Once Again, Paradox is back with a utility brought to you by BLACKHAWK!
PARADOX NEVER DIES!!!! THEY JUST SLEEP
SHORT Doc for PARADOX AGA IFF converter v1.0
--------------------------------------------
NOTE: this program only runs on an A1200/A4000.
the purpose of this utility is to have a iff converter
for AGA chipset pictures...
So A500's owners can just continue using the old
converters the difference isn't that big!!
All commands are very simple , and a programmer knows how to use
this program.. Only one BIG difference from other iff converters.
the option FREE COLOURS!!!
When selecting the FREE COLOR INITIALISE.. the program will find
unused colors, and colors using less than 32 pixel in the whole
picture, this option is only for 256 color pictures....
(and only needed for those)
After the program have found the colors, WAIT until the screen
goes back to normal color.. While you have the RED screen do NOT
pick menus and so on.. leave the picture or go in the background and
work on something else while the search is on...
The meaning of the recolor option IS:
It will free the colors used in the beginning of the picture so
you can have the first 32(or more) colors free for use with some
other stuff like BOBS and so on... or Sprites(if Pal. 0/1 is selected)
But the rest is normal, its just like other IFF converter, but
this can load/save 8 bitplanes pictures and in all modes too....
For your own information:
If you're saving a picture as RAW, the palette is saved too, as
a .PAL extension. cannot be deselected(sorry!)!!!
And if you're loading a RAW picture, the program will also look for
a file with the name specified and the .PAL extension..
But the rest is up to you... to find out if you're a CODER!!!.
hmm All coders know how to use a IFF converter! right?
