AGA Mode 640x200 (or also 640x256)

Nightshft · 13 November 2019, 13:49

Hey guys,
just a little problem showing a picture in Blitz mode (coplist display).

I just want to show an image which is 640x200x256.
So the display mode should be AGA, hires, no interlace.
and it nearly works, but I can't get the colors right - the Palette is messed up.

Code:

WBStartup

;create bitmap 0
BitMap      0,640,256,8

filen$="dh1:assets/bhc/bhc2b-aga.iff"
;normal 640x200x256 aga picture
;looks fine in dopus and dpaint

LoadBitMap  0,filen$,0
;load file to bitmap 0 and palette 0

BLITZ

;define display
flgs.w = $10000+ $1000+$100+8;
;in my understanding:
;$10000 aga colors
;$1000 fetch mode 1, needed because of hires
;$100 hires (640 wide)
;8 bitplanes

InitCopList     0, 44,256,flgs, 8,  256, 0
;               cl y  h   type  spr cols cust

;DisplayControls 0, 4,$0c00, $00  ;experimental, didnt help

DisplayBitMap   0,0
DisplayPalette  0,0  ;use palette 0 at coplist 0

CreateDisplay   0    ;show it

MouseWait

End

The picture is displayed, but the palette colors are messed up.
It's like half of the colors are ok and the other half is completely wrong.
Do I need DisplayControls to make changes to the palette - or where's the bug here?

Thanks!

PS: i've already read the thread AGA Mode 640 x 400.

I think flgs needs to be long since it exceeds 16 bits.

Hah! That was it! Thanks a lot!!
Picture shows up perfectly now.

What a stupid mistake - such a classical "bug". If you assume the problem to be in a or b you won't even take a look at c.
And I went as far as playing around with "DisplayControls"
