Looked at your bmp and everything appeared good to me right except it lacked an alpha channel on the second one.

I tried to do a step by step explication for your second image to work. I downloaded the latest Gimp version on Windows to be sure using the same name for the menu (the ubuntu 12.04 version I use is slightly outdated) and.... just discovered the same issue as you.

Crawling on the web, found a lot of complaints with the latest versions of Gimp and BMP. Even with the new "compatibility mode" checkbox it didn't worked .

So I will have to look in it what they did with the file format on the latest Gimp versions.

For interim solution until we found a way to fix it would be to get the 2.6.12 version of Gimp. I just tested it OK on Windows : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/GIMP%20%2B%20GTK%2B%20%28stable%20release%29/GIMP%202.6.12%20%2B%20GTK%2B%202.16.6/

All images must have an alpha channel (Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha channel), event the images that don't use transparency. And the inventory image should be done (use the same as the center). For now, it isn't used but will be in the future.

For images using transparency like glass, it must have a voxelinfo. It's not needed for regular voxels.

Is there a way yo use then Voxel_Load and Voxel_Unload to store the state of variables when the game is saved and loaded?

When I place a computer it automatically starts executing script 0.nut and also seems to execute the Voxel_Load function. But if I change script in the computer dialog and hits "Load / Compile" the Voxel_Load function does not get called for that script. That doesn't look correct to me.

Yep, there's bug. The problem was reported few days ago. That's fixed and reworked in our code now. Also fixed some Squirrel libraries that wasn't loading as they should in the 1.21. This will enable using files and a lot of other functions in your programs.

We'll release a beta in few days

Hello Toupie,

Thanks. Oh. And I forgot one small bug I've noticed.

When a programmable computer places the last of a voxeltype in its inventory, that voxeltyp still is visible in the computers inventory, but with a quantity of 0. Manually moving another voxeltype into to that inventory slot clears it.

And don't take these bug reports as complaints. I only want to try and help make Blackvoxel better since I see some great potential in it.

That's added in the list.

We are pleased that users report bugs because it helps to improve the game. We know that it takes time to you to make bug reports, so we thank you for that.

Thanks for the picture!

Hello Toupie,

Very nice project!

Very good looking!
 

Blackvoxel will be a good tool for exploring 3D curves when we we'll add a "3D voxel place" drawing function. And maybe for a "programming mode" in the future with some access to our 3D drawing libraries used in the Blackvoxel engine (those that was used to make these giant procedural trees in realtime sector generation in the Blackwood forest).
