Hi xl-freax,

here is another new creation in the series of K-dentros...

it shows you something NEW and never seen before on small atari:

• 30 shades 160x200 HIP-Picture !!!

What is HIP?

HIP stands for Hard-Interlace-Picture and was conceved by two members of HARD (Tamas Bene and Sanji...) in Juni, July 1996... so it is very hot!

Tamas found the "trick"...
Sanji the algorithm...

• converting pictures from Amiga, ST or PC with a special algorithm
• new Display-technique to avoid flickering...

APACView uses 80x200 resolution with 256 colors but you will see... the differences are amazing between apacmode and HIP-mode, believe me!!!

What to do if I want some informations conc. converters?

• contact me via email: nadkar@zeus.rz.fh-pforzheim.de
• Become a ABBUC Member and read the demo-corner article in the next ABBUC-magazine (#46). (no... I missed the Deadline, so wait for Magazine #47... :((( )

PC:

BMP-2-HIP-Converter by Tamas and Sanji of HARD Software (should be available on this webpage very soon...) converts a 320x200 64 color-BMP-File to one HIP-File for using it with the HIP-Displayer on XL

Amiga:

BMP-2-HIP-Converter adapted by HeAvEn (this is me!!! ;-) ) does the same thing as the PC one...

Atari ST:

if there is any interest... mail me... I am using my ST for a Gateway to my XL via STXformer...

ATARI XL:

TGA-BMP-to-HIP Converter... an earlier version... it uses my algorithm which produces some errors in the hip-picture if the original-picture is not "HIP"-compatible... but it is faster than the also adapted HARD-Algorithm which takes ages to convert... but I am working on faster ones...not included in the package...

What do I need to convert pictures into HIP-Format

1. a paint-program which can reduce colors of pictures to 64 by dithering or something similar and to a size of 320x200!!!
2. it should save the pictures in BMP-Format (PC,AMIGA,ST,XL) or "uncompressed TGA-Format"
3. one of the converters which are doing the converting job...
4. Transfer-Program from the above computers to XL (PCXformer, STXformer...( btw. are there any ways to do this job via Amiga (instead of using a modem))
5. load the HIP-File via DOS or Turbo-Basic using the "BLOAD" command...
6. load the HIP-Displayer and start it at $b800
7. and then watch the best way to display pictures in the future :))))

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

You have to reduce the amount of colors to 64 and to GREYSCALE!!!!!!!! This is necessary coz. the converters are NOT working (:( ) with RGB-values yet... this will be changed in the future and in next versions...

HeAvEn, 04.08.96

In Abbuc-Magazine #46 there will be NO description of the new HIP-Method... coz. I missed the deadline of the article... I am terrible sorry! So forget the text of the scroller in the 16ktro. :(
