[h1]Reading/Writing Data[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9370680/ecf026fef0a80cb5fc465ec9a87679e1229b69da.png[/img] There's a brand new Demo project showcasing Open Dev Kit's versatile Read/Write capabilities! It's a comprehensive guide, showing how you can effortlessly handle various types of data within your projects, such as modifying and reading the user's clipboard (capable of containing text, images, or a list of various files). You aren't limited to the clipboard either, as shown in the Demo you can use file open dialogs to load external images and files. (Did you know that Open Dev Kit supports an extensive range of image formats? Don't miss out on exploring the demo to see the possibilities!) For those working on game projects, we've crafted an example illustrating how to save individual API Objects as either .xml or raw binary data. Imagine using the same setup to export your player's character data or any other crucial properties your game utilizes. It's a great game-changer for efficient data management! But that's not all, the demo goes further by demonstrating how to read and write .INI files, the go-to format for holding application/game settings. Gain insights into optimizing your project's configurations with this handy feature. [h1]Extended OpenAI Support[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9370680/11e1c038e9de7df2a15aa54a733a4ef4b8dc88ee.png[/img] Another huge advancement has come to our OpenAI support — the latest image generator DALL-E-3! This not only unlocks a new generator for you to take advantage of, but also brings some new functionality such as setting the image quality, modifying the generator style, and new non-square resolutions. Those in the Alpha can check out our updated OpenAI Demo now! For those not in the OpenAI loop - this is a huge generational bump over the previous DALL-E-2. Generated images are far better in all aspects, creating amazing HD results without needing to construct super specific prompts. As well, DALL-E-3 works even better with longer prompts allowing a tremendous amount of customization and flexibility.
