Hi all,

Just to let you know that Patch 4.1 was released onto DBDN today. It fixes a number of things (it's a pure service release) including the "ATI" bug. DBDN'ers get to test it out but if all goes well we'll officially release it next week.

Cheers,

Rich

My main problem with 4.1 was that it gave me bugs, that, well we're there before. Things such as "object does not exist" in places where there are no commands that refer to objects!

This sort of bug can't come out of nowhere!

well Rich has mentioned that if you make a useful tutorial then you can barder it for DBDN time - sounds like a good trade to me
so perhaps ya'll could think up some useful tutorials suchas creating morphing objects, or a simple paint program

A simple paint program would be good but as we all know the flood fill is a problem! LOL

Anyone want a colouring book tutorial?

My hunch is no, I suspect 4.1 will open resolve whatever issues there are with gfx cards.

hey Spec, what kind of flood fill do you want? - because you could setup an array which lists all of the pixels of a colour which are connected ... that way when you flood fill one pixel you can just run through the array and fill ALL of the pixels that were already found for you. just an idea and it would take up a bit more memory

[edit-] a silly question but you are using pixel locking arn't you? because thats one hell of alot faster recieving and sending pixel data.

Spec>>> I wrote a flood-fill routine in DB-Pro AGES ago, and it has since been well optimised (using lock pixels and things) - all code can be found on the DBDN code-base

OH NO! My DBDN account has expired and I find myself without money to renew :-( - I'm LOST!!!!
