Hello Keith,
This is regarding the Akusprite image conversion to MSX1 screen 2 (the 8x1 color node),
when I am doing a conversion from akusprite , so akusprite generates the exported files
.RAW and .RAW.COL, of the test image for MSX1 screen 2 in 8x1 color , the colors
are not what I expected; the test image is 16 tiles -one for each MSX1 color.
There are 15 visible colors the other color is transparency (as shown
in the attached msx1palette.jpeg)
In the attached
akuspritetoemulatorcolors.jpeg image
you can see I have created, the test image in Akusprite,
which consists of a horizontal row of sixteen 8 by 8 blocks and colored them
consecutively in the order of the palette given in Akusprite toolbar-you can also
see the output of the colors of each tile in BlueMSX (that shows the output
from the files exported from AKusprite), as you can see the output does
not all match the image colors of the original image in Akusprite, for
example the yellow tile (fourth across from left) shows as a shade of
blue in BlueMSX.
I created the 16 uncolored tiles in Microsoft paint then pasted it into
Akusprite with the Akusprite flood fill function,while using the settings
shown in the attached akuspritesettings.jpeg,
to create the test image-however I do not think creating it in Microsoft Paint and
pasting into Akusprite can be a source of a problem, but I mention it anyway.
I am using your code from your screen 2 graphics tutorial to process the
incbins of the .RAW and .RAW.COL.
An obvious thing to notice is that the colors in the Akusprite tool bar
do not match the colors of the MSX1 video palette , e.g. as shown in the
image, msx1palette.jpeg, taken from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_8 ... iginal_MSX
for example the MSX1 palette has 3 shades of green but there are 2
shades of green in the AKusprite toolbar.
Is the Akusprite toolbar colors suppose to match the order of colors and
orders as shown in msx1palette.jpeg when the msx8x1 setting is selected
-or did I misunderstand how Akusprite is used?
Or is Akusprite expected give jumbled colors for images that use the
MSX1 ,8x1 color mode?
By the way the pattern information correctly exports.
