New drawmethod commands

Here are the new drawmethod commands, I changed some of the from the old logic (like using 0~1.0 instead of 0~256 for scale to make it more user friendly)


drawmethod scale {scalex} {scaley}
If scaley is not specified, it is the same as scalex. For example, drawmethod scale 1.5 will scale the whole sprite by 1.5.

drawmethod scalex {scalex}
drawmethod scaley {scalex}

These 2 are subset of the previous scale command.

drawmethod flipx {0/1}

drawmethod flipy {0/1}

drawmethod shiftx {value}

Others may call that "shear" or "lean", but anyway, it is usually for gfxshadow, it is unlikely you need this. A value of 1.0 is the same as 256 in old drawmethod command.

drawmethod rotate {angle}

Rotate the sprite, clockwise.

drawmethod fliprotate {0/1}

If the rotation is affected by entity direction.

drawmethod fillcolor {color}

Like the old command. You can either use a raw integer value or in R_G_B format, the later has better compatibility obviously.

drawmethod remap {int}

Leave it alone or use -1 if you want to use current map. Don't use 0, because it means default palette.

drawmethod alpha {int}

Like above, use -1 or leave alone to avoid overriding.

drawmethod channel {r} {b} {b}

When using alpha 6, you can specify opacity for each channel (r, g or b), or leave the other 2 alone to set all the 3 channels.

For example the code below will grand the entity 25% opacity:

drawmethod alpha 6
drawmethod channel 0.25

drawmethod channelr {r}
drawmethod channelg {g}
drawmethod channelb {b}

These are subset of channel.

drawmethod tintmode {int}
drawmethod tintcolor {color}

These 2 will tint the sprite with given tintcolor, in alpha mode tintmode. The color use same format as fillcolor.

drawmethod clip {x} {y} {w} {h}

This one is on svn but is still experimental.
