Cool movie, though there were a couple of frames that flashed yellow. What did you use to generate the images? Mike jackoftradez@comcast.net wrote:

That's pretty neat. And a great sound track, too! -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

it's very cool, i love the way you've put it to music too, simply great, thanks for sharing :) just how do you make these animations ? i use xfractint and often think i'm the only one in the world who does. it seems to be far more limited than fractint too, many of the functions and keystrokes don't work, and while i do have fractint also installed on my windows partition, it doesn't work with the wine emulator. i've become quite stuck with the version of xfractint i have, it seems i've done every single fractal there is, though that's very unlikely. i would be very interested to know how you generate the movies and whether i could do the same with xfractint. sammi

I use XFractint, too. I also wish it matched Fractint's capabilities. It does run faster for me than DOS Fractint did, though. I may be weird, but I like the separation between the command screen and the fractal image ... I'm not real big on color cycling, but I'd think XFractint would be able to accommodate 24-bit color support much more easily than Fractint because it doesn't have the same memory limitations as Fractint.
and while i do have fractint also installed on my windows partition, it doesn't work with the wine emulator.
Try Qemu with a FreeDOS disk image - I've been told that Fractint runs just fine (although a bit slower) that way. http://www.qemu.org/ -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

no, not at all, i think it is a very good feature and it does have a more sympathetic to the eye interface. i have looked at fractint some time ago and it's vivid blue and red (i think it was those colours) i found visually too much.

yes. my husband's explained to me what that actually means, he thinks it would be a pretty big change to make, i don't think i'm that fussed about it then, xaos also does colour cycling, but it's disadvantage is its limited amount of formulae. it's not that important. i suspect also that a lot of the keystrokes don't work the way they do in fractint. for instance, when i press 'e' it doesn't do the evolve parameters what i've read about but opens the colour map menu instead. i would like to know how to change the default save and opening paths, i would like the files to be saved in their own directory and be able to restore them from there too. do you know how to do that, which files i need to change ?

i will have a look at this, thank you :) sammi

It also behaves very nicely while doing image calculations - doesn't hog the CPU with useless keyboard polling like the DOS version does when running under other OSes such as OS/2 or Windows.

I think adding 24-bit support to Fractint would require a lot of work in the guts of the processing routines.
i suspect also that a lot of the keystrokes don't work the way they do in fractint. for instance, when i press 'e' it doesn't do the evolve parameters what i've read about but opens the colour map menu instead.
On mine, ctrl-e brings up the Evolver. I also discovered that in the command screen, you can use the cursor keys to move amongst the listed commands and press Enter to select it.
i would like to know how to change the default save and opening paths, i would like the files to be saved in their own directory and be able to restore them from there too. do you know how to do that, which files i need to change ?

To do this the sstools.ini file should be in your working directory and look something like this: [fractint] inside=0 map=maps\default.map ifsfile=ifs\fractint.ifs parmfile=pars\fractint.par lfile=lsystem\fractint.l formulafile=formulas\fractint.frm autokeyname=key\auto.key [xfractint] inside=0 map=maps/default.map ifsfile=ifs/fractint.ifs parmfile=pars/fractint.par lfile=lsystem/fractint.l formulafile=formulas/fractint.frm Jonathan

hi all, thanks for this, i'll look into it, i've never seen such a file on my home partition, think i'll have to look it out, thanks :) sammi

I don't believe that Fractint itself ever generates one, so the only way one gets an sstools.ini (in DOS Fractint) was to make it yourself. But It's been awhile, I could be most mistaken. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

That was true, yes. The developer's version and future versions will come with an sstools.ini file. This needed to be added because formulas, maps, ifs, lsystem, etc. files were put into subdirectories. Jonathan
