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.
My program SETW, which produces window definitions for C68 programs using
CPTR sets the following for all the system sprites:
static short SYS_SPR[] =
{0,1,2, 37};
This array contains the definitions for all 38 system sprites. For example
SYS_SPR + 6 gives the move sprite and SYS_SPR + 10 the sleep sprite.
I gave a list of the sprites in an article in QL Today Vol 8 Issue 3. (See
page 23.)

No problems - plenty of other code work to do over the weekend on QDT :) I appreciate your help!

Jerome, Since no one else has jumped in with help on this yet, would you mind digging through for a sample of your 'C' code showing the proper use of the new system sprites. It would really help me a lot. Thanks, jim On Sep 14, 2004, at 2:30 AM, Jérôme_Grimbert wrote: James Hunkins wrote: Has anyone used the new system sprites from C68?

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

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?
