Latest News & Scripts

August 11, 2008GMLscripts.com 2.0

http://www.gmlscripts.com/images/_mGM036.gifWhew.

OK, obviously a major update. If things look screwy, clear your browser cache and/or refresh the page. Here's what's new:

  • New Layout - Nicer looking by far, I think, and stretchy, too. It does require a wider screen, but nothing that isn't supported by a typical system.

  • Sidebar Navigation - The GMLscripts.com script index is conveniently placed on the right side of every page.

  • Forum Integration - You can log into your account from GMLscripts.com or the GMLjoint forums. Some site features are disabled if you are not logged in.

  • News Comments - Because the GMLscripts.com news system is now part of the forum, you can easily post public comments on any updates.

  • GML Highlighter - Highlight your GML code for posting on forums or in web pages. Several output options available.

This update was surprisingly long in coming. It was basically ready and supposed to go up about six months ago to coincide with the site's 1st anniversary. Then a funny thing happened. I was asked by GMC staff to be a moderator over there. Then a stupid thing happened. I accepted. That's when all my "Game Maker time" went out the window. Changes are being made to correct that and I'll finally be able to get back to administering GMLscripts.com properly.

Sorry, no new scripts right now. Looks like tomorrow never came.

February 11, 2008Download the Entire Script Collection

http://www.gmlscripts.com/images/_mGM070.gifMore scripts are coming tomorrow. Right now, some news. You can now download the entire GMLscripts.com script collection in a handy zip file. Go to the script index page, and follow the link there. I hope this will eliminate the "need" for some of you to spider the site, which is becoming more and more frequent and annoying. I've been on a banning rampage. Jackasses running bad bots are being swatted left and right. Some of these are ad bots. Many are very naughty Game Maker users. If you are going to run a spider, at least know how to do it right -- respect the robots.txt file and you will never have any problems, ignore it ... that's a paddlin'.

January 26, 2008Sprite Scripts

http://www.gmlscripts.com/images/_mGM030.gifThis week we've got four new sprite related scripts for you. First up are two ways to work with inverted colors, a script for drawing a sprite inverted and one for inverting a sprite resource, which is fully reversable, by the way. Another sprite modifier will convert a sprite to grayscale, a lot of people ask about this. Finally we have a script to draw a sprite stretched in any direction.

Another update is coming very soon ... Stay Tuned!

January 05, 2008RSS Feed Now Available

http://www.gmlscripts.com/images/_mGM_rss.gifI've been swamped, inundated -- nay, deluged! -- with requests for RSS feeds from everybody. Well, you impatient masses, your wish is my boondoggle command! For now, the feed lists new and modified scripts, each with the usual description and a link to the relevant page. Sometimes a script page is modified but the actual script isn't ... tough luck! I'll leave it up to you guys to sort it out yourselves ... all one of you ... Leif.

Enjoy!
