#Cel and zoom weirdness
4 messages in this thread
Hi Dave,
(1.) Is there a known bug involving pasting cels and use of the zoom function?
I believe I'm using Ani Pro 1.3. I'm taking a 2 x 240 cel, and pasting it
into a 2 x 480 workspace. That works fine. But my 'puter keeps locking up
when I bring the cursor into the zoom window to paint. I believe it's happened
when pasting while the zoom window was open too. This happens even when I have
a vanilla boot.
What I'm trying to accomplish is an RGB mask to fieldify two sets of
images in Video Post. The 2 x 240 cel works fine when I render at the
appropriate resolution, but I now want to render at X x 480. I thought I'd
just paste two cells, one on top of the other.
(2.) Is there an easier way to get an X x 480 set of alternating black and
white lines, one pixel in width? I painted them by hand, which took a while.

not to my knowledge.

can we see your system files? (AUTOEXEC and CONFIG) for any memory management
going on? also, what are your current switch setting son PharLap?
c:\ani> cfig386 ani.exe
will report this.

sure. several. the easiest i can think of would be to use LINE tool to draw
line at top of screen. create cell using entire line and the blank line
immediately beneath it. then use FILL tool using TILE ink. bingo.

Dave,
Here's my vanilla system files:
CONFIG.SYS
Buffers=20,0
Files=30
AUTOEXEC.BAT
path=c:\dos;c:\windows
c:\mouse2\mouse
>> c:\ani> cfig386 ani.exe <<
"Configured switch values: None."
>> FILL tool using TILE ink. bingo.<<
I had never use the tile ink. Worked great, thanks!

hmm. looks okay, although hi highly recommend buffers=40 and files=40. might
also want to add a
shell=c:\dos\command.com /p /e:512
statement to your CONFIG.SYS. reboot after mods and let me know what happens.

glad to read it.
