- patchgels 0.1
- -------------
-
- The driver software of some graphics cards seems to introduce a bug with the
- GELS animation system, causing the system to crash if animated bobs are used. If
- this is the case for your system, it can be resolved with the patchgels program.
-
- INSTALLATION:
- Simply put it into your WBStartup drawer and start it.
- If it is started a second time it tries to remove itself from memory.
-
- OPERATION:
- The graphics.library/DrawGList() function is patched. Normally, if the BOBSAWAY
- flag is set in the Flags field of a bob, DrawGList() should remove it from the
- screen, from any double buffering memory and from the gels list. Afterwards, the
- BOBNIX flag should be set. This works if no graphics cards are installed.
-
- At least one of the "RTG" graphics systems seems to introduce a bug in the GELS
- system (at least with AmigaOS 40.70, A3000), because setting the BOBSAWAY flag
- results only in removing the bob from the screen, not from the gels list.
- However, the RemIBob() function works normally.
-
- After patchgels has changed the DrawGList function, it first calls the original
- function, then scanns the gels list for bobs, which are removed from the screen
- but not from the gels list. If one is found, the error is corrected.
- Normally this does not happen, so if no "RTG" system is installed, this patch
- should do nothing.
