Plastik Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've been using Magellan now for a week or so and I love it! I was wondering if there are any F18a add on's like the multi tile support and the 512 color palette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've been using Magellan now for a week or so and I love it! I was wondering if there are any F18a add on's like the multi tile support and the 512 color palette? Hi Plastik, F18A support is built into Magellan. To activate it choose Options and one of the Enhanced Color Modes. The F18A has a base 64 color base palette split into either 8 sub-palettes of 8 colors each (ECM3) or 16 sub-palettes of 4 colors each (ECM2). Each tile or sprite can use colors from one of the sub-palettes only. Each color in a palette can be chosen from 4096 (16x16x16) possible RGB values. When you have selected a tile or sprite, use the combo box drop-down to choose the palette. Double click on a color in a palette to change the RGB value. I'm not sure what you mean by "multi tile support"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "multi tile support"? Well you answered all my questions thank you I phrased it wrong by "multi tile support" I meant title layering which I see is supported in sprite mode. Thanks again.

Plastik Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well one more question I guess I was wrong. Is there any change in background with the F18a? Is it still 32x24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If we're talking about color tiles (not monochrome text mode tiles) the F18A can display either 32x24 or 32x30 tiles on the screen. But you have to understand that Magellan is a map editor - not a screen editor - so it doesn't care about the size of the screen on which the map is going to be shown. Usually in the end product a section of the map will be shown in a scrolling window, and it has no implications for the design of the map how big that window is.

Plastik Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Can anyone recommend any books that explain getting sprites on to the Ti using the hex code given? I tried the Export basic data but it does nothing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Try Export XB or BASIC PROGRAM. But.... You need to assign the hex to a starting character... Like CALL CHAR(96,"AA1594BD9960...") Then you need to do a CALL MAGNIFY(3) to set double sized SPRITEs. Then do a CALL SPRITE using your character pattern (in this case "96") as the ASCII code.

Opry99er Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yea, no prob. You can also add a few values inside the SPRITE call in order to create auto-motion. DL the XB manual from the Dev Resources thread and study up on SPRITE, PATTERN, MOTION, LOCATE, and COINC. Youll find yourself programming cool stuff in no time.

Asmusr Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I don't use XB if I can avoid it so I can't help much with the code, but for 16x16 sprites isn't there supposed to be 4 between the numbers of each character you redefine? Also, it looks like you're trying to stack 6 sprites, so won't you have problems with the 4 sprites per line limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Rasmus is correct, 4 SPRITEs per line. And, as he says, when you define a double-sized SPRITE, you are defining 4 characters at a time, so you need to leave that gap, otherwise you are redefining your characters before displaying. Instead of 96,97,98... Try 96,100,104,108, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastik Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 What Subprogram can I use to repeat a sprite on horizontally the screen? I tried "HCHAR" but if gave me very distorted sprites. Maybe I'm not implementing it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If you are wanting to repeat SPRITEs, that is different from repeating the graphic tiles. We should discuss this further in a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastik Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If you are wanting to repeat SPRITEs, that is different from repeating the graphic tiles. We should discuss this further in a new thread. Good point I don't want to hi-jack the thread. I'll start a new one talking about sprites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 It's been a while since I posted a new version of Magellan. As far as I remember I have mainly made some bug fixes, but there are two new features worth mentioning: * Swap two characters (both the patterns and on the map) by holding down shift and clicking another character. This is *very* useful for reordering you character set. * Ability to toggle character/sprite layers on/off. As always there are 3 versions: 2 for Windows (x86 and x64) that have to be unzipped and then installed, and one cross platform version that just has to be unzipped. In any case you need Java runtime (>= 6) installed. Magellan_windows_3_0_2.zip Magellan_windows-x64_3_0_2.zip Magellan-3.0.2.zip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
