A filter defines how to transform the objects it is attached to. The first byte is the filter type. The data following depend on the type. Because each filter is much different, they are defined in separate structures. You can attach a filter to an object using an ActionScript or the PlaceObject3 tag.

The following describes the different filters available since version 8.

struct swf_gradient_record {
	if(f_tag == DefineMorphShape || f_tag == DefineMorphShape2) {
		unsigned char	f_position;
		swf_rgba	f_rgba;
		unsigned char	f_position_morph;
		swf_rgba	f_rgba_morph;
	}
	else if(f_tag == DefineShape3 || f_tag == DefineShape4) {
		unsigned char	f_position;
		swf_rgba	f_rgba;
	}
	else {
		unsigned char	f_position;
		swf_rgb		f_rgb;
	}
};

The first record position should be 0 and the last 255. The intermediate should use the corresponding value depending on their position in the gradient effect.

struct swf_rgba {
	unsigned char		f_red;
	unsigned char		f_green;
	unsigned char		f_blue;
	unsigned char		f_alpha;
};

The color components can be set to any value from 0 (no intensity) to maximum intensity (255).1

• 1. For some PNG images, the red, green and blue colors may need to be multiplied by their alpha channel value before saved. Use the following formula to compute the proper values:

     f_red = orginal red * f_alpha / 255

Today, the only way to go in Space is to use rockets or fast planes (although the latter does not get you as far as needed to reach even the IST.) Either one of those uses a tremendous amount of quite poluting carburant.

In the future, however, we definitively need to find a way to build an elevator. The building of such a structure has not started though. At this time there are two main reasons why: (1) we think we do not have the technology, and (2) what we have thought about can break with the consequences of getting the debris all over Earth and that could be quite dangerous.

Now there ...

Made to Order Software Corporation is proud to announce the 1.1 release of Turn Watcher, the best GM's Initiative Manager!

For those of you who bought the 1 year's worth of updates for Turn Watcher back in 2006, we have really good news: we extended the duration of your privilege to download newer versions until the end of 2007!

Version 1.1 includes an optional initiative window which allows manual entry of initiative rolls for all combatants. Now you can let players make their own initiative rolls!

Use the Spot/Listen/Will roll feature a lot? Now Turn Watcher automatically sorts ...
