Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a simple OS in Scratch. In doing so, to display Scratch usernames, I am using Aspergit text renderer, which (despite the number of times I set brightness to 100) still remains black. Also, the text, on 50% of occasions does not center as expected.

Finally, to simulate buffering, I have made a simple ‘buffering program’. However, due to lag on Scratch, this is not appearing as expected, or calculated.

If some Scratcher far more experienced than myself is able to fix these issues, I will be eternally grateful and provide credit to.

Thanks,
Jacko1222

Text engines don't care about what a sprite looks like. Brightness doesn't matter. Pen is only affected by blocks in the pen category.

set pen color to [#ff0088]
change pen color by ()
set pen color to ()
change pen shade by ()
set pen shade to ()
change pen size by ()
set pen size to ()

I see what you mean, but I changed the Aspergit setting to Vector, which creates a sprite. Therefore, the costume settings should work..

Your right, that is rather odd. I think its time to…. consult the wiki!

Ok, so after spending some time looking through the wiki and reading through old wiki posts, plus some trial and error, I've come up with this:
1) The problem is Stage 3D
2) Pressing Ctrl+M will properly turn Stage 3D on and off (which makes brightness work until you turn it off)
3) Stage 3D is not activating itself in your project
4) I have no clue why it's not working
5) There might be something that somebody more experienced would know/find that I overlooked/didn't know.

Just clear the first and the last cotume for letters, leaving those blank-empty.

Fair enough, you are absolutely awesome. How the heck you found that I cannot even comprehend!

Right, well Log of course came through and directed me to this: https://github.com/LLK/scratch-flash/issues/570
So basically, you'll have to make the costumes white. It might (miiiiiiight) work back to black if you start with white, but that's 50/50.

Okay, not what I wanted to hear, but I'll take it. thanks

You can make sprites for each different letter and do the "

if <[letter # v] contains [insert random letter here ]> then
    
switch costume to [costume insert random letter here v]
end

block.

Or you can use clones or pen.. Or or or or or.. uh
