Amal On does nothing when the channel is already on. The only way to restart an arbitrary AMAL program from the beginning that I know of, is to use Amal Off and then reload it with Amal. However, the AMAL programs that you write will not be arbitrary in this sense. By writing them in a certain way they can be given the ability to restart: Add a label right at the beginning of your AMAL program, and you can make the program start over simply by jumping to it (given some appropriate condition, for instance by checking if register 9 has been set to some specific value).

So in this case you could consider replacing the Amal On instruction in _ANIMSPELL with an Amreg instruction, and modify the AMAL program such that it ends with this kind of loop: "B: IR9=1JA; PJB;". Anim On is not required when using the AMAL version of Anim, by the way.

In AMAL, I have a problem restarting an animation. It plays the animation well once, but when I restart the routine, nothing happens.

Thank you.

Is the "STR$() adds a Space" already tackled? It seems to be common as i stumble upon workarounds on this all the time.

yes i just discover this bug !   damn !

Mequa is gone to meet his maker too.  It's not just XAmos.

no new post since 2012, so it's dead

Guess your talking about XAMOS.
Just saying "DEAD" isn't helpful.

Sorry for the unforseen server downtime.
Seems, when time hit 12am 1/1/22, the backend screwed up and altered server conf files.
So it restored defaults, this of course screwed up server location data.

All fixed now, .

Just a bunp to see if anyone had finished an A1200 KiCad layout already.

MadAngus, is MIA.
I have reached out a few times, I hope nothing has happened to him.
As its been around 7 years since his last activity.

I didn't think James' patch worked with more than three bitplanes per playfield..!
Testing it now confirmed my suspicion (opened two screens with 16 colours each and tried using dual playfield on them).
So I think you must be using the new AGA library without realising it?
There is no compiler support for the AGA library yet, at least not from the original compiler.
I have one hack solution that might work, you can at least give it a try if you'd like: rename the AGA library (in S:Libs?) to amos.library first and then run the compiler.

Hi, hi , hi 

I got this patched amos.library from this forum , recent I try to remember who made that patch library and find this thread https://www.ultimateamiga.com/index.php?topic=9641.0 ,

not sure 100% if is that library the one Im using due to your comment now, long time ago I got it from this forum  , what I can guarantee 100% its  the one I got on this forum long time ago let me use 4 bitplanes in dualplayfield and compile perfect without problems.

would be great to be 100% sure if is the james666 library or not . also im 100% its not new AGA(unity) one that in another part works amazing too and compile fine too here another project im using Amos unity from Frederic https://amiten.itch.io/amigreen-beret

Finally I manage to make my bootable adf and run my game cyberpunk alien city from floppy , I manage to create a complex startup-sequence and boot to minimalist wb and the run the .exe and game start fine , the problem its too many files for make a minimalist wb to load , i have to spend more time checking what exact its involved for my game run on workbench but no when we not load wb.

thank you for your reply, have a good day
