convert frame buffer to ascii

[rain_storm]

dont you mean 80 x? 160 bytes but its 1 byte colour 1 byte ascii for typical dos consoles

[ninogenio]

nah mate,

although your totally right about it being 1 byte for ascii 1 byte for color and the resolution being 80 x for the ascii console window buffer.

the full bgr frame buffer should be double the size of the ascii window. the 2x dump function does a bit of aa during the conversion.

Nino, (or anyone else) . . .

Im having all sorts of problems compiling this .  .

Phew - can anybody help?

DrewPee

ps. Nice effect though - ran the .exe and that is fantastic!!!!!!

It's failing to compile because you have a more up to date version of Freebasic than Nino.

[ninogenio]

yeah sorry drew but the old freebasic more than covers what i need so i never updated.

the problems you posted should be easily fixed though and in fact i already fixed most in my comp entry its simply that iv been to lasy to declare the variables in most cases ie

I:/DBF Stuff/framconv/framconv/AsciiFrameWork.Bi(38) error 41: Variable not declared, Y in 'For Y = 0 To (Buffer->Size.X) * (Buffer->Size.Y)'

just put dim as integer y above that line and as for this error.

I:/DBF Stuff/framconv/framconv/AsciiFrameWork.Bi(32) error 136: Default types or suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb in 'Declare Function AsRgb( ByVal FCol As Integer , ByVal BCol As Integer )'

thats telling you i have declared a function but specified no return type so you could change it to.
Declare Function AsRgb( ByVal FCol As Integer , ByVal BCol As Integer ) As Integer

and this warning
I:/DBF Stuff/framconv/framconv/FrameBufferConv.Bi(301) error 77: Recursive DEFINE not allowed, found 'MIN' in 'Dim As integer MinV = MIN(R,MIN(G,B))'

is telling you that min cannot be used inside min in the new freebasic so try this instead.
Dim As Integer Temp = MIN(G,B)
Dim As integer MinV = MIN(R,Temp)

And so on and so forth it should be quite easy to patch this up though.

[Jim]

Could just try

fbc -lang deprecated ninosfile.bas

Jim

[ninogenio]

or you could try as jim said but i found -lang deprecated to be unstable or not to work in some cases.
