>> Interesting... but most trackballs are a PIB to try to use as mice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How so? Is it because of the fact that 'clicking and dragging' is awkward,
|
||
|
|
or am I missing something? If the TB has a click-lock would this make it any
|
||
|
|
better?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I like the idea of trackballs over mice because I'm generally a messy person
|
||
|
|
and have stuff scattered all over my desk. Trying to use a mouse requires that
|
||
|
|
I clean off my desk! :-) It's also been my experience that TBs stay a lot
|
||
|
|
cleaner than mice and require less maintenance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Didn't make it to Fry's yet, but maybe today or tomorrow. $79.00 for the
|
||
|
|
combo looks much more appealing than $55 for the keybd + $60(+) for the mouse.

I consider having room for my mouse as important as having room for my cpu
|
||
|
|
<grin>. Trackballs usually lead me to having cramps in my hand, they tend to
|
||
|
|
'drift' when I try fine movements (especially in a paint program), especially
|
||
|
|
so when I have to hold a button down while rolling the ball.My mouse seems to
|
||
|
|
stay fairly clean.... of course, I generally only roll it on its mousemat. :) I
|
||
|
|
agree, the $79 does look appealing... but I've also been eyeing the MEI compact
|
||
|
|
keyboard... :) --Eet--

I have downloaded Dungeon Deptd v. 1.5 and i can't seem to get it to run. The
|
||
|
|
programs loads but when it gets tio the 3rd screen, that is the title screen, i
|
||
|
|
get an "Error 43" has occurred in the dungeon". I =have= loaded syscall,
|
||
|
|
inkey, and gfx2 into memeory, each with a load command, before running the
|
||
|
|
game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Can anyone give me any clues as to why the programs always crashes at that
|
||
|
|
point with this error?

Mark - just for grins, try merging gfx2/inkey/syscall into one file, and
|
||
|
|
loading that... instead of loading each separately. That way they take up only
|
||
|
|
one 8K block instead of three, which could cause error 043 on trying to map
|
||
|
|
something else in.

Kevin,
|
||
|
|
Kind od weird, but merging gfx2, Inkey, syscall =and= gfx into one file and
|
||
|
|
loading that before running the game did the trick. After I got off CIS
|
||
|
|
yesterday, I dug through my old COS notes and saw something about B09 not being
|
||
|
|
able to find thing unless they were mapped into the same 8K chunk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Been a while since I been around... and now you U.G. Pres?!?! Gosh. (grin)

Hey, glad to see you back, too! <grin> Messing with your coco again, eh? Or
|
||
|
|
still?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The basic09 thingie is simply because there are only eight 8K blocks possible
|
||
|
|
within any 64K ram map. By merging those programs and loading them as one file,
|
||
|
|
os9 sticks them right beside each other... so they end up in one block instead
|
||
|
|
of three.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Basic itself is 24K (3 blocks) long. That leaves 8-3=5 blocks left. Take away 3
|
||
|
|
more for 24K of data space, and you've got 8-3-3=2 blocks left. Obviously gfx,
|
||
|
|
inkey, and syscall won't fit if they're separate! (that is, unless you force
|
||
|
|
basic to Kill them and so unmap them... a time-waster).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SO whatcha been up to? And what machines do you run now? A PC, I bet ;-)

Merging syscall/gfx2/inkey into one file will definately take care of the
|
||
|
|
problem. The Dungeon Depths is a memory hog with only one 8k block free after
|
||
|
|
running. But, of course, this block is then taken up by syscall/gfx2/ inkey.
|
||
|
|
When merging, don't forget to change the attributes on the new file and
|
||
|
|
remember to type dungeon #24k when running the game. Otherwise, around about
|
||
|
|
level 7 or so (after you barely made it through the other levels by the skin of
|
||
|
|
your teeth!) you'll get a out of memory error and the game will end. That would
|
||
|
|
not be fun!

Floyd,
|
||
|
|
As Kev already rattled my foggy brain, is seems that all the subroutines must
|
||
|
|
be merged into one file rather than loaded separetly(sp?). I like this game
|
||
|
|
Floyd... I don't use multi-view, but anyway, we need MORE fun programs for
|
||
|
|
OS9... lord knows we a LOT of utilities and not enough substance. Looks like

That's the whole reason I wrote the game - I got sick of utilties! I'm on the
|
||
|
|
verge of completing another one called Gem Quest. Instead of a bird's eye view
|
||
|
|
it is a side view and there are ladders to climb and pits to jump. Parts of
|
||
|
|
the game are patterned after Black Tigers, an arcade game. If things go as I
|
||
|
|
hope they do, the game is going to require a huge amount of memory.
|

Glad you liked it!

