Then it will have problems, not only with the ones you have already had difficulties with, but also with ones such as today's FOTD: JustAnotherFractal { ; time=0:11:11.17-SF5
The PAR has one name for the formula, but the formula has another name.
Oh well. If a PAR can't render the way its posted, then it will be skipped. Its not worth the trouble of doing it by hand.
Glad to see you are now finally taking the "trouble" to render some of those problem FOTDs that were missing from your initial attempts. Seems like you you had to do a bit of work by "hand" after all. Just surprised it took you 16+ months to figure out that XFractInt was the culprit in not rendering those FOTDs. I guess nobody else is using XFractInt to run parameters with that particular problem. On Wed, 16 Jun 2010, at 18:05:53, Richard wrote to <FractDev>:
I noticed a pattern when processing Jim Muth's FOTD pars that every time the parset name had a '-' in the name, xfractint would not be able to render the file properly. I verified this by changing my script to rename the parset 'tmp' as I rendered the image and all the ones with '-' in the name are now rendering properly.
Would it not be better to just have the script change the dash to an underscore character, at least until a patch is applied to the XFractInt code?? Sincerely, P.N.L. -------------------------------------- http://www.Nahee.com/PNL/Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
