ok, i tried it myself for weeks now and maybe it is really easy for someone and i'm just too stupid....
the problem is the following: i wanna make an intro-animation like id did it with commander keen 4-6 (the scrolling letters which will be highlighted when they overlap). however all i try is a) slow b) doesnt work or c) the 64k of video-memory arent enough 🙁
does someone know how this is done in commander keen? or is there any program where i can dump the entiry video-memory?
or can i copy from plain x1 in vid-mem x2 to plain y1 in vid-mem y2 in write mode 1?
some infos: ck uses ega-mode 0x0D, the letters KEEN appear in plain 0, the letters COMMANDER appear in plain 1, the palette is changed, so that color 1 and 2 are a dark grey and color 3 is a light grey (if keen and commander overlap, the resulting color is 3). CK uses pixel-panning during this animation (i think for scrolling through COMMANDER so that they only need one shift - but than i need 8 shifts!!! for KEEN).
i dont know where to post this things but i thought a forum for dos-emulation *could* be right 😀
thanx in advance
