Hi,

Nice one for putting together some info on the betabrites.

I've used your info and the source of your quickbasic program to release a new beta of LCDgen. You can get it here:

There is now a (hopefully) working option for Betabrite in the LCD drop down list. One for dynamic, one for static. I've used the same ASCII set you used in your program so it should work - again I can't test it, so let me know if it helps.

I know a lot of the betabrite boards store text in ram and then can display it in various ways - not sure if you guys want this for the game controls etc... Also at the moment I'm not checking for length - I don't know how many characters BBrites display in one go, or if they auto-scroll etc... The more I know the more options I can add to the program, if you like....

At least let me know I've got the basic bit right....

Silver, your betabrite version of lcdgen works just fine.  However, your installer is still a big buggy.  Keeps saying needed files are not present, would you like to reboot?  Luckily, you've helped me before, so I could just run the newest executable without performing a base install.

One thing though, the controls are not being shown on the led screen.  I did point lcdgen to a valid controls.xml file.  Maybe I did something wrong, but I double checked all of the checkboxes.

Oh by the way, I configured lcdgen to produce "dynamic" text.
MustardTent:
Just tried static too.  Names work just fine, but no dice on the controls.

Hi,

Installer - man I've been meaning to lose that completely. Think I will just stick the VB6 runtime files and a link to the msxml installer up there. I've tried about 50 times to create a good installer with VB6 enterprise, but it only ever seems to work on the system its created on....

lost my thread in my previous post - meant to mention that I was not included any control info until I knew the basic bit worked - which it does  :)

I can get it to include control data - but whats the best method - just tag it on after the name? Will BB scroll this automatically? How do they treat 'return's' (Ascii 13 or 10)? If you guys let me know what works well I can stick it in....
