FLEP custom patches: updates, testing and discussion (Round 2) - Page 12

Would it be possible to make a patch that removes this weird screen flashing that happens when you start tomb4.exe? It happens in both fullscreen and windowed mode but in windowed it is especially jarring. I think it happens because the exe switches resolution first to some really small one (like 640x480 or less) and then to the actual one from the -setup screen.

It broke between 2018-2021 I believe. Broad range but I'm pretty sure its around there

To my memory I felt it was working in 2018 at least...

I might still have an FLEP version where it worked

EDIT:
I don't, I think I actually had just recently erased the where I may have had it due to duplicates. My bad

Oh, nice one!

As for this part in the instructions:
3. Install Plugin_FLEP through TombIDE or NG Center.

Is it always required or does it depend on which patches are ticked in the FLEP program?

Titak, this patch requires TE to be used to compile a level. It won't work with NGLE.

ChocolateFan · 31-01-23, 02:10

Indeed to fix the rainbow bug the level editor must collaborate.

Titak, Plugin_FLEP is always required. Otherwise you can have random crashes.

Now I'm confused.

Anyway, I do have it installed in both MoA1 and MoA2 now.
(not using TE btw)

I was wondering about it because at some point I got a "plugin-flep.dll missing" message when trying to run the game. Even though the file was in the game folder.
All seems okay now.

**Titak** · 06-02-23, 22:25

Does the "Fix rainbow bug" only work when using TE?
Because I applied it to my MoA game and it does not seem to make a difference there.
(Using NGLE+TRNG and edited the levels with Meta2TR.)
