STOS Maps and Scrolling

[STOSMaker]

Hello. I am currently using STOS to build some levels using its MAP editor.
When displayed on the screen i can only get the level to flip between rooms rather than scroll smoothly through each one. I have some code given to me to display the rooms 1 by 1. Is there anything i can add in order to scroll the screen?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the code i use to display the screens:

50000 restore 50005 : read nl,nroom : if room>nroom or room<=0 then boom : return

50001 restore 50010+(room-1)*nl : read gridw,gridh : cls physic : cls back : for I=0 to 319/gridw : for j=0 to 199/gridh:read s : if s>0 then sprite 1,i*gridw+1,j*gridh,s:update : put sprite 1

50002 next j : next i : wait vbl : sprite 1,100,-100,1 : return


P.S The data for the rooms is continuous.

I Don't think the MAP command does actually do scrolling. The map data is held in the data statments and the map command just simply puts the sprites on the screen and the possisions of the map data.

You would be better off getting the missing link extensions and using the world commands. I've done large scrolling maps with that and you can do a lot more with it than the map commands.

BTW you may want to join the STOS list..

Join the STOS list, there is a Beta testing going on which has everything STOS related which could be found on there.

I am one of those Beta testers and the files are on there. The site should up up in a day or 2.

BTW, Atari shrine closed some time ago.
