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 :) |

jailbird: glad you liked it :) (and it's not a layer bug... it's a WM_PAINT message that's screwing everything up... close to nailing down that bug)
Care to post some of your experimental wacom pictures? :)
Oh, btw... i did some wacom pictures myself and i was constantly changing colours with the shortcut-keys (0-9, a-f) and switching from brush to pen ('.', p)... maybe useful for you aswell :)
I also noticed i will have to program shortcut-keys for dithered/non-dithered brushes and a couple of more things... all on my list for version 2.4 |

Another bit of info i forgot to mention... when using the rectangular selection tool, if you press shift it will constrain to a 320x200 ratio... after that you can resize more easily to a 320x200 picture for converting (it'll be off by 1 pixel sometimes, but you can switch off the constrain ratio checkbox when you're in the resize dialog box and it'll still convert to 320x200)
There's probably loads more I forgot to mention in the help files, so i'll just keep updating those files and post updates here :)
Edit: when you're in double pixel restrict mode, you'll have to use the 25% dither brush to act as a 50% dither brush (curious as to why nobody has mentioned this yet ;) |

Another update...
When you're using a pattern brush with one solid c64 colour and one transparent colour you can switch the behaviour of the transparent colour with the 'toggle alpha colour' button on the toolbar... it will either use the pixels that are on the layer you're painting on or paint them transparent (and thus showing the background colour)
toggle alpha blending on:

toggle alpha blending off:

To post my experiental pictures? I care, but I don't dare ;)
No, actually I was really just playing - got my tablet few days ago, so I didn't saved anything, except for some outlines I'd like to use in the future. I promise I'll show you if I make something worth to share. :D |

Can anybody ZIP up a pre-installed copy for me or tell me how to make the installer work with only .NET 2.0 (no 1.1) installed? I still want to try this program...

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

Tried to make my Timanthes images work on Sanders install yesterday, and it didn't work at all. The program did run, both running his install aswell as the one I have installed on my MMC-card, although none of them wanted to recognize the Timanthes file.
Any explanations for this strange behaviour? I'm running the version prior to the official release at home, since the installer refuses to acknowledge that Dotnet is installed, and thus refuses to install itself. |

2Flower: Sander's system is just corrupt. Kill it.
Seriously, I noticed that after the .net installation I had a new user, so maybe it has something to do with rights? Just throwing shit against a wall here, ofcourse .. |

madcrow/2flower:
The download link now points to a non-installer version, hope that works :)
2flower: keep the old version, save your old images as .bmp files and import those into the new version and then turn them into proper restricted images again |

Gimme source!
I really need to look at the code and complain about 'non-ISO' stuff, just to feel good about myself :)

I recently made my first experience with timanthes an i was very impressed. but soon i got stuck at the first problem,
that when i use a sprite layer it always turns ferrari red.
this color indicates clashes and i dont't understand how a sprite layer with a single color can show clashes?
What did i do wrong?
I made a new layer, than turned on the restricted button and then i choosed sprite layer single color.
