hi, a new release of Caspaint will be available soon, this version corrects some problems that particularly anoyed me, such as the fact that it is so easy to crash... now when caspaint crashes or you exit without using the clear exit feature caspaint will ask you if you want to try to recover the picture you were working on, including all layers and their information. this wont always work but it should about 90% of the time.

also there are a few fixes in the shapes catagory, they now allow you to specify a point on the screen by taping or by manually entering the point.

fixed a bug in storing pictures.

the shift filter will now work properly.

is there anything else anyone would like to see in the next version?

[Brazzucko]

How can I whiteout a CP300 can run your program?

The emulator runs it?

[CrimsonCasio]

umm, my version does but i doubt yours will

when casio releases the new version of the manager you can use it.

[Brazzucko]

That manager Is a program like the FA-123?

Or is the emulator?

[CrimsonCasio]

the manager is the emulator and the transfer progam (fa-123).

[Brazzucko]

The transfer program of the CP300 is the same for the AFX/CFX?

[CrimsonCasio]

no, the Classpad manager functions as a emulator and a transfer program

[Brazzucko]

Can you "give-me" the link to donwload it.... please....

[CrimsonCasio]

the manager or the current caspaint version?

A new version of CasPaint will be available tonight! (about 10 hours), I have a working release with tons of new features that make CasPaint better and easyer to use, and I'm pulling a microsoft on this one and issuing a critical update warning: this version of CasPaint is the most stable ever, it is imparative you upgrade to this version so that you will not be at risk of losing your work, It also fixes a major problem in the PSD saving system (you couldn't save over an old PSD).

New features list:

• Added Shape: Circle
  
• Fixed Filter: Shift - lets you move a selection from one place to another
  
• Slight increase in pen speed
  
• AUTO RECOVERY: if CasPaint crashes for any reason (or if you break it) CasPaint will ask you if you want to recover the picture you were working on, compleat with layer formatting and everything. rarely the data will have been corupted and it will not be recoverable (and CasPaint will crash) and you will lose you data, future versions will have a scandisc function to eliminate this problem.
  
• Every Shape can be placed by pen or x,y coordinates
  
• circles have an option to be filled or not
  
• PSD's are fully functional and optimised
  
• A new title screen to demonstrate the new features

I will post again with a link once its finished, if you havent tried out CasPaint before then now would be a good time!

Future Ideas: (90% sure all will work)
-sprite maker ([Evil Grin]you will have to wait and see this one[/Evil Grin])
-Cut/Copy/Paste (as soon as I perfect CGF)
-wind blur filter
-Font Files
-Animations
-smart erase (hmm...)
- mirror filter (flips image)

[Lovecasio]

Where can I download your new software, CrimSon ?

[CrimsonCasio]

sorry, I havent been able to upload it yet

it will be up early tomarrow at the latest. as soon as its up I will post a link in this topic.

[CrimsonCasio]

its up now, sorry for the delay: www.crimsoncasio.earthforge.com/C3Programs.php

[betoe]

The wait was good because the program is great. With this program i leart to upload files to the CP (thanks to crimson), but i had a great error and i was about 10 minutes (bad CasPM file).

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, that CasPM is for running CasPaint on the manager. its very behind the current version and I dont really intend to update it since the manager will be able to run the normal CasPaint once its updated by casio.

[Lovecasio]

Your program is great, Crimson. That will be better if pen mode faster.
One question, where did you develope your software? On the classpad or other software?
And, Can you tell me what preposition : add sth.......sth
subtract sth.........sth
because I my English class tomorow will be about mathematics, and I dont know how to fill. Thanks

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, the pen mode is still in the works...
I made it on my classpad, glad you like it.

do you mean "(num) plus (num)" and "(num) minus (num)"?

[Lovecasio]

The teacher ask us to fill in the blank with the correct preposition
Ex: ask sb to do sth
Interested in
like this.

[CrimsonCasio]

oh:
Add something to something
Subtract something from something

if that what you mean?

