Bat,
Thanks for the offet, but I have discovered that FMOD's support for MIDI, while consistent cross-platform, doesn't sound as nice as it should on high-end sound cards, so I'm thinking most of the music library will probably have to be in MOD or MP3 format, preferrably MOD format (in which I include whatever format FastTracker II uses, I forget the extension). Anybody got any good freely distributable mods they want to share?
Orion Pax,
Yay, you're still here! I guess I kind of neglected looking into the possibility of runtime adjustment of alpha/HSV values. I added it to the list of things to investigate, but don't count on it being available. I'll try and let you know soon so you know whether you need to make those adjustments in the graphic sheet or not. BTW, if you want the recently added colorwheel rotation (hue remapping) and Add Noise features in the graphic sheet editor, let me know and I can make another pre-alpha release with those in it.
It should be possible to make an animated tile where each frame consists of multiple "sub-frames". Frames are compounded by setting the frame delay to 0. If you add a number of frames with a delay of 0, then add a frame with a delay of 1, then add some more with a delay of zero you should end up with an animated tile consisting of 2 "compound frames". Let me know if this doesn't work. It's designed to and needs to be fixed if it doesn't.
