amimouse: funpaint or gunpaint?
Hi people,
my poor (but hopefully developing) pixeling skills severely require mouse support in tools. about a month ago i started using interpaint fli and loved it.
Now I wish to pixel an ifli. but there is no editor with amiga mouse support (or is there?). i understand the leading editors most people use are funpaint and gunpaint. I intend to add amiga mouse support to one of them.
Consider this a poll. Which one should i fix with an amiga mouse? in other words which one is more stable and would be comfortable with a mouse.
Also consider that adding mouse support might mean changing some keyboard shortcuts.
I will be greatful if you could throw in your suggestions.

Funny - for me it's the other way around. Gunpaint has always been extremely stable for me, whereas Funpaint II loves to crash during editing, while saving or when I take a short coffee break. "Funnier" still, it often happened that my workstages were corrupt by the next time I loaded them.
So as far as IFLI is concerned, I'll always go for Gunpaint, no matter what - unless a better editor is created. I'd love to see an editor with Funpaint's line/fill options, but with Gunpaint's stability and layout. The Gun pixels like a dream. |

I'd rather hate IFLI and use Hires FLI/Interlace instead.
And if you want more colours, try Botticelli2 or TEDpaint on Plus/4. ;-) |

What is Hires FLI/Interlace supposed to mean? UFLI/UIFLI? Then you're posting in the wrong thread, Exin. This one is dealing with Gunpaint and/or Funpaint and their amimouse support.
And I wan't more color on C64, not Plus/4! :) |

I've used Gunpaint to paint a few (unreleased) pictures, and i found it to fairly stable on my old c64s.
Mouse support would be nice, as would 1581 support (for saving, loading already works). But i guess i'll only use the mouse to draw outlines, as i'm used to using the joystick for pixelling.
_V_: i can't remember having a lot of corrupted files with Gunpaint, but then again, i always check my freshly formatted disks for errors (with a tool called Superscan) and throw away the disks that have errors. |

i haven't got a crash in Gunpunt + /plush so far.. on the c64 8 hours spent And in ccs64 15 hours spent, also about 2 hours in a row with 6 workstages saved.
so it runs pretty stable as i experience it
maybe it gets unstable if the c64 runs too long?

_V_ are you using the improved Funpaint?
FunPaint V2.4 Pro
I had many of the problems you talk of with the original version, particularly the corrupted saves which is agonising!
I've always preferred fun to gun, though I think much of that is because I had Funpaint for a couple of years before getting hold of Gunpaint, so it's just what I became used to. |

I'm sure it isn't the time of running in my case, as all versions of GP were crashing even only a few minutes after turing on the C64.
I was suspecting for a while that the type of C64 what is causing the problem, but I had to drop the idea, as I faced with crashes on all of my C64s.
However, what might be interesting: when I start with pixelling, everything works fine till I fill up a large amount of the screen. Then the crash pops up from nowhere, freezes GP and fucks up the picture totally, so I can't save my work even from the memory.

That's something similar to, uhmm, when I would like to kill _you_ when Project One crashes?
;) ;) ;)
