GS issue with automatic screen shot generation == huge gameproj file
Hi guys,
I found doing my latest game that every time you create a new scene an you run it for a test on GS it creates for you a nice screen shot automatically.
My problem arise when creating multiple scenes, in the middle of my creation inspiration I found a better way to do things so I remove all my scenes and do it again. But sadly all the screen shots are not being removed, they stay forever in the .gameproj file!
So you have to manually remove them:
- Create a copy of your project with different name (Use save as...)
- Go to finder window and rename the file from test.gameproj to test.zip
- Open the test.zip (like a folder)
- find the screen images and remove them. Dont touch anything else unless your completly sure what you are doing...:)
I'm not sure how the gameproj file is compiled to create the applicaton executable, but if it is just added to a viewer type app. as it is, You will end with a huge file if you do not purge this images. In my latest game I removed ALL the screen shots for every scene just to be safe
Hope this tips help you
Cheers
