Program like GetModeID

[Ponki1986]

Hello, I have searched but have not found anything anywhere. Is there perhaps a program that when run in the CLI will display the current WB screen mode? I found something like this

http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/parsesmprefs

but this one looks for the ModeID in the screenmode.prefs file. I prefer to have the program read it directly from the screen, similar to what SGrab does.

Voilà !

1> GetScreenMode
PAL:HighRes Interlace
1> GetScreenMode id
167940
1> GetScreenMode id hex
29004

No, no. I meant a program that will check, show what mode WB is currently open in.

If the screenmode of thomas WB is PAL HigRes Interlace then the tool does what you want/describe.

My apologies. I misunderstood his statement. I will check if that is what I meant.

PS: I am looking for a program to check if ScreenMode has set WB to 16 Bit so that DGen can run in a window on WB. Then the colors are correct. The same is true for the GnGeo emulator, but that one requires 15 bit.

Thomas thank you so much. Your program is the one I needed. Regards.

I used Thomas's program previously to get the screenmode ID and it works perfectly

No idea how I would achieved this without.

Yes, I mean that one

Thomas by any chance can your GetModeID filter the depth of available modes? I mean, if I need to indicate a screen with a depth of 8 bits, when run in the CLI with the appropriate parameter this one would only list such. Example:

C:GetModeID DEPTH 8

or

C:GetModeID DEPTH 32

I added the DEPTH parameter, but I am not sure if it does what you expect.

The ASLSM_MinDepth and ASLSM_MaxDepth tags of asl.library only limit what the user can enter into the Depth field. Apparently it also filters the list by minimum depth, so if you set MinDepth to a value higher than 8 it only shows RTG screens. But it does not limit the list to chunky or native modes if you set MaxDepth to 8 or lower.
