release SCAR Divi 3.37 Final

[FHannes]

SCAR Divi 3.37.00 has been released! I dumped 3.36 on you guys only just over 2 weeks ago, but this release features a big amount of bugfixes, tweaks and new stuff. Even though 3.36 was developed in 2 months, the changes in this new release are at least 4 times as extensive.

Woooooooo, da best stuff right here! Shoop da woop!

That's one hell of a change log!

 

Also I love how SMALL SCAR is to download now! Only 7mb versus 15mb a couple versions ago!

 

Does anyone know how to invert a color with SCAR?

 

 

Trying to make the Font's color for the RS2 Setup Script text to be the opposite of the background color....

just to try it out...

It's smaller than before, yes, but it never reached 8MB...

There's no funciton for it, but you can just subtract the RGB components of a color from 255, that should give you the components of the inverted color.

Too bad you didn't post that earlier, because I was searching for it and found it . Now everything works good! Yayz looks cool now:

 

That color picker can change the background of the form...

Do you actually pay attention to the file size these days? I mean, with these connection speeds we have now (compared to the old days of SCAR - 2003)? We have much more Hard Drive space in use aswell..

 

Wouldn't be a problem to me if SCAR would be 100mb, as long as its worth it (and that it isn't a problem for Freddy to host, of course)...

There was a small bug in the release, so I've just fixed it and uploaded new installers, so if you downloaded before this message, redownload.

That's a lot of improvements in one update.

Thanks Freddy!
