MappyFB

Here's the latest version, it's not complete yet but the test app can display and scroll maps with standard square/rectangular tiles.

Why doesn't convert it to bmp or your own format. You can always use binary file mode.

because I want to be able to use all the stuff that's been built into the fmp format, like animated tiles and stuff

*edit*

ok, I've got it partially figured out, right now it only works with *.fmp files that have 8bpp gfx in them:

bump for update, see first post for link

If you ever decide to avoid FMP, animating sprites with an array of images is quite easy. ;-)

it doesn't work on my pc

Two windows( console and the application window) open and close down..

In console window, i see this,

map gfx color depth : 8
screen color depth : 16

Yeah, sorry about that. When I originally posted for the update, I had the test app loading test.fmp, which was working fine. Aftwerwards, I edited it to load test2.fmp, which didn't work. Without realizing it, I replaced the update with the broken version hen trying to get some help on it in the irc channel.

I don't know exactly what's wrong now, but I think it's something to do with the way that I'm converting the image data from the raw ptr created by the MappyUP cpp code

The link is down? This could be very useful for my next project

Ok, the link in the first post should be working again.

In it's current state, I've got it so that it can load an fmp with 8bit images and convert the images so that they can be used in any color depth - you just  need set to set the screen mode before you call the image_convert function. However, maps that contain images which are higher than 8bit don't work yet because I haven't been able to figure out working conversion methods for the raw data.

I've also got basic map scrolling/clipping done, it's based on the pixel x,y location which is stored in the xpos and ypos members of the mappyFB type. The tile animation is done by the original C code, so I didn't really have to do anything special to get that working.

bump for update (same link as first post)

it can now load maps with 8,16,24, and 32bit images
