Thanks for the comments, guys - sorry I didn't reply to any of them sooner.

Unfortunately, I don't have any plans to fix remaining bugs in this plugin - my familiarity with the code has dwindled over time, reducing my ability to identify problems. This, combined with my full-time work and school schedules - which leave me little time for my current projects - means I'll be dropping support indefinitely.

However, I would like to say that I've just finished tinkering around with the C2 plugin SDK a little bit and I'm starting to get a grasp of what's going on in that regard. With any luck, you'll see something on that front in a few weeks time, although I make no promises.

In the event that I do release a C2 version of this plugin, updates will likely be sporadic and I might start accepting donations as a way to offset the time invested. Life is a demanding mistress and I am submissive to its will.

Be sure to keep an eye out for any updates - I'll let you guys know as soon as I have more to report.

Once again, thanks for all of the downloads and comments for this plugin - I see it as my crowning achievement in this community and the support is much appreciated. ]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2012 20:22:54 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026_post350996.html#350996 Author: CrudeMik

Hey linkman2004

Just started using magiCam and found it to be rather nice. However was hoping you could squeeze in time to look at that changing layout global issue... :)

Even a destroy camera function would probably do it - I have found creating a new camera at the start of each layout works(I set it to layoutName) BUT if you cross back into the previous layout the camera stops working.

Cheers,
Steven]]> Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:25:13 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026_post298713.html#298713 Author: shadowlord

Yeah, and if the object the camera follows is destroyed, the next time it's created it the camera doesn't follow it anymore. And even if i add the object to the camera following objects later, it still won't follow it.
Here's what I mean:

I tried setting the magicam plugin to 'global' so I wouldn't have to add a new instance for every layout, but this appears to make the resulting game crash.

Is it possible to do this without killing the game, or should I just work around it?]]> Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:22:23 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026_post298304.html#298304 Author: Segoi

Sorry, the plugin doesn't support displaying multiple cameras at the same time. This is something I tried implementing, but I never got anything working because it involved utilizing some undocumented/confusing functions from the SDK.]]> Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:58:59 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026_post297757.html#297757 Author: Segoi

Hey! I would love to have a dual camera for realtime multiplayer on same computer :) Im making a game and I've tried to make it work, but it seems impossible with my kind of visual structure of the game.]]> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:35:52 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026_post297191.html#297191 Author: StreakThundrstrm

@StreakThundrstrm - Glad you're liking it! To fix the issue with unwanted layers zooming, go to the layer properties pane, and there you'll see two properties for your HUD layer -- Zoom X Rate and Zoom Y Rate. Setting both of these to zero will keep the layers from zooming with everything else.

And just in case you want to keep a layer from rotating, I'm pretty sure I have an action that allows you to exclude a layer from rotation.

I hope this helps!]]> Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:30:55 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/re-magicam-plugin-v143-betaupdated-12-10_topic41026.html
