Fixed 1.1.525 and later...

sprite_save() failed - no bitmap data available Has anyone else been getting this error?

The sprite exists, beforehand, so I do not think that is the source of the fail.

I've also seen another major error:
I have been able to save sprites added from the Internet (e.g. https://www.google.c...srpr/logo3w.png ) but the colors are messed up!

Here is an original image, from the web:



And this is the image after downloading it through GM:Studio's Asynchronous functions and sprite_save()ing it:



This switches the image's red and blue values for each pixel.

Is that the same url you are using on GM:S? if so, have you tried a different server? if not, and can we see the real link?

The picture in the nephalia seakite example is located at:

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=247126&type=card

Changing the multiverseid allowed me to download different magic cards. Unfortunately, gmc cannot handle images processed this way, so I uploaded it to tinypic. The second image is the output of sprite_save.

It seems as if the blue (r,g, of the sprite is inverted. I will have to look into this further.

Ok, this works:

sprite_index = sprite_add( 'http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=247126&type=card' , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

But using sprite_save() I have no idea where the file went to.. or even if its beign downloaded at all, so cant help there.. mind sharing the code?

I'm currently away from my computer:

GM:S now supports asynchronous functions, such as downloading data on all devices. Learn about them here:

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=533980&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1

And it's sprite_save(ind,subimg,fname)

I'll have my project to refer to tomorrow.

I am getting the color flipping error as well. And this is from an internally stored image. What the heck GM:S?

My sprite is changing from skin color-->blue skin. This is bugging me...

I have found out that this switches the image's red and blue values for each pixel [Confirmed]. I've also submitted a bug report.

Just came across this problem myself. I can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet.

There are some really old issues in the bug-tracker and YoYo Games seems to be addressing the newer ones, as if the old ones don't matter any more.
Grrrrr! If they don't want people to submit multiple issues on the same thing, they should at least close the old ones.

Come on YoYo guys, don't ignore us please.

I agree, I posted the bug almost a month ago, and about a week ago it was moved to "assigned". As for Mac images, they fixed the game crashing when downloading pngs.

EDIT (10/12/12): Got a notice from the YoYo Bug Tracker saying that it will be fixed : "v >= 1.1.525".
