Hires and Multicolor editor
Is there an editor that can use both hires and multicolor on the same screen? I mean, that can use different modes on each char?

if you want to do that, you have to use charsets

Well, it's also possible to split the screen vertically into different video modes, though I guess that's common knowledge.
(Edit) Anyway, by doing that, you can use both hires & multicolor in the SAME char, unless I'm mistaken. ;-) |

I think you mean horizontally? I don't think it's possible to split vertically in the middle of a char, since 1 cycle corresponds to 1 char on the screen. Or? |

Okay, I'll check it out.
But when you do charset you are limited to how big the picture can be, right? Unless I do repeated chars on the screen?
Hmm... perhaps it's a bad idea after all.

Well, it should be possible to switch charsets during the screen, and thus covering the entire screen with different chars... Don't know if anyone has coded such an editor, though.
There is however a limitation in the colors, where two of the multicolors are the same for the entire pic, thus giving you only one unique color per char. This can of course also be altered during the screen update, but you will never have the same flexibility in colors as in multicolor bitmap mode. |

plus the limitation of what color that unique color can be.
but some games use the mix of hires and multicolor quite nicely |
