Re: Eye of the Beholder 3 vs 1 Portrait fixing

Thanks for the effort! All the EOB3 pics look like they were taken after a bong :) Now they look way better. Someone should come out with a new episode, EOB 4. Now I have to replay the game. You are most welcome! :) > after a bong Uhuh! :) The "default" EoB-3 portraits have -squinty- and -dim- eyes …

Hello All! Good news, I must admit I could not fix completely some things in EoB-III portraits just in one hit in Version 7_27 of EoB-III Portrait Restoration patch. So, Ver. 8_28 Plus 8 is available! :) It will not be a disappointment for EoB lovers. Besibe 28 "main" portraits I included 8 more. …

Do you have any site page where I can go to and see your work? I am a fan of EOB too. A worthy game, really. What I did is just this, the portraits and already patched eye.res is here as I mentioned https://www.old-games.ru/forum/threads/eye-of-the-beholder-ispravlenie-portretov.91989/page-4#post- …

BTW, according to the info here https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=63994&start=30 these portraits can work with the upgraded, 32-bit version of AESOP EoB-III engine. For this, daesop.exe command "convert_old_bitmaps" is used on EYE.RES (a genius program!) With that, the portraits become …

A little sum-up for crushing that EoB-III character portrait ugliness. It is done! ^^ Due to help from dim568 who kindly made a working .bmp/.bin converter I repacked all portraits which I repainted after EoB-1 originals. They all work in EoB-III, perfectly. This is version 7 already. Out of the …

This is a small update, here. The nature of the problem is not Daesop.exe and EYE.RES resource headers. Getting a "true" EoB-3 portrait out of EYE.RES and putting it back instead of the defective Green Ninja portrait just works. The bad portrait is replaced and it works. So, the bad thing is XWE. It …

Well I fixed this portrait with XWE editor. It doesn't allow saving if the file is still in EYE.RES pack. But after the picture is extracted from EYE.RES one can edit and save it. Good! Does anybody know anything about EYE.RES 12 bytes "headers" added to all files inside it? If I change a picture …

You probably noticed the large amounts of quickly scrolling text as it de-compiled re-compiled the file. That's great EOB3 got some attention! Might you know a way to compile a EoB-1 portrait (31x32 .bmp) into EYE.RES? Many tools allow to get the original EoB-1 portrait from .cps file. I did it. …

EoB3 spoils more than just the portraits IIRC. Indeed! :happy: It's harder to say what they did right. :) But amazingly they did. Polearms, for example. Nobody needed that +5 Chiftain Halberd from EoB-I when one could wield +5 Long sword and +3 Short sword. Using just 1 halberd instead was a loss. …

Considering it it wasn't designed for that size screen it's really a non issue.Looked fine when it was on my 14" VGA monitor when came out. Smaller screens do cover problems in these EoB-3 portraits, indeed. But I can attest the "old" Green ninja portrait scales -pretty well-. These older portraits …

Sounds like a pretty petty complaint. I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Some people beside me noticed this problem too. Might look for that link. Just looking for ~a second~ at this matter might not be too bad. Or even "somewhat" OK. And it's the matter of screen size also. Try playing …

Eye of the Beholder 3 vs 1 Portrait fixing

One thing disturbs me since I fixed that EoB1 Stone Gem in 2006. An esthetic matter. The portraits! Eye of the Beholder-3 changes game 1-2 portraits. And mainly spoils them. One poor "golden" lady suddenly gets ~black~ eyes instead of bright blue. Did she practice black magic? As for the green ninja …

Re: EISA MB managing Sound Cards

Posted on 2018-04-03, 00:37

Thanks a lot for the complete review of the issue. I was nearly expecting this. Compatibility and reliability requirements would make EISA designers leave the ISA part of the EISA slot 'quite the same'. With no unique controls added to it. Indeed I was also thinking along these lines that a 'system …

EISA MB managing Sound Cards

Posted on 2018-04-01, 00:06

If I'm not mistaken EISA architecture provides extensive bus management. Can it be used to manage multiple sound cards? Multiple sound card machine is a treat for many. But managing resources and avoiding conflicts is tough. Can EISA provide some useful management of, say, IRQs for sound cards? …
