- Short: From disk anim&sound player. RE IML
- Type: gfx/show
- Author: c9251116@zeus.huddersfield.ac.uk (Mr RL Collier)
- Uploader: gowdy@v2.ph.gla.ac.uk (Mr SJ Gowdy)

-
- The archive contains just a demo to show you speed/smoothness/samples etc.
- The full version should be out before too long (but without AGA - See NOTE).
- The GUI is getting major re-design.
-
- INFO:-
-
- The file is UUEncoded and Archived (LHA). The contents are:-
-
- FXPLay - The stand alone player
- Ham.Anim - A 320x256 Ham animation (might be 320x512, cannot
- remember!)
- Ham.FX - The FXPlay script file.
- Spring.smp - The sound sample!
-
- (Hopefully), all you will have to do is to unarchive into a directory and run
- Ham.FX by either
-
- SHELL:-
- FXPlay Ham.FX
-
- WORKBENCH:-
- Double CLick on Ham.FX
-
- First off, try viewing the Ham.anim with BigANIM. You should (hopefully) see a
- difference!
-
- The anim whas just a crappy one I did in DPaint yesterday afternoon. Its 100
- Frames.
-
- I am afraid I have not had much time on it but looking at the code again, I
- rekon I will be able to speed it up and make it a wee bit smoother, optional
- jiffies too I hope! The interface (not included) is coming on quite nicely now
- with only a couple of bug-lets in there.
-
- I have quite a bit of work on at the mo so could someone have a go with a
- 320x512 anim with more screen change and let me know how it goes. To do this,
- you will have to save it in the same directory as the archive files and rename
- it to Ham.Anim. CHEERZ.
-
-
- ********************* NOTE! **********************
-
- The player will only do standard res/modes. This means screens like :-
-
- Max 320*512 - Up to Ham (not 128, 256 or Ham8)
- Max 640*512 - Up to 16 colours.
-
- I am afraid the AGA has NOT been implemented (YET!) so it is a bit more
- limited than some other players (Except of course this will do sound!!)
-
-
- FUTURE:-
-
- If I can get a little more time on the proggy I should be able to get the Ham8
- (1/4 million) and 24 bit working too. There should be an option for doing
- Looped anims but I'm having a wee bit of trouble when looping using DDA.
- (Tends to F*ck up a bit like BigANIM does on large vistas).
