FLIPLAYER version 2.5 (c) Kai Bode
FLIPLAYER for the rest of Us
-
The FLIPLAYER is a program , for the Atari ST with the one the
from the Autodesk-Animator generated Flick-Files (*.FLI) read in and
monochrome play can. The program reads with it the file picture
for picture in the memory a and converts\ed it after black-know(s).
If all pictures read in are, can the Filmchen with adjustable
speed played become. By the Exit can the
uncompressed Film saves\ed become (Attention, this Dateiformat
will(_be) possible. In later versions not supports\ed, lift you therefore the
original FLI's at).
Systemvorraussetzung
-
Atari ST (other untested , but should too go). Empfohlen will(_be)
a resolution of ST-High upwards as well as a hard drive.
Call
-
1. Program
FLIPLAY [-num] [file name]
num = Farbschwellwert, (s.u.).
filename = Either a FLI-File or a uncompressed Film.
If here nothing entered will(_be), appears the
Fileselectorbox.
2. Accessory
Call you the file in FLIPLAY.ACC around, put you it at the
root directory and boot new or load you the program in Chamäleon
of Karsten Isakovic.
Please observe: A Accessory may after the start not durable memory
possess. From there will(_be) FLIPLAYER the straight loaded Film only as long as
keep, as no program started or ends\ed will(_be). After it appears
by the call again the Fileselectorbox.
Operation
-
The Arbeitsablauf for every file is
*.Fli -> parameter feed -> Convert -> Play -> Save
*.Fl2 -> Play
1. Parameter
If one no parameter in the command line pass has, comes as\than
first the Fileselectorbox at the screen , where one a FLI-file or a
unkomprimierten Film select can. If a uncompressed Film
selected became, will(_be) it immediately played. If a FLI File selected
became, appears a dialogue-box, in the one the Farbschwellwert and the
Dithering give can.
To this a explanation:
There we a multitude of brightnesses antreffen (until to 256) is a
Schwarzweissdarstellung often unzureichend. In order to the brightnesses to
simulate, become it at a big(ger) number of points distributes\ed.
This process call one dithern. Nevertheless can it better look, if
one instead of the Dithern only a Schwellwert employs\ed,that from a
certain Helligkeitswert of black at white umschaltet. The FLIPLAYER
2.5 supports\ed two. A üblicher value for the geditherte display
is 55, a good value for the Helligkeitssteuerung without dithern is
15-25. Try out!
2. conversion
After choice of the value begins the Konvertierungsvorgang. FLIPLAYER
tries\ed the unkomprimierten Film in the memory abzulegen. Should the
storage space not sufficient, receive\d you a warning and the Film
will(_be) only once displayed. The Konvertierungsvorgang lasts right long,
so that more a Diashow as\than a Film runs out. If the Film however in the
memory pass, will(_be) it after the Konvertierungsvorgang in höherer
speed played.
During the conversion, not however by the Play of the ready Films,
can one through Press of 'F' or click at the window again the
Farbschwellwert change. One can new values feed and in each case per
<Return> at the present picture work allow. The dialogue-box allows/ed as\than
Tasteneingabe only Escape, Return, numbers, Backspace, as well as d/n for
Dithern or not. The new colour table works however only from the at present picture, what a lustiger
effect is. One should however, around a homogenen Film to receive\d,that
file again of origin at read in (ctrl-N).
3. Play
If one a unkomprimierten Film read in has or a FLI-file
converts\ed has, will(_be) the Film with maximum speed played.
This agrees at the 8 MHZ ST approximate(ly) the speed 3 at the
IBM-PC Abspielprogrammen. The speed lets (self) per '+' and '-'
keys correct.
4. Save
If one the program leaves or the Accessory shuts, can one the
Film save. The size caculation (self) from (128 + frames * 8000 Byte).
A such Film is very fast in the Invite and plays immediately in full
speed from. For that is the colour data lose.
Operating elements and keys
-
The window serve (self) as one it expect should,that close button
ends\ed what too always in the window passes\ed. The Close of the
top window ends\ed the application i.e.. shuts the Accessory.
The window allow (self) at the Desktop move.
Otherwise will(_be) the program with keys serves\ed.
General
Help Kontextsensitive help
in the top window
Ctrl-Q,Q,ESC program End or ACC close
+,- by the Play changed speed
Ctrl-N new file read in
mouse click Auswahldialog offers by the FLI-Convert "New file" and
"Farbschwelleinstellung" other only "New file"
F During of the Einlesens a FLI-file calls the dialogue-box
to the Farbschwelleingabe at.
In Farbschwellwert-dialogue-box
RETURN takes value at, if a entered became. So can one
the Look several Schwellwerte with the help a picture
control.
With the first query ends\ed it too the dialogue-box, there
one still nothing see can.
ESC Ends\ed the Box without the last value to accepted.
Backspace To the Delete the input.
N/d Dithern a switch off (only on the origin meaningful)
Accessories, Gemini, Ease and the VA-protocol
-
Under some alternative Desktops as Gemini and Ease is it possible,
contact with a regular Accessory to pick. This function will(_be) in
FLIPLAYER used, around the program to call and if need be. A new file to
pass (VA_START). If FLIPLAYER as\than .ACC loaded is, can one through
the Drag a new FLI or FL2 file at the entry FLIPLAYER.Acc
this pass. FLIPLAYER will(_be) the possible(ly) loaded file delete and
with the pass over start. A Double click at FLIPLAYER.Acc causes\ed
a call as the Click on of the menu input.
Thank you note

On Werner Buthe the in spite of my nächtlicher calls always to hilfreichen
Auskünften ready was, Karsten Isakovic, Jürgen Härder and the other Helfern from
the Mausnetz, Dr. R. Grothmann without its Easy Lib it this program not gäbe,
Steffan Eissig for Gemini (anyway).
