Title: Is this something that could be added to the Charas-project?
Post by: I_AM_A_PERSON on March 02, 2007, 12:50:37 AM

Could (whoever takes care of the online program-thingy) add like a color slider to pick a different color for a sprite/piece (i.e. the default sprite/piece color is red, I wanna make it blue, so I slide the cursor to the blue part of the bar)? If your not sure what I'm getting at, I could (try) to explain it further.

We don't have access to the code and cannot add any feature quite like that right now. Sorry. :(

It's ok, but how could you not have access to the source code? Are you just a mod?

Yes, he is, but it's a complicated and rather frusterating situation right now.

It's a good suggestion though. If we ever do an overhaul I'll make sure that it is remembered.

A better summary of conditions:

The only person with access to the site code is the site owner, Alex. Alex is more or less constantly busy with real life and only pops in during an emergency.

Everyone else is just a mod with varying degrees of access to control panels, but not the actual code. We can upload resources, add a generator, and tweak generator settings, but we can't add or remove anything.

Add a generator? Anyways, isn't that adding something?

Adding a generator is part of the control panel part. It was a built in feature that was intended for generator uploaders. Adding in new code that adds new functionality is another thing entirely.

When I add a generator, it falls under the same rules as the other generators. It can only handle 8-bit images, I have to assign a size, it can only have such and such layers, etc. All the generators are standard "generator" objects with some customization that allows them to be different. Adding in a new feature requires code access, though.

Just because they both add something doesn';t mean you add them in the same way. :P
