Could someone explain how I would go about replacing one color on a surface? Thanks in advance.

MapRGB for the color to replace, MapRGB for the color to replace with (using the surface that the color rep...

You know what? Cut an paste is easier. I'll public domain this for ya.



get/putpixel are from the sdl docs, and 's' is the surface

Do you have the link to the exact location of the whole getpixel putpixel thing? If not thanks again anyway!

Nevermind I found it! :D

I realize C-Junkie's way is much nicer but I have done it using colorkeys in SDL. I create a temp surface the same size as the original image or section of the image, fill it with the color I want to replace the old color with then set the colorkey on the original surface to the color I want to switch from, blit to the temp surface then blit back to the original surface, delete the temp surface and reset the colorkey to whatever it was before on the original. This works well for me if I have a set of images on a single surface and I only want to change a color for one of them. Obviously this isn't one of those highly optimized or thought out routines, it just works for me.

This works great, but I've got one problem. I'm using the same image for several different surfaces. When I change the color for 1 surface it does it for all of them as if it were changing the file instead. In all this works well. Thank you. I'll try and sort out this problemo.

There's probably better ways to do this, but you just need another SDL_Surface*, so you could use a function like SDL_DisplayFormat(SDL_Surface *surface), that returns a pointer to a SDL surface and then change colors on the new one. You'll still have your old surface for whatever you want.

I don't quite get it. Mind putting it in code?

Note: It works when I use SDL_LoadIMG after the transfer but that takes a while.
