Some kinds of filter animations were broken in a previous build, resulting in wrong values.

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

Animating a filter's size in a loop is no longer smooth, and seems to be skipping frames.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

It's perfect around version 512.1475.

You didn't provide enough information to investigate this report. I need a test case.

Sure.

filters+=filter(type="outline",x=0,y=0,size=5,offset=2,color=rgb(255,255,255))
animate(filters[1],size=15,time=15,loop=-1)
animate(size=5,time=15)


That's the code in a basic test environment used on the mob.

This is the result in the latest version:

And this is how it looks in 512.1475:
