--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • * Fixed: bug drawing 32bits graphs with alpha channel in others graphs with alpha channel by means of functions as MAP_XPUT using the effects FX_INVERT, FX_RGBSCALE and FX_TINT
  • * Fixed: compatibility bug in FADE_OFF used in window mode with anyone color depth or fullscreen mode to 16 and 32bits
  • * Fixed: bug when a 32bits graph without alpha channel was copied into another graph with alpha channel using for example the MAP_XXPUT function
  • * Fixed: 8bits fullscreen bug when it were using minor resolutions that 640x480 not supported by the drivers or the gfx cards
  • * Fixed: 16/32bits bug on having completed the internal fade when the DUMP_TYPE = PARTIAL_DUMP and/or RESTORE_TYPE = PARTIAL_RESTORE were using for the first time
  • * Fixed: bug when COLLISION(TYPE mouse) 16 and 32bits was used. It was producing erratic results or was provoking the crash of the program
  • * Fixed: bug in the flags on having done correctly the mirror when it was using angle
  • * Fixed: potential bug of corruption of sound with MIDI/MOD/S3M/XM/IT
  • * Fixed: LOAD_FPG_MAP bug that loads only the first graph of the file
  • * Fixed: SET_RENDER_MODE bug which was not forming completely the rendering chosen type
  • * Fixed: NEW_FPG_MAP bug, that did not allow to create a graph with code 999, giving a runtime error
  • * Fixed: bug that caused the immediate crash of the program with true video drivers when the windows desktop was using 16 bits
  • * Fixed: 'input focus' bug when the program was in a window mode
  • * Fixed: COLLISION(TYPE process) important bug that caused the internal data corruption in the calling process, that was leading to erratic results in the collisions
  • * Fixed: bug in the mouse system that not update the coords until the second frame
  • * Fixed: LOAD_PAL bug that caused a bad palette load of the new MAP format
  • * Fixed: bug that the crash of the program was provoking after a call to RESET_SOUND if it was not possible to form the audio system with the new elected parameters
  • * Fixed: bug that the crash of the program was provoking when it was recorded the EXE file with separated by spaces name (example: "my game"). Now an error messagebox appears and the program closes correctly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • ! Information: optimized blit SOLID MMX 8 and 16bits algorithms, 10% faster or more
  • ! Information: optimized SOFTWARE INVERT effect, over 5% faster or more
  • ! Information: optimized PARTIAL_DUMP/RESTORE system, over 5-10% faster or more
