Re: Share your "Secret Sauce" - what are your favorite setti

Oh, well, I totally forgot about those...funny.
Anyway, new version is up!
BUT it will remain BINARY for now, so no "English readable settings" just yet!

And a tiny advice about communicating with programmers as a non-programmer: Don't ever, EVER say anything is "Easy"! ;) :ugeek:

Oh, and DITHER and HIGH QUALITY I leave out of the settings, because they are not essential to the desired painting process and are really up to the artist. I really don't think they should be overwritten.

nice nice !
thanks for all changes. thanks for several fixing.
now we have general style saving to secret text!
we have a multi-loader for "different brushes even with saved colors" to one file
and when it contain layer data , "custom styles" may be similar style & brush in ps, maybe.
safe & repeatable tests... yes,not too easy but very useful and helpful : ) not too easy but i and you believe : )

about dither and HQ, you right...
i dont know what is in your mind and what happen in future of verve but "all numbers" means same state, means same digit style.
my note about save all important settings and numbers (for prevent lost some numbers) ... yes, preview toggles not need in 99% .

By the way, you can file-associate the .vrs with Verve so that you can start Verve with such a "preset" so to say!
That seems like a nice touch. :)

gt: With some testing I realized that some or all of their settings should be optional. It certainly is a more complete version of this problem will be solved.
The first time I was wrong and I just saved configuration file and forgot layer. But today both to the store and got along well together and repeated. During this period, more safely, and am testing the initiative you took a lot of profit. T*

Re: Share your "Secret Sauce" - what are your favorite setti

Hey Taron,
that's amazing! I was just currios how others were using the brush settings and bam! you extented your App to support saving the settings to files. Fantastic! :ob

I don't know if this is the right place and it might be a little to technical but since you are saving out binary files and the first voices came up to have a human readable format what do you think about the JSON Format.

INI-Files were the 80's, XML was 90's 2000ish and today is JSON.

JSON stands for Javascript Object Notation. http://json.org/ ,[url] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON
[/url]
It is lightweight, human readable (almost), and web compatible. So I could think of a download section on the forum, etc.

structure is as following:

{
string: 'abc',
number: 1.0,
boolean: true,
object: {
field: null,
morestuff: "blablabla"
},
array: [1,2,3]
}

so you basically have a list of brushes with it's properties. Don't know your internal structure, tho.


brushes:[
{
id: 1,
name: "brush 1",
setting1: "value",
}]


structure is flexible and could be adjusted to your needs.

I think the main point of interest for you could be how the hell can I transfer this stuff into my internal API :ugeek:

I am still not sure what you are using internally but I found a post on BlitzBasic Portal which has an example of JSON reader/writer implementation.
http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=2066

Don't get me ... this is just an idea inspired by your fast response ...

So what do you think ... if you like to we can discuss further offline...

you know just an Idea... since you set the ball rolling ...
But anyways fantastic work! Keep it up ... :bow:

Re: Share your "Secret Sauce" - what are your favorite setti

Oh no, why is it people want to alter settings, if you can just use the program itself???
Anyway, since all of this is temporary and my plan is to actually make a decent interface once I get the chance, I'm not too worried about writing some elaborate settings file format, dear goodness me. But, who knows... one of these days!
Thanks for digging that up, though! :ugeek: :lol:
