Become a ABBUC Member and read the demo-corner article
in the next ABBUC-magazine (#46). (no... I missed
the Deadline, so wait for Magazine #47... :((( )
Following converters are avaible:
PC:
BMP-2-HIP-Converter by Tamas and Sanji of HARD Software
(should be available on this webpage very soon...)
converts a 320x200 64 color-BMP-File to one HIP-File for
using it with the HIP-Displayer on XL
Amiga:
BMP-2-HIP-Converter adapted by HeAvEn (this is me!!! ;-) )
does the same thing as the PC one...
Atari ST:
if there is any interest... mail me...
I am using my ST for a Gateway to my XL via STXformer...
ATARI XL:
TGA-BMP-to-HIP Converter... an earlier version...
it uses my algorithm which produces some errors
in the hip-picture if the original-picture is not
"HIP"-compatible... but it is faster than the also
adapted HARD-Algorithm which takes ages to convert...
but I am working on faster ones...not included
in the package...
What do I need to convert pictures into HIP-Format
a paint-program which can reduce colors of pictures to 64
by dithering or something similar and to a size of 320x200!!!
it should save the pictures in BMP-Format (PC,AMIGA,ST,XL)
or "uncompressed TGA-Format"
one of the converters which are doing the converting job...
Transfer-Program from the above computers to XL
(PCXformer, STXformer...( btw. are there any ways to
do this job via Amiga (instead of using a modem))
load the HIP-File via DOS or Turbo-Basic using the "BLOAD"
command...
load the HIP-Displayer and start it at $b800
and then watch the best way to display pictures in the
future :))))

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
You have to reduce the amount of colors
to 64 and to GREYSCALE!!!!!!!! This is necessary coz. the
converters are NOT working (:( ) with RGB-values yet... this
will be changed in the future and in next versions...
HeAvEn, 04.08.96
In Abbuc-Magazine #46 there will be NO description of
the new HIP-Method... coz. I missed the deadline of
the article... I am terrible sorry! So forget
the text of the scroller in the 16ktro. :(
