Short: CGX patch for LightWave4. (v0.95) Author: jas@mbox325.swipnet.se (Jonny Svensson) Uploader: jas mbox325 swipnet se (Jonny Svensson) Type: gfx/3d Version: 0.95 beta Requires: LightWave V4.00y Architecture: m68k-amigaos Unofficial patch for LightWave V4, adds real CyberGraphX support to Layout. Features: * CyberGraphX screens can be directly selected from Options-Panel with ASL-Screen-Requester. Any screenmode from 672x432 (min. NTSC) and upwards can be selected in 8bpp, Hi or True color. * Last opened (CGX) screen ModeID is saved in ENV:/ENVARC: on exit and will be used on next startup. * It's possible to change from default Layout screen modes and CGX modes at will, if CyberGraphX can't be found or opened Layout will open on default screen. * Combined FeedBack/Status window on Layout, FeedBack is displayed in 32 grey-shades on 8bpp screens and in color on Hi/True color screens. * Make/Play Animation Preview's now work on CGX. * Color Requester window has got it's own pen, adjusting color values will leave UI colors unaffected. * Faster screen update when running on CGX, offscreen buffers are allocated with the same type & depth as Layout screen which makes a big difference when blitting buffers to screen and also when drawing lines (before, when promoting Layout, offscreen buffers did still get allocated in CHIP and therefore was using Amiga-Blitter when doing line drawing, it was further slowed down by the copying from CHIP to gfx-card memory). * ENV:LW4UP/notoast_prev (switch) For Toaster systems only; ON forces Animation Preview to be displayed on Layout screen even if LightWave is started from Switcher, this is an experimental function and has not been tested. ENV:LW4UP/cgx_startup (switch) Main CGX switch; OFF forces Layout to open on deafult screen even if a valid CGX ModeID is found (if switch is ON and ModeID can't be found, ASL screen requester opens on WB) ENV:LW4UP/cgx_modeid (var) holds the last used CGX modeid (updated when LightWave exits) * A lot of 040/060 emulated instructions have been removed plus several other opt. gives a small increase in render speed (20-30% on 060), mainly when using proc. textures.
