Finding out whats been deprecated in love 0.8.0

[joey_green]

I'm wanting to use 0.8.0 because of the shaders and keep getting an error when creating a particle system. I get 'attempt to call method 'setSize' ( a nil value ). I also get this for setColor.

Does this mean the setSize function has been removed? Is so, how should I go about finding out how this functionality has been replaced in 0.8.0?

The wiki doesn't give enough info. https://love2d.org/wiki/0.8.0

[tentus]

The wiki isn't the most up-to-date in terms of unreleased versions. setSize, for example, has been replaced with setSizes.

Try here for a more recent list of changes: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/history/changes.txt (including changes to the changes, meta meta meta meta)

Also, the documentation is lagging a bit behind, changes should all get a newin or an oldin tag in due time.

Look in the wiki -- just yesterday I added two new pages you'll want.
https://love2d.org/wiki/ParticleSystem:setSizes
https://love2d.org/wiki/ParticleSystem:setColors

I ran into the same problem and thought it was a bug. D'OH!

Error: main.lua:28: Cannot create canvas: Not supported by your OpenGL implementation.
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'newCanvas'
main.lua:28: in function 'load'
[string "boot.lua"]75: in function <[string "boot.lua"]73>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Here's the line:

Code: Select all

  canvas = love.graphics.newCanvas()

Does it mean I can't use canvas or it works differently?

[slime]

You probably can't use Canvas .
Can you try love.graphics.newCanvas(256, 256) to see if it's a non power of two issue?

[utunnels]

No, it doesn't work.

Weird, your card supports pixeleffects, but not canvases? Do you have the latest driver version?

[bartbes]

That's intel for you . But these might very well be the drivers windows shipped with, which generally are of poor quality.

[utunnels]

It is my office PC so I'm not really panic. Actually it doesn't run those pixel effect demos (I only tried a few of them).
Although I think I should avoid canvas or pixel effect in my project unless I hit a situation that I must use them.
