Subject: (fractint) Re: [fractal-art] Re: Fractal Contest 1999

Concerning the categories, I agree with Michael.
I think there should actually be one big categorie, in which all the entries
are all placed. And the voters would judge *all the images* on several
points, like use of color, general beauty, expression, etc. After all, when
somebody writes a movie, he or she doesn't write it focussing 1 particular
Oscar (or other award).

What I mean is, that if you send in your fractal, thinking the colors are
beautiful, you might still win the 'Best mechanical device'-award 'cause the
majority saw a screwdriver in your image... Or you see just an hammer and a
scythe while most voters appear to see the Russian flag, and you'll win the
'Best expression'instead of the "Best mechanical device"...
In this case, the 'entry limit'-problem will also dissappear, i guess.

I hope you know what I'm trying to say,

cubic

Subject: (fractint) Windows makemap.exe

The error I get with trying to run makemap.exe is:

    Unhandled Exception
    Exception #32760 (no message available)

Does anyone recognize this error, or have any clue as to what it might
mean?  It is related to bwcc.dll, since I get a different message if the
dll isn't present.  It probably isn't related to the makemap.exe, but a
configuration problem that I have.

I redownloaded the makemap.zip.  Tonight I'll try a different copy of
bwcc.dll to see if that is corrupt for some reason.

Thanks.



Ken...

Hi David, I was not able to get the colors
to run- looked like nice images but in the default
palette even after taking out the double spaces.
I found that if you put your own line breaks in
in a medium length  line in the text editor
before putting it into Netscape that it doesn't mangle
it.

Mitch,

 - I have been unable to get the contest rules.

Try accessing the contest web site directly:

    http://www.fractalus.com/contest98/

The "main index" page of fractalus.com sometimes causes problems with
IE3.02, which I'm still trying to track down.

Hi Kathy,


I am resending the pars to you with a "window" adjustment in Eudora (I
don't use netscape for sending mail...). I was hoping just reducing the
font size of the entire package would preclude line breaks...evidently
not.

Lavender, at least, was posted to abpf, and I posted a couple of other
"candys". If these contain line breaks also and the colors will not run,
I can always reduce the size to 640 and send the gif to you if you would
like.

I found physically viewing 91 pics from one category almost a nightmare. By
splitting them into groups we can enforce a "reasonable" limit so as to aid
viewing and enjoyment. With the oscar - i thought the movie/cast etc was
nominated into a category correct me if I am wrong with all categories being
available at the start. A two fold competition, semi-final and final so to
speak. Or perhaps this is what we need. I would also be interested in 2nd &
3rd place getters as all images are very good.

Those worked fine. Very nice pars!  I'm not sure what the
problem is- it's easy enough to take out the double spaces
and to fix it if there is a \ in the middle of <...> but it still
sometimes
seemed to be corrupted in some way.  The color sequence

Subject: (fractint) pasiion_balls

Well, while everyone is waiting for the contest results or
frantically tallying their vote, I thought I would post some more
of  my formula splicing efforts.  I thought these were really
interesting but limited.  The successful ones are in the contest
or waiting for after it and the other ones are, um, filling up my
hard drive.   I hope no one minds me mangling up their formulas.
This is a combination of Kerry Mitchell's evocative passion-frm
and Paul Carlson's flexballs.

MMAP can be executed from the Win95 "RUN" icon.  You can get it from my
website
at Geocities.  It used to be called MAKEMAP also, until I found that the
name had
already been used.  And you might want to try XMAP, on my website with MMAP.

Damien,
This is great news.  I was thrilled yesterday morning when I found that
the download had completed (taking all night) ... I had to get hold of a
download manager to have any success (Go!zilla did the trick) and use a
new PC with the necessary disk space.

But I soon realised it's going to take me more time than I have free to
view all the entries as thoroughly as they deserve.

Meanwhile I have my screensave set to cycle through the images.
Excellent!

Joe

Hi all,

I am pleased to inform you that the full contest site is mirrored at

Might be useful for european "fractalists".

If you experience some problem, send me a private mail, I have had no time

Thank you.  I've downloaded them.  I want the graphical makemap to work.
I'm to lazy at this point to mess with making maps with the more manual
methods.  Plus, it's now more of a mission to figure what is messed up
on my system that is preventing makemap from working.  :-)




Ken...

Ken,

My makemap.exe runs just fine under Win95, with the bwcc.dll file, which you say
you have. On the other hand, I have a file called bwcc32.dll, which, frankly, I
don't know what it is for. The name suggests some relationship, so if you would
like to try it, e-mail me personally and I will send it to you to try (206KB).

Subject: (fractint) FractInt's crashing

Hi,

Would someone on this list be willing to help a lurker with a problem?

I'm running Fractint under Win95 in a 1024x768x256 background video mode,
batch-generating fractals from Les St. Clair's collection of pars (through
May 1998).  This has been successful (I have 1277 GIFs, using 344 MB) until
just recently, when I got a message that it's performing an illegal
operation.  When I tried DOS mode, Fractint just freezes.  When I manually
load the params that Fractint is crashing on, they work fine.

I just completed a reformat and reinstall of Win95, so the installation
should be clean.

Any help that you could give me would be welcome.

Thanks!

Joel Iwashige

Subject: RE: (fractint) Windows Makemap.exe

A word from the developer:
I wrote Makemap 4 years ago. It is a 16 bit app developed using Borland
C++. It needs bwcc.dll, not bwcc32.dll. I have had good intentions of
upgrading the app to 32 bit, but my hectic work schedule has prevented me.
I am currently traveling almost 90% of the time. Over the years I have had
occasional reports of problems under Win95, but I have been unable to
reproduce them on my system, which is also running Win95. The long term
solution is for me to find the time to upgrade it to 32 bit :-).

Subject: (fractint) Make map?

    Hello

    Am I to understand, according to a current exchange of postings, that
there is a program that automatically makes 'color maps'?  How long has
that been out, if such there be and if such there be, how would one find
out more about it and will it dispense with humans? :-\ ?
    It sounds like a neat idea,(again, if there is such a thing) for the lazy
man approach - and the quick-strike approach.  But not necessarily for the
'artistic' approach.
            Thanks

Ray,
The most recent version was posted over 4 years ago, and it has migrated to
several FTP sites. It is available for download on my web site.
http://members.aol.com/RBarn0001. You will need bwcc.dll to run the
program. The dll should be available free at a number of sites on the
internet.
