NetSurf

[arti]

Hello, I'm preparing 3.1 release which will include AGA version.
I need help to modify install script to be able to choose between RTG and/or AGA.

If possible option to select if TCP will be installed to Dosdrivers with text
"Install TCP: (needed fo getvideo)" .

Thank you.

[thomas]

You should never install TCP to DosDrivers. TCP: belongs to the TCP/IP stack and is mounted when the stack is activated, usually by the stack. In case of Miami TCP does not even exist as a file but is activated anyway.

The only occasion when TCP could be put into DosDrivers is in WinUAE because there bsdsocket.library is active from the beginning.

Can`t help but it is possible to install it manually?

[arti]

Here is development version for testing before release:

Hi arti,

Wanted to try NetsurfAGA, but nothing happens when clicking the icon, tried to extract the lha on the amiga same thing.

[arti]

Hello atilla06,

run from console with -v parameter, enter first netsurf folder (in console).

You can use this sequence to check whether you are in an RTG environment or not:

(if (= 0 (run "version >nil: cybergraphics.library" (safe)))
 (set #msg "RTG")
;else
 (set #msg "Native")
)

Despite the name, cybergraphics.library is used by Picasso96, too.

Note that you cannot use the builtin function getversion because it only checks files but not resident modules. Picasso96 creates the library only in memory, not on disk.

[attila06]

ok arti it works,
But colors are not the good ones, colors are the same as your first release.

[daxb]

Can someone upload the archive to TheZone or somewhere else where a simple download works? It seems there is an account needed for dropbox.

[arti]

Zoned.

Artur,

You should talk to Minuous here on EAB to see if he can help with an install script (he has the skills).

Cool to see you carrying on with this port

Have you updated your source to open a 640x512 AGA PAL resolution screen yet? You might as well give people those extra pixels

NovaCoder,

yes I did, wasn't that hard I was thinking of making one executable with RTG and AGA.
That would require adding aga code to sdl_rtg - would that be too difficult ?

I wouldn't add my AGA code to the old SDL RTG, it's been hacked too much to work with the old RTG SDL code

I do have an RTG version of the SDL based on my AGA version (which itself is based on the original RTG SDL), confused yet?

It should be possible to combine my RTG version with the AGA version into a single library, that is a good idea actually. I can't think of any obvious problems off the top of my head. It wouldn't be too hard to combine both of my libraries, it looks like you can pass the driver name to SDL_VideoInit().

I guess the biggest drawback is that my RTG hack only supports 8 bit full-screen.

What did you change, can't you just use original RTG code instead?

Thanks arti for uploading to TheZone! I`ve installed it usning the install script. My system: A1200 040/40 32MB AGA OS3.1 with speeup patches.

My comments:

First, it seems in very early alpha state to me.

Avoid PNG icons for AGA. At least for the install script. It won`t work. I had to lauch the script via shell to make it work.

Don`t waste your time with install script. With some small changes NetSurfAGA could be easily (un-)installed manually.

If you can`t avoid the programs in C folder then let it in progdir: instead of copy them to SYS:C.

Avoid Devs/DosDrivers/TCP if possible and inet-handler too. It seems to is a part of AmiTCP/IP. Havn`t checked but I don`t use it but MiamiDx instead. Don`t knwo if that combination would work.

I guess someone pointed already to ix libs. Avoid it, sorry. Should speed up things.

About themes. If there isn`t a way to live without there schould be an empty theme like the YAM empty theme. In conjunction to this, text buttons are needed as alternative to get most speed on AGA.

Now to the Netsurf screen. It opens a Pal higres interlace screen. It is necessary to have the possibility to change the screen mode. The user should change it via screen mode requester. I would use a DBLPal screen. The indivision user would use other screenmodes.

The amount of colors (depth) of the screen mode must be able to change. I would use a 5 or 6 bit screen instead of 8 bit. It`s faster.

I just launched Netsurf offline. Overall speed was bad. Unuseable I would say. Ok, I got MuForce hits what slow down too. Btw. a lot of hits appear while just move the mouse and click here and there a bit. Do you have a classic AGA Amiga where you can test Netsurf? The most hits where LONG READ from 00000014. I guess it won`t help you but in case here the first hit:

The Requirements in the readme seems to be wrong. At least for the AGA version. With 32MB Netsurf starts at least. Some info about parameter/options that can be used by start would be nice. I read something about "-v". "netsurf ?" don`t show something here.

Please tell me what of my comments is possible or not or you will add. So I can decide if it would make sense to test it further on my config. Thanks in advance.

Brilliant, looking forward to this. Thanks to Arti and all involved in this port.

@Arti:

Can't you make a ReAction version (the OS4 version), instead of sdl ?
Sdl gui is a big show-stopper; thats why I keep on using AWeb!

This has been raised a few times, ReAction would of course be a better front-end than SDL but nobody in 68k land has the time/energy/expertise to accomplish it.

I had a go myself once but didn't get very far, NetSurf is an absolute monster to compile

OK, netsurf doesn't to be installed anymore, yay .

Only one thing, how to execute a script without openig a iconx shell window?

I've set in .info c:iconx.

;TCP: is needed for getvideo

Assign TCP: Exists
IF Warn
    Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf

Assign ENV: env ADD
Assign LIBS: libs ADD

if (= 0 (version >nil: cybergraphics.library ))
    NetSurfRTG >nil:
else
    NetSurfAGA >nil:
endif
