Turns out that GM doesn't automatically play nice with vector images, you need to use some code to get everything looking hunky dory. My vector art was looking like someone had taken a sawtooth blade to the edges and it was all tiny and missing details and stuff. I imported my deliciously smooth vector art image (one of the optional heads the player can choose) into GM and booted up the game. swf files from Inkscape or another free/cheap vector art program, I'm all ears).
swf that GM would accept (btw, if anyone has any tips on getting usable. I imported my file from Inkscape into Adobe Illustrator and.Bam! It looked all messed up and Illustrator threw up a few errors, so I had to spend another day editing and fixing up how Illustrator converted the file but finally, I had a piece of vector art exported as. I had to bite the bullet and buy a monthly subscription to Adobe Illustrator. So back to where I was before I even started out. swf from Inkscape (including trying out some file converters) but nothing that I could find worked. I spent a little bit of time scrounging around to see if I could figure out a way to get. swf files as vector art and Inkscape has no. A day or so later (figuring out how Inkscape worked and then creating the actual image) and huzzah! I had my first vector art.Time to import it into GM.
I downloaded Inkscape and started messing around. So I did what basically everyone does when starting up with vector art. No Vector For You!Īfter deciding on vector art, the very first thing I needed was a program to create vector art. Here's my list of problems and the fixes I used to get it working. I've literally never dabbled in vector art for GM before, so it was a little confusing to begin with. So I decided to switch over to using vector art. But I was getting less and less satisfied with the purely pixel art graphics of the game, especially as my programmer art player heads swelled to a large size. I had Headshot! coming along nicely, if slowly, over the Christmas and New Years break.
This is a very basic rundown of myself getting vector art working properly in GM without having ever used it before.
