Timanthes - PC to C64 - Help! :)
Ive pixel pushed a picture using *Photoshop. It makes use of the C64 standard hires bitmap format. Getting the image from PC to C64 is proving difficult. Ive just taken a look at Timanthes/Focus and on first inspection looks like it can do the job
My 320x200 .bmp image loads fine into Timanthes
The problem is saving out the .prg file
I get the message Incorrect Layer set up for .prg saving - what do I have to do?
It might make more sense if, when exporting, all layers were (flattened and) saved, with the option of
hires/multicolour/FLI/Ifli etc
*Both my C64s fail to function at the moment. Looks like Ill have to hunt down another on eBay.

Funny enough I ran the image through ProjectOne to make sure I hadn't gone over the 2 colour per char limit of bitmap hires. I couldn't see an export to C64 option anywhere. |

You can save it as standard Koala from p-one. |

It's in the help file... somewhere...
Timanthes kind of respects c64 rules, which means it expects a background of some sort ($d021 colours, with rasters or not, even if it's not possible to see, like in single colour hires mode) and a second layer on top of that.
Make sure you've got 2 layers, one which serves as a background layer and a second layer with your bitmap graphics. Double click on that second layer and set the restriction mode to 'bitmap singlecolor'. You should be able to export now.
In my mind it all sounds logical and i'd hate to change the layout for this, but i'll see if i can simplify things for the next release (if ever) |

please note that there's a bug in ProjectOne with hires pictures: when wrting the display routine, you have to swap the colour nibbles.
