No more setColorMode? >:(

Is there any replacement for this? I can't find one. I really don't want to have to use shaders for something this trivial.

love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255) achieves the same result as love.graphics.setColorMode("replace"), and "modulate" is the default anyway, so 2/3 of the possible ColorModes are redundant.
On top of that, they didn't even work at all when a shader was active (since shaders completely supersede their functionality) - and they would have to be emulated using shaders anyway on OpenGL ES and modern OpenGL 3+, since they aren't supported with fixed-functionality in the more modern APIs.

The "combine" ColorMode was fairly arbitrary. But it's easy to reproduce it in a pixel shader.

Code: Select all

vec4 effect(vec4 vcolor, Image texture, vec2 texcoord, vec2 pixcoord)
{
    vec4 texcolor = Texel(texture, texcoord);
    return vec4(texcolor.rgb + vcolor.rgb - vec3(0.5), texcolor.a);
}

Hmm. I need to multiply, actually.

That was/is a blend mode.
