It's not looks like customised unit(if you look into the source carefully).
I haven't change any code,just add some extended function,define...etc.

Sprite engine itself needs many extended function,define to get full features.(to be more powerful than official)

You can see like AsphyreCanvas.pas contain many draw functon.
Those single function can use for all condition or purpose.

It is a little hard to remove these customised unit and add a own unit for sprite engine,like spriteDef.pas.
Because it will make sprite engine more complex or something doesn't work perfect.

its possible that any future upgrades to AE will break SpriteEngine...
I think you don't worry about this,i'll update sprite engine more often to made compatable with new version of Asphyre.

Ah, I see... rather than a full rewrite then, how about renaming your custom units to avoid compiler confusion?

It's much easier said than done. You see, Sprite Engine is not just an add-on to Asphyre, but it is more like an extension/mod in a way.

In order to make Sprite Engine independent from Asphyre's code a lot of effort is required and will need significant changes both in Asphyre native components and Sprite Engine itself.

However, when I get some more time, I'll try to review Sprite Engine carefully and see if few things can be modified in Asphyre to make it easier to integrate different versions of Asphyre and/or Sprite Engine together.

Attached Sprite engine, demos compiling well with few fixes, but BLEND2FX consts from DraculaLin seems to be not working in this pack.
problems with these:


fxAdd2X = $7FFFFFF0;
fxLight = $7FFFFFF1;
fxLightAdd = $7FFFFFF2;
fxBright = $7FFFFFF3;
fxBrightAdd = $7FFFFFF4;
fxGrayScale = $7FFFFFF5;
fxOneColor = $7FFFFFF6;

------
All these effects result black squares instead of sprites like these :
http://pxsoft.afterwarp.net/screens/clipboard.jpg

White circle in center is my experimens on bug fixing.
Dark squares is standart light sprites in this demo, rendered with fxLight(by default)

The constants definitely seem wrong. Also, I changed your IMG to URL tags. Please use smaller images *or* add images as attachments (so they'll have thumbnails) rather than linking directly.

It's not wrong. It's work fine.
They are some extended DrawFx.
Although you need to add some code into Asphyre2D.pas.

Code:
procedure TAsphyre2D.SetDrawFx(DrawFx: Cardinal);
const
 CoefD3D: array[TBlendCoef] of Cardinal = (D3DBLEND_ZERO, D3DBLEND_ONE,
  D3DBLEND_SRCCOLOR, D3DBLEND_INVSRCCOLOR, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA,
  D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA, D3DBLEND_DESTALPHA, D3DBLEND_INVDESTALPHA,
  D3DBLEND_DESTCOLOR, D3DBLEND_INVDESTCOLOR, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHASAT);
 BlendOpD3D: array[TBlendOp] of Cardinal = (D3DBLENDOP_ADD,
  D3DBLENDOP_REVSUBTRACT, D3DBLENDOP_SUBTRACT, D3DBLENDOP_MIN, D3DBLENDOP_MAX);
var
 SrcCoef : TBlendCoef;
 DestCoef: TBlendCoef;
 BlendOp : TBlendOp;
begin
 if (Direct3DDevice = nil) then Exit;
 Fx2Blend(DrawFx, SrcCoef, DestCoef, BlendOp);

 with Direct3DDevice do
  begin
   if (SrcCoef <> bcOne)or(DestCoef <> bcZero)or(BlendOp <> boAdd) then
    begin
     SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, iTrue);

     if (FAlphaTesting) then
      SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHATESTENABLE, iTrue);

     SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND,  CoefD3D[SrcCoef]);
     SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, CoefD3D[DestCoef]);
     SetRenderState(D3DRS_BLENDOP,   BlendOpD3D[BlendOp]);

    end else
    begin
     SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, iFalse);
     if (FAlphaTesting) then
      SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHATESTENABLE, iFalse);
    end;


   case DrawFx of
     $7FFFFFF0: // fxAdd2x
     begin
       SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA);
       SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_ONE);
       SetTextureStageState(0, D3DTSS_COLOROP, D3DTOP_MODULATE2X);
       SetTextureStageState(0, D3DTSS_ALPHAOP, D3DTOP_MODULATE);

     $7FFFFFF2: //  fxLightAdd

Thx... i missed that in my experiment now it`s fully operational.
But there is funny thing appears :
ground tiles looks like real3d+bupmapped (eye trick)

is it new dxheaders features? or just unexpected consequence of my semi-professional joining new Asphyre and Sprite engine?
