- Short: Rtgmaster User Archive
- Author: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de
- Uploader: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de
- Type: gfx/board
-
- This is part of the new rtgmaster release V35.0. rtgmaster is a library system to make
- GFX Board Compatible Game Coding easy. It supports :
-
- - Direct Access to the Video RAM
- - With some effort the code even runs on ECS/AGA (through c2p)
- - Supports nearly all WB Emulations (Does not support Retina WB Emulation...),
- including Support for CyberGraphX and Picasso96
- - Alternatively to Direct Video RAM Access on a Screen (Fast) it also
- supports writing to a Workbench Window (Slower, though...)
- - PowerPC, using the WarpUP System from H&P. It also runs on
- plain 68k Systems, though (Fat Binary)
- - And much more
-
- This part of the archive is for the user. It contains Binaries and Demos.
-
- The other rtgmaster archive is rtgmaster_dev.lha. The Developper Archive contains
- Autodocs and Includes for the library itself, this is the User Archive with only
- Binaries.
-
-
- V21 changes:
-
- - Important rtgCGX.library bugfix for 15/16/24 Bit Screens (there is not yet
- a program using rtgmaster in Truecolor mode, though, most games are these
- days still 8 Bit, if not to say all)
- - Workaround for CyberGraphX V41 R55 Bug concerning WaitBOVP. Doublebuffering
- will now work with the buggy CyberGraphX Version again. (Bugreport already
- sent).
- - Installer script finally fixed.
-
- V22 changes:
-
- - rtgCGX.library some minor updates
-
- New in second V22 version (sorry :) ) :
-
- - Problems with CopyRtgPixelArray call and Cybervision64 Board should now
- finally be fixed (so Tiny3D should now work on the CV64 also)
-
- V23 changes:
-
- - Problems with rtgmaster and MCP and similar tools finally solved
- (please delete libs:rtg/rtgPICA.library, for this sublibrary it is not
- yet solved... delete it even if you do not have a Picasso II... the
- rtgmaster installer now does not install rtgPICA.library automatically,
- you have to install it manually, if you still use the original Picasso II
- WB Emulation, and not CyberGraphX/P96 for Picasso II)
- - Some minor bugs in rtgAMI.library fixed
- - Speedup of Doublebuffering in rtgAMI.library of 2000% (only, if you use OS3.0/3.1)
- - Fixed Bug in Screenmoderequester (crash when a Screenmode was chosen using the
- Keyboard)
- - Default c2p directory now always is libs:rtgc2p
- - There probably will be a new version with faster/better ECS/AGA Support soon...
-
- V26 changes:
-
- - Fixed Buggy Init code that caused rtgmaster to crash on about 5% of Amigas
- (not on mine, because of that, the bug was unnoticed for a long time)
- - Added rtgP96.library which contains Doublebuffering for Picasso96.
- - Fixed "Double PAL Screenmode Bug"
- - Lots of internal stuff interesting for programmers only
-
- V27 changes:
-
- - Now runs again on AGA-only systems (sorry for this bug :( Fixed it)
- - Added info for people still having problems on AGA-only systems to
- the docs (some people have incorrect startup-sequences)
- - Added announcement for PPC rtgmaster version
-
- V32 changes:
-
- - Added PowerPC Support (optional)
- - Added Workbench Window + Public Screen Window Support
- - Added Softsprite Functions from Rady Marusa (thanks, Rady :) )
- - Added MOUSEMOVE Support
- - This release runs on both PPC Systems and on Systems without PPC :)
- - Added new very fast c2p
-
- V34 changes:
-
- - Fixed PPCGetRtgMsg and PPCReplyRtgMsg
-
- V35 changes:
-
- - Workbench Window Mode: Added Support for programs that change their
- Palette while the game is running (up to now this only worked correctly
- on a Screen)
- - Workbench Window Mode: Optimized Color-Conversion function much, especially
- for PPC (thanks to Sam Jordan for the hint to use PPC ASM for this, and
- also thanks for the example sources he provided to me), but also for 68k.
- The Colors should also look more correct now
- - Some programs cannot run on a WB Window, as they change their colors TOO
- OFTEN for Color-Conversion to handle it. Rtgmaster contains now a special
- mode that enables the program to change the Workbench Palette (and reset
- it to the normal colors after Quit), if the "normal" method fails. Of course
- the normal method should be used if possible. That this "change of WB Colors"
- might be needed for some programs (Crystal3D...) is not the fault of rtgmaster,
- it is the fault of the Workbench Screen, that has a limit of how fast Colorchanges
- are allowed on the Workbench (Colorcycling for example will NOT work on
- Workbench Screen)
- - rtg_BusSystem now also recognizes AteoBus (Pixel64) and PCI (Inferno)
- - CV/3D is now correctly reognized as "Zorro 3" (was recognized as "Zorro 2"
- before), if present in a Zorro 3 System
- - Some small fixes and stuff
