Documentation needed Graphics.libary (about AGA Sprite/pointer)

[CFou!]

I need your help for EOB1 aga project indeed i need documentations of AGA updates of graphics library about AGA sprites/pointer management?

FreeSprite/GetPointer/ChangePointer etc.....

how use BPLCON2 BPLCON3 BPLCON4 ($dff104/$df106/dff10c) aga specification on WB?

are it limitation on WB of AGA sprite possibilities?

Maximum size of pointer? Maximum color of pointer? (on WB)

How select sprite palette (i need colors 192 to 223 for normal items)

Thanks in advance

Most likely nobody has never used OS sprite functions

it means that if Bertrand finds the way to do it, he will be the ONLY guy
to know how it works ^^.

no found now the solution

2 problems with graphics library (i dont wnt use direcltly DMA register for upper compatibility):
- How change sprite palette with graphics.library ($dff10c) to set sprites color of 208 to 223
- How display 16 colors pointer on OS39 (no problem with old OS it's seems)


Here original EOB1 code which work on os39 if SETPATCH are not loaded

Have somebody an idea???

here doc but it's seems Atach bit don't work on 3.9 with pointer???

If you want to have some fun you can reserve sprite 1 and set
the SPRITE_ATTACHED flag. Since sprite 0 is already used by
Intuition as the pointer, sprite 1 would be attached to the
pointer, and you could have a 15 coloured pointer! (Whenever
Intuition moves the pointer (sprite 0, which is the Bottom
sprite), your sprite (sprite 1, Top Sprite) will move
automatically.) (You can change Intuition's pointer by calling
the function SetPointer. See chapter 2 WINDOWS for more
information.)

Finally, I have found solution to fix ECS/color 16 colors sprite pointer code on OS3.9 (I have just to change screen position =>not 0,0)



now my last question is:

How in the OS to change BLPCON4/$10C DMA register ?

Indeed by default $dff10c=$0011 in the copper list of my intuition screen (to select second 32 colors palettes for sprites)

I must set $dff10c to $00cc to select the palette 13 for sprite

Have you an idea to change it using OS-Friendly code? it's last problem to finish EOB AGA conversion


PS: I can change it my-self in the copper list but is not a good solution
