DPaintIII: page larger than screen problem

kjf · 28 January 2024, 15:32

Hi, I'm hoping to rework some old animations made in DPIII on a A2000. I'm working with WinUAE 4.4.0. When I try to open the files in DPIII, I get the message:

"can't animate with page larger than screen".

No matter how I set the Page Size or Screen in DPIII, I get this error when trying to load my files. I can set the page and screen sizes to make new animations, but can't load the old ones, which I seem to recall were made as full screen overscan. I can preview the animations via AmigaVision, so I know the files are valid. Can anyone help me to figure out how to configure things so that I can open these in DPIII? Thanks! -Ken

Maybe check the overscan prefs in Workbench? Just a thought.

Thanks. Where would that be? I don't see anything in the Workbench menus or in Prefs. Let me know, please, where that setting is.

I think it might be a WinUAE issue - DPaint resets to 640x200 after I try to load the animations. I've tried as many settings as I can locate ...

What version of Workbench are you running? Also keep in mind that P96 overrides Graphics.library so disable UAEGfx and use a chipset emulation with DPaint always.
