RSW BIF Editor 2.1 Feedback.

[TosaInu]

This topic is for BIFReader 2.1 feedback only.

Konnichiwa RSW san,

The colorpalette window is too small thus not all 256 available colors are visible.

[barocca]

perhaps place the additional colours on 'tabbed' pages, allowing a user to pick colours not currently used in the frame being edited
without dramatically increasing the screen size of the program or making the pallette too small.

Hmmm....
Tm told me about the problem last time.
But I don't know what the problem really is. I can see all the colors on my screen.

Please send me the "print screen" (save as .jpg). Maybe I can figure out how to fix it later.

[Kraellin]

you guys are running in different resolutions is all.

Hey RSW, good job with the reader!

I dusted off the old copy of your source that I had and found the pixel settings I set for the color table form to allow it to print the entire color matrix. They are:

width 368
height 322

Any chance I could get to see your source? I did quite a bit of research a while back on the best way to compute the optimum color palette given a series of bitmaps. I'm interested in seeing how you did it. Send it to my hotmail address nkw10tm@-no spam- hotmail.com

some of the access violations seem to occur on pages where the 'offset' is a negative number

There are two different kinds of txt file.
One is for the ???.lbm
ex: XBow.txt -> for XBow.lbm
(maybe for software simulation)

The Second is for ???.bif
ex: XBowPage.txt -> for XBow.bif

If you want to use XBow_H.bif, you need to enlarge the rectanges.
Because Xbow.bif -> 256x256, XBow_H.bif -> 512x512.

[barocca]

perhaps your program could check the file for negative numbers and refuse to open it?
a little message informing the user this is not a bif control file?
