- The full working VideoTracker v2.0 is send to all 22 registered users at
- 18-7-94, if you are a registered user and haven't received it: contact me.
- (Mail to the USA can take up to a week.)
- My internet-address has changed to:
- PV.Campen@inter.nl.net
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This version is debugged for high end Amigas like the 4000/40.
-
- I bought an expansionboard with:
-
- 68030 at 28mhz + MMU, 68882 at 28mhz, 4 meg fastram and a clock.
-
- The routines in the v1.42 version, didn't make good use of fastmem,
- that's changed now.
- I rewrote VideoTracker and all routines to make maximum use of fastmem
- and the results are good:
-
- As an example, the memory usage of the Bonzai video:
-
- Size Fastmem Chipmem
- VideoTracker v1.42 1547k 75K 1473k
- VideoTracker v2.0 1600k 756k 844k
-
- It saves a lot of chipmem like you can see.
-
- I also used Enforcer (MMU needed) for debugging VideoTracker, moduleplayers
- (ProTracker) and some routines. (CopperMagnify)
- Some routines didn't look well on NTSC (tunnel.rot), I fixed them to.
-
- There is a way now to make VideoTracker react on music from a CD-player,
- tape, or a live mixing DJ.
- I have a rebuilded 3-way lightorgan connected to my computer, instead of
- sending the signals to lightbulbs, it sends them to electronic switches that
- are connected to a Joystick-plug.
- I made a player that reacts on signals from joystick port 2, I've put a
- testvideo called "Joystick" on this disk.
- The video must be 8 songpositions, it reacts on left, up and right, the
- button selects the next songposition, when it's at 8 it restarts at 0.
- For better bass and hihat reactions, you can add an Equalizer.
-
- New or improved routines:
-
- CopperColor
- CopperMagnify3AGA.rot
- PictureFade
- PictureWipe
- Vector
-
- The Vector routines can now handle 8-color geo-files.
- There are example-videos of the new or improved routines on this disk.
-
- ============================================================================
-
- Routinename: CopperColor
- Authors: Peter van Campen
- Description: This is a simple but nice effect, it needs a Colorset of
- 256 colors and shows the colors form top to bottom using the
- copper.
- You can put a picture on top of it.
- It can handle 24-bit colors in the AGA version.
- It is used in the Women video.
-
- Routine mode Description
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 0 Shows the colors on screen with no movement.
- 1 Scrolls the colors up.
- 2 Scrolls the colors down.
- 3 Scrolls the colors up fast.
- 4 Scrolls the colors down fast.
-
- ============================================================================
-
- Routinename: CopperMagnify
- Authors: Peter van Campen
- Versions: 4,8,3AGA 4AGA
- Description: Takes a HAM-brush, and rotates and magnifies it in a
- copperlist.
- The routine doesn't use the blitter, but is still very
- fast.
- I didn't use the blitter to get very high speeds on
- 680++ Amigas.
- The maximum height of the brush is 256, the maximum
- width is 256.
-
- Version 8 shows the picture in pixels of size 8*8, it
- uses the complete view-screen.
- This version doesn't need a picture, so you could use
- it with a picture in front of it. (dual playfield)
- You can add an empty picture over it with the routinemode
- to prevent dual playfield.
-
- Version 4 shows the picture in pixels of size 4*4, it
- uses part of the view-screen.
- This version uses a picture 192*192*32 to get the small
- 4*4 pixels, it doesn't use the routinemode.
-
- Version 4AGA shows the picture in pixels of size 4*4, it
- uses the complete view-screen.
- This version uses a picture 384*288*256 to get the small
- 4*4 pixels, it has a special 3D tunnel mode which is used
- int the "Bonzai" video.
-
- Version 3AGA shows the picture in pixels of size 3*3, it
- uses the complete view-screen.
- It uses a new trick to get the full screen 3*3 pixels.
- This version uses a pictureline 384*1*128 to get the small
- 3*3 pixels, it has a special 3D tunnel mode.
-
-
- Routine mode Description
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 0 Don't use an empty picture on screen.
- 1 Use an empty picture on screen, this prevents dual
- playfield effects. (Only used by version 8)
- 16-31 Shows the brush in a 3D tunnel and moves in several ways,
- (depends on the routinemode), only in the 3AGA and 4AGA
- version !
-
- ============================================================================
-
- Routinename: PictureFade
- Authors: Peter van Campen
- Description: This is an AGA only routine, it is not possible on OCS/ECS
- Amigas.
- This routine can fade 2 16-color pictures through eachother.
- You have to use this routine with 2 black 16-color dual
- playfield pictures on screen, and their palettes as
- colorsets.
- Look at the example-videos or the Women-video to see how
- it's exactly done.
- The routinemode is the speed of the fading.
-
- ============================================================================
-
- Routinename: PictureWipe
- Authors: Peter van Campen
- Description: This routine can show a picture on screen with a nice
- effect like flipping a page or zooming out.
- At this moment the routine is not finished yet, but I
- made an example video to show you what's the idea.
-
- ============================================================================
