Cool Creations Promo - By Clyde Radcliffe

(http://mike.thebrainroom.net/demos/coolshot.png)

This was an intro I made in BB to promote my Cool Creations website.
I've put it up, purely for nostalgia and fond memories. It also contains some neat stuff.

Please dont follow any of the links contained within the release, as CC is sadly no more.

Download Cool Creations Promo - 754 kb (http://mike.thebrainroom.net/demos/Cool_Creations.zip)

Cheers and hope it inspires,
Clyde.

I remember downloading this from Blitzcoder :) I hope that anyone who hasn't seen these productions will give them a download as they are all worth a look and will most definately bring a nostalgic smile to your face.

I for one miss CC  :'(

When I extracted it from the zip and ran it, it says unable to set graphics mode.
In the newer gfx card updates, Im unable to run anything thats made in 320x240 these days.
I presume thats whats occuring to you guys.

Im going to look through my backups, to see if I have the code for that and not just the exe, and I'll see about putting in a window / full screen selector, if I manage to find it.

Yep most modern gfx cards dont seem to like 320x200/240 any more, and tbh most LCD monitors dont do that rez either so alot of this older stuff doesnt work or isnt viewable by alot of peeps now  :(

My card does that mode.

The Mav is caused by an out of bounds array access or off screen plot I'd guess.

Yep the MAV will be some out of bound error tho for some reason older drivers/cards seem less picky about these things, but clyde gets unable to set graphics mode when he tries demos of this sort of rez, which is in part due to the drivers no longer supporting it which is a shame in some respects but nothing really is coded for that low a rez on desktop pc's nowadays so support seems to be dropped. I am not sure if my card goes that low fullscreen but my monitor doesnt do that rez, 640x480 is the lowest supported and it looks terrible on an LCD  :diablo:

I agree... CRT give a little soften touch, LCD is too damn sharp!
