New and never-before-seen QB graphics modes discovered!

[Adigun A. Polack]

To Spotted Cheetah:

Hey, so wonderful and an absolute pleasure as well to talk to you for the very first time.

Now then, I have just recently checked out your two programs this morning: the one where you set your QB Screen 9 to 88.5 Hz, and the C program of your VGA library that presents the many custom tweaks for 256-color modes. And man, I am telling you that you did a *really* fine job on them, to be honest on this here! =b

I think an 512*400 mode would be the best since it is fast, can be tweaked easily (and should not turn any monitor into garbage) and has almost square pixels (512*384).

Look man, if a 512x400 custom graphics mode is simply possible to implement in QB, then by *absolutely* all means necessary, let us just see your fine piece of code and show me how it works! ! (Hey, come to think of it, I would TRULY love to implement it into my set of custom modes, and anything like that in QB indeed is definitely appreciated!)

Speaking of custom modes, here are the following ones that I have done so far now:

________________________________________________________________
Tweaked from QB’s Screen 2:
• 512x200x2 mode

Tweaked from QB’s Screen 8:
• 512x200x16 mode
• 512x200x16 psuedo-widescreen mode (technically done, but needs *proper* vertical centering!)
• 512x133x16 mode
• 512x100x16 mode
• 512x80x16 mode

Tweaked from QB’s Screen 9:
• 512x350x16 mode
• 512x175x16 mode
• 512x117x16 mode
• 512x88x16 mode
• 512x70x16 mode

Tweaked from QB’s Screen 11:
• 512x480x2 mode
• 512x240x2 mode
• 512x160x2 mode
• 512x120x2 mode

Tweaked from QB’s Screen 12:
• 512x480x16 mode
• 512x240x16 mode
• 512x160x16 mode
• 512x120x16 mode

.......and praise God that He has surely enabled me to do so and make progress on them in the first place, just to be no less than a blessing to you and this whole community, you know what I mean, man? ;*) ! We only just begun here!

And I thank you so much for such an interesting idea of yours about me adding some refresh rates and stuff to my custom graphics modes (I’ll simply bet that the idea has apparently well been stuck in the head since your fascinating topic about QB graphics mode refresh rates in this very forum back in 2004, hasn’t it? ). I might want to implement it along with my modes, too!

Spotted Cheetah, it is such a great pleasure to have you at this topic, and you have a splendidly good 2005 now!! :king:
