Apollyon's Magical Mini-Patch

[Apollyon]

Yes, that I do know about, but I don't really consider it a big deal.

[Inoculator9]

Would you like me to add this to Dune Editing Apollyon?

[Apollyon]

Hmm, not yet. I've still got things left to iron out.

[Warskum]

GJ ap0, gotta love black, but I did remove UI map cuz I didnt like the zoom thingie, u cant c anything if u zoom to much and that happened to me during a fight and believe me that messes the fight up.

[Apollyon]

Lol, I'll fix that for the next version. :P

very nice job ap. I like the patch a lot. One question: Are all of the features included in the patch only able to work in skirmish/online games. Like can you zoom in and out farther on campaigns? I could always just try it and see but i'll ask you instead. ;D

[Warskum]

Wenn i pick black then my name disaooears also wenn some1 in my game pics black his name disappears 2(duno about white yet)

[Apollyon]

The features work in campaign as well, yes.

And warskum, I know about that bug, but I'm not sure if it can be fixed as the game considers black to be transparent when not in-game. :-

[Warskum]

Np, I can live with that ;) just keep up the good work :D

[Timenn]

I guess it is hard-coded that black is transparent. Just look at the House logo tga-files. Their background is black, and they appear to have a transparent back-ground in the game.

[Gobalopper]

Why not make it one RGB value off of black?

[Apollyon]

I did, lol. And yet it still didn't show up. I'll probably change it to very dark grey to see if that works (10,10,10 or something).

[Timenn]

Maybe it uses only 256 colors or something like that.

Then you must try a higher number then that (I don't know really how the 256 color system works, since 8 bits divided by 3 can't be done. (Like 3 bytes / 3 can))

[Apollyon]

Version 5 uploaded, check the first attachment.

Quick question:

Do you plan to modify the ArtIni.txt file in any future versions of the mini patch? Or will it remain the same all the time, even though it's still bundled in the upgrades/new versions?

[Apollyon]

Unless I find a way of fixing the Black name bug, then it will remain the same, yes. So you can keep your icons easily ;).

[Kyle]

ok, problem...You know how with the patch it tends to skip over some numbers when setting money level...most of the time i don't mind that but today when i wanted to play a ladder game i found out 6000 happens to be one of those lucky numbers eliminated due to the patch. If you could fix this for the next version of the patch, i would greatly appreciate it...Thanks.

-Kyle McFly ;D

[Apollyon]

Sure, I'll fix it tomorrow.

[Apollyon]

Here are both the mini patch and the ai patch, and if Inoc, you could add this to DE? Thanks.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Gobalopper]

You should be able to upload the files yourself Apollyon. Anyone with Editing Team has access to that, at least they should.

[Apollyon]

I never really understood about that.  :-

Maybe I should take the time to learn how.

[Inoculator9]

Well, no matter, I just added them myself. I'll make a News post in a sec.

[Apollyon]

Cheers! I knew ignorance would win through in the end!  ;)
