Please help test Phaser 2.0.3 (would really appreciate it!)

[rich]

Hi all,

 

I've just pushed up a new build package for Phaser 2.0.3 which I would really really like you all to test in your current games.

 

You can get the build files from here: https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/tree/dev/build

 

It contains 2 important changes:

 

1) Now using Pixi 1.5.2 internally

 

2) Using a modified State update core loop. The State.update method is now called BEFORE any other sub-system (see this thread here: https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/issues/661)

 

It's change number 2 that is the most important to test on the widest range of games. So even if your game is finished, so long as it used Phaser 2.x I would really appreciate you dropping the new build file in and testing if the game works ok. If it does then PLEASE post about it here. And of course if it doesn't please post here too! You don't have to explain in detail what breaks, just a short summary will suffice.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Cheers,

 

Rich

Tested in only one game of mine (the one I'm currently working), and works fine. I'll keep using it (:

I tried my game CargoBlaster with the new code and it seems to not change the state properly. The preload bar loads all the way and then it just sits there. Maybe I'm not calling something properly, but in Phaser 2.0.2, it worked perfectly. You can view/debug the game here:

There are no errors in the console, so I'm not sure what is wrong.

@jyapayne: i think it has to do with your music file, because it stops here:

 

if (this.cache.isSoundDecoded('music') && this.ready == false)

 

try without music or another mp3 file if it works then.

My arcade physics stopped working for the most part, although I have it set up in a temporary weird and worrysome way when I was having issues with Arcade physics and groups at a time (though it still worked fine in 2.0.2).

 

It seems like the only physics check still working is relating to enemies which are groups held in an array.  Here's my collision code in the update:

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(g_wall, g_player, null, null, this);        // *****This still works******        for (var i = 0; i < g_enemy.length; i++)  {            this.game.physics.arcade.collide(g_wall, g_enemy[i], null, null, this);            this.game.physics.arcade.overlap(g_player, g_enemy[i], this.entityOverlap, null, this);        }        //****************************        this.game.physics.arcade.overlap(g_player, g_door, this.door_overlapped, null, this);

g_sprite is a group containing all groups/entities (for Z axis sorting).

g_player extends Phaser.Group containing multiple sprites.

g_enemy also extends Phaser.Group, set like this, where g_enemy is just an array:

            switch (object_string.slice(0, (object_string.length - 3)) ) {                case "enemy":                    map.obj['p' + pad(i, 2)] = new EnemyCharacter(map.room_data[i][1], i, map.room_data[i][2], map.room_data[i][3]);                    map.obj['p' + pad(i, 2)].name = object_string;                    g_enemy[i] = map.obj['p' + pad(i, 2)];                    g_sprite.add(g_enemy[i]);                    break;            }

Also for some reason my character is running around at double the speed he was before.  Here's the movement code:
 

if (game.left_key.isDown && this.entity.body.velocity.x > -this.entity.speed && this.entity.e.allowMovement) {        this.entity.body.velocity.x = -this.entity.speed;    }

I tried my game CargoBlaster with the new code and it seems to not change the state properly. The preload bar loads all the way and then it just sits there. Maybe I'm not calling something properly, but in Phaser 2.0.2, it worked perfectly. You can view/debug the game here:

 

Can I just confirm - if you swap the phaser.js 2.0.3 file for the 2.0.2 one available from the site, does it work fine? I.e. literally just swapping to 2.0.3 breaks it?

 

It's entirely possible this is the case, I just need to be crystal clear - if enough other people report similar results then I simply can't keep the state change update.

Tested,  my game game  didnt even load. Before everything was working fine. I m using the Full Screen Mobile template.

[qdrj]

Audio files can't be loaded. Bum.

It works perfectly with 2.0.2

[jyapayne]

@rich: Yes, that is correct. You can see it working fine at http://simplypixelated.com/cargoblaster/ with Phaser 2.0.2. Simply dropping in 2.0.3 causes the issue.

 

@Chupup Games: I tried moving the call for switching the state into the create() method, but it hangs before it gets there.

[rich]

Ahh.. sorry all, I messed up the SoundManager in that build. I've just pushed a brand new one that has audio working again properly.

 

Sorry for being a pain, please could you re-test with this

[jyapayne]

@rich, Okay it looks like my game works now I updated my link at http://simplypixelated.com/static/CargoBlaster/CargoBlasterPhDev/ and the game seems to run just like it did on 2.0.2. 

[LeonardoDigital]

I´m afraid  my game doesnt load with this version either. It doesnt have anything to do with  sound since I commented all the lines of code sound related. It just doesnt load.

With 2.0.2. everything was working fine.

These is the error I get:

 

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

phaser.min.js:6

1. Uncaught ReferenceError: Phaser is not defined

[rich]

LeonardoDigital - is your game uploaded anywhere I could see? Would like to see how you've structured your code that makes it fail.

[LeonardoDigital]

@rich   Sure. Here´s the link:

 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12028110/JereMovil/index.html

[rich]

Sorry to be a pain but could you share the dropbox folder with me? (send it via PM if you like so I can download it and run it locally. I think the error is happening because phaser.min.js hasn't finished downloading before your anonymous function in index.html has run. If you were to wrap that in a window.onload or a DOMContentLoaded I reckon it'd probably be ok.

[valueerror]

testet!  works fine!  

[LeonardoDigital]

@rich Ok.I ve just sent u a message. I have to say that I m a complete newbie so I wouldtnt know how to do the last thing you mentioned.

[jyapayne]

@LeonardoDigital: You have a bunch of html in your phaser.min.js file. I'm assuming you copied it wrong or something. Or maybe it has something to do with dropbox. Did you right click the file on github and click save as? Because that doesn't work on github. I've done that a few times myself You have to either clone the repo or open the file completely and then copy and paste the raw output into a file.

seems all good on the 4 games i'm working on at the mo : )

 

not using much, if anything in the way of arcade physics. one game using p2 fairly extensively.

[rich]

Physics doesn't matter for this test - what matters is games using different States (the more the better!)

[LeonardoDigital]

@jyapayne: Thats exactly what I did! (right click the file on github and click save as) My mistake, I didnt know.  Now I copied the file the right way and everything works just fine!

Thank you! 

[jyapayne]

@LeonardoDigital: No worries! Now you know!

[qdrj]

Just tested 2.0.3 on my game. After fixing bug with sound loading everything works perfectly (state management also).

 

Unfortunetely I didn't see any perfomance boost with new Pixi. I was hoped for few extra fps But thats fine.

[Joldror]

I just tested in a game with four states. Runs perfectly, just as with 2.0.2.

[ianmcgregor]

State transitions appear to work perfectly well.

 

Arcade physics has issues not present in 2.02, namely the hero's jump does not work any more (setting velocity.y to -1000).
