OUT and INK commands

[billamu]

So I was experimenting with a screen mode I saw in a game published here. It uses a bunch of OUT commands to lower the vertical resolution.

Code: [Select]

10 MODE 0:BORDER 0
20 OUT &BC00,0:OUT &BD00,127
30 OUT &BC00,4:OUT &BD00,18
40 OUT &BC00,5:OUT &BD00,15
50 OUT &BC00,6:OUT &BD00,15
60 OUT &BC00,7:OUT &BD00,17The problem is that INK commands no longer work, and I want to change the palette while in this "MODE".
Does anyone understand why changing INKs doesn't work and how to fix it?

the system updates colors every frames, you need to disable this part of the system

Code: [Select]

10 MEMORY &8FFF:DATA 21,F9,B7,C3,DD,BC:FOR i=0 TO 5:READ A$:POKE &9000+i,VAL("&"+A$):NEXT:CALL &9000

But Roud, you kill refresh !!!
Problem is that int are double time with your R0=127.
So you got 3 int per Frame instead of 6.And Color refresh is done after 3rd int...

I don't think it's good. Billamu want the color refresh.Solution is to bring up color refresh on priority system int gestion.#BCD7 can be a solution.

Hi GOB & Roudoudou.
So I was tinkering with it, and found that I could still get the colour refresh as long as I didn't try to clip (shorten) the height of the screen (ie:

Code: [Select]

OUT &BC00,4:OUT &BD00,x:OUT &BC00,5:OUT &BD00,x).
So what you're saying GOB is that by using these out commands, it clips the screen at the 3rd int, therefore it never reaches the colour refresh?
Am I crazy to think I could have my cake and eat it by clipping the display starting at the 4th int?
And to be up front, I'm trying to make something for the 10 LINER compo and I can't use M/C without it ending up in the WILD category.

For anyone still interested in this problem, I worked it "OUT" (hehe).
No, literally! Use the OUT command to force a palette swap:

Code: [Select]

OUT &7f00,pen:OUT &7f00,inkMind you, pen and ink are using hardware values.
