Hi people,
I'm new to the AMOS list, so be gentle with me pleeeeze! I've been into
AMOS
for years (oo-er and all that), but only recently gotten access to a
modem, so
only recently joined your wonderful mailing list.
I intend to spend a bit of time on the list over the next few months, so
here's
a bit of background information for anybody who's interested:
I used to be in an AMOS demo group called Cybornetics (whaddaya mean
"Who?!",
we released a few demos in the early 90's, the odd (very odd) game too),
and
since then I've been in several other demo groups, mostly as a
graphician but
doing a bit of ASM coding as well. My current group is The Vegas
Gunmen, which
is basically four guys having a laugh at the world through the Amiga.
We use
AMOS for development of 3D routines, stuff like that, then convert it to
Devpac. We're working on a huge demo at the moment, but that's still
ages away
so I've started coding games in AMOS again in my spare time (Ah-ha! So
THAT's
why he's joined the list!).
My current miggy set up is an A1200/Blizzard '30 with 18mb, WB 3.1 and
130mb HD
(which I'm just about to upgrade to a Gig or so). I've got stuff like a
video
grabber and CD-ROM drive too, all running through as 21" surround sound
TV.
Real life wise (yeah, I've got a real life!) I work as a programmer
mainly
writing Windoze apps and stuff like that. I don't own a PC though, 'cos
that
would be nasty. I'm 23, drive a bright red Peugeot 205 XR and buy a
serious
amount of music. My playstation gets a hammering every now and then
too.
OK, so a couple of AMOS questions then, since that's why I'm here...
I need to get my mouse pointer in hires. Simply because chunky lo-res
looks, to quote The Right Reverend Dominik Diamond, Pants! I've already
changed it to a bob (which was saved in hires from the object editor
thingy,
whether or not that makes ANY difference) using "Change Mouse 4" (the
pointer's
the first image in the bank). All the screens are 640*256 Hires, but
the
pointer just stays chunky! Help!
Also, the F1 home page advertises an AGA extension for about 4 UKP. Has
anybody got this? Does it do anything more that the PD Stars extension?
Thanks for you time and sorry this one was so long, I'll make sure the
next
one is four lines at most!
Cheers.
Rob/TVG.
