Hollywood 1.9, 8bit-screen and dithering

Hello!
I am writing a small tool with hollywood 1.9 (for that it will run on classics without gfx-board).
Screenmode of WB is 640x256x8
The backdropimage of the hollywood program is 640x256x5
As there are 256 colors available (if i run on wb or on own screen), why does hollywood dither the picture so ugly?

Well, if I want to code a program for use without gfx-card, I have to use that version.
Any solutions for my problem out there??
Best regards
George

Perhaps WB have assigned its colors and are different to your picture cos the palettes are not equal. Can you open it in its own screen?

If the picture gets dithered, then not enough colours are available on the screen. Do you have a fancy background picture on your Workbench that prevents Hollywood from getting more pens?

Hello
The backdrop picture in my app is the same, which is used as wb-backdrop. It has a depth of 5.
When I open the display on its own screen (256 colors) the picture gets dithered, too.

Hmm, can you post a screenshot of the original picture and how it looks in Hollywood 1.9?

Does your script load some other image files using @BRUSH, @ANIM, @BGPIC, etc.? They could block some pens. Or does it also occur with a minimal script like this:
Code: Select all
; Hollywood 1.0 syntax
%BGPIC(1) = "test.gif"

Hi!
When using the preloadcommand (%BGPic) it works correctly.
But I wanted to use LoadBGPic, to load the backdrops, because I need different bgpics at start (themes).
Any solution for this?
