Hi there

We are working hard on a 8bit demo , and I would like to know how can I draw using the fifth color in the G2F program. I can draw in ZOOM mode using BAK color and COLORS 0,1,2. I means together 4 colors. But we need to draw into the pictures some text best using separate color - COLOR 3 (no mather of the real color value).

I can see the COLOR 3 in the color edit/palette dialog window (there are BAK color and colors 0-3) , but I can not draw using it (in ZOOM mode - there are only colors BAK and 0-2 to choose from).

Please how can I draw using color 3 in G2F?

Greetings

Kozyca/Samar

SPACE key (in ZOOM mode) work in version 3.8.5.9

download last version http://g2f.atari8.info

first draw with COLOR2, then change chars with this COLOR2 in COLOR3 (in ZOOM mode or EDIT CHARSET ALT+H, select area and push SPACE key)

in Atari XE/XL COLOR3 is only for chars with invers !!!

Thanks very much :-) it realy works in the 3.8.5.9 version, I had an older version before, and there was it not working ;-) So now is it OK, I know its just inversion, not "real" color.
But for me it seems like very well hidden option ;-)

hi tebe,

please, while we're on subject, could you please explain the COL format? In polish docs I found:

COL - paleta kolorów dla każdej z linii ekranu (5 * 256 bajtów)

I understand what it says but I don't understand the logic behind this -- in g2f picture I have max of 30 logical (interruptible) lines with max of 9 colors (5 COLx regs, 4 players)... so I'm really stupid here since I can't get what the hell that 5*256 means ;-)

It's more than 8 years I coded something on 8bit so don't kill me if I ask for something really stupid ;-)
