Subject: Re: max file formats shaktazuki: you can have a look at this file from the resinstaller: http://maxthegame.dyndns.org:8080/...er/pcx.cpp there are functions to read and write sdl surfaces from/to pcx files. |

Quote by Eiko: shaktazuki: you can have a look at this file from the resinstaller: See, this is why I get so far behind To use Eiko's approach, I need to also learn how to use SDL surfaces, which means I need to practice that too, and to use Beko's approach, I shouldn't use SDL surfaces! What am I supposed to do? Eiko - thanks for bringing that part of the reinstaller to my attention. By the way, are you guys going to make that reinstaller patch I submitted part of the official code? |

Subject: Re: max file formats which patch are you talking about? The one for the wave file extension is already in the code. |

Subject: Re: max file formats make a revert and then update. Then you should have the newest code. |

Subject: Re: max file formats Eiko - with respect to the PCX, maybe you can help me - suppose I am using the basic 16 - color EGA palette with 4 color planes, and I want to encode a scanline that is entirely blue to a file. What form would the scanline data have? Weird about the reinstaller... |

Subject: Re: max file formats hm, sorry, i don't know how the pcx file looks like, when using a 16 color table. But, why do want to use a 16 color palette? This is a quite uncommon format for a graphic file. I would suggest using a 8 bpp pcx file. |

Subject: Re: max file formats Just for simplicity; technically, I only need 4 colors. I'm trying to represent a resource distribution for MAX using PCX for ease of visual inspection. I've decided to go with 16 color bitmaps instead (since they're fully documented, where PCX seems not to be). |
