Re: SMSQ/E Colour issue!
I have done some more testing on the Stipples with QDOS, QPC2 & SMSQmulator . There were a number of inconsistencies until I realised that SMSQ defaults with borders around the standard windows. As the Stipple block should start at an even position, this may mess up the starting pixels with an o...

Re: DATADESIGN File Error
BTW, when I press HELP i receive the following error related to PROWESS ... "ATTENTION: The following error has occurred: ProWesS reader". Is it difficult to install the "reader" ? (I'm using real QL GoldCard emulation with SMS/Q E 3.40, Lauchpad 2.14, Pointer Enviroment, ....)....

Re: SMSQ/E Colour issue!
The Jan Jones book (Quanta issue) does not fully agree with your picture. Stipple 0: Top Right is contrast Stipple 1: Bottom two are contrast Stipple 2: two Right-hand are contrast Stipple 3: Top Right & Bottom Left are contrast So Jan Jones is right and the QL manual is wrong, at least with QD...

Re: SMSQ/E Colour issue!
Have you tried older versions of smsq/e as it is astounding that this has not been spotted before, the GD2 colour drivers have been around for at least 20 years and smsq/e itself longer? See my entry on the STAR1 post. I tested PAPER 5,4,3 with an older SMSQE v2.91 and the issue was already there. ...

Re: QSTAR 1
So the operating system is wrong, I think you need to report this to Wolfgang Lenerz Funny nobody seems to have noticed this before. The stippled border around the basic channels starts of white on QDOS & Minerva. It starts with a black pixel on SMSQ (v2.91), tested on Aurora & BBQL. So mai...

Re: Floppy problemsve.
Hi, Maybe there is problems with the floppy disk cable connecting to the QL, if it is gge wrong way around, all the data lies lines will be grounded. Usually the Disk Drive LEDs are both on. Check that the drives are correctly connected in the floopy disk case. Most floppy cables have a notch to ma...

Re: Thor XVI - Request for documentation...
..., though where they'd stick the 'Intensity' signal I don't yet know. If I understood the documentation correctly, the I-bit replaces the F-bit on mode 8 SCR files. It's identical to the way mode 15 works for GD2 sprites, one of the "new" but seldom seen modes introduced by J.Grimbert f...

Re: Messing with Morphing
If you mean picking a colour and finding the numbers you can do that with this QL-Colour Picker.stevepoole wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 5:46 am ...
To finalise all the graphics, I need a 'pantone' routine to select QPC2 COLOUR_NATIVE hues. Has anyone done such a routine ?

Re: QIMSI (EDIT: Correcture)
Can the HISTORY device from Boris also be used with QPC2? In principle it should be possible, but you may have to write a program that links out the history driver from QPC2 and links in the one from Boris. Normal convention is that any LRESPR'd keyword will overwrite existing keywords with the sam...
