New water shaders
If you own A6 professional or A6 commercial you can use the two new, good looking water effects which come with the templates.
fx_water_mirror (A6 professional)
fx_water_env (A6 commercial)
bmap_fill (bitmap_name, bitmap_color(BGR), alpha_value)
Fills a bitmap with any user-defined color and allows you to set its alpha value.
bmap* my_bitmap; // pointer to the bitmap
panel test_pan // a simple definition for a visible panel
{
flags = visible;
}
function color_bitmap()
{
my_bitmap = bmap_createblack(256, 256, 888); // create an empty bitmap of 256x256 pixels
bmap_fill(my_bitmap, vector(0, 255, 255), 80); // fill the bitmap with yellow, alpha = 80
test_pan.bmap = my_bitmap; // use the yellow bitmap for test_pan (show it to the public)
}
on_c = color_bitmap; // press "C" to color the yellow bitmap
Toggle and radio buttons
Toggle and radio buttons can now be used in any panel definition.
var toggled = 0;
bmap on_pcx = <on.pcx>;
bmap off_pcx = <off.pcx>;
panel test_pan
{
button_toggle = 10, 10, on_pcx, off_pcx, off_pcx, null, toggle_button, null, null;
flags = visible;
}
function toggle_button()
{
toggled = 1 - toggled;
}
on_t = toggle_button; // press "T" to toggle the button