[CrimsonCasio]

just anouncing that you can now download the code for CasPaint off my site, I rigged a counter to it so that I can see how many people want it without distributing it manually.

[Lovecasio]

Thanks for helping me, CrimSon.

[betoe]

I think that it would be good that before the download, the user should fill a download request (optionally, with user's e-mail etc...) to know some of the new users of your program, but maybe it will be useless because the majority of this users will be UCN members.

[CrimsonCasio]

wow, I never expected this big a response, but the caspaint source code has been downloaded 16 times in the last 2 days.

[betoe]

All the classpad (like me) users are needful for updates and cool programs. Sometimes i use my calculators as a toy, like a gameboy etc... When I have a good idea to make a program, i use my calculators by hours and hours.

[Syafhig]

Anyone have an idea why my caspaint ain't working. Every time i start it and name a layer, there appears some fkin error with locked etc. stuff

[CrimsonCasio]

your probably naming it incorrectly, you cant use any ClassPad reserved words or any used by CasPaint, try putting a L in front of the name (8 letters only). the only case where that would cause an error will be "Ln".

if that doesnt work tell me and i'll check the code (also make sure you have the latest version: 3.4 Pro)

Yes, tried to name it LAYER etc., but it only worked once. Afterwards I always got the errormessage.
(i have the newest version)

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm not sure if this will work, but try running the program clrexit, that may clear up the problem.

also make sure you have caspaint in its own folder (CasPaint), if you have it anywhere else there is no telling what might happen.

if that doesnt work try going into the variable manager and deleating any non program variables in the CasPaint folder (except "caspaint", "firstrun", and "Help"), they should all be safely deleatable.

[CrimsonCasio]

Yippie! my best friend got his classpad today! hes very good with graphics so I'm hoping to add his expertise to CasPaint

[CrimsonCasio]

well, I was kinda planning on continuing this project in C, but since I still have no word on that and with the discovery of the statgraph thing I'll be issuing a new, stdlib compliant, version of CasPaint as soon as possible. this verson will include the (hopefully) revolutionary Sprite Maker that I've been planning, also hopefully the copy/paste feature.

[betoe]

well, I was kinda planning on continuing this project in C

In C for the CP??

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, that was the plan, but I still dont know when the addin installer will be available (all my contacts are on vacation right now), so at least one more version will be released in basic. this version will have the sprite maker for sure, I'm already 1/5 done with it.

[betoe]

Oh my god i want that!! Also i'm not a great C programmer, but the programs work good (with a lot of code generally ). Brian isn't on vacations, he reply me an e-mail the Monday. You know all saltire i think , TELL ME WHEN THAT SOFTWARWE WILL BE AVAILABLE!! J/K.

[CrimsonCasio]

I havent tallked to brian yet, but my casio contact e-mailed me recently to tell me she is back and going back to work soon, I sent them a few new bugs (i forgot to post them, but i will). I'll see what i can find out about the add-ins, i have people IMing me all the time now

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, I have compleated the beta version of the sprite maker, it seems to be working fine and I like how it works. basically you can create "objects" and save/load them then you can insert them into a CasPaint layer and move them around. unlike PSDs they are a single data item, a 2 celled list that contains 2 strings (that contain lists of points), I use StatGraph to draw them very fast so unless you have a really big object you wont be able to tell its a bunch of connecting lines.

right now the interface for sprites is a bit slow, but I hope to speed things up as I work on it

the new version will be available tomarrow (will post)

[CrimsonCasio]

its out! CasPaint 3.6 Pro with SpriteMaker 1.0 has been officially released. everyone should upgrade to this version, I need feedback on the Sprite Maker as I intend to issue a few updates for it over the next few weeks.

also, I know that the next update of CasPaint (ASAP) will be compleatly stdlib reliant (right now only the Sprite Maker requires it), I'll be using the stdlib functions to eliminate the remaining bugs as well as the problem some people have been having with CasPaint being in the wrong folder.

get the latest version off my site!
