Question(s) about HIDE
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2009 7:32 pm
This one is intended mostly to Twilighte, but anybody using HIDE could help me.
I am trying to settle up some attribute color changes in the converted picture of my Elite-Clone, and I tried HIDE for that purpose. Indeed it is an excellent tool, and an impressive one for the Oric! But I could not do the job.
The problem comes when I try to delete the attributes that PictConv placed in the conversion. In Twilighte's website it states that pressing "d" (small caps) should delete the byte, but I did not find a way to do so. Whenever I press "d" it takes it as "D" (capital) so it deletes the whole grid. As there is no way of undoing, I have to restart the work again.
I tried SHIFT+D, pressing CTRL-T and everything I could imagine, and even I thought it worked at one occasion; unfortunately I was pressing keys madly and deleted the grid, so I am not sure what I did, or even if I did it.
After I can fix this, I would like to see if anybody can tell me the easiest way to get back the picture to asm .byt statements... (save to disk, then to tap, then some tool out there...)
The more I have to do this kind of things, the more I thing we would need an editor such as this (which is incredible), but running under windows, with cursor support and such.
