Re: [ql-users] use of new system sprites from C68?
Just did several different combinations with your array suggestion, including different pointer methods and all give me the red 'X' sprite. I am sure that it is something very simple that I am missing so if you do get a chance to dig up a sample of your working code, I would really appreciate it. Trying to add the new system icons into QDT. Cheers, jim On Sep 14, 2004, at 2:30 AM, Jérôme_Grimbert wrote: James Hunkins wrote: Has anyone used the new system sprites from C68? This would be using it in the window definition which was originally a pointer to a sprite file. I have tried it by defining 2 bytes such as: unsigned short test_sprite = 0x0008;[ byte 0 = 0x00 for a system sprite 0x08 for the sprite number ] and then doing a pointer to its address from the proper loose item field: test_sprite, If I point to one of the normal sprites (with byte 0 = 0x01) I get the expected sprite. But when I do the above all I get is a red 'X' sprite, no matter what sprite number I use. Any ideas? If someone has used the new system sprites, could you supply sample code and instructions? I think I did use the system sprite from C68. I used an array of char instead of a short... It did work, or so I believe. I would have to dig that code if you do not get a better answer. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
[ql-users] use of new system sprites, C68 or assembly
I want to implement the new system sprites in QDT. Do I need to make up new sprites data structures to access these (as per the new sprite format documentation) or are the structures already available for C68 and/or assembly somewhere?

Re: [ql-users] C68 - assembler and web site link problems
Thanks Dave! A few more problems as I looked around, the GD2 LIBC routines link is broken. Also, for the linker LD, the link on the header was OK but the link for the binaries gave me ld2bin.zip (instead of ldqdos.zip). Did get the files and tried updating the libc_a. Unfortunately, it does compile now and link but the program doesn't start. Will retry with a clean install tomorrow.

[ql-users] Tony - US Show
Sorry guys, but need to borrow this to get a message to Tony before he leaves. Tony, the hub I was planning to bring is not functional so I won't have a hub with me. I will bring the long ethernet cable plus a shorter one. Hopefully this catches you in time to pack a hub along. See you (and everyone else coming to the US show) next weekend!

Re: [ql-users] Operating Systems
What happened to all the G5's you were supposed to order :) I can't wait to get the Virtual PC running on my dual G5 so that I can run QPC on it using a 20 panel! Talk about being able to quickly clutter up an oversize desktop (referring to my upcoming QDT!). By the way, has anyone ever stopped to question why you need 64 bit 3.2G processing power to run a word processor or spreadsheet fast?

Does any one have access to broadband networking and a camera, using either Apple's iChat or AOL's new version of the AIM messenger version, who would like to try doing a live video chat - talking about QL stuff of course.
