Would it be possible to get rid of the white flash on boot? It looks fine if the splash.bin has a white background, but pretty awful with anything else.

Updated the original post with version 1.0.3. You can now create a `splashes` directory in the root of your SD card and place multiple splash screens in there to have the splash screens randomly show up. (Just make to delete `splash.bin` from the root of your SD card.)

Great, you got it done before me. I was stuck at how to traverse the file system. I'm such a hekate hacking noob. LOL

On the plus side, your code now helps to educate me further. Thanks for the sauce!

Just tested it on my 5.0.2 Switch just to be sure and everything worked. The only thing I can think of is possibly the wrong payload. Or the "splashes" folder in the root of your SD Card is misspelled? Are you using Fat32 or ExFat? I do have an update to fix a few unrelated bugs. (Will skip over directories if you have any directories in the "splashes" folder. If you don't have a "splash.bin" file in the root and you have the "splashes" folder with nothing in there it would crash trying to access a null pointer.)

Version 1.0.4 is now live on GitHub: https://github.com/Shmadul/hekate-ipl-50x/releases/tag/v1.0.4

Change Log
  • Will now skip over directories if you have any directories in the "splashes" folder for some reason?
  • If you don't have a "splash.bin" file in the root and you have the "splashes" folder with nothing in there the payload would crash trying to access a null pointer.
Thanks, testing in few hours....

So one question : if i have a splash.bin file in the root of my sd and inside splashes folder again, which will be launched ?

It will display the splash.bin in the root. If you want to have multiple splash screens then delete the splash.bin in the root of the SD Card.
There is one payload for splash.bin on root so, why don't push your payload to ignore the splash.bin on root and launch these in splashes folder ?

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
