    I'm guessing Project Optimizer, that would be cool for a lot of GS users.

    Or maybe a totally new, non advertised product that turns GS in to a French maid with benefits?

    Or a time travel plug-in for GS

    Or a tool that transcribes Oasis songs in to binary code (I saw your Oasis YouTube video ;P)

    Hey Darren, quick question regarding Project Optimizer. Does Project Optimizer just give a report of errors/bugs in our GS projects, or does it also fix those errors? Thanks.

    looks very interesting, could you make the screen shots more readable ? :)

    Where are the shaders in GS? Will we be able to adjust actor positions from the optimiser?

    never mind...I will watch the vid..sorry :)

    The Application will fix, Image and Sound Names, and apply extra compression. All other data reported is for the user to 'choose' to action. We do have an internal working version of Optimizer which WILL resolve many issues, but we felt this would appear rather 'aggressive' and leave the user wandering what the hell just happened! We therefore chose to predominately report on issues.

    Good idea! and Done!, click on the images to see a larger preview. There is a lot of detail and information being presented to the user, so good, clear screenshots are an excellent idea. Thanks.

    No idea! The software we are producing analyzes the file structure, and these are located. They could be from older version of GameSalad, or they could be something for the future??

    never mind...I will watch the vid..sorry :)

    I hate YouTube videos! :-)

    How about an IOS to Android conversion...would pay lot$ more for that!

    Love to do this, but I can't see this happening.... With GameSalad...

    Fantastic. Just knocked 40% off my project size with this and gained 5fps. Excellent!

    However it did make one of my music files unplayable after compression or renaming. Simple enough to re-import that one though.
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    @StusApps
    Thats Fantastic! Really glad the tool/s are helping. 40% ! that's a lot of compression, do you're images also look exactly as they did before? They should do.

    At present we are not compressing the music files, but we do handle the renaming and re-association. The m4a, aac, mp3 compression algorithm we are working on has some excellent results, this will be available in an update soon.

    We would be very interested to see the issues withe Music File though... If you could contact me directly I would like to further review what might be happening. We tested with hundreds of scenarios, but would like to know what happened in this case.

    Or, just provide me with a list of the Names of the files in the sounds folder, BEFORE and AFTER the Optimizer had it's wicked way with them.

    That's incredible. I will buy it as soon as I get home.

    In the actors info is it possible to edit the data? (like size and position)

    I looked on the site, would more info be available for the GS ` editor ?

    thanks.`

    WOOOOOooooWoE...when did merger and attributes go up in price by 40% ??!!
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    @JamieOneil: Thanks for the interest in the GS Editor. We will release more information on the GS Editor closer to the time of release. For now we would rather not discuss at length functionality, so as not to over-hype or disappoint.

    @Rob2: WOOOOOOOooooWoE: Did you see a Ghost or a Werewolf!. :-)
    The initial release of the Merger & Attributes tools were discounted. They are now in GBP, and rather cheap for what functionality they provide in our (and others) opinions. £10 for a tool which took months to develop is not, we believe an un-reasonable price. The Merger tool now £30, enables super quick, simple and efficiency when joining two projects together, as well as extending the possibilities for people to work in teams on separate projects.

    For the record though, both myself and Darren would like to be able to bring the tools to a wider audience, especially where cost is an issue, but we do have to recoup our costs, and cover the extensive development cycle that has gone into these tools. The time savings these tools bring, we believe is invaluable.

    Suggestion to deepblue dudes, how about a bundle for all your products with friendly bundle pricing?
  • izamizam Member, PRO Posts: 503
    Thanks for this tool Darren and Wayne! Just bought it and helped a lot.
    One question though about the "actors spawning inspector".
    I'm not sure why but after running through the process a couple of times and tweaking and deleting stuff and then running through again, I still can't understand why it still brings up the "spawn found".

    II checked and rechecked, 'm very sure I didn't spawn any thing at all.

    Great job guys!! You are really amazing, and such an incredible asset to this community, I will be buying all of your tools :) Keep em' coming!

    This is amazing :D just about to buy! Keep these tools coming!

    Cheers.
  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    I already have Attributes and Merger, was just a bit surprised to see prices shoot up:)
    Is optimiser half price at the mo ? (will go up to £60 soon?). I do think you should make these price fluctuations clear on the site.

    WOW, are these worth the money for everyone who's purchased them?

    Tshirtbooth, what are your thoughts so far? Worth the money?

    So far, ALL of Darren and Wayne's tools are well worth the price. So far, I have purchased Project Resizer and Project Optimizer, and both have saved me a ton of time. I highly recommend them to any GS user.

  • MarkOnTheIronMarkOnTheIron Member Posts: 1,447
    This is totally worth the money. It really help you clean your projects and have a great overview of them.

    Unfortunately you can't edit instances with it but I hope they will come up with something for it, I'm really tired of manually editing all those XMLs...

    @MarkOnTheIron
    The next release of Optimizer will allow you to edit instance data, size and position (if available). This will be an advanced option, for users who are comfortable editing the data within our tool, without seeing a visual, live update. Once you commit the changes your XML FIles will be updated accordingly.

    Absolutely, 100% worth the money. I have every one of these tools, and they have been very valuable to me. My favorite one is Project Resizer. Saves me SOOO much time when converting games to other platforms.

    I also used project optimizer on one of my bigger games, and it shaved off a 1-2 seconds load time! Also shaved off some mb's too!

    They are all definitely worth it!

    That alone would be worth 10 times the price you're selling this tool.
