Window Plan

[dub]

Hi, I try to use the Window Plan like a HUD.

I wish to keep a full scrolling PlanA (horizontal / vertical). I load all the tiles in PlanA for the scrolling and I want to show a HUD in top or bottom of the screen :

Code: Select all

u16 i,j;
	
	for(i=0;i<32;i++)
	{
		for(j=0;j<64;j++)
		{
			VDP_setTileMapXY(VDP_PLAN_B, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL0, 0, 0, 0, 1 ), j, i);	//fond
			VDP_setTileMapXY(VDP_PLAN_A, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL0, 0, 0, 0, 80 ), j, i);  //devant
		}
	}
	
	VDP_setWindowAddress(0xB000);
	
	for(i=0;i<4;i++)
	{
		for(j=0;j<40;j++)
		{
			
			VDP_setTileMapXY(VDP_WINDOW   , TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL0, 0, 0, 0, 2 ), j, i);
		}
	}

The B and A plan are ok, but I can't see the Window Plan ?
I look the source and find the 0xB000 default value for Window Plan but maybe the vdp_setTileMap is not the good way to use it.

The values of my tiles are good and upload in vram.

The various functions, including XY, are not set up to work with the window plane. I think there's a github issue, though Stef closed it. So to write tiles to the window plane, you have to use the more primitive functions and calculate the index yourself.

[Stef]

Did you verified you correctly setup the window on the VDP ?
You need to modify VDP registers $11 and $12 for that :

But there is also the problem of some methods not supporting the window plan... but it will be fixed soon

Yes, I've check the register and I have 0 for vertical / horizontal.



Can you give me the name of a function who can work for the window plan. Otherwise, I could always add some asm code.

[Stef]

So given your window registers the window is not visible, you have to set value != 0 if you want to make the window visible.

Thanks, I was thinking it was only for the position. So I now can change my register in real time

I have an another problem now.
Well not really a problem, I have the limitation of the address of the Window Plan (B000 to B800) for H40 resolution. Of course, I want to show my window on the downside of the screen but I'll use a H32 now and I'll looking for the memory later.
