Version 0.89.0

[SwingTheVine]

Shaky-Stable Beta Release
In this version, the majority of Blue Marble has been updated. Specifically, the color filter has been redesigned to run faster. In addition, Blue Marble is less strict about the hex color of your template matching the Wplace palette. #000101 will be considered black (#000000) now, instead of "Other".

Change Log

User-Specific

Blue Marble Outage

• Tiles will now load properly.

Color Filter

• Color filter now approximates color matches within a range. This means users no longer need to turn off anti-fingerprinting measures in order to use the color filter.
• Color filter settings no longer persist between site refreshes.
• Color filter now appears in its own window.
• Color filter now requires you to load all template tiles (per browser session) in order to accurately calculate the amount of correctly placed pixels.
• Fixed bug where total pixels, correct pixels, and completion percentage were incorrect in certain circumstances.
• Color filter can now be sorted "ascending" or "descending" according to:
  • Color ID
  • Color name
  • Premium colors
  • Completion percentage per color
  • Correctly placed pixels per color
  • Incorrectly placed pixels per color
  • Total pixels
• Color filter now supports enabling/disabling all colors at once.
• Color filter now supports hiding unused colors from view inside the color filter list of colors.
• Color filter buttons to enable/disable all colors only apply to the colors in the list of colors the user can see.

• When all templates are completed, and all pixels are correct, the color filter window will display confetti.

• All windows now have an exclusive minimization button.
• All windows, excluding the main window, now have a "Close Window" button.
• All windows, excluding the main window, now appear in the top left corner by default.

• Templates no longer store Erased (#deface) pixels as "x" grids inside template storage. Erased pixels are now rendered on-the-go.

• Timers can now be created. Timers are located at Overlay.addTimer().
• All windows are now their own file and class. They are no longer located in main.js.
• Template schema version has been bumped from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0.
• Logic handling the application of developer-specified attributes to elements has been modified to allow some attributes names which coincide with reserved words in JavaScript. E.g., a developer had to specify className instead of class because class is a reserved JavaScript word. Developers can now specify that the class attribute be applied to elements.

  • <span>
  • <details>
  • <summary>
  • <form>

  • <select>
  • <option>
  • <ol> (ordered list)
  • <ul> (unordered/bullet list)
  • <menu>
  • <li> (list item)
  • <table>
  • <caption>
  • <thead> (table header container)
  • <tbody> (table body)
  • <tfoot> (table footer)
  • <tr> (table row)
  • <th> (table header data/cell)
  • <td> (table data/cell)
• addDragbar() and addTimer() are now functions of Overlay.js instead of main.js.
• Window minimization is now a function of Overlay.js instead of being hard-coded.
• Code for filtering colors, calculating correct pixels, and modifying Erased pixels is now a function of templateManager.js.
• Code for filtering colors, calculating correct pixels, and modifying Erased pixels now use only 1 OffscreenCanvas (in addition to the main OffscreenCanvas). In other words, filtering colors, calculating correct pixels, and modifying Erased pixels now only requires 1 iteration over every pixel, instead of multiple iterations.
• ApiManager.getBrowserFromUA() and ApiManager.getOS() functions are no longer private.
• Tiles with no templates are no longer drawn to a canvas before returning the unmodified tile.
• Logic to load templates based on template storage is now dependent on schema version matching.
• Added sleep() function to ./utils.js.
• Added a function to ./utils.js that allows a canvas to be viewed in a new tab.
• Added a function to ./utils.js to decode numbers that were encoded in base-n.

[i-i-h]

i cant use the color filter window easily now, used to really like it and use it often but now that it isnt easy access, and takes up the whole site, instead of being nice and easy in the side bar, i hate it. is there a way to change it back so i can actually use it again?

[SwingTheVine]

In version 0.91.0, the color filter window has a 🗗 button you can use to make the color filter smaller.

[i-i-h]

but it still feels horrible to use, and its annoying to access unlike how it was before. it was fine at the side of the screen where it was easy to use and i didnt have to go out of my way to open it every time the page refreshes

[HighbornDomi]

The new colour filter window kinda sucks and I don't like that it pops out of the existing BlueMarble dock. Can you change it back? Or make an option for the user to adjust the size of the window? It's way too big now, I feel

[SwingTheVine]

In version 0.91.0 (which was released a few days ago), the color filter window now has a 🗗 button, which will make the window smaller.

Hello, I noticed that after closing the browser and reopening the website, all the colors are loaded again. Even if I hide the colors I don’t want to paint for the time being (for example, large white background areas), all the colors are still loaded when I open the site again.

So every time I open the website, I have to first hide all the colors and then manually select the ones I want to paint.

Is there any way to save these settings? Thank you.

Also, the Sort Options don’t seem to remember the previous selection. Each time I open the website, it automatically defaults to Color IDs.
