Hi everyone,
Just a quick question:
I'm trying to use SVGA graphics with FL35 and QB71, 800x600 8 bit res.
When I print something on a blank screen (with Future.print command) everything ids good, but if I previously load a BMP file and print something over it, the colors shown are not the expected ones. Can someone help me? Thank you

It sounds like a palette error when you load the BMP file. Most likely the BMP loader customizes the palette and changes the colors.

How can I avoid or correct this mistake?

Make sure your BMP files are in 256-color resolution. Sometimes if it's in a higher resolution that can effect Future.Library.

I'm sure...
I tried with different bmp files, the only resolution that works is 2 colors...

Did you try just making a simple QB program that uses the Future.LoadBMP method alone without anything else? Try 640x480 and see if that makes a difference.

Also, did you try another computer? Sometimes it could just be the graphics card and how much it can handle.

I found the way to fix the problem.
It's enough to use Paint Shop Pro: you load the image, load the "standard" palette (0=black, 1=blue and so on) and save the image. In this way I am able to load any kind of images. Thanks for help, goodbye!

Looks like the solution was in an image editor. Good luck!

does anyone knows how to do convert like *.obj to *.lib manually because "flbuild.exe is very confusing and prone to errors with in the qb45 directory!
someone should have rewritten the flbuild source file for easier use.

It looks like you would use LIB and LINK for creating a LIB file manually:

---

LINK /Q FILE1.OBJ+FILE2.OBJ,,,OUTLIB.LIB;

Hope this helps.
