CyberbugfixAGA - how to enable

[Bloodwych]

Thanks daxb and Mad-Matt for the extra info.

Well, if someone can explain to me how to get this working on normal Amiga configs (like a standard A1200+ fastram) and it's better than what's currently in use, I'll add it to the packs.

At the moment, I just can't get it to work, plus the MuForce hits sound bad. Although I think I was told not to use JanoEditor in the past as it generates MuForce hits, but I left it in as it works great!

[daxb]

I use JanoEditor and noticed that it throws hits when you start it a second time (editor is running then start again). From other problems I don`t know (if there exists). So you don`t start it twice. If you can`t remember that (like me ) I wrote this small ARexx script that does it for me:

/* Start JanoEditor if not allready started. Optional: load a given file */

PARSE ARG filename

ADDRESS COMMAND

JanoEditor = 'Tools:Text/Jano_v1.01/JanoEditor'

/* Start JanoEditor if not allready started */
IF SHOW('PORTS', 'JANO') THEN DO
    'RequestChoice >NIL:' '"JanoEditorStart Script" "JanoEditor is already running!" "OK" PUBSCREEN=Workbench'
    EXIT
END
ELSE DO
    'WBRun >NIL:' JanoEditor filename
    DO 2 WHILE ~SHOW('PORTS', 'JANO')   /* checks 2 times for JANO REXX port */
        'waitforport JANO'              /* waitforport waits 10 seconds. If SHOW JANO REXX port then leave */
    END
    IF rc = 5 THEN SAY 'ERROR: Unable to load JANO!'
END

It uses WBRun and the variable "JanoEditor" must be adapted (full path to JanoEditor). Optional it loads a given file as argument. Useful with a filemanager like DOpus.

i put c:cyberbugfix from this archive : http://dariog.republika.pl/download/cgx-aga.lha

[Bloodwych]

I'll take a look at that daxb.

Foul, that archive seems to contain the right files in the right drawers! Plus the missing CGX-AGA. I'll take a look, thanks.

[daxb]

The archive Foul used is version 1.0. However, I get with both (1.0, 1.1) the same hits. If a asm coder is interested and may have a look:

Cyberbugfixaga archive (source included):
http://eab.abime.net/attachment.php?...2&d=1104424404

Here the MuFoce (when cyberbugfix is started) hit what seems to be line 131 in source: move.l fib_Size,a1.

working for me

i put c:cyberbugfix from this archive : http://dariog.republika.pl/download/cgx-aga.lha

I quickly had a look to the archive and it seems c:CyberBugFix is the same file as in my archive in Devs/Monitors/CyberBugFix

[Bloodwych]

I will get this to work Frog! I will damn it!!!

I would suggest to start with a basic (defaut) startup-sequence and simply add CyberBugFix.
Then if it works add one after another your other patch.

Nice bug... I fixed it, check the attachment. I didn't test the executable though so use at your own risk.

[Mad-Matt]

Could this bug fix patch be integrated into the cgxaga driver , just to make it one less patch ? or , can it be determined if the patch is even needed with the included cgxaga driver as I suspect thepatch was written for the phase 5 version of the cgxaga driver that is packaged with cgxv3.

[Bloodwych]

Ok, managed to get this working after starting fresh with all patches disabled (as Frog suggested) and no Scalos - YAY! Saves about 30-50K in CHIPRAM when a lot of icons are open in a window compared to without it. Haven't done comparisions in a Scalos run Workbench yet.

You need in C:
CyberbugfixAGA (CGX-AGA doesn't seem to be required)
WBCtrl (essential it seems)

You need in Libs:
cgxsystem.library

You need in Env-Arc:
The prefs for supergels, planes2fast etc

You need in FBlit:
To disable FAllocbitmap

You NEED ALL OF the following in the the Startup-Sequence file:
Cyberbugfix (after FBlit)
WBCtrl IMT=ICONFAST (just before LoadWB)
LoadWB SIMPLEGELS

Now why didn't you guys just say that in the first place!

Then it will work. Now the testing for compatibility begins......

Do you also copy cgxsystem.library to LIBS: and Prefs/Envarchives/CyberGraphX to ENVARC: ?

it seems i told it
I don't think WBCtrl is needed

[Foul]

i only use Cyberbugfix + the Cosmos' graphics.library ... nothing else .. and it works

[Bloodwych]

Perhaps you guys are using different libs, like the graphics.library mentioned above, patches etc, but WBCtrl is definitely required in OS39 and also the cgxsystem.library. Without it, I got no real CHIPRAM savings. Might also be the reason I couldn't get it working in Scalos.

All I know is if I remove any one of the above mentioned things, it fails to save much CHIPRAM beyond what I get with FBlit and WBctrl only.

Why I couldn't get it to work might be down to what patches I have running in the Scalos and none Scalos packs. I'll just have to test now and see what works and doesn't. The main thing is I've seen the light!

[Mad-Matt]

In OS39, you set icons to fastmem in Workbench prefs , no need for wbctrl.

A couple of tweaks to fblit, and you dont need simplegels either.
"QBSBlitPatch installed, AddBobPatch/RemIBobPatch un-installed"

That might be the answer - I must admit, I never use OS39 that much but indeed there is a setting under Workbench prefs to put images in "Other RAM". Never knew that covered icons as well, as I remember trying it in the past and it did nothing. Probably because FBlit wasn't installed.

[Bloodwych]

Well CyberBugfix is now part of the OS3.5 and OS3.9 future packs as an enable or disable option. Enabling or disabling the option also sets the relevant FBlit settings. I'll probably also add it to the LITE version. Currently using Stingray's fixed executable linked above for testing - thanks!

Scalos versions suffer from missing icons with the patch. Will have to look into that further, but if it doesn't work it's no big loss in those due to the way Scalos window tasks are handled via FBlit..

I've also used Mad-Matt's advice and disabled SIMPLEGELS by altering the FBlit settings and used the OS3.9 Workbench prefs settings to handle what WBCtrl does in OS3.5.

WBCtrl SIMPLEGELS and default FBlit settings are still used in the Alternate safemode boot.

Another thing I've noticed, in OS3.5 AWeb had corrupt browser icons. All other ClassicWB packs display fine, including the OS3.9 pack which has the same aka datatypes. Adding Cyberbugfix however has fixed the corruption!!! This is in WinUAE.

[Frog]

It's strange that you got some missing icons with Scalos & CyberBugFix as i used Scalos & CyberBugFix myself and got no problem at all.

[Bloodwych]

I'm aware you use Scalos Frog - but is it as a full Workbench replacement? And what version of Scalos do you use? What version of Workbench do you use?

This is using Scalos 1.2d as a full Workbench replacement in Workbench 3.0 using FBlit and the 4.6 Newicons lib (tried HE, ME and LE versions).

It's not so strange considering all the different things you can do to a Workbench install. No two Workbenches are exactly the same! If you don't mind, can you post your Startup-Sequence? I may then be able to figure it out. It may also be a factor of running in WinUAE.

EDIT: Tried on a patch free startup-sequence and the NewIcons still disappear on a Scalos replacement Workbench window running in WinUAE.

[daxb]

I just wonder nobody else has noticed or mentioned the bug. Maybe some debugging tools like enforcer/muforce/sashimi/... should be added to the very popular "all-in-one WB install archives" available?
