    LavaDraw v1.2 is now on GitHub with a completely rewritten arrow head system. If you find any arrows that render incorrectly please post a screenshot here. I think I caught all of the edge cases though.

    Lovely :)
    How does the circle draw? Photoshop like from edge or PA like click&drag from the middle?

    Like PA. I think that's what you wanted, right?

    Now all we need is for @cptconundrum to add this to his UI and update the mod.

    Glad to hear it! The math behind that thing is nasty.

    @cptconundrum and @Martenus
    Could you update my name in the mod authors list on PAMM and on this thread to say "LavaSnake" instead of "Lavasnake"? I really like my camel casing. :D

    Sure. I just changed it locally so it will make it into the next update.

    ok, sweet! I can't wait to see the next version. It'll be great to have the arrows working correctly and circles added.

    And hotkeys. Now I just need to stop getting distracted by other things...

    Cpt, could you just do a quick release that updates LavaDraw and adds the circle tool? Then when you get the time you can add the hotkeys, settings, and other stuff in another update. I'd just like to get the better arrow tool and circle tool out to casters ASAP so they can find any bugs that I might have missed and also be able to have good arrows and circles for their casting.

    It's up on PAMM now. Here are the changes;

    • Better arrows
    • Circle tool
    • Stamp tool removed
    • Keyboard shortcut to clear the canvas has been changed to ALT+X
    Still left to do:
    • Settings option to change ALT to another button.
    • Keyboard shortcuts for cycling through colors and tools
    • Settings option to disable blur/transparency

    Sweet!

    TO ALL CASTERS:
    Please post any bugs with the arrow tool below with and screenshot. It shouldn't have any but one can never be too careful after writing 50+ lines of JavaScript trig code. Also, I'd be happy to hear any ideas for new tools and I'm sure cptconundrum will say the same for UI changes.

    (Martenus, could you add this to the first post along with a changelog for the update? Thanks!)

    Guys the @Martenus doesn't work, I get no notification :p

    So the best is to quote one's post to get one's attention :p

    I am updating the main post now.

    I use it all the time and it works great. It's one of the best features of this forum software.

    Anyway, what do you think of the arrows and circles? Do they work how you'd like them to?

    Sadly, I haven't started PA for many days now. I will test that asap and give some feedback. I've been super busy with something ... secret :)
