Short: Rtgmaster User Archive Author: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de Uploader: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de Type: gfx/board This is part of the new rtgmaster release V35.0. rtgmaster is a library system to make GFX Board Compatible Game Coding easy. It supports : - Direct Access to the Video RAM - With some effort the code even runs on ECS/AGA (through c2p) - Supports nearly all WB Emulations (Does not support Retina WB Emulation...), including Support for CyberGraphX and Picasso96 - Alternatively to Direct Video RAM Access on a Screen (Fast) it also supports writing to a Workbench Window (Slower, though...) - PowerPC, using the WarpUP System from H&P. It also runs on plain 68k Systems, though (Fat Binary) - And much more This part of the archive is for the user. It contains Binaries and Demos. The other rtgmaster archive is rtgmaster_dev.lha. The Developper Archive contains Autodocs and Includes for the library itself, this is the User Archive with only Binaries. V21 changes: - Important rtgCGX.library bugfix for 15/16/24 Bit Screens (there is not yet a program using rtgmaster in Truecolor mode, though, most games are these days still 8 Bit, if not to say all) - Workaround for CyberGraphX V41 R55 Bug concerning WaitBOVP. Doublebuffering will now work with the buggy CyberGraphX Version again. (Bugreport already sent). - Installer script finally fixed. V22 changes: - rtgCGX.library some minor updates New in second V22 version (sorry :) ) : - Problems with CopyRtgPixelArray call and Cybervision64 Board should now finally be fixed (so Tiny3D should now work on the CV64 also) V23 changes: - Problems with rtgmaster and MCP and similar tools finally solved (please delete libs:rtg/rtgPICA.library, for this sublibrary it is not yet solved... delete it even if you do not have a Picasso II... the rtgmaster installer now does not install rtgPICA.library automatically, you have to install it manually, if you still use the original Picasso II WB Emulation, and not CyberGraphX/P96 for Picasso II) - Some minor bugs in rtgAMI.library fixed - Speedup of Doublebuffering in rtgAMI.library of 2000% (only, if you use OS3.0/3.1) - Fixed Bug in Screenmoderequester (crash when a Screenmode was chosen using the Keyboard) - Default c2p directory now always is libs:rtgc2p - There probably will be a new version with faster/better ECS/AGA Support soon... V26 changes: - Fixed Buggy Init code that caused rtgmaster to crash on about 5% of Amigas (not on mine, because of that, the bug was unnoticed for a long time) - Added rtgP96.library which contains Doublebuffering for Picasso96. - Fixed "Double PAL Screenmode Bug" - Lots of internal stuff interesting for programmers only V27 changes: - Now runs again on AGA-only systems (sorry for this bug :( Fixed it) - Added info for people still having problems on AGA-only systems to the docs (some people have incorrect startup-sequences) - Added announcement for PPC rtgmaster version V32 changes: - Added PowerPC Support (optional) - Added Workbench Window + Public Screen Window Support - Added Softsprite Functions from Rady Marusa (thanks, Rady :) ) - Added MOUSEMOVE Support - This release runs on both PPC Systems and on Systems without PPC :) - Added new very fast c2p V34 changes: - Fixed PPCGetRtgMsg and PPCReplyRtgMsg V35 changes: - Workbench Window Mode: Added Support for programs that change their Palette while the game is running (up to now this only worked correctly on a Screen) - Workbench Window Mode: Optimized Color-Conversion function much, especially for PPC (thanks to Sam Jordan for the hint to use PPC ASM for this, and also thanks for the example sources he provided to me), but also for 68k. The Colors should also look more correct now - Some programs cannot run on a WB Window, as they change their colors TOO OFTEN for Color-Conversion to handle it. Rtgmaster contains now a special mode that enables the program to change the Workbench