Tezz Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Pic below after some more work tonight on the colours, I've also added some shading on the grid to enhance the perspective depth a litle .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Pic below after some more work tonight on the colours, I've also added some shading on the grid to enhance the perspective depth a litle .... The nose looks much better, but the reflection still looks like a broken part of the dognose, i'ts just because it uses still the same colours as the torso of the jet. The new "DLI" on the fire kills the good effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Emkay, I've not got around to the reflection yet. I'll be sorting that next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Here is some proposal... direct picture editing The colour shifting breaks with the "broken nose effect" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven/TQA Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 looks good! Gridrunner has 4 sound fx in total which is better to recreate on Pokey than trying to emulate the vic sound imho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Fantastic work. The tittle screen seems great. More one, less one,... colour. What is important, it's that it comes to a good end. All the best to you. Keep'em comming. José Pereira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 as some might read my blog I have started recreating the sound fx by adapting the sound routines directly. not using transfer tables nor RMT FX feature... (sorry Miker... ) but now I need some help again... please play the vic20 version and try to setup the fire sound. I am playing around with the pokey registers but I am not able to get it right... I simply need a noise sound which sounds like a starting rocket... can someone post me in basic the settings for pokey or even small routine? thanks!

Rybags Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Maybe do the whole thing in 16 KHz mode. I just DL'd a ROM and tried out the VIC-20 version. A quick bash, this is similar... 10 POKE 53768,1 20 POKE 53761,168 30 POKE 53763,136 40 FOR F=10 TO 200 STEP 6 50 POKE 53760,F:POKE 53762,F/2 <try this also without the /2 on second voice> 60 NEXT F You might want to tweak the volume relationships... probably chuck some ADSR in too.

Heaven/TQA Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 thx Rybags. not bad...should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 small update... far from perfect... beware to get your cats and dogs out of the room... haven't found the code piece which sets this high note... gridrunner.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) No problemo - it was only small trial Btw. putting value $57 into $d208 is less "ear-hurting". $07 sounds even nicer. Edited July 20, 2009 by miker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 thx Miker, will check later today how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Miker, you are right... $07 is not too bad... btw. can you move in diagonal directions with joystick? In windows version of atari800win I can but not in the mac os x version? connected is my usb competition pro stick... gridrunner.xex.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In windows version of atari800win I can but not in the mac os x version? connected is my usb competition pro stick... Hi Heaven I cannot move on the diagonal on OS X. I just tried FlorianD's hardware tester and all directions on my USB CX40 work fine there but not in the game. Strange. Can't test Windows at the moment, my MS laptop is at work. Have you tried on real H/W? Edited July 20, 2009 by spookt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 small sound update... tried to get away of the annoying frozen sounds in the intermission screens... still some way to go... all coding done on OS X+eclipse+mads+atari800osx... gridrunner.xex_2.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 @Tezz: very nice title screen! I like it.Thanks. I thought Heaven's great work to port the VIC20 original would be fitting to include the original cover art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 yeah. I love Tezz screen... I am still working on it but I was away few days business trip. So I have some time this weekend to do some Gridrunner work and not playing battlefield1943, wow,... too much work for too less sparetime. but glad to find my nc10+os x can now go via wi-fi into the net and not via my umts vodafone stick...thanks to a lonely netgear wlan stick and as american company they had luckily os x drivers...

Heaven/TQA Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 small update before I am going to play Battlefield1943... - all sound fx patches implemented - player overlay does not stay on screen - highscore routine patched - score moved things to do: - rebuild the sound fx but now all patch routines are in place so we can play around with the pokey settings in more detail - the "SCORE" will be moved 4 pixels to the left so it stays in the middle of logo and score - intermission screen text and dead screen text will be moved 2 chars to the left - game over text garbage will be fixed - right screen margin from 22 to 20 for the player and the centipedes - random shooting of the zappers (compare vic20 to a8...on a8 always same at the beginning...) that's it...check it out... gridrunner.xex.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
