New software: GSV V1.7DS. Shall we discuss?

Hello, CityAceE Cit> This is the letter I just received. Decided to share Cit> new program with everyone, and at the same time discuss it so that Cit> the author has not lost the desire to create new programs for Cit> of our platform To be honest, I couldn’t download it, maybe the author will give you his homepage or post it program?

Hello,GriV It depends on what is meant by a normal description - a list of what is looking and list of keys? So I limited myself to this. As for formats, most of them do not cause any difficulties (black-and-white screen, screen with attributes, etc.). Regarding *.Y and *.888, I contacted AlCo personally (he gave me Depacker 888 sources, I tweaked them a little and inserted them into my program; a *.Y loads on #B800, calls #B800 and on #B800 we get 3 screens in a row r,g,b). For VideoStudio I used the player attached to the studio itself in pure video, changing only the memory driver (the video is spread over 6 pages and if anything is being loaded). I came up with some formats myself (*.img, *.ani), information on them has already been disclosed. There are no problems with music either - the program has a player built into it from PT3.69 The design for gigascreen on dual-screen images was made with the #FF port and on ATM-2 for some reason did not work, although it was assured that #FF was fully implemented there (it is necessary make a more stringent port definition) P.S. BestView does not look at texts in ACe format (color, pictures) and has a buffer for the file It’s 2 times smaller than mine (although scrolling really rules there)!

Hello Grand In general, programmers have a lot of inertia, and the lack of support for DirSys is generally also an indicator, I myself also planned my viewer for DirSys, but I haven’t got my hands on it yet grown (-;

Hello, SAM style SAM> As far as I have understood, the biggest advantage of this viewer is this SAM> directory system support. And that's it... About six months ago, me too SAM> rapidly developed its little viewer and it turned out a little (much?) SAM> is stronger than GSV. Mine was also designed for viewing graphics, but except SAM> her (screens, two-screen, tricolor) also watches videos SAM> videostudio, animation, texts ACEdit including packaged ones, listening SAM> PT3 and VortexTracker II music, plus basic plays. I suggest SAM> evaluate and compare with GSV. It will be useful for both me and the author of GSV. The software is interesting, but I usually looked at the texts (and other things) when BestView help - perhaps it has no competitors in this. What's really good is the ability to view Video clips and non-standard (two-screen, tricolor) pictures. By the way, where is the normal description? programs? where did the formats come from? I'm talking about packaged screenshots, etc.

Hello, SAM style LView rules, great!

Hello,GriV Gri> AlCo is not AlCo, where can I get it? Should I contact him too? or you Gri> will you give me the results? I'm more interested in the concept of formats and not the decoder Gri> (although decoders are of course needed). What is the concept of the format? Internal structure of the file? Described *.888 is in AlCoNews#13 (you can find it on VT if you want). Source depacker is given there (the format was invented by AlCo himself, which means without half a liter of sake indispensable). Tell me specifically what formats are needed - I’ll try to find something, but I’m not going to open the entire LView source yet.