Palette (and reset it to the normal colors after Quit), if the "normal" method fails. Of course the normal method should be used if possible. That this "change of WB Colors" might be needed for some programs (Crystal3D...) is not the fault of rtgmaster, it is the fault of the Workbench Screen, that has a limit of how fast Colorchanges are allowed on the Workbench (Colorcycling for example will NOT work on Workbench Screen) - rtg_BusSystem now also recognizes AteoBus (Pixel64) and PCI (Inferno) - CV/3D is now correctly reognized as "Zorro 3" (was recognized as "Zorro 2" before), if present in a Zorro 3 System - Some small fixes and stuff ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 624 252 59.6% 14-Mar-97 12:28:42 +dat.info 25444 19469 23.4% 14-Mar-97 12:28:42 +tables.dat 8256 428 94.8% 14-Mar-97 12:28:42 +world.map 14040 8158 41.8% 13-Feb-98 23:41:58 +flame 18132 11046 39.0% 13-Jan-98 15:33:02 +mandel 126188 54839 56.5% 13-Jan-98 15:32:56 +mywolf 4869 2504 48.5% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a2.pcx 4730 2326 50.8% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a3.pcx 3284 545 83.4% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a4.pcx 4705 1936 58.8% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a5.pcx 4222 1643 61.0% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a6.pcx 3700 986 73.3% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a7.pcx 624 250 59.9% 14-Mar-97 12:28:40 +pcx.info 3076 268 91.2% 14-Mar-97 12:39:00 +a.pal 928 456 50.8% 14-Mar-97 12:29:34 +a.pal.info 4222 1643 61.0% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a0.pcx 6566 1773 72.9% 14-Mar-97 12:29:30 +a0.pcx.info 3089 1343 56.5% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a1.pcx 3571 1127 68.4% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a10.pcx 3593 1313 63.4% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a8.pcx 3571 1127 68.4% 14-Mar-97 12:29:40 +a9.pcx 162 64 60.4% 14-Mar-97 12:29:34 +gfx.lis 3297 881 73.2% 14-Mar-97 12:29:34 +statback.pcx 3064 1301 57.5% 24-Mar-97 14:01:26 +flamme 49040 25767 47.4% 24-Mar-97 14:01:32 +moon 8784 4994 43.1% 17-Oct-97 20:08:24 +rtgAMI.library.v27 12372 5154 58.3% 17-Oct-97 20:08:56 +rtgCGX.library.v27 11452 4899 57.2% 17-Oct-97 20:09:34 +rtgEGS.library.v27 50996 24208 52.5% 17-Oct-97 20:14:32 +rtgmaster.library.v27 12880 5265 59.1% 17-Oct-97 20:09:38 +rtgP96.library.v27 4848 2624 45.8% 03-Feb-97 07:30:16 +rtgPICA.library.v1 813 445 45.2% 15-Jan-98 20:06:32 +Readme.Old.Stuff 5480 2859 47.8% 18-Feb-97 20:01:16 +rtggadtools.library 820 576 29.7% 14-Oct-96 14:33:52 +chunky4 2024 1062 47.5% 13-Feb-98 23:40:32 +cpu040 1576 855 45.7% 11-Jan-98 21:40:06 +ecs 1344 736 45.2% 19-Sep-97 13:02:04 +gd 1640 862 47.4% 11-Jan-98 21:36:16 +leony 860 456 46.9% 08-Jan-98 11:55:42 +Suzy 6804 3822 43.8% 13-Feb-98 23:27:54 +rtgextra.library 89120 32576 63.4% 13-Feb-98 23:27:42 +rtgmaster.library 624 253 59.4% 22-Nov-95 11:37:48 +RTG.info 23612 11374 51.8% 13-Feb-98 23:26:14 +rtgAMI.library 51188 20875 59.2% 13-Feb-98 23:23:54 +rtgCGX.library 16444 6868 58.2% 13-Feb-98 23:27:02 +rtgEGS.library 31568 12686 59.8% 13-Feb-98 23:22:00 +rtgP96.library 624 251 59.7% 24-Mar-97 14:23:10 +rtgc2p.info 1840 834 54.6% 19-Sep-97 13:02:00 +040 23708 2931 87.6% 24-Mar-97 11:43:08 +flamme.iff 9766 3152 67.7% 24-Mar-97 11:46:56 +mandel.iff 94720 60139 36.5% 13-Feb-98 23:45:14 +zhadoom.iff 624 248 60.2% 24-Mar-97 14:25:36 demos.info 1352 715 47.1% 26-Jun-97 19:46:52 Goodies.info 5181 1521 70.6% 15-Jan-98 21:08:38 install_rtgmaster 1238 458 63.0% 24-Mar-97 14:25:26 Install_RTGMaster.info 624 252 59.6% 24-Mar-97 14:22:44 libs.info 624 250 59.9% 24-Mar-97 14:22:48 pics.info 36902 5229 85.8% 24-Mar-97 11:45:12 +flame.iff 17958 7864 56.2% 24-Mar-97 11:46:10 +moon.iff 23414 13711 41.4% 24-Mar-97 13:51:28 +mywolf.iff 47829 16483 65.5% 13-Feb-98 23:41:42 rtgmaster_user.guide -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 904650 398932 55.9% 17-Feb-98 23:36:34 61 files
