On my system it didn't work. It immediately returns with error code 1.

Anybody having problems can try it with the attached Rygar executable instead (copy it to the disk, same level where "Source" is). Works for me and the copper bug is fixed.

what was the problem?

Uploaded rygar.adf in the zone. Works if you start rygar.68k from workbench 3.1 ECS. I tried from 1.3 but hangs.
Works also for ks 2.05, 68000, workbench 3.1 ECS. Works for 68030, AGA, Workbench 3.1.

Not Bad. I have few issues corrected about bobs and scrolling.

I took a stab at assembling this after correcting the stuff posted. Starts OK with 68020, crashes on 68000. This line caught my eye.

Code:

BuddiesMaskL	dc.b	":devpac/Rygar/Gfx/EnemiesRaw/BuddiesMask.raL",0

BuddiesMask.raL does not exist but BuddiesMaskL.raw does.
VASM on 11-year-old Windows PC can assemble before the echo of enter key dies.

EDIT: OK. Turns out it runs on 68000 after all. Originally crashed on KS2 when running from PC directory. However, running from floppy worked. So it's something else.

There is an RTS before the game starts. You open libraries and exit.

The code doesn't match the source text in RygarSource.asm which you provided. My recompiled executable also contains the fix for the data section, which I mentioned here: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=390

that rtss was for test, to see if the error that i got was about reading data. sooner I'll update source code with some fixs

Ok, some fixes done. Updated .adf

Next work on full rygars' background collision with halls and obstacles.

@Nobody

can you try to reduce backgrounds' color to first 16 on our palette? If we can have a good visual quality we can have some optimization.

Can yuo provide me enemies sheet with frames aligned and flipped to?

nobody · 19 May 2015, 16:57

It will not look good because the actual palette is the last 16 colors, the first ones are only filling the gap between the beginning palette colors.
Maybe there is some tool to grab from iff file? Even backbone does this.

Codetapper provide us a zip file in the Zone with all gfx into one file, you could look there

nobody · 19 May 2015, 17:44

I mean the buddies frames. Isn't there a tool to grab them from IFF?
The background will not look good with first 16 colors. We said 32 colors and did the palette for 32 colors not 16+16.

Ok. For baddies, you can use what you did. They look good. They need to be aligned and have flipped frames too

Amiga1992 · 19 May 2015, 20:30

This only seems to run with 2MB RAM.

saimon69 · 20 May 2015, 02:31

@sandruzzo

Don't remember if was posted earlier but maybe this can help you with ideas on how to set the BG copperlist on show more colors:
Agony - Franck Sauer Blog

saimon69 · 20 May 2015, 21:43

Actually this is even more impressive;
however i think that with a clever copperlist you can handle the background with just some 4 color sprites so that should also give a bit more variety and less DMA

sandruzzo · 21 May 2015, 06:01

Thanks saimos69.

So far we have interaction with background, still workiing on it

sandruzzo · 21 May 2015, 08:27

No we have interaction with obstacles.

Mates, i can upload a BlitzBasic2.exe version of a rolling map featuring a Rygar sprite within the next few daYs if you don't get your shit together. It is just sad, sorry.(said that without looking into last progress)

sandruzzo · 23 May 2015, 08:14

@Cylon

Are we doing same work? Should I stop??

Can someone provide me the enemies position on the map? I just need baddies type and his position x-y then I'll put them in the screen and see how much horse power do we have.

Just coordinates and type into .txt file

@Nobody,

what about baddies sheet?

saimon69 · 23 May 2015, 09:46

A better version of the in-game music: changed the bass and reviewed the pattern order
