what is dis, IMAGE TOO LARGE TO SAFELY PUT INTO GAMESALAD? I cant get jiggy wit dis

digitalzero

i dont remember this being an issue with gamesalad and the way they resized my image i completely hate... basically what i did was took 480 and times it by 5 which equalled 2400 which is the width of my scene image... what am i supposed to do when i start creating the actual levels (because I hand design them and throw in "floors and walls" as long with the enemies... what should i do you guys cause im clueless

Gs maximum is 2048. You need to cut it up into several pieces in your graphics software.

when did this change because i remember there not being a maximum before in gs

Yep, GS can only get jiggy with files no larger than 2048 x 2048.

If it's an issue, just split a larger file into a few smaller pieces.

@socks my only thing is the positioning of the images... so since my absence from gamesalad we didnt get a "snap to grid" type thingy did we 0:-)

Yes, it's all there, snap-to-grid, duplicate, multiple select, on-screen guides, rulers, zoom, step and repeat, live access to parameters (etc), you just need draw them onto your monitor with a Sharpie.

Even with access to a grid there are still those who would struggle working with it

But @JSproject that photo gives me a great idea... I'll just do my app development in a cage and any time I need a grid I can hold it up to the cage and see where my actors need to be placed. Brilliant!

@digitalzero the old versions of GS actually had a limit of 1024 pixels so the latest versions have actually been increased.
