Bug in map2spin.exe (Andre!)

edited 2008-10-06 16:53 in Propeller 1
NOTE: This is mostly for Andre.

I recently was using map2spin.exe, and all of a sudden it kept on giving that feared 'Sorry, but this application has encountered a problem and needs to close' message. It stops at the _tile_bitmaps LONG line, which makes me think maybe the image was invalid. I did create the images in a Macintosh image editor called Pixen. I then exported it as a bitmap, opened it in Paint, saved it as a jpeg, and saved the jpeg to a bitmap, which makes one think it should clear up any compatibility issues. It crashes at the memcpy() in the Extract_Bitmap function. I am not fluent in C or C++, so any help identifying the problem, in either my data or the program would be appreciated.

Attached are the two culprit files, ran with no flags whatsoever.

I am 1011, so be surprised!

    Hi tpw_man, I'm guessing Andre' is busy, either on holidays, or some other such thing, so thought I'd jump in for you.
    What is it exactly you want? do you want the something that converts that map file into a spin data file that you can cut and paste into your project file?
    if so, let me know and I'll knock a quick app up for you?
    or is it the BMP you need converting?

    Baggers.

    I think I want something that converts the bitmap to a valid one for map2spin. Another thing is that Mappy seems to insert an extra color block, throwing everything off... But thanks for replying!

    Just looking at the bmp you have done, it's using 5 colours you have 2 Whites in there, I've re-organised the colours etc, and remapped the image to the new palette, so try this bmp, if not, I'll write a converter for you, ( if you let me know what format you need it in. )

    Here you go. Unfortunately map2spin died again, because I wanted to create another map :P The little checkerboard in the output is a sprite controlled by the NES controller.

    Hi tpw_man,
    That's very strange, if you want, you can zip up the project and PM it to me, and I'll fix it for you? if you want that is.

    Baggers.

    PS. Also, on a side note, you do realise by using the HEL drivers you won't be able to release source code for the HEL drivers for this game.

    tpw_man, do you require any more help on this issue? or did you get it working?
