Just found a nice way to improve the graphics for the PC version. See the attached picture. Left is improved, right is Amiga original (zoomed to 200%).

Sorry for bumping this topic once again (mods: feel free to join my posts), but I've just compiled a first tech demo of Shenandoah for Windows using DarkBasic. This is the work of only two days, so don't expect too much:

Seems like your graphics card can't do 640x480@16bit.
//edit: recompiled and link updated, does no longer try to set a fixed resolution now. |

Same error but it gets a bit further.
Do you have two checks or something? I get a tech demo window but it's the second window that chucks out the error |

Works over here, but it is windowed. Looks and scrolls nice, just keep up the good work.

If it helps I'm also using laptop with Radeon 200M on Win XP SP2, it can display 640x480.
@KG Strange that your laptop doesn't support 640x480, first time I hear something like that. Isn't windows logo while loading in 640x480? |

Weird... seems I can set the minotor to 640x480 when I go into "List All Modes" but not in the display options.

That's normal KG
On my old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (which has a Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade-XP card) I also don't have 640x480 in the Display Properties --> Settings tab. If I then click Advanced --> Adapter and finally List All Modes... it is there |

Some elementary gfx uploaded.
file: basegfx.zip Just seen the posts about not using gif... guess what format I chose??? :P I don't think it will cause any problems on these graphics anyway since none of them uses more that 16 colors and it's all from the same palette. Is it necessary for me to place all the gfx in a 16*16 pxl grid? It's quite time consuming and wasn't done in the past. Tell me if you need further descriptions. Thanks.

Wow, seems like the game was to be more complex than I thought. A lot of questions are coming to my mind already -- like what's the Boostgate for? -- , but before I start asking, I need to get the game engine done (any info is useless until I can make use of it ).

Great, that saves me tons of time, which I don't have, so it's perfect.
Tunes composed for the game are now uploaded to the Zone. More gfx is on the way by the end of the week. File: shentunes.zip The boostgate is for the last level where you have to pass through the gates in order to gain enough speed to catch up with the Shenandoah and bring her back. I'll see if I can find the backstory also. Is it possible to read amiga textfiles on a pc? |

The tunes are great, thanks for providing!
I see there are a couple of theme and title tunes, do you remember which one was ultimately decided to become the title tune? Moreover, what's the purpose of LVLSEQ1.mod and LVLSEQ2.mod? They were already included in the source code archive you uploaded a few weeks ago, and I thought they are the background music for level one. Seems like I was wrong... Quote:

Actually I have no idea about the tunes anymore, I haven't listened to them in years and years. Pick the ones you like most for now.
The LVLSEQ1 & 2 I suppose are fot the first and second half of levle one... |

//edit: LVLSEQ2.mod is the same as LEVEL5.mod, so it's meant for level 5. Only LVLSEQ1.mod left... Last edited by derSammler; 12 March 2007 at 11:55. |
