Map rendering... Displaying 1-16 of 16 total.

Is it possible to render the Map to a specific destination? Like
Render(mybuffer); ? If not, what exactly is the Map rendering to?
--------
I have a renderstring. We'll say it's "R".
Now, I during a HookRetraced function, I changed the renderstring to "1" (carefully removing the R, so as not to do recursive HookRetraces), and call Render(). I then restore the Renderstring to "R" and return from the function.
This in effect draws layer 1 at the HookRetrace layer.
Is this possible?

If I recall, in v2, I tested multi-layer rendering and did so by having the single HookRetrace() something like: ...
if(curr_pass == 0)
{
curr_pass = 1;
// switch rstring to render second pass
// first pass drawing
}
else if(curr_pass == 1)
{
curr_pass = 0; // or 2
// switch rstring back to first pass (or third)
// second pass drawing
}
...
It drew n layers, made first pass, drew next n layers, made second pass, drew remaining n layers, and showed the page.
Basically move the R around to fool verge into calling it multiple times.
Make any sense?

Looks like a way to render something different every frame.
Can't quite understand how this would be useful, but hey. If it works, then maybe my idea will work.

I don't remember if I actually got it to work, but my intention was to do something like this:
Map has 6 layers.
Rstring set via maped as 1,2,R,3,E,4,5,6.
While the map runs, it:
draws 1,2, calls retrace
retrace draws, sets rstring to 1,2,3,E,4,R,5,6
draws 3,4, calls retrace
retrace draws, sets rstring back to 1,2,R,3,E,4,5,6
draws 5,6
shows page, repeats.

Sorry, I went on a long tangent but misunderstood what you were asking. Having proved useless, I now have a question for you: how are you reading and writing the renderstring? I couldn't see any functions for that, though I have a history of missing documented functions in V3.

Vecna did something like that in the v3 Sully packin, didn't he? Its something I've coded into Perceptions but haven't really used yet.

Ok, I didn't edit that last post and apparently I have. Who did that?!

You had an extra space at the end of your post, wasting valuable disk space on the server. So in the 1 second from your having posted it, I learned to haxor, haxored verge-rpg.com, and removed it for you.

It would be a custom renderstring.
myrstring = "XXXRXXX"
*edit the string all I want to
SetRString(myrstring)

There is renderstring editing in my WIP build - as well as a RenderMap(int xwin, int ywin, int destimage) to compliment the normal Render().

That sounds absolutly marvelous! Can't wait for the next version :)

Im pretty far from reaching my original goals but on account of it being way overdue Im going to release a miniWIP as soon as zero fixes some bugs.

Sounds understandable.

El Why not just use 1,2,R,3,E,4,R,5,6 ?
I remember being able to do that in verge2 anyway. You could just put in as many duplicates as you wanted.

Right, how do I get this one to work then? SetRString() isn't a function according to my verge.exe
