Technical forum / Re: Images distort only in WME

Nothing special about it. Just usual jpg (24bit). I cant get screencap of this screen in wme but it seems that 0,0,0 color is getting transparent for some reason

Are you sure you don't have 0,0,0 set as the transparent colour?   (Check in Frame Properties in SpriteEdit)

This is excellent!  I was worried that there weren't enough examples/documentation for Wintermute but then I found this

Tiny errors I noticed in Chapter 2:

• file test1.script
    global a = 10;
    Game.Msg(a); //prints 10
  
  file test1.script
     global a = a + 1; 
     Game.Msg(a); //prints 11, because the variable is valid for the whole game.

  
  I'm pretty sure you meant the second one to say test2.script
• There are two Syntax Rule no.4's and two no.5's
• At the end of 2.5 Includes, there is a seemingly unrelated snippet of code

And also I had a couple of questions:

• BUG: Don’t use loops inside of the case branches. They don’t work. If you need, write a function (explained later) which will contain the loop. This workaround works.

  
  So that's a bug with the Wintermute engine?  What about using }else if{ instead of a switch, wouldn't that be quicker than writing a function?

• Never initialize your variables in the include files. They will get reinitialized with every inclusion of your script.

  
  Is it a good idea to put your global variables in an include file (e.g. "global myVar;") so that you can get/set the value without having to remembering to write global before it the first time you reference it in each script?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just switched over from SLUDGE to Wintermute, and I must say I'm extremely impressed by it so far Everything I could have asked for seems to be a feature already!

The website for the game I'm currently working on is http://www.dotagame.com
