splitraster+ v8

OK, Not the greatest but I am having fun

[CraigsBar]

OK Guess who this one was done for?

future version will handle screens up to 273 lines for full full full screen and also tiny screens low to 16 lines (for logos, title, ...)



I'm currently working on an editor. When all settings are done, the screen may be locked to run bitmap editor then...

each time the cursor is changing line, the screen palette (at the upper-right of the screen) is updated
the sprite palette is active when there is at least one HSP on the line
the green cursor outside HSP (represented by blue squares) has obviously mode 0 size

Roud: don't miss to used cursor keys to move pixel editor cursor

Roud: don't miss to used cursor keys to move pixel editor cursor

it's ONLY keyboard to move the current pixel because there is one palette per line. Using mouse is too confusing.
still a last bug to fix with backups before release

[roudoudou]

new version with pixel editor in the first post - thank you to READ again the first post for new keys
this is still beta and there is no palette edition (until the next version)

[roudoudou]

better ergonomics in the new executable 
you may use cursor key to move current sprite and space to toggle zoom sprite positionning view or sprite mask edition

[Deckard]

usage -> splitsdl.exe <pngimage>

the software is supposed to handle PNG pictures of 384 pixels width and any height from 16 to 273 pixels

IF not, a crappy resize will be done (NOT recommended)


Keyboard in quantization mode:

+/- to change current hardware sprite selection
T to enable/disable squares around hardware sprites
G to generate scr and asm files
L -> lock the bitmap and go to pixel edition mode
ESC to quit

Keyboard in pixel edition mode:

U -> unlock the bitmap, all handdrawings are lost
cursor to move current pixelleft shift + cursor to speed up a little
space to apply current selected color
keypad . and 0 (OCP style) to change current selected color
and again G to generate scr and asm files
B to put a background pixel over a sprite hard (enable transparency and put background color when inside an HSP)

ESC to quit

The software was presented during a Twitch live session



Here is a capture of the tool and two CPC+ cartridges so you may test yourself the performance


outputed files with a <file>.png image:
- <file>.xml settings file
- <file>.sc1 & <file>.sc2 binaries for screen files
- <file>.spr file for HSP data (packed 4+4bits)
- <file>.asm file for raster code
- <file>cpr.asm in ordre to generate a ready to use cartridge (use RASM to compile it!)

Je dois être idiot, je ne trouve pas le lien de téléchargement du logiciel...

Merci à toi ! Je viens de le trouver sur le post cité également !Maintenant, il buggue chez moi... Il se lance, puis disparait instantanément...Etrange...

The solution is the 1st line of this topic: splitsdl.exe <pngimage>You may drag'n'drop a png image into it, if you are not familiar with command line

[roudoudou]

new release, many fixes since last time (PNG with low palette-bit handling, bmp support, MacOS version...

and for this release, bayer matrix dithering with high flexibility

Tried this out today but seeing these errors from rasm_x64 using the output from the included renegade PNG

Code Select Expand

rasm_x64 -oa renegade384cpr.asm
Pre-processing [renegade384cpr.asm]
Assembling
Error: [renegade384cpr.asm:40] Invalid first char in label declaration (')

Offending lines:

Code Select Expand

ld bc,#10FF: ld hl,HSP_coordinates: ld de,#6000: ld a,9 ; sprite zoom like mode 1
where HSP_coordinates is defined in the renegade384.asm file. So I removed the single quotes from this line:

Code Select Expand

read 'renegade384.asm'
Then I added an 'include renegade384.asm' at the start, but still got this:

Code Select Expand

Assembling
Error: [renegade384cpr.asm:40] relative offset -210 too far [RASTALOOP]

Any ideas. Newbie with using RASM, in case there is some parameter I missed?

you are right, i miss some deprecated instructions left in the assembly generated so...

change the READ with an INCLUDE or get the last nightly build of splitRasterPlus

[darkhalf]

Thanks. I grabbed that build and it worked 

For giggles I did also try and build the Windows (win64.bat) version but having troubles as there is a bit of stuff missing (header files, libraries etc). Perhaps include with the GIT project in a ZIP file? Sourced and built with SIL2 2.30.2,  lpng1640, TRex project but struck issues with FnMatch (part of GCC included with Cygwin) which failed to compile here

windows build is painful and need many externals/libraries to be build, it's not relevant to polute the git repo with all the stuff needed