Ah, I see now. Hmm, yes that should be possible, I think.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What all these commands are doing of course, is setting up the static variable
|
||
|
|
packets required by SS.WnSet for the menus, as you know. So there has to be
|
||
|
|
enuf info passed for gfx2 to find the correct area and link stuff together
|
||
|
|
(heh, how was that for doubletalk? grin).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So let's see. To disable a menubar item would require the menu descriptor array
|
||
|
|
and the item number, at least. I agree, could be done, and could be handy (I
|
||
|
|
just figured not many people would do it.. hehe). Okay, maybe for version 4.

Be looking forward to it! It was just a hassle to want to disable or enable a
|
||
|
|
menu and think "How did I set that up again?" and have to jump to the beginning
|
||
|
|
of the program to find out (it would be nice if you could jump to offsets in
|
||
|
|
BASIC09!). The program I'm working on is going to be rather large (most likely
|
||
|
|
30 or 40k). It is definately a specific need program - it's a Character
|
||
|
|
Maintaining System for the Palladium Role Playing Game. Pretty specific, eh?
|
||
|
|
But, I tell you what, it really shows off your new gfx2 module. By the way, I
|
||
|
|
ran into a slight problem with it. The OnMouse call locked up (i.e. failed to
|
||
|
|
wake up) from time to time. However, this is not a random occurance (thank
|
||
|
|
goodness!) but happened after several quick mouse clicks. No big deal. It can
|
||
|
|
be worked around. As a matter of fact, that particular point in my program
|
||
|
|
works better without the OnMouse call!

Right on the OnMouse call. That's not uncommon in asm (which it is, actually,
|
||
|
|
in this case) or anything else... what happens is that the mouse button sends a
|
||
|
|
signal (due to quick clicking or contact bounce) between the time a signal is
|
||
|
|
set up and the sleep(0) call.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sleep(0) then will sleep forever. I really should've had it sleep for a
|
||
|
|
coupla seconds and check for the need to sleep again, instead. If I get some
|
||
|
|
time I'll change it and post an ipatch... cuz it can be a pain. Thx for the
|
||
|
|
reminder!

No problem. I'm just glad it wasn't one of those random problems. By the way,
|
||
|
|
I figured out a way to change the enable/disable without having to type in the
|
||
|
|
data again. I set up an array for each menu and item to hold the enable flag.
|
||
|
|
I then change it when I need to and do a GOSUB which contains all the menu/
|
||
|
|
item information. That way I only have to type in everything once.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim. No, that is weird about the path error deal and

|
preloading those modules. It does strike a chord somewhere in my memory, but I
|
||
|
|
can't quite dredge it up yet. Something about basic variables getting eaten,
|
||
|
|
but...? Do make sure that you pass paths to subroutine modules as integers
|

|
|
tho... seems to help (not as BYTE).

Don - use a disk editor (like dEd here) or a program, to change the first byte
|
||
|
|
in the root file descriptor (from $7F on your goofed disk) to $BF. That changes
|
||
|
|
the attribute back to what it should be. Piece o' cake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sector number (LSN) of your root dir file desc is in bytes $08,$09,$0A of
|
||
|
|
LSN 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yell if need more help. If you haven't used a disk editor before, now is
|
||
|
|
certainly the time to learn! Much easier than you think. Practice on a floppy
|
||
|
|
is a good idea, too <grin>.

Hi,
|
||
|
|
I have a question on the usage of procedure calls in Basic09. I am
|
||
|
|
currently writing a checkbook program that is larger than 64K when all of the
|
||
|
|
seperate procedures are added up. I am using Shell+ v2.1 and gshell+ v1.24
|
||
|
|
with patches from Kevin's fastgrf.ar. My system is a Coco3, 512K, with a 20Meg
|
||
|
|
Hard drive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is my problem: I start up the program in a 640 X 192, graphics
|
||
|
|
window using chwt -5. I then start my main procedure. It doesn't matter if
|
||
|
|
I use runb checbook or checbook. This main procedure is basically a
|
||
|
|
"menu" that calls in other procedures. The problem I have observed, though, is
|
||
|
|
that as the other procedures are called in and then ended, they do NOT get
|
||
|
|
released in memory. It doesn't take long before I use up my entire 64K work
|
||
|
|
space. I realize that when a procedure is called, that it eats up memory in
|
||
|
|
blocks of 8K, but I thought that this memory was freed up when that procedure
|
||
|
|
ended so that same memory was available for other called procedures. I can
|
||
|
|
make everything work fine when I use the shell "unlink procedure" command
|
||
|
|
in my main procedure as the next line following my call to a procedure.
|
||
|
|
ie. run scrprnt followed by shell "unlink scrprnt".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe this IS the correct "fix", but I haven't seen it written anywhere.
|
||
|
|
I know that by merging all of the procedures together, I can save on the 8K
|
||
|
|
usage problem, but all of my procedures added together use up most of the 64K
|
||
|
|
work space. I want to get this program working smoothly and properly before I
|
||
|
|
attempt to upload it here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
thanks,
|

Arnie - try the Kill command instead of using shell/unlink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look up the command in the manual, btw. They mention reasons for using a string
|
||
|
|
variable name for both the RUN and the KILL command at times.

