Hollywood forums

When trying to use RebelSDL, it keeps complaining "Hardware brushes cannot be used here!" on line I am using DisplayBrushFX()

is this because RebelSDL cant use DisplayFX command, or am I just missing doing something?

searching for DisplayBrushFX in RebelSDL manual gave me no hits, nor did I notice a mention of it there.

Dont try but i think hollywood main maual, claim that hardware brush ONLY can be drawn and no other effect is possible with them, shall apply here as well

Thanks. Didnt realise to check from Hollywoods own hardware brushes section, only looked from RebelSDL manual.

Although doesnt specifically mention DisplayBrushFX command, I however think it is included in the "Nothing else can be done with hardware brushes than drawing them to a hardware-accelerated double buffer. That is why almost all functions of the brush library will not work with hardware brushes."

This is good. I will now change the code accordingly. For I was originally using DisplayBrushFX bit as a hack anyway, just to get it easily done, but I can do it some other way too. Just didnt want to start changing the code before I knew that problem was with the command itself, and not in something easy that I need to do first when using it.
