Old Bugs (1.x/2.x) / Re: Drawing Colors not working?

« on: April 28, 2011, 10:06:59 pm »

Fixed. One method required a 4-byte uint for the color, so I applied a bitmask to "restore" the original color for that one method.

(This bug only happens when calling fillRect with a normal blendmode and 100% opacity.)

...and some others which have since apparently fallen into obscurity (I have no idea if these will ever get back on their feet). The following appear to have done just that.

I can assure you that I haven't forgotten about this, and definitely plan to continue development.

Yeah, I get the technical aspect (maybe it doesn't seem like that from my last post.. I realize that I referred to each of the uint's digits as bits.. >_< ). I was just thinking, should the bitmask be applied immediately when the color is set, or for each drawing operation? If we never actually use the alpha component of the color, it would make sense to apply the bitmask right away.

It seems that this happens because colors are stored as 8 bits, while Graphics:beginFill() should be passed a 6 bit color. What would be the best way to fix this? It seems that opacity is generally applied through color transforms, so is there a need for the extra two bits (the alpha)?

edit:
a post I found on the issue.

Unless the preview code puts spaces where it shouldn't (such as in the middle of an increment sign "+ +"), I think it should work.

The wait time goes on the line after the functions closing curly brace. Replace thousandthsOfSecondsToWait with a var or number. Use "1000 * (...)" to work with seconds, just like the doAfter block.

I found two fonts called "Handwriting," both uploaded by Ceric. I can see them, but when I view their page, they appear to be private.

Hm.. I did this recently, but it's in code.

Code: [Select]

var t:TimedTask = new TimedTask
(
function(timeTask:TimedTask):void
{
//code to process goes here
},
thousandthsOfSecondsToWait,
false
);
(FlxG.state as GameState).addTask(t);

Just downloaded the latest version and installed for the first time.

I was presented the Sign In screen when I first opened sw, and I entered in my username/password. I couldn't access StencylForge, so I tried opening the Sign In dialog from the File menu. When I try to open the dialog, this appears in the console.

It seems like I've been waiting forever to play this. The wait was worth it though. Just played through to the end of the demo, and it was fantastic. I'm just itching to keep on exploring...

I have used it, but I usually have the default image editor set to MS Paint, unless I need to deal with transparency.

Exactly as LH said. Take a code block, and type "return null;" without the quotes.
