High-resolution support #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In my opinion Adlib Tracker could benefit from a higher screen resolution. So I 
made a patch that increases the vertical resolution to 60 lines, which will 
show 48 tracker lines on the screen.

The patch is far from finished, but will not introduce any serious bugs. 
Windows and dialog boxes do not make full use of the new screen size yet.

To enable 90x60 mode, set screen_mode=0 and text_mode=3 in ADTRACK2.INI.

Thanks for your patch. I'll look into it and try to implement it in my SDL port.

Since SDL version 2.4.09, tracker features 3 view layouts (configurable via 
config file).
[0] classic view (720x480) -> 90x30(40) chars
[1] full-screen view (960x800) -> 120x50 chars
[2] wide full-screen view (1440x960) -> 180x60 chars

Is this implemented in the DOS version too? 120x50 seems like a weird 
resolution, I don't think many graphics cards support that.. Would it be 
possible to change this to something more common, like 132x60?

Nope, these screen enhancements are so far in SDL versions only. It would be 
possible to extend screen contents a little bit in DOS version too, but only in 
VBE-emulated mode - which is quite consuming CPU resources already, so I don't 
think it makes sense. With pure text-mode, 90x30 resolution is the definitive 
usable maximum with 8x16 font size - and I don't plan to cripple the font, so 
if 90x30 characters is not sufficient, then it can be done only with scrolling 
90x30 port of enhanced screen (which is also a bit weired I think, but 
theoretically any text screen mode can be realized).

Enhanced screen modes from SDL version were implemented to DOS version too 
since version 2.3.47 (option "screen_mode" 1 or 2). A mouse for more convenient 
scrolling of sreen view port is strongly recommended ;)
