Fix for temporary bug in Sprite Tool BF

Added a function in GFX Wizzard to create PB and BF sprites with up to ten selectable invisible colors simultaneously

This new feature works with all Sprite outputs

Hey walbus,

first I want to say that BF looks really amazing. I've read quiet often about it now and the screenshots are really awesome.
But haven't tested it out, yet. I wanted to know if it's fast enough for gamedevelopment, as I would use a lot of effects in
it and for now I am sticked to my own GFX-Code. But if BF is really fast and (haven't read about it yet) can support some
kind of "shaders" (more like real-time Black&White or Flickering or sth like that) I would choose to switch. As it is your
project - maybe you are a little bit more involved than I am - Could you please tell me a little bit about it?
And again: Really amazing project, thanks for sharing it with us

Greetings,
Kirito

Hi Kirito, many thanks for your friendly words

Yes, surely you can use BF for games
Have a look at the demo codes, they show many different solutions for many problems
BF is speed optimized, it is not slow

The solution is simply to use everything in the right place at the right time, then you will have a lot of fun with it.

If you have problems or want to know something just write
Usually there is a simple solution

Main update BF Sprite Tool :

Fix for a temporary bug, snipping partitions, from very large GIF - Sprite Tool
Massive speed up for editing and snipping very large GIF - Sprite Tool
Added interactive GIF delay handling - Sprite tool

The Sprite Tool has now a very nice and very easy on demand solution for fastest GIF delay handling and changing
I think, the best solution ever

Thank you for answering, I will give BF definitely a try

What's new?

Package restructured
Codes removed and renamed
Text errors fixed
Demo codes optimized and adapted
Image /Sheet content optimized and improved
Fix for FloodFill
Main sheet function enhanced for outputall images with transparence

Thank you for this information.

Amazing screenshots with an endless list of (still growing) possibilities. Great work, Werner!

I just need to take the time to include latest GFX wizard module into my project (was too lazy recently, as the BucketFill include worked well for my purposes, and so I concentrated on other stuff...)

Keep on and thank you for this contribution to the PB community

Hi Andre
Many thanks for your friendly Words
Just now i have uploaded a new version with a very enhanced ImageGadget

You can fast replace the old BF with the new Wizzard BF
It's full compatible
One or two functions you use, are renamed
So you get a hint from the compiler, function not found
But, you can fast replace with the new names, the names are very similar
In the new demo codes for the respective function you can see these changes immediately
They are the same demo codes as in the old BF, but with the new syntax
Also i can help, and we can change to the new Wizzard in minutes

Best Regards Werner

Codes updated d24 m04 y2018

Functions "ImageGadget_BF" and "ChangeImageGadget_BF" added

A new demo code named "ImageGadget_BF.pb" you found in the GFX_Wizzard_BF download packet
This demo code generates the output that you see here in the posting as a ScreenShot

This new functions can complete replace the PB ImageGadget function

Images are automatically proportionally fitted and centered - and many more
This new function greatly simplifies the precise output of images in a GUI
The ImageGadget_BF does not change its size by itself and the images are inserted perfectly

It's a very powerfull new function and can create simplest easy image outputs

ImageGadget_BF - Many abilities- simplest for using

I just did the switch from the old BucketFill to the new GFX_Wizzard_BF include this evening.
And like written above, in my case it was simple enough: only one command name need to be changed at three places and all worked (again) very well. Thank you very much, Werner!

Here is an example of my project using code from the 'Rotated_Images as_Sprites_on canvas_with_edge smoothing_and_Progressbar_EX.pb' example code in the current GFX Wizard module:

great code and great coder thank you for sharing...

Hi Andre
Yep, this look very cool.
The rotated images with the edge smoothing are perfect.
I'm very glad you're happy with BF.

Hi CELTIC88
Many thanks for your friendly Words.
You are a great asset to the forum.
I think we'll see many cool codes from you in the future.

Best regards Werner
