- Subject: [IML] AMIGA: Render screenmode
-
- I really wonder what the different render screenmodes i can use as my
- CyberVision64 w/ CyberGraphX 3 can not display HAM/HAM8 screenmodes
- correctly on my setup.
-
- All HAM/HAM8 render screenmodes does not pop up as usual with CGFX 2 and AGA
- under the CGFX 3.
-
- I ask this coz' the manual hasn't been read here as i only purchased Imagine
- 5.0 and joined the ACUP project.

- Although Imagine is moving out of the 1.x era, it still isn't 3.x yet ;). In
- this case many mode promotion programs only look at the program name when
- opening a screen, and so the quick render screen is promoted to whatever
- Imagine's screen. Atleast that is the way my system works. Instesad I use the
- following:
-
- --
- /*Quickrender Cyberview*/
-
- QRPALLETTEMETHOD = 'Generate Palette'
- QRLIGHTSOURCE = ON
- QRHORZLIGHT = 20
- QRVERTLIGHT = 20
- QRSHOWPIC = FALSE
-
- QUICKRENDER
- /*
- address command 'sys:utilities/cyberview ram:quickrender depth 15 width 1280
- heigth 960 center'
- */
-
- address command 'sys:utilities/multiview file ram:quickrender pubscreen
- "Imagine_1"'

- HAM is Amiga specific, you can't get anything else to display real HAM. There
- is
- picture viewers that can display HAM pictures on a CGFX card, but they must
- convert the picture first. Imagine can't do that and you can't promote it.

- Umm.. Do you have a video passthrough on your GFX card and you don't get it to
- pass throught anything? Check your CGFX env variables, maybe you have
- nopassthough
- set to 1.

- With Imagine5.0, set the quickrender file format as ilbm 24bit
- (in the preferences editor) and use one of the Arexx scripts on the Imagine
- ftp site to show renders via an external program such as multiview or
- whatever.
-
- With Imagine5.1, it is far easier (you dont have to go looking for a suitable
- script).
- Just select ShowQuickRend from the Arexx menu, and it will use multiview to
- show the render on the Imagine screen.

- I know I posted something about this a while back. One of the ways to get
- Im5.0 to run on a Cgx screen is to use a mode promoter. Unfortunately Im5.0
- opens all its windows with the same name, _including_ the quickrender screen.
- What I do is use the following script instead.
-
- --
- /*Quickrender Cyberview*/
-
- QRPALLETTEMETHOD = 'Generate Palette'
- QRLIGHTSOURCE = ON
- QRHORZLIGHT = 20
- QRVERTLIGHT = 20
- QRSHOWPIC = FALSE
-
- QUICKRENDER
- /*
- address command 'sys:utilities/cyberview ram:quickrender depth 15 width 1280
- heigth 960 center'
- */
-
- address command 'sys:utilities/multiview file ram:quickrender pubscreen
- "Imagine_1" /* all one one line */'
