it's just made to look as if it is running on CGA.

To pull that off would need to
- cgamap, a 256-byte table with one of 16 colors to map to
- a decent x86 ASM screen blitter algorithm to calculate which of these to choose in 640x200 CGA
- a re-port of DOOM using Hexen sources as a DOS platform base, and hooking Apogee Sound System to it for making up the lack of DMX (theoretically better than crappy Allegro solutions found in all those dos doom ports)

Anyone interested in the source codes of both the player & the transcoder?

They require QuickBasic to be compiled into *.EXE files.

~Kiyote!

o3o Anyone like what they have to play with now?

Hi. Your player and the transcoder are awesome. They work even in 4.77 mhz.

Can you please make a gif - pic converter? I'd appreciate that.

"gif - pic converter"

A gif to pic converter?

I'm not sure what you mean by "pic" .. is it a ..

filename.pic?

What is a PIC file, more details.. I'm not sure exactly what filetype or program you want to be using.

Look here, at the FAQ page, for my email address.

Yeah, it's kinda cool.

Even if you can't view the video in the CGA colors, you can see it in a B/W which is discernable and watchable.

I watch them on both DOSBOX and other random things.

It even runs under XP.

CGA videos run fine on my computer

I was talking about converting gif to pic. Pic is a picture format not a video format.

I like adding pictures in my games.

I looked into the details of the filetype. It's kinda sorta like a PCX, but the machine specific nature makes it hard to understand, let alone develop a converter for with such lackluster documentation.

http://cd.textfiles.com

This site should have something which will convert to & from that filetype.

I don't think you need me to do any work on my own for this, you can look & I'll look around for a converter.

Can you go into more detail on what you're doing with these images, what game you're augmenting, and if you're sure you couldn't use something else besides the PIC format?

What type of screen does this use? 640x200x2 like CGA and like my video thing? Because I can make a static image view program, by itself, and a converter to make individual composite 16 color type images.

Details man. Need more input! Input..

None of your sources are working. I got this same error:
"Subprogram not defined".

I used Quickbasic 4.5 and 7.1.

I managed to make gif to pic converter with kiyotewolfe's gif to cga tool.

What's new:

- Support PIC format. Converting gif > cga still possible

- Just write the name file witout need to add ".cga" ".gif" and ".pic"
The program will add them.

About PIC format

- Unlike other formats, PIC is easiest to put on your programs without
write extra codes for it. Even Basica support it.
