I think an object exporter in gm will be the key to making good games that can be sold commercially

@queviltai
the greatest addition I can think of, would be
external loading, a program that reads gml, and converts it to c++
and then creates an exe out of the file
That way, Gm will be able to have a low system req. when your dealing with large amounts of resources, the games made will be playable on mac, AND the games will run at a very low system req, and will be able to run at perfect speeds
compatability for vista and xp for the new gm please?
I intend to change my os bcuz gm just cries while under the vista hammer….and xp is Faster

“The actual GM interface will remain in delphi.” – Has that been confirmed, last I heard was they were considering rewriting it in C++ or C#?

“something more “modern” (think OOXML and the like)” – Good idea, having an open XML-based file format would make version checking software more viable, as opposed to using than the current encrypted format. However, I think it is likely that YYG will want to tie .gmk to Game Maker.

How can what Miky said be un-true? He said “maybe.” What he said was possible.
Also, the merge feature is really not that great. It doesn’t do any conflict resolution and it doesn’t let you selectively import resources.

I know that an exporter would make collaboration easier. I was suggesting maybe there would be a server for version control things in the next version. You don’t need an exporter to have collaboration.

Sure, merge can accomplish basically the same things, but it’s not nearly as convenient.

How would it? You can use merge to do the same thing.

It would be awsome if this was in GM8. It would also make it easyier and faster to make ur games.

It would be a lot more easy to make sequels (to your games) with an obj exporter.

Can’t wait
