Hi! I've recently got MMF! Yay!

I thought that I could create 9999 active objects in MMF...is it just our
computer or is 299 active objects max?

Also it even lags in fullscreen. That GOTTA be our computer.

That's all help I need now. Help = thx.

Do you have MMF 1.5? They were supposed to have taken out the item limits in that version. I take it you jumped right in and put the program to the test?

Full screen lag often occurs for me when I have the window size resolution big and stretch it to full screen. When I have the window resolution set to something like 320x200 it runs very smooth compared to 1028x768. Not that I've tried lately with my recent computer upgrades! But you might be able to smooth things up if you mess around with some of the game preferences, especially with the visual catagories.

Go to Frame Properties and set the maximum objects at runtime to something higher like 3000. Like, right-click on the frame in the project explorer, go to Properties, then go to maximum objects at runtime from there.

Even so, it's 300 not 299, as you need to count the counter as well

Thx = plz.

For the slow fullscreen, uncheck "resize to fill screen" and check "change resolution"

I can't seem find my MMF1.2 right now, only my MMF 1.5 box, but didn't Clickteam email you the serial number with your order receipt? I know you get it on a sticker on the box with MMF1.5, but I think with 1.2 they just emailed it you.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN STICKER THE DAMN THING ONTO THE BOX! How the friggin hell was I supposed to know the serial had any use when I bought 1.0? Last time I'm buying anything off the internet.

But, to assist Astral_86...
The limit's at 10000, I think, but the more active objects you create, the slower it runs. It's by default 300 or so, so you have to adjust it like Shen said.

And if you wanna speed it up, tick Use DirectX and/or Machine-Independent speed under the Run-Time properties. Use a lower color resolution. And on some cases, ticking the Use VRAM thing speeds it up too.

The run-time properties are different, depending on how the graphics are in your game, what ink effects and amount of objects you use, etc. I wrote an article ages ago about all that bollocks... http://create-games.com/article.asp?id=626

ID registration code stickied to the box, no. Did you check your CD cases? Hopefully you didn't toss away the original CD case for two separate ones.

I just got MMF 1.5, and the serial was printed out (in small letters) on a sheet of paper that was folded together...and the envelope it was posted in had my address hand written....seems pretty amateurish all in all

i dont see why anyone would want to use 10000 objects at a time anyways, it would slow down the computer stacks.

If you're doing real-time particles or are using tile-based lighting effects, the actives can add up pretty quickly...

I tested my computer with 10000 animating 32x32 active objects, and it worked fine.
I also tested my computer with 50% semi-transparent animating 32x32 active objects, and it worked fine until 600.

Interesting thing though, after enabling Direct X for the semi-transparent test, by 80 objects it lagged equivelent to 1120 with DX off.

Anyone else getting that too?

It's a known problem. Turn off DirectX if you are using semitransparencies.
