UGHHH i need help here...
Posted on June 20, 2012 at 20:30
Does anyone know how to set a blend color for an entire tileset? Either for an entire tile set or for an entire tile layer. I can't seem to find a way to do it in GM8.1... If I can't find a way to do so, I may not be able to do a day/night engine like I had hoped :O
Also, Depths 2D is looking shweet. It's a lot of fun doing 2D too, forget 3D Depths mwahahahahahaaa. mmm. 3D was really limiting now that I think of it. //////////// MORE INFORMATION IN THE COMMENTS //////////// also, i thought i'd try ending all codes with draw_set_color(global.rgb) instead of draw_set_color(c_white) hoping it'd effect the tiles aswell and everything else unless otherwise specified at the beginning of the draw code on a per-object basis. the best way i can explain it is, i really need a function like this imaginary one i just made up i wish existed. draw_tile_layer_set_color(layer,color)
+2
Dev - Er, any ideas how to make this work?

i can see that possibly being useful for something else. but i have a variable, global.rgb and its = to draw_set_color(global.redv,global.greenv,global.bluev), these 3 variables change smoothly and independently to fade to different colors that are used for all objects and tiles with the exception of light sources [e.g. sytro's goggles and suit lights, the gun beam, flames, and layers of reflected light and stuff]
also, it doesnt apply to the background so i cant draw a white square over the view in bm_subtract, though thats how ive done it in the past but its a poor solution as i cant draw any light sources in the behind it.
Then you probably want to create backgrounds on the fly.
Another useful function: Quote surface_save(id,fname) Saves a png image of the surface in the given filename. Useful for making screenshots. I asked about the tiles because the only way to change these like you want is with the tile_layer_find() and I think that's a bad idea to go about it but you could make nested for loops and check each grid cell in each layer that needs change...
I'm working on a small example.....
I'd really appreciate that, SpectreNectar. I'm trying to code this version as clean and efficiently as possible using the best techniques to save CPU without losing the special effects.
I think this is the best way to do it:

OH, wow very cool, spectrenectar! i'd love to use this but ill need it to reset every time it tints instead of paiting it on coat after coat, but that's precisely what I was looking for, awesome!
=)
Oh man, we have different coding styles haha having trouble reading what's happening im not sure how to do this, do you know how i could control it every step by a variable? or will that slow it down? looks like its creating an external resource
Sure
But you're right it is creating an external resource as well as changing the draw target so you'd probably want to do it maybe once a second or something. Or you could test it on a poor machine ^^ [step event] Code if(tint_counter>=room_speed) { tint_tileset(NAME OF YOUR BACKGROUND, make_color_rgb(global.redv,global.greenv,global.bluev)); tint_counter=0; } else tint_counter+=1; Remember to set the tint_counter to zero somewhere first..
Come to think of it... if you reuse the same color many times then maybe a system could be devised where several backgrounds are stored in the games memory and then loaded back in when reused. Like you could have a palette of backgrounds with maybe 5 or 10 indices that are course variations of a color scale. And use those when a similar color is requested. If you stored all colors in a list struct then it wouldn't be very expensive. But maybe you wouldn't even need to create any new backgrounds. Maybe you could just rely on your "palette". Depends on the configuration.
that is doing quite well, but i'm having one issue. if i blend it to red, then to green, for example, its not resetting, its layering the tints, red and green making black. how can i have it blend from the original tileset?
Ooh I get what you mean. I'm cooking something up. Also there was a function I didn't think off: background_create_from_surcace()... that means I can improve what I made too.
awesome, youre a life saver, man
Heh I'm glad you think so. I'm having fun making this. Haven't made anything in GM in a while ^^

Thats fantastic, exactly what i need, thanks man ^^
SpectreNectar, It's perfect. problem solved! Can't wait to show you how i've implemented it I'll try to have a video soon!
Hurray - SpectreNectar saves the day!
Great to hear. I fell asleep. Seeing it work would be interesting ^^
C'mon Zac :3 I don't know what to say to stuff like that. |
