Power Bobs

As a workaround, stack images 2 across and try again.  Let us know how that works.

Hmm. Could that have been my problem also?
What does it do when you try to use it? "Image not found"?

I don't know what your problem is. The only error messages I got were "illegal function call" (which is part of AMOS's error messages, but can be used by 3rd-party extensions) or those below which are part of the Powerbobs extension:

Pbob height is not set !
Image height > Pbob height !


I did do some testing tonight (results attached). Although Powerbobs limits the user to 64 active bobs, it seems to successfully use image  numbers above 100 - I tried 105.
In order to successfully display a Powerbob there are a few instructions that must be set (Reserve Pbobs, Pbob Height and Pbob) and then finally call Pbob Draw to draw a bob range (e.g. 1 to 1). Again, see attached file as an example, saved in ASCII format as I don't know which version of Powerbobs you have installed (I currently have one that was modded, and uploaded to here last year?)

NB: Attached archive is actually an .LHA archive, renamed to .ZIP so I could upload it

Hi,

Where is posible to download Powerbobs Manual or any TXT help file?  Thank you!

1) in the case of Amos pro you would;

- put AMOSPro_Powerbobs.lib (from the zip) into your AP_SYSTEM/ folder
- open AMOS, and go to the drop down "config" - "set interpretter" .
- "load default configuration" and then "set Loaded extensions"
- in slot 13 type "AMOSPro_PowerBobs.lib"
- exit and "save configuration"
- close AMOS Pro and re-open it. Power Bobs will now work.

2) commands and syntax can be found in the attached (to this post) .txt file
many of them are direct replacements for the AMOS bob commands.

3) yes, all extensions work in the compiler, providing you are sharing the setup between amos & amos compiler (i use the compiler from within amos pro itself to avoid any problems there)

4) seems to be for ECS like the rest of AMOS, but would run ECS bobs on an AGA machine perfectly well.


hope that helps.

Thnak you but dont see the TXT attatched      cheers!
