re: imagine 3.2 config file: had to use new config file because they added several new fields to it. In talking with 'arv', it seems a personal config file of one of the developers got shipped to users (ouch!). I guess my point is that they should assume 'nothing' when…

#Amiga kbhit() & getch()
Message #41975
getch() I am trying to port one of my C++ programs to Amiga GNU C++ 2.5.8. The problem is the program was originally developed under MSDos and makes use of calls to 'kbhit()' and 'getch()'. These functions apparently do not exist in the Unix world, but must surely exist as…

UNSW Prolog (HELP!)
Message #37835
Help! Is anyone else having trouble with UNSW Amiga Prolog. I just downloaded UNSW Prolog 4.2 (68000 & 68030) from Compuserve to keep from using the cast-iron VAX at the local university. The Amiga prolog refuses to 'consult().' my programs, and locks up solid when a command-line filename is supplied.…

Wildcard Search

Hello- I'm a C++ programmer who lives in both worlds; The Amiga and MSDOS. I've written an image post-processor that compiles on both platforms, and I would like to be able to handle multiple files as specified by command-line wildcards. Under MSDOS all files matching the expression "pic.*" can be…

Help: Video out
Message #28010

Help: Video Out
Message #91587
Is anyone aware of a reasonably priced (under $150) board or adapter that is capable of converting Amiga-2000 RGB output to CLEAN color- composite or Y/C (SVHS/HI8) signal. I already have an A520 RGB->composite adapter, but the output looks like mud, even when recorded on Hi-8. I don't need anything…

Imagine SLICE?
Message #46615
Hi; Every time I sit down to use Imagine (2.0) I learn something new, but one area of operation has got me stumped. The SLICE command almost always gives me the dreaded "Error: an edge is too close to an edge, or too near to a face". My original background…

I am having difficulty with two areas of Imagine 2.0. 1. I am a CLI user, and often delete rendered PIC.xxxx files from the CLI. The problem is that when I try to perform another render session after deleting previous PIC.xxxx from the CLI, Imagine thinks all those deleted files…
Imagine Questions

I am trying to generate long (400-800 frame) animations on my system, and I would like to know if Imagine can call (execute) a script file following generation of each frame. I would like to compress/offload each frame as it is rendered to free-up space for the next frame. I…
