Ya Ok, umm how did you do that Lurah?

Umm, dude,. pressing ALT+ENTER while running QB will put it into a window... if thats whats you wanted to know..

I use standard QB colors, they grew on me b4 I found you could change 'em... heh heh,..

As for FB,. I use the standered color sceme that comes with Von's FBIDE, and reading over the color souce to make my own,..

I'll put up a screen of that when I get somthing good,.

Ok, don't hate me PLEASE....

Oh, BTW thanks Rattra for the window command

....

How do you get the pic from that window to this window? I know that pressing Ctrl+Print Screen will get me a copy but I can't paste it here...

Umm, you don't need to hold Ctrl while pressing PritnScrn, unless you want the window... but PrintScrn works in fullscreen mode too, just hit it and exit or press ALT+Esc to minamize QB.

To get pics here, you need to put it on your webspace and then use:

Code: Select all

<IMG SRC="www.com/dir/mypic.png">

to get it up here...

Ok, thanks, but I thought it was Ctrl+ESC to minimize?

And I did try the PrintScreen and Ctrl+PrintScreen both while it was in full screen with no luck might I add.

Hmm, works for me, just hit PrintScrn itself full mode, or in the window,. paste it to MS Paint.. it should work, also, the screen should slightly flicker when you copy it... in full screen DOS ne way..

Yah, btw. I noticed that after pasteing it on ms-paint DONT save it straight as jpg or gif mode. For some reason it messes it. Save first as bmp, re-open and save as jpg or gif

Mitth'raw'nuruodo · Post by **Mitth'raw'nuruodo** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:29 pm

DONT'T do that cause those extensions Screws up the colors....instead just keep it as a .bmp of course I didn't try the .jpg so try that...

Mitth'raw'nuruodo · Post by **Mitth'raw'nuruodo** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:56 pm

Ok, Here's my try, I've double-checked everything, and if it doesn't show my internet hasn't put it up yet to my site.

*Note: use .JPG, .GIF's color sucks, and .BMP is too big.

Ok here it is:

NO

,.. its a good start to batch converting, but MS Paint lacks such a thing... Here use this thing:http://www.irfanview.com/, Na_th_an gave this to me over at QBNews, its free... use it to batch convert..

BTW, with this, convert your BMPs to PNG,. there like GIFs just lighter and faster loading..

Z!re · Post by **Z!re** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 5:25 am

*sigh*

BMP = Uncompressed
JPEG = Lossy compression
GIF = Lossless compression, only 256 colors!
PNG = Near lossless compression (the best)

GIF can get weird colors if you have a BMP above 8bit color depth

And for crying out loud! NEVER EVER EVE use BMPs for online purpose!

Consider the image I posted as BMP... it's 3.8MB care to wait for the download?

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:03 am

3.8 Meg,.. heh, my comp runs so slow I wouldn't notice the diff.. heh heh..

Just try waiting for a 13Meg pic to load ofline, bout the same, I deleted that one.

was a collection of pics... but yeah, PNGs are the way to go, I'm convering all my BMP on my harddrive to PNG..

*sigh*

My pic still hasn't shown up yet....

Umm, check your URL, go back to Edit and copy it to your browser.. if that doesn't work.. go and find where you put it on your FTP or whatever you use, then copy the correct adress back here, its what I do to make sure I put the right URL..

Well now I know why my avitar didn't load from my site....wrong sub domain name. heh he.

Well here it is NOW.

<img src="http://www.pngusa.net/~mnetsch/Images/IDE.PNG"> Well I hope that does it...

Yep it works! This is a peice of code in my game that formaly loaded 3 sprites from a .txt file that contained number DATA of the indivdual pixels.

Very inefficient so I am switching to BSAVE/BLOAD.

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 2:15 pm

That code,.. it takes up so much space!!!

I did somthing simular in alot less lines,.. but it was for fixxed 80*80 code, tho... oh well...

Mitth'raw'nuruodo · Post by **Mitth'raw'nuruodo** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 2:18 pm

Well as I said you sacrifice optimization for elasticity sometimes, but now that I can do it shorter with BSAVE/BLOAD. he he no need for that.

BTW you were wondering why it was 64 KB?
It was mainly that + like 20 other codes like that. For my other pics....he he....

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 2:31 pm

Heh heh, right... say you see that up arrow under help,.. u can click that and knock that Immediat code box down for more coding space,. or hit (F6) and remove it altogetther..

Just chack and make sure you didn't maximize it... Immediat will be were your "Filename.BAS" should be if you did, or your code dissapers, but hitting (F6) a few more times will get it back....
