    A menu for adding element effects. (somehow...don't know how)

     

    Like this:

     

    |GLOW||BLUR||SPKL||SAND||HOTM||FIRE||DARK||CUST||ERAS|

     

    glow = spark glow

    blur = liquid effect

    spkl = sparkly

    sand = sand effect for non-powders

    hotm = hot metal glow

    fire = fire glow...element glows a similar color to itself

    cust = some sort of custom effects, like specific glow color

    dark = darkens glowing elements or prevents them from glowing

    eras = ...-_-

     

    Some can be mixed and opposites will erase each other.

     

    P.S. Can you please add hexidecimal input to the paint creator.

     I like the hexadecimal idea!

    Hexadecimal isn't really worth the trouble if you can disassemble it quickly enough in your mind.

    And the element effects are each controlled by their graphics function, precisely their pixel_mode, so to do that we'd need to rewrite it so that deco menu also has a pixel mode. This has a problem of making saves broken again. :D

    O.K. then embed into the elements themsevles. There's already options for controlling effects generally, this would be to set them for each part seperately.

    This doesn't sound like it'd be hard to do, it'd just be another subroutine in graphics, but isn't being able to modify colors good enough? o.o Sparking brick and glare water doesn't sound that palletable honestly.

    Hexadecimal is useful when you're partialy colour blind.

    i like the idea....if it isn't too hard to add it would please some users and would be better in the end, just add another element category...although it would be a bit op. And we already have erase...-_-

    you're*
    if you're color blind, you don't have a valid concept of correct colors, means hexadecimal won't work for you, however if you weren't born with color blindness (is it even possible?), ...
