Title: Any advice Re: FBlit? non-comp. programs, etc?
Post by: marcfrick2112 on June 28, 2009, 09:57:04 AM: Hi, anyone familiar w/ FBlit V. 3.97? Been running it on my 1200T for a while, but I still get a few random probs. with it... I found out that DPaint3+4 have problems with it, as well as Viewtek... any other programs that don't work with FBlit? Specifically, programs that need to be excluded from FAllocBitMap via FBlitGUI....

My miggy: A1200T, P5 '060/50MHz+DCE SCSI / 8.5GB(ish) IDE HDD, 256MB RAM/OS3.9 w/BB 1+2
running MCP,Madhouse,MM,Powersnap,ReqAttack,ToolsDaemon,VC II, MUI

Ooops, forgot to put in a smiley.. :)

Here's what it looks like when FBlit has the conflict - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI_bi1eoxZA&feature=channel_page

I haven't used FBlit since ages, but i peeked at the FBlit.cfg and i have set only 2 Tasks in the exclude list:
V (Voyager web browser)
Ww1 (WordWorth?)

Why do you run Powersnap and MCP? Have you encountered problems with the Snap function of MCP? It used to be problematic, but two serious bugs have been fixed in the recent versions.

AmigaMance: I could never get the snap function of MCP to work.... ever.... Since I cut and paste text regularly, I thought it would be easier to just use PowerSnap....

Also, oddly I have no problems with Voyager or Wordworth when FBlit is running....

I get the same issue while playing MODs with either CoolMOD or AmoralPlayer (I forget which, it's been a while.) One seems to work fine while the other doesn't.

I have never used FBlit myself. These reports came from multiple independent playtesters over the years.
