+Stephen Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hey emkay - is there any way you could post an ATR of the "Fallout" picture you did a while back? I'm having a great time looking at these pics on my 130XE (especially since doing the super video mod). Thanks a bunch. Oh - BTW. I finally got my PAL 130XE in. I need to find a way to get a picture out of it (I am thinking of just getting a good capture card for my PC - especially since I also use an SIO2PC cable). So I'll finally be able to listen to some of your test tunes on the real hardware, at the correct 50Hz. Stephen Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The size can be adjusted by using the cursor keys. 938128[/snapback] Thank you. Works fine here. It's really a pity that there isn't a complete english documentation... BTW: I would like it, if G2F supports also a inversion switches on/off (set high bit, clear high bit). With the invert switch implementation, things are a little bit harder as they could when working with overlapping areas... (which seems quite common use case to me) Additionally reposition of the yellow cursor rectangle would be more convenient if also a click to a position inside the rectangle resets the upper left corner of the cursor rect. This click is ignored now. Anyhow, great program 'tebe' - please continue with your outstanding work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special, just a classic picture "adjusted" to the ingame graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Anderson 939088[/snapback] Hm... The original is from AEG (C64) .... converted by Tebe. I only added the rainbow colours for showing the new possibilites of G2F. Sorry, I don't have the "source" with the colour enhancement anymore. But, it is no problem to re-create that.... so if you want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Enjoy my first G2F image. BTW: Anyone there to port the game? 940306[/snapback] Very good ... First I thought, it's C64 conversion. But then I recognized something different. The whole Image is different. A direct compare shows the C64 version as a real "old leather" with false colours. Your conversion shows overall better colours and the picture looks more "Anime" like and seems to be a "redraw, not a conversion. Niice to see this interpretation. Here the conversion to "MCS" of the C64 screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 emkay...you are right... its kind of rework of the pic...if you compare it side by side with the original then you can see the differences...so thumgs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here the conversion to "MCS" of the C64 screen. Thank you. It's only partly a redraw as I've compared the C64 screen and the Amstrad CPC version. IMHO the CPC version looks better (beside the usage of colors) and was easier to convert since it uses less shades. The result is a mixture of the CPC geometry and C64 coloring tweaked by using the much more natural A8 palette. BTW: What means "MCS" conversion? Is the "MCS" conversion also displayable on the A8 as depicted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 and if you have a close look on the firebird logo you'll see that it's kind of antialised... again...well done and much work put into it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics are done with some DLI's for creating a linear graphics screen out of the charmode. The PM is fixed to build the 6th colour for a picture. Depending on the picture, 9 colours are allowed... just with a very low cpu usage. I'm pretty shure that it's possible to have those working in Games and for loaders aswell. G2F can handle the graphics possibilities much better, but I doubt you will ever see such graphics ingame... exept someone is writing games on a "super" cpu.

So the flowers are not mine... Anyhow, it took about 6 hrs to build the image, but since I was using G2F the first time, things would now go a little bit quicker. Most of all I missed a good functionality to exchange pixels of one color with other colored pixels. (Quite usefull, when you encounter the need of using an other color for 710 because the inversion of the char produces less conflicts...) Is there an appropriate function? Exchange of the pixel value and not only the color value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Beast ended up before coming to the farther free area .... The Picture really works like the original. But, the Bomb Jack picture would need some rework. The huge "sand" area looks like a picture, someone has not finished. if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Yes, I liked the depth of field in the original which had slightly more subtle lum with the Amiga's larger pallette, but the reworking with the available Atari lums worked out. I spent a long time working it out without the skeleton included until I was happy. the Bomb Jack picture would need some rework. The huge "sand" area looks like a picture, someone has not finished. if you know what I mean Hmm, I was basing this on the original advertising poster for the game, the Amiga title was a pretty good reproduction of that so I descided to use both to work from. I really wanted to shade in the dark side of the piramid but the max cols were already used. The castle was difficult because I had only large resized sprites to fill the space but needed detail there too. I had to compromise my original ideas to make it reality. I guess the sand area below does look a little empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 For fun, here's the arcade title screen I reproduced a while back. I've used the same col registers for the blue shades to allow for the rotating colours. The screen I created is a static G2f so I've simulated the rotating colour animation as a GIF anim to post it here although it would be quite simple to do this in the code when it is displayed on the A8. Maybe the rotating or an animating colour pallete could be a new feature of G2F? I remember a few pics on the ST used to good effect. Simple things like running water etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
