Is that a free program or do i need $? Hehe

@corto

OK I set up DosBox with the new settings and I am looking forward to see if it really improves the speed.

@Antique
Art Effect works well, I am using the version that came with the Amithlon CD.

I have i picture i need to edit a bit. Is there a program that works under os4 and supports 24bit gfx that i can use? Something similar to dpaint etc.?

@LiveForIt

If you need to betatest it on my marvelous SE then say so.

Can help you test the networking too.

MUI have "nothing to talk" in drawing topic. ;) MUI only calls a method MUIM_Draw, which is used for drawing procedures.

The code is simply as possible; this is the init part in
MUIM_Setup:

dto = NewDTObject(data->fileName,
DTA_GroupID, GID_PICTURE,
PDTA_DestMode, PMODE_V43,
OBP_Precision, PRECISION_EXACT,
PDTA_Remap, TRUE,
TAG_DONE);
if(dto)
{
struct image *gi = NULL;
struct BitMapHeader *bmh;

SetAttrs(dto,
PDTA_Screen, (ULONG)scr,
PDTA_UseFriendBitMap , TRUE,
TAG_DONE);

if (gi = (struct image *)MAllocVecPooled(sizeof(struct image)))
{
GetDTAttrs(dto, PDTA_BitMapHeader, (ULONG)&bmh, TAG_DONE);

gi->picObject = dto;
gi->imageFlags |= DFLG_Datatypes;
data->width = bmh->bmh_Width;
data->height = bmh->bmh_Height;


and draw procedure called in MUIM_Draw:

void drawDTPic(Object *dto, struct RastPort *rp, ULONG x, ULONG y, ULONG width, ULONG height)
{
struct BitMapHeader *bmh = NULL;
struct BitMap *bm = NULL;
BOOL success = FALSE;

if (DoMethod(dto, DTM_PROCLAYOUT, NULL, 1))
{
GetDTAttrs(dto, PDTA_BitMapHeader, (ULONG)&bmh, TAG_DONE);
if (bmh)
{
GetDTAttrs(dto, PDTA_DestBitMap, (ULONG)&bm, TAG_DONE);
}
}

if (DataTypesBase->lib_Version >= 44)
{
APTR handle = ObtainDTDrawInfoA(dto, TAG_DONE);
if (handle)
{
success = DrawDTObjectA(rp, dto,
x, y, width, height,
0, 0, TAG_DONE);
ReleaseDTDrawInfo(dto, handle);
}
}

if (!success)
{
APTR mask = NULL;
GetDTAttrs(dto, PDTA_MaskPlane, (ULONG)&mask, TAG_DONE);
if (mask)
{
BltMaskBitMapRastPort(bm, 0, 0, rp,
x, y, width, height,
ABC|ABNC|ANBC, mask);
}
else
{
BltBitMapRastPort(bm, 0, 0, rp, x, y,
width, height, ABC|ABNC|ANBC);
}
}
}

I think works in the same way; I know there some limitations, on what type of packages that can be sent, for example I don?t think ping works, general TCP/IP packages should work, but I have not tested this.

@pjs

I have not tested network..

I'm currently adding RDB support to Basilisk 2, because I hate the current format where you need to add start block, and size of partition in blocks, in Amiga world the partitions are defined as LowCyl, HiCyl, this means that you need to calculate where the partition starts.

Start in blocks = LowCyl * heads * sectors_per_track.
Size in blocks = (HiCyl ? LowCyl) * Heads * sectors_per_track

It?s so easy to do some thing wrong, and when you repartition your disk, you might get big problems whit the old format.

That?s way decided to change the format in configuration file to

disk /dev/device/unit/devicename

device=a1ide.device
unit=0
devicename=mac0

@MamePPCA1

You could find advices on this page.

To swap to full screen mode, the special keys page tellls that you have to use alt-enter.

About speed, I looked at the sources yesterday and I suppose we can find many things to optimize.

@SZAMAN

That's strange. OS3 datatypes don't support alpha, OS4 datatypes do. So you should have a border around the images on OS3, but not on OS4.

Perhaps MUI does not support alpha blending and the images have a grey background. So you don't notice it on OS3, although it's there.

Bye,
Thomas

What is difference between programing AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4 datatypes? My friend use the same code in MUI aplication + AISS pictures (PNG+alpha). AmigaOS 3.x - everything work fine, AmigaOS 4 - I have black border around images. Hmm

I haven't seen the version at the Italian show, but I have a suggestion for the current version.

When you are playing a local file (like an MP3) there are buttons for play and stop, but not pause. I know there is a key combo and it can be done from the menu, but it would be nice if there was a button too.

I forget, was it Hyperion or Eyetech that originally got this whole A1/AOS4 thing together?

No, no, no,! Let me correct myself. That was Amiga, Inc. who licensed the hardware development to Eyetech (after which Mai Logic went belly up, suspending that development and production) and the development of the OS to Hyperion and was prepared to license more hardware once a final version OS was released. But then you run into the problem of someone refusing to release a final version OS until they were threatened with court proceedings.

Without Amiga, Inc. none of you would even have A1's or AOS4 in any version.

I disagree. If one doesn't use all the A1s (s)he owns, idle ones should be sold.
I also disagree with throwing out useful books (actually the most used book here is mathematical handbook I actually found lying near the grabage can, not the mint condition, but put nicely on the pavement near the can).
You'll be amazed how many old useful stuff libraries put on sale.
And one can buy great used electronics from stereo shops that do trade-ins (bought an amplifier that was still sold new for less than half the price.
And the PC I'm going to use as HTPC here was actually given to me for free (I believe it was to rot in the cornere or thrown away by the previous owner), added to it a quiet PSU, used it untill got my A1 fixed and now building the HT)
[/slightly OT]

Bottom line: if you have spare A)S4-capable hardware - sell it.
If you want AOS4-capable hardware - hunt the used ones down!!!

As far as I know he was re-writing Cygnix to remove the problems/conflicts with hardcoding the unix locations, or something like that, and he had said it would take a lot of work/time.
I only mentioned it because it was reviewed in Amiga Future.
I think the Firefox port is reliant on X11 as well, so that may be a reason for the delay.


ps. Soryy to hear about your A1.

@ken

I don't suppose you have an icon for Shrub, or tree?

They are programs which will display/print/save a volume, directory as a tree structure list. I have it set up on amidock, and the old MUI icon looks really naff on OS4.

I know you have done absolutley loads of icons, and wondered whether one of those already fitted the bill.

@bean

Many thanks!

@Atheist

Yes, the wheels have fallen off. But not only regarding the court case.
Everything has sunk to a new low. Everytime I think that it can't get worse, it still does.

Maybe it's time to forget about it once for all. It's to depressing and I can't take it anymore.
