RGSS Questions and Answers

[Ryex]

wow, this will probably help us a lot! thanks for that Metalero!

You probably just saved me an hour of work or so. xD

EDIT: I just looked at the code and I can see that there is some RGB-HSL conversion going on. I was already expecting something like this because of the saturation effect that the gray parameter has. Now I don't have to experiment with the formula and compare the results with RMXP.

What is the proper formula for the calculation of the new color value when using Bitmap#blt when any kind of opacity or alpha blending is involved?

Since we' switching to pixel shaders for some of the things, we can actually emulate RMXP's Bitmap#blt if we have the formula.

I have one that I require answered quickly.

What does Graphics#frame_reset do?

[Ryex]

I have no idea, nor do I have any idea how to test it...

the help file says

Resets the screen refresh timing. After a time-consuming process, call this method to prevent extreme frame skips.

I'm not sure what that means. or how a function could prevent frame skips

[ForeverZer0]

Likely need to force the game to lag while keeping an eye on the frame count.
I imagine its a worthless method without function. It would keep in style with Enterbrain.

I'll test a bit and see if I can figure something out.

It's possible that Graphics#update doesn't do frame syncing after Graphics#freeze has been called since there is no rendering going on anyway. ARC always does frame syncing so Graphics#frame_reset probably becomes useless.
