Short: IFF ANIM DataType V1.8, now supports saving of IFF ANIM
Author: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Uploader: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Type: util/dtype
Replaces: util/dtype/animdtc017.LhA
IFF ANIM DataType, a replacement for (little bit) buggy CBM anim.datatype.
animation.datatype subclass.
Shareware !
Starting with V1.8, anim.datatype is shareware. See "anim.datatype.doc/MAIN"
for details
Features are:
- Can save it's local format.
anim.datatype supports DTM_WRITE for it's local format, e.g you
can save animations in IFF ANIM using this datatype.
Supports currently IFF ANIM-3 as output format, other formats
are on the way.
- Supports sound.
Any sound (loaded with a sound.datatype subclass) can be attached to the
animation.
If you want, you can read-out this animation+sound as an IFF FILM stream
(using DumpDTAnim (Aminet:gfx/conv/DumpDTAnim#?.LhA)) and make a
playback using film.datatype.
- Per-frame-colormaps (e.g. palatte change per frame). Using DBufDTAnim
>= v1.2 (Aminet:gfx/show/DBufDTAnim) or animation.datatype V41, you can use
this feature.
- Supports all (currently) defined ANIM compression modes:
- ANIM-0 ILBM BODY
- ANIM-1 ILBM XOR (disabled, no test files)
- ANIM-2 Long Delta mode
- ANIM-3 Short Delta mode
- ANIM-4 General Delta mode (disabled, no test files)
- ANIM-5 Byte Delta mode
- ANIM-6 Stereo Byte Delta mode
- ANIM-7 Anim-5 compression using LONG/WORD data
- ANIM-8 Anim-5 compression using LONG/WORD data
- ANIM-J Eric Grahams compression format
- Compression modes can be mixed in any way (e.g. ANIM-5 with ANIM-J etc.).
- Interleave counts can have any value (not limited to 1 or 2 frames back),
maybe 255.
- Should be safer than the CBM version. Includes stack checking code and
many asserts to avoid crashes.
- Random frame access (even to deltas).
- Supports clipboard as input.
- Dynamic loading of frames (disk-based) or caching the whole anim in memory.
- Preference file with various options and per project settings like
- Viewmode ID
- Frames Per Second Rate
- VERBOSE option which shows the internal structure of the animation stream
(used compression modes; animation dimensions and other attributes).
- Sound attachment with
- Volume control
- Matches the "DataTypes" proposal.
Future versions will implement:
- SAMPLESPERFRAME / PERIOD options to set the length and playback-speed of
the sound.
- Frame skipping (by compression type and/or by frame number).
- Dynamic timing.
- Color cycling in an animation.
Bye,
Roland
