@cris-kun: just do this:

Every time you do this:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(....)
or this:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.drawq(....)
Just put love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255) before:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
love.graphics.draw(....)

Code: Select all

love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
love.graphics.drawq(....)
You will stop having that 'tinted' issue that you seem to be having.
When I write def I mean function.

Does my screen shot look off to you to?

For me, those two are exactly the same colour.

tentus: 1 bit difference is not something you can see as a human.
I guess this is sort of like how sometimes in Lua 0.7 - 0.1 = 0.59999996423721? So close that you're not supposed to be able to notice that it's wrong?

if you look at the code I posted above, I've already tried this suggestion. It's also not my images that are being tinted, but the things that love is drawing itself.

@chris:

Again, please post your code as it is now, so that we can see what's going on. This is like trying to fix someone's bike over the phone- really hard to do without causing further problems.

Alright, people, stop piping in, this is getting ridiculous.

Your paddles are those thin lines, right? For me, it looks like they have the exact same colour as the background colour in my screenshot. The GIMP confirms.

This is all the code you have posted:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	pc={122, 150, 191, 255}
	love.graphics.setColorMode("replace")
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(51,51,51)
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)                                       
	love.graphics.setColor(pc)
	love.graphics.line(paddle[2].x1, paddle[2].y1, paddle[2].x2, paddle[2].y2)
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
	love.graphics.draw(paddlei, paddle[1].x1, paddle[1].y1)
	love.graphics.draw(balli, bx-balli:getWidth()/2, by-balli:getHeight()/2)
	love.graphics.print(p1,5,5) love.graphics.print(p2,x-13,5)
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
end
What I'm asking is for you to post the contents of main.lua. Don't leave anything out. I had to stitch the above together from several posts, and its still horribly incomplete. I cant help you with just this.

@Robin: scroll to the right of his screenshot, the paddle on the right side is a much darker color. As chris said, it's #566478, not #7995bf (you may need to take a good look at your copy of GIMP if it says those two are the same).

I'd also like you to post the paddle image.
