Particle Spray Extension w/ And effects.

Particle Spray Extension w/ And effects.

And effects are only decent if you use colors wich are power of two - 1

[nightofgrim]

i found this example on the click team forum and thought i would share it:

Actually, insn't OR the one that lights stuff?

Behold! The AND/OR safe colors pallete:

Thanks to Damizean for the info about power of 2 colors. I never knew that.

Edit: If you're on IE, you'll have to copy and paste the image to get the colors (don't print screen it), because IE distorts the colors of PNG's)

I'm not sure about OR

but with ADD, it takes the value of each RGB and adds it to the background, so if you take a color like, 025,025,025... it will add 25 to each color behind it, increasing the lightness. If you have pixels of 255,255,255 they will just appear plain white. If you have 0,0,0 pixels, then the background will not change at all.

Yeah, but MMF can't do ADD. Only COPY, AND, OR, XOR, NOT and Alpha.

It will do a binary AND operation... so if the background is 255, 255, 255 and the foreground is 4, 4, 4... it will be like

[COLOR="Red"]00000[/COLOR][COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]00[/COLOR]
  AND
[COLOR="Lime"]11111111[/COLOR]
   =
[COLOR="Red"]00000[/COLOR][COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]00[/COLOR]

For each color channel... So the effect is darkening it (but's a really cheap darkening effect).

[nightofgrim]

mmf2 can, it can also do subtract

[Damizean]

It's basically masking each color channel of the background, meaning that you can have it to show only the channels you want, and with that intensity.
