Falco #1 / 6	questions,questions,questions. Hi everyone, I have a couple of concerning basic. (1) In animation I know I can use the WAIT HD3A(is it? I can't remember) command to wait for a verticle retrace. WTF is the verticle retrace? (2) What is this MODEX everybody seems to be talking about? (3) What is an animated bump map? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Falcon -- Can you catch the wind? Can you see the breeze?

This is : WAIT &H3DA,8 It waits for the end of the vertical refresh ==> 72times per second (or other, depends of the screen mode), the screen is redrawn : this command waits until the current redraw is done (doesn't work while on windows on my cpu, try ms-dos commands) Quote: > (2) What is this MODEX everybody seems to be talking about? The MODEX is a complete pack of graph routines, in .LIB format (more screen formats, multy screen-buffer, etc...) But i prefer the BLAST! Quote: > (3) What is an animated bump map?

Isn't it like an image which you wrap onto a 3d object to tell the program what height's the various parts are from the surface (only animated)? (If it's wrong, it's sure to help get some correct responses :) ) Simon.

Actually, MODEX is a generic term for a non-standard screen format. Screen 13, which is closest, uses 320200 pixels, with 256 colors, and one video page. MODEX uses 320400 pixels, with 256 colors, and multiple screen pages. Quote: > > (3) What is an animated bump map? It's called an Animated Bit map, and it's somewhat like the animated .GIFs you bump into online. If you are running WIN 95, the startup screen is an animated bitmap, where the bottom part of the screen cycles through the shades of blue. It's stored as a file called LOGO.SYS.
