MMF2: Color Replace Test - Exports Comparison

This was just one of the many other reasons I stopped working on Mega Man engines in MMF2. While not one of the major issues, it's still affects the way I design a game using this software.

I'm just comparing the FPS rates of using Color Replace feature of MMF2 games when exporting as an application .EXE, and as a flash .SWF file. There seems to be no significant slowdowns as an application .EXE file.

Unfortunately, using color replace feature in flash slows down the game a bit. I don't know why. I don't know any other alternatives for ppl who play games under flash. :-/

According to Francois of the Clickteam staff, "Replace color in Flash is a slow operation. There is nothing really that can be done, except avoid replace color at every loop."

As for a Mega Man game, replacing a color just once for the weapon probably wouldn't be a big deal. But when you need an effect for something like Mega Man's mega buster charge ability, well it seems like there's going to be a slowdown issue.

What!? I thought you were just taking a break from coding or something! D:

Only other way is the to use a shaders, but as far as I know, Flash doesn't support shaders.

Take a look at the Sonic Worlds Engine, a user made a work-around for it, You can find it in the Sonic Fangames Forums. Then, look at the super sonic code.

why not just use separate sprites for each color as opposed to changing the sprites you have

Looks like the .exe file can handle it significantly better than the .swf file.
