KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>heya james Bob_the_Hamster Ahoy!KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>bad news - i experienced something of a bug, maybe similar to the problem idontknow had Bob_the_Hamster tries to rememberKFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>if this is a good time, i can describe it Bob_the_Hamster data corruption of some kind, wasn't it? Bob_the_Hamster Sure, go aheadKFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>no data corruption here, but.... -- ok well, i was drawing a medium enemy graphic, and as i usually do, i copied it and pasted a new copy of it in the slot under where i was drawing; i do this at the start of every stage in the drawing so if i don't like it, i can go backKFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>well, at first i was using a pre-existing palette, palette 3 i believe. at some point, i wanted to change a shade, so i used alt-c and alt-v to paste that palette to palette 16. this was BEFORE i made a copy of the enemy sprite (sorry about the chronology, i just remembered this detail)KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>in any case, i back out when finished drawing and realize that, in the "draw medium enemy graphics" screen, the top sprite uses palette 16, where i had changed one of the shades, whereas the bottom one was also set to palette 16 but the shade i had changed was a totally different color. i took a screenshot of this. i backed out, saved (maybe dumb),KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick> went back in, and the wack-a-doo color was now in BOTH of the graphics. in other words, it had somehow overwritten the change i had made to the palette with this random change it had made somehow.KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>i changed the palette color back, backed out, it had still only changed it for one of the graphics, but then i backed out to the main menu, went back in and now it had changed both of them again (but this time to the proper color) Bob_the_Hamster That is very strange! Bob_the_Hamster Was this in callipygous or in a more recent nightly? KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>idontknow said something very similar happened to him and he lost every formation except 0, but in my case i didn't have any other formations besides that one, so unfortunately i can't speak to that part of it :(KFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>it was in a nightly -- 20160430 gfx_direct_x+fb music_sdlFeenicks <irc://irc.esper.net/Feenicks,isnick>Yeah, I just had a similar issue: imported a sprite in, imported another sprite in that had a different palette but put that palette in the same slot as the first one, and when I exited out of the sprite editor both versions of the palette existed at once. Bob_the_Hamster I think TMC will definitely want to know about that, because of the changes he has made to the sprite editor after callipygous released Bob_the_Hamster Perhaps it is a problem with the palette cache (which I unfortunately don't understand very well) Bob_the_Hamster I think the palette cache is stupposed to be disabled (or frequently re-loaded?) in the sprite editor, but it might not be doing that correctly in nightyliesKFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>yeah, "both versions of the palette existed at once" is the shorter way to describe itKFHarlock <irc://irc.esper.net/KFHarlock,isnick>unfortunately i missed tmc when he came in last night Bob_the_Hamster I'll copy-paste this to the mailing list
