emkay Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 What do you mean by "G2F's promotion" ? It's just free will - everybody can use G2F as it is available at AtariArea and here. There are still many beta versions and official versions come rarely. You are maybe wondering only few people use G2F ? Well, laziness is everywhere .... Well... I miss a thread like this, where G2F is made "tasty" by cool artwork... So "everybody" wants to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracon Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 There was one subject dealing with MCS at AtariArea and it was set up by... Heaven! You can check it out: http://www.atariarea.histeria.pl/forum/vie...e6958cbc5#14009 Well, almost no replies but maybe people draw something instead of posting about this subject ? Did you find some other new G2F features such as "Pen" that allows you to paint using brushes with different sizes? It is enabled only when you choose Preview/GFX. Building a map from available fonts is also interesting feature ("Screen" command). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check it out:http://www.atariarea.histeria.pl/forum/vie...e6958cbc5#14009 I know this thread. But, as you can see, a thread without continuous replys is a forgotten thread... Well, almost no replies but maybe people draw something instead of posting about this subject ? Good... if it is so Did you find some other new G2F features such as "Pen" that allows you to paint using brushes with different sizes? It is enabled only when you choose Preview/GFX. Building a map from available fonts is also interesting feature ("Screen" command). I have to find a new cool image which is fun to convert it. So I did not check the newest version. Until then, I am a bit doctoring in RMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracon Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Just waiting for yet another your masterpiece... Raster dividing (GED-alike technique) will be added to G2F soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Raster dividing (GED-alike technique) will be added to G2F soon. Nice to read I hope the coder will make it possible to multiplex PMg. So an Artist will gain more flexibility to use additional colors.

Dracon Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Just (beta)testing... The program became much more powerful and complex as RASTER DIVIDING (in chars mode) technique was recently added... The instruction also got bigger but it is whole written in Polish. So answer is: who will translate it in an international language As you see it's not finished yet and it's one of the reasons that I didn't draw anything new for 4 PAC this time ....

Greetz from Berlin Oh, I am afraid, I didn't make myself very clear.... I found the link dracon gave me today..... What I meant was that I didn't find any link myself last night!

Heaven/TQA Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 and here is the abbuc logo... saved directly out of g2f 2.6 as xex file... i don't know what the hell is wrong with my system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 tebe... what do i have to do manually to save correct data files?optimize? DLI mode? what is graph2fnt doing when saving in .xex mode? thanks for any help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 error found... 1st you have to load your .g2f file... then press "save" button to save the 3 data files, scr, fnt and tab... then save the xasm-compatible source file in the "save as" dialog... now it works... if you tick on the adresses where you might want to have the data tables located then graph2fnt will put XL headers in the data files.... so...that's why my screens looked messed up... simply because they where all shifted by 6 bytes caused by the file header... i realised that when changed the incbin command from text ins 'Alien-Em.scr' into ins 'Alien-Em.scr",6 aaaaargggggggggg... please as soon as possible an english doc...

Heaven/TQA Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 so... do not tick the check boxes to enter adresses for the data tables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 just a quick throwing together... i've taken RMT turrican track, RMT player source, graph2fnt source + emkay's turrican pic and this is the result... have fun... i've included the xasm source codes so you can see how i have implemented & included the RMT file... as the exported g2f assembling file switches OS completly off for timing you have to save and reload the x,y registers as well in the VBL routine (the commands are there but marked as comments...) as the RMT player uses all 3 registers.... of course haven't tested it on real PAL machine... it might be that it won't run on NTSC machines as it is nearly fullscreen... turrican.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
