If I wanted to use imagedraw() how would I go about setting up that image to draw?

Code:

menu_bg = imagecreate( "MenuBG.bam", "root:graphics/")
initializeimage(menu_bg)

Dropping this into runonce() gives the error that I'm passing a number into initializeimage() not an image.

it should be imagecreate( "name that doesn't *really* mean anything", "root:graphics/MenuBG.bam")

I think my intention was to make it so you could define images in *.bad files as well as in the script, in which case you'd want a name to reference it by.

(Yes I know this idea is crazy)

MY MONIES, TAKE IT!

Okay well what would I use to actually initialize that image?
using menu_bg tells me I'm using a number instead of an image, and using the name string tells me I'm using a string instead of an image.

I think it's an engine bug. Give me a short while to sort it out and I'll have an update.

edit: Yeah, that was a pretty stupid bug. It'll be up in just a few minutes.

And the update is up! Images should work properly now. Also, that infernal name field is now an optional argument, to hopefully dispel some confusion. As before, Banshee is currently in closed alpha. If you'd like in, shoot me a PM!

1.0.4a
Added "getentitydatatable" and "getdatatable".
Added "setentitysize", "getentitysize", "setentitywidth", "setentityheight", "getentitywidth", "getentityheight".
Added "getimagesize", "getimagewidth", and "getimageheight".
Added a to the scripts directory "badparsing.lua" which parses *.bad files, with some limitations due to inconvenience as a result of Lua's messy OOP. Added "entitybadtemplate.lua" which reads an entity template from a *.bad file. (NOTE: this is still a work in progress.)
Added "getimages", "getfiles", "getsounds", and "gettimers".
Altered "drawimage" response to an uninitialized image: now it automatically attempts to initialize the image before drawing.
Fixed image functionality, now they can be initiated out of *.bad files and referenced by their name.
Fixed image functionality, now the file path is correctly interpreted.
Removed "getcameraoffsetx" and "getcameraoffsety", which were artifacts of an earlier method of handling the camera.
Renamed "initializeimage" to "initimage" and "deinitializeimage" to "freeimage".
Worked just a bit more on the ansiblocks demo. It's still not quite complete, but it's getting there.

such a cute little icon. yes it is, yes it is! d'awwwwww

another absurdly lengthy tetris gif:

[eigenbom]

aw, i don't want to see tetris. do ANSI starcraft instead!

[Kurt]

aw, i don't want to see tetris. do ANSI starcraft instead!

ANSI moonman

[eigenbom]

nah moonman is post-ansi bro...

[DustyDrake]

aw, i don't want to see tetris. do ANSI starcraft instead!

I got a starfox ANSI game, is that close enough?

sorry, nope, not a fan of starfox. but starcraft, i would kill for an RL/ansi version. :D literally, i would kill someone.

make it yourself then lummox. it should be doable.

[pluckyporcupine]

I don't have to make use of it for ANSI Submarine Game but for future reference how much does saving actually save?

Does it save globally saved variables? Variables saved to an entity? Active maps and entities and their positions? Just the map you're on?

[eigenbom]

it's on my list pineapple face

Everything. Except image obects because of a bug, but that's what I'm working to fix right now. Also except for just a couple Lua data types that are an absolute hassle to work with.

Cool. Good to know. What data types?

[Pineapple]

Functions stored as variables, and tables containing themselves. Perhaps someday I'll figure out how to get those, too, but today is not that day.