PS: the reason they don't automatically leave the basic/runb workspace/map is
|
||
|
|
because it's assumed that the odds are very good, that you'll run it again
|
||
|
|
soon. Many times of course, this is true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By not loading/linking over and over again, programs thus can run much faster.
|
||
|
|
But the KILL command is there in case you have other ideas <grin>.

I asked this one about a year ago and then there simple was no chess for OS9,
|
||
|
|
so.. I'll ask again. Does anyone know of any chess games for OS9? Seems like
|
||
|
|
a great idea to me.... run chess in one window, do other things in another
|
||
|
|
window while the computer thinks of its move.

Mark - a lot of us think it'd be a great idea, also. I heard the other day that
|
||
|
|
someone was finally doing an os9 chess game... a port from another OS, I think.
|
||
|
|
If I can remember who told me that, I'll check on it.

I know of no Chess game for OS9, at least not one with a graphical interface. I
|
||
|
|
am currently working on a variation of chess called KnightsBridge. You and the
|
||
|
|
computer each have 7 knights. The one you and the computer must move is chosen
|
||
|
|
at random. First playewer to capture 5 of the opponents knights wins. Full

||
|
|
color graphics and mouse controlled.

My friend Bob brought his dmp-105 printer and PhantomGraph (26-3276) software
|
||
|
|
to the club meeting last week because when he tries to print, the paper never
|
||
|
|
advances, (resulting in an extremely compressed image). We tried changing xmode
|
||
|
|
/p from -lf to +lf. This had no effect. Another friend took the software home
|
||
|
|
and tried printing on a Star NX1000. By adjusting the DIP switches on the
|
||
|
|
printer, he was able to get the paper to advance, but by too much, resulting in
|
||
|
|
a striped effect. Is this a problem with the software? Is there a fix? Our
|
||
|
|
objective is to get the program running on Bob's DMP105. Thanks for any advice.

You're welcome. I have a DMP-106, very similar to the DMP-105. Even with the
|
||
|
|
patch, the screen dump does not print a full print head of data with each
|
||
|
|
lateral pass, consequently a dump of a graph takes upwards to 30-40 minutes at
|
||
|
|
2400 baud.

Here's what I've doce so far:
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
o I used dEd to replace the missing first letter in the filename.
|
||
|
|
o Went to LSN $C0BC to look at FD sector - showing $C7AB for a start.
|
||
|
|
o Went to LSN $C7AB and paged thru text - it ends at $C7D1
|
||
|
|
$C7D1
|
||
|
|
-$C7AB
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
$26 sectors long
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Went back to $C0BC and changed byte #21 to $26 from $00
|
||
|
|
o dir -e still shows 0 bytes for length
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What did I miss??

Jim,

You also need to set the file length... at offsets 9,A,B,C in the file
|
||
|
|
descriptor. Since it's close to $26 x256 bytes/sector long, you can start with
|
||
|
|
$00 00 26 00 for the file length. Back it down if need be. Like $00 00 25 80,
|
||
|
|
etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You could just set it to 00002600 and copy it all with garbage at the end...
|
||
|
|
and edit it. Or start at 00002500 and keep going higher and listing the file
|
||
|
|
until you get everything. Or just read the dEd screen and figure out what the
|
||
|
|
last good byte-within-sector offset is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Naturally, you must copy the file to a good name, and then go back and zero the
|
||
|
|
first byte of the bad file's name again... as the sectors are no longer
|
||
|
|
allocated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You were very close! Just needed the filesize set. - kev

it odd that it is somewhat incompatible with the official C compiler. I notice
|
||
|
|
in the docs that they refer to OSK a lot. I suspect that the version of 'make'
|
||
|
|
in the Level II Development System was hastily kludged from the OSK version,
|
||
|
|
and the "r=stuff" incompatibility slipped through.
|

|

I *DID* have the cc.ar from DL3 here, and for some reason had returned to using
|
||
|
|
the original cc1. Rereading the docs, I see that version *DOES* support
|
||
|
|
"r=stuff". End of problem. Thanks for the input.

BTW, one of these days I'm gonna have to cough up for the MVCanvas upgrade. I
|
||
|
|
should've just given you the original, some $, and my address in Chicago!
