scaleY: Float ){
  nine.width = nine.width*scaleX; 
  nine,height = nine.height*scaleY;
  nine.slice( nine.sliceTop*scaleY
            , nine.sliceLeft*scaleX
            , nine.sliceBottom*scaleY
            , nine.sliceRight*scaleX );
  // contentDirty
  // computeContent();  should be automatic..
}
  • o
    it looked like the slices need scaling as well?
  • b
    The slices are quads which are children of the NineSlice object so they inherit NineSlice scale, nothing different from every other self contained Ceramic visual here
  • o
    ah ok that's interesting
  • o
    sorry my mistake
  • f
    so if i wanted the nineslice at scale M and actual height N, i'd just need to set scale to M and size to N/M?
  • b
    If you want your object to have a final height of M, you'd need to set the height to N and set scaleY to M/N
  • b
    (same logic for width & scaleX)

    Preparing a new sample using Kenney assets to demonstrate Ceramic platformer capabilities
  • f
    "kenney assets"?
  • b
  • f
    didn't know about that
  • f
    looks useful
  • f
    okay so i just spent like an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my nineslice
  • f
    only to find out that it was working as intended
  • f
    (from gamemaker's nine-slice guide)
  • f
    i was wanting "Repeat"
  • f
    is there anything that gives any looping functionality?
  • f
    i mean like repeating, tiling
  • f
    so, how do i use that?
  • b
    You add the font file you want, configure it the way you want (glyphs, sizes, shadow, etc.) and export it. It's a way to generate bitmap fonts from normal fonts.
  • b
    Do you have a link to that nine slice game maker guide?
  • b
  • b
    I see, I guess an option to tile the inner content could be nice indeed
  • b
    i was thinking the exact same for haxeui's slice-9 🙂
  • b
    I’m confused a bit by the gamemaker tutorial though
