Looks great. I´m using it with Wine under Mac OS X and it seems to work fine so far.

But I had to copy the default.fnt to another path, because MadStudio wasn´t looking in it´s own subdirectory for it. Could you change that, or make it possible to set the path manually?

 

The same for "Save" - it fails. But "Save as..." works just fine.

Hi skr,

 

thank you for the notes. Great to see it is working under Mac environment. Strange, default.fnt should be looked under bin directory in Win OS, I will check the code. Can you tell me to which path did you put it? Relative to the program I mean. And sure, I can add manual setting of the path.

 

Ok, Save probably has the same issues, which I will also check.

 

Just post here for anything similar, even for features you would like to see in the program.

 

Greetings

As I use the German GUI, I have to tell you that "Programme" means "Applications" and "Benutzer" means "Users" (not "user", that´s a different one) (under the hood even German GUI uses english, e.g. when using the Terminal)

 

The path to madstudio:

The path to where I had to put "default.fnt" to make it run without error:

The error message, if "default.fnt" is not located in the folder named above.

"Z:" is the root of Macintosh HD. Under Wine, the "C:"-Drive is, errr, somewhere else.

That's very informative and useful explanation. I will think about the ways to make path reading more flexible, taking into account various OS systems and their behaviours.

 

Another solution would be to include default Atari font in resource file, like in the case of color palette, which is integrated in the system. Final way of doing it would be making it possible to manually select such path, as you proposed.

Ok, here is updated version of Mad Studio executable file, which does not require default Atari character set to exist on any path. It is now part of resource file, which is compiled into main program. Also, you can now load default Atari font from main menu in Character set editor (Edit / Set default Atari character set) in case you loaded any custom character set and you want to get default one back.

 

In this editor, by pressing F1 or Ctrl-I you are presented with edit field with some information about path. So, skr, if you are so kind, please post here what you get on Mac OS under Wine. Thank you!

Thx, Gury, this works great. But... ;)

 

The Text mode 1,2 editor still asks for the fnt-file to be in /Users/<name>/bin/

 

When trying to open or write a file, I get an access violation. Solution for me was to set read and write rights for everyone (not only the user) to the folder, where madstudio.exe is in. Not sure if this can be solved from your side.

 

Another quite annoying thing: The dialogue-windows open under existing windows and therefore are invisible. And as long as they are open, you can´t move the other windows around. But you can hit space or return to confirm whatever the window is asking for. I know that and push the other windows away from the middle of the screen, but that´s not a good solution.

 

F1 and ctrl-I (or cmd-I) do nothing on my system.

What a mistejka tu mejka. I fixed text mode 1 & 2 issue, thanks for the notice. Please confirm if it works now, just click the same link with the program.

 

Did you press F1 in Character set editor? That's where it should work. About dialogue-windows... Does this issue persist in all such windows? I hope this problem exists only in Wine environment. Anyway, I have to check the reason.

Can´t confirm text mode 1,2 without new version.

 

F1 works in Character Set Editor, thx. :)

 

For whatever reason, the dialogue windows are in focus, but behind all other windows. And all windows pop up in the middle of the screen. Could be some priority settings. Would be nice to be able to save the windows positions.

New executable is on the same url here.

 

Great, good idea about windows, that is on to-do list for the next version. Now for the Character set editor. By pressing F1 or Ctrl-I you get additional memo edit, where some path information appears. That is what I want to see in Mac OS X under Wine on your system. It would be great if you post that information here, thanks for your time.

Another one:

 

When I try to parse, I get an error (see screenshot). So I´ve downloaded the tbparser and set the path manually. That works, but the path isn´t saved. When I start Mad Studio again, all paths are lost. And I could not make MADS parser work.

Hi skr,

 

definitely this bug must be fixed, I will check the possibilities to overcome the problem in WINE. I will look at path data you posted above (post #36) and hopefully find the way to properly manipulate the paths and config files in WINE in Mad Studio.

Hi,

 

new version of the program can be downloaded here, which includes Antic mode 4 editor.

 

Some notes!

Currently, character editor is in text mode 0, which will be extended to Antic mode 4 later. Also, to make changes to your drawings while you change some character appearance, just move from character editor and all changes will be seen in the main editor.

 

skr, please test the program on your setup as before, to see if there are any path issues left.

Great Gury, the path issues seem to be solved now, everything is working fine so far.

 

Only problem with wine still is windows priority. When I open any editor, the window will pop up in front of all others. If I choose a window in the background, it will stay in the background. So I have to move it around or close the other window(s).

 

If I open a file dialouge, this will pop up in the middle of the screen behind all other windows. In worst case it is invisible, and you can´t move around the other windows, as long as the dialouge window is open. I hit escape then to close the dialouge, that works, as the focus is correctly on the dialouge window. One would expect the current window to have highest priority and be in the foreground, but this is not the case here.
