Release id #30789 : Timanthes

Starting a new thread so i can answer any questions about the program without polluting the comments thread.
I've already added some trivia-notes about it being a beta version, and not everything working properly yet, but it should be enough for people who just want to make koala/fli/afli/hires pictures :)

So, bring on the complaints :)

Quote: I don't know how exactly Mono works, but it could make producing a Unix version of this quite simple. BTW, since you're basing this on a open-source project (Paint.NET) ya really ought to release yer own source. The MIT/X11 license doesn't force you to do this the way the GPL does (a drawback of the MIT/X11 license IMHO) but it would still be the right thing to do. That way somebody else could try a Linux/Mono/DotGNU compile even if you're not interested.

please have pity on the n00bish emu kiddie responsible for the post above.


I am planning on releasing the source-code, I just have to clean that up somewhat first :)

Also, I will probably set up an internet-based CVS/sourcesafe system so other people can start working on it together with me, if they want

Quote: I managed to get it down (the "red cross" error) quite a lot of times without the ability to save my work (XP - .Net 2.0 here). That happened mostly when painting on several new layers. Or, even if I somehow managed to save my work, I was unable to load it again.

Otherwise, a lovely application! I especially adore the color clash detection! :D


That's the first bug I intend to eliminate... might be a bit hard though... i think it's partially GDI+'s fault not handling changes in windows-focus, seems to be dependend on other programs taking focus for a second and then giving it back (a lot of programs do this... winamp, instant messengers and a LOT more)

Quote: congratulations mirage for a good software. Especially the pixeling algorithms are interesting.

I could not find a move_layer operation there. What I intended to do was emulate working on an ifli picture. one background layer + two fli layers. the second fli layer being 50% transparent and moved one pixel to the right. if there is no move layer operation, then I would like to request this feature so that working on various interlace modes will be (kind of) possible.

regards


Krill also suggested exactly this. His idea was to have a list of $d016 offsets for each line, so you can do even more stuff than just move the entire screen 1 pixel. This will hopefully be in the next version :)

Quote: I specially downloaded the latest .NET Framework to run this and the stupid MSI install file says that it won't work without Framework 1.1. As I don't have another 1.5 hours to get yet another version of m$ bloatware, can anybody help me with a method to install using Framework 2.0. IMHO using MSI deserves points off. A simple ZIP file woulda been better.

My windoze partition has Win2k SP4 on it btw.

I thought people would like an install program better, but i can ofcourse change this. most of the registry settings are reset by the program and not by the installer... next release will be a simple zip file then

Mirage,

As I noticed Paint.net uses an ugly hack, maybe this is complete crap, but might be in connection with the red cross error.

The hack is that child windows cannot be made always on top, so Paint.Net's tool windows are not real child windows of the main one, but they try pretend to be. This doesnt always works, as sometimes you can drag the fake child windows outside the main window, sometimes you can not (and the latter is intended)

Oswald, that's a possibility, i'll keep it in mind when I go bug-hunting :) Just have to find a way to trigger that bug on command, i can't just start painting and wait 5 minutes for something to happen :(

Oh, and everybody else, thanks for the nice comments about the program although it has it's flaws :)

Great! I just discovered Monodevelop has an 'import Visual Studio project' option/wizard, I'm curious to see how (horrible) that'll work out ;)

I was testing Timanthes with my tablet today. Except getting it down a few times (the layer-bug, fix it ASAP Mirage! :D ), I can't express by words how lovely the experience was :D WOW!
