Version 10

  • sd_Text gets a long overdue update using pixel offsets instead of icon operations. What does this mean to the user? Faster programs! The icon arithmetic in BYOND causes addition downloads, with sd_Text each client used to download 8 separate icons of each font. With pixel offsets, one icon is all sd_Text needs.
  • The sd_RegisterFont and sd_FontIndex procs have been removed. With the new pixel offset method, the Font Registry has been completely phased out.
