MI-3 picture format converter

Activation of loading PSC images from Paintshop v2.03

Thanks to LP for his help

[rockyone]

Enabling PSC backup of Paintshop v2.03

I remarked that several high-resolution drawing programs did not take into account the color palette of the images.
I then added in MI-3 the inversion of the value of the bytes image for the high resolution. (Key I)

Adding
FUN. The files converted by MI-3 will be loaded and backed up correctly by Funny-Paint.
Animation is not taken into account.

PG1-3 of Graphic-Processor v3.0
I do not save this format because I did not understand the process of animation of this format.

Fixed a bug when loading and saving the IFF files palette.

Enabling Backup PG1-3
Added MegaPaint BLD format
Added P key in low and medium resolution to display the palette and hexadecimal values of colors.

Correction of the CEL backup format. (Cyber-Paint v2.0)
Fixed a bug in the high-resolution IFF backup (an uninitialized register has zero)

Correction also performed in MI-9

[rockyone]

Same modification as MI-9.
French is the default language of the alert boxes.
I do not intend to do a backup routine for just one parameter.
But it is still posible to put English by default. (Look on the picture) This is no longer relevant since version 03.2018

The loading and backup routines are not up to date because I do not have the time now. Use MI-9

Update...
I had not tested in high resolution. As I had a bessoin ...
I fixed the menu selection bug in high resolution.
And for the resolution, block the rescue with extensions known by MI-3 when it's useful.
Why Steem does it 24 bit BMP image ?

New version.
Big cleaning of the base file ...
Following the discovery of a big bug on the menu in high resolution (moving a line above the memory of the screen )

MI-3 works again with 512Kb Ram or more ...

Added BMP and HMP formats, high resolution image loading in medium resolution and vice versa.
Added the F4 key To test the backup formats, and a screen to list the results. - Files can be deleted automatically if you do not want to keep them -

Automatic save of the selected language - if the floppy disk is not write-protected -

Fixed a minor bug regarding initialization of color cycles
Degas to "off" at startup - although this does not apply to the backup.
image, but only when saving the home screen -

Some drawing programs do not load Degas files, but correctly Degas Elite files if color cycles have minimal initialization.

Cleaning a BMP routine in which there was residual bizare coding of the first conversion tests in this format.
.............................
If a person wanted to test on a real Atari and reporter, any malfunction .....
Is me, Omikron, or emulator Steem, but I still have a problem with the file selector. - Automatic selection, change of directory .. and sometimes with Alert Boxes -
Or VDI management ???

incompressible image in Atari formats


I forgot that some drawing programs do not optimize the PC1 format, and that some image was incompressible.
I had to change several routines for PC1-3 images whose weight is greater than 32767 bytes !
I added the loading of the PI-3 image packed with Automation 5.01

I left the "I" key active, it allows to change the color of the interface.

The day before yesterday I corrected the animation of art-director color cycles that did not start on the right palette.
And bring this version online.
Maliciously, I realize for the moment that I did not use the correct source file
So, this version does not load the previously added formats
In addition I cleared the sources, I have to dismount the routines 68k added !

[rockyone]

A bug on my PC, all the folder MI-3 disappeared, and I opened an archive.
I downloaded, everything is good

[rockyone]

Fixed the loading routine of ".FUL" files
Correction of the management of the menu display in high resolution, and the palette in low and medium resolution.

[rockyone]

Replace the image.PA3 "on the floppy disk.
Tny's animation was disabled
Correction of the colors of the menu. (This does not exclude the rare possibility of having a single color menu with a low resolution image if the ST is started at the average resolution.)

And I still do not know if it works on a real machine.

[rockyone]

I'm doing a routine to load 24-bit BMP images (reduced format for now)
And here I understand that I have to read the file at the end to have a correct color palette !
It makes me angry

There was just one mistake to fix to get the right colors in low resolution.

Hello Rockyone,
On my STe (LOW resolution, 4Mb, Satandisk) when i convert a PI1 to BMP24 all is good on PC ,
but if i convert the same PI1 to BMP4, a bug appear in the saved picture (same problem on ST and PC screen).
It's not regular, 3 to ~ 10 lines may be shifted on the ~ middle screen

[rockyone]

It's weird because I've never had this bug on Steem v3.2
Can you send me a badly converted BMP image and the corresponding PI1 image.

[MM41]

Check your mail box , if you want i can add more examples

[rockyone]

In test by MM41 that I thank on a real machine.
There are some bugs that I do not have with Steem.
Remember, only images of the size of the screen and with the number of corespondant colors can be loaded correctly. Except .BLD and .R01, which may be smaller.

[rockyone]

Following the test carried out by MM41
Fixed several bugs I did not have on Steem and Hatari emulators.

I added the loading of 24-bit BMP images (only 16, 4 and 2 colors) which makes it possible to load screensavers made with Steem.

To load 24-bit BMP images (640 * 400 in all three resolutions), you need to specify the resolution of the image.

On STE, there should be no more error. (I hope I did not create others )
On a MEGA1, I'm not sure that BMP formats work properly.
Works on TT, but only in high resolution . It's a stroke of luck, because I use ST system addresses ...

Does not work with MEGA2 due to a Gemdos error
