Builds Not Using New API?

For some reason, it seems the daily builds don’t use the “incompatible” options (with anchorX/Y and text:setFillColor). The first time I tried them, they worked (I know because I got an error telling me not to use :setTextColor or :setReferencePoint), but now nothing happens… It’s as though the graphicsCompatability option or whatever it’s called is eternally enabled.

Has anyone else seen this?

I’ve done it both with 2013.1202 and 2013.1234, by the way :slight_smile:

Daily builds are separate from graphics 2.0 daily builds.  The latest G2.0 daily build is 2004.  G1 will not recognize any G2 features, but should ignore the graphicsCompatibility flag in config.lua.

You cannot expect to run any code converted for G2 in any flavor of G1.

Ahhh… So .anchorX/Y and :setFillColor for text objects is part of G2.0?

Hi Caleb,

Yes, these are 2.0 features only (well, setFillColor is, of course, a 1.0 feature as well, but 2.0 uses this to color text objects too, versus setTextColor).
