- Dear All.
-
- I need some help with some AMOS commands. So if anyone out there
- can help me, with some or all of them could they email me at this address?
-
- 1: LLIST - does this command actually work? AMOS 1.2 and 1.3 both
- insist that the command doesn't exist: does it? If so - how?
-
- 2: CHANGE MOUSE does this work either? I can't get it to run either.
-
- 3: This is quite involved so read on. I want to display a map
- of the game level as the player progresses. This is done by using 16*8
- icons pasted onto the screen. The border to the map is a DPaint picture,
- the centre of which was painted in the background colour.
-
- When the program runs, the icons are pasted down, then the border
- is pasted down over the top. Now, if things worked as intended, the map should
- be seen through the border. However, the program runs, but the hole in
- the border is filled with solid colour.
-
- 3a: Can I make the picture colour 0 transparent?
-
- 3b: Alternatively, I have tried to paste the border down first, then
- write the icons over the top. This works okay, except that the rightmost 8
- pixels of each icon are in colour 0. These should be transparent (I used the
- AMOS sprite editor to design them, with the colour 0 set to transparent),
- but when pasted onto the screen, I get a fringe of colour 1 on the righthand
- side of each icon. I have used the MAKE ICON MASK command, but it makes no
- difference.
-
- Thanks for all of your help.
-
- Mike.
