Until now, Obj_args have always been displayed in hex, in both Whitehole and the ObjectDB.

But I figured, why? Decimal feels more natural to a lot of people. Hex is only really useful when you have bitmasks and similar things, which shouldn't be the case in SMG given the number of Obj_args available.

So I decided that the next Whitehole release will display Obj_args in decimal format. And changed the ObjectDB accordingly.


Now, I'm curious about people's opinions. Am I going to face a wave of complaints for having done that without consulting anyone?

Interesting. What do you mean by 'a connection in the maps', anyway?

Interesting. Is fog a standard object or something else? Because then I could even add a color picker in Whitehole for that.

I looked at the Obj_args used for PostFogArea. It appears that each color component is stored in a separate Obj_arg.

Hex would have made sense if all the components were stored together. But in this case, decimal can work fine.

What gets trickier will be implementing a color picker thing in Whitehole.

Blarg blarg. The 'both' option is actually the hardest to implement. I have to add switches to both the ObjectDB and Whitehole. Blarg.
