Update tutorial with 0.9.4 parallax image layers

[parasyte]

0.9.4 supports parallax backgrounds using image layers, the tutorial is still using tile layers.

[melonjs]

Yep, but I'm actually waiting for Tiled to officially support it ( public build), before cleaning both the code and the tutorial :)

[parasyte]

Ah I didn't know it wasn't "official" in Tiled yet. I removed the milestone, since we don't know what that will happen.

[melonjs]

Unfortunately yes... :(
note that I wish it could also be available in the next version (0.9.0?) so that I can get rid of the old crappy stuff :)

Linking this ticket with #12

FYI, last comment from Thorbjørn on the Tiled website :

Glad you find this software useful! As for the next release, the answer can pretty much only be "when it's done". I would like to release it within the next month, but I don't know I'll have enough time to polish the rough edges. It might be better if you tried to find somebody who can do daily builds for the Mac.

I can do Mac builds, if that's what you need.

[melonjs]

No No :)
I was just saying, there is still hope in having a public/official build soon :)

[parasyte]

Ack! Closed this earlier by accident. Fat fingered it on my phone. :p "Within the next month" sounds like a good window for the Tiled team. I hope they fix the weirdness in drawing the cursor/highlight on OS X, though!

[melonjs]

wow finally !

I will be happy to also finally close this one and #12 :)

[melonjs]

Another API change confirmed for 0.9.5 :)

[melonjs]

Is there any merciful soul out there with an OSX nightly build of Tiled ? that would allow me to update the screenshots in the tutorial without waiting for the official version to be available :)

[parasyte]

I do. I'll package it up when I get to the office in about an hour. :)

[andyveliz]

i've built it, but it doesn't work... tonight i have more time to find out what's wrong... :(

[melonjs]

that's great ! thank you very much :)

I think after we could upload it here in the repo, as this might be useful for other as well .

@parasyte

so, it actually crashed when I launched it for the very same reason you suspected :(

Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.3/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore Referenced from: /Volumes/bin:Tiled/Tiled.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found

I've been looking for some solution on google, but did not find anything useful :(

Since you are the only on earth right now with a working build, would you mind taking a screenshot of the new Image layer dialog box and send it to me ? I think that's all what is needed for now, and it would allow me to finish the tutorial.

[parasyte]

grrrrrrrr!! Here's the screenshot:

[melonjs]

If anyone has 10~15 minutes to waste, I would not say no to some review, just to ensure I did not use/put to much frenglish inside :)

[parasyte]

hehe frenglish. The grammar is ok, actually. :) Maybe just one or two things I would change.

Would you prefer an image that matches the tutorial better?

[melonjs]

Definitely helpful, thank you very much :)
