SMSQ/E IOW.BLKx traps

[tofro]

The SMSQ/E Reference guide advertises variations of the IOW.BLOK trap, namely IOW.BLKP, IOW.BLKT and IOW.BLKN (for 8-bit, 24-bit and native color, respectively). I have tried these traps with SMSQ/E 3.38 on QPC2 in the respective modes, but each of them comes back with a "Bad Parameter" error. Does anyone know where these are implemented (if at all) and what I may be doing wrong?

Maybe ask Wolfgang Lenerz on the QL Users list. He's not on the Forum.

I, on the other hand, have no idea!


Cheers,

Hi,

Do you have example code that is causing the problem?

Of course:

https://github.com/tofro/QL-Plasma/blob/main/plasma.asm

replace the #$2e (the standard IOW.BLK trap) in line 105 with $5c, $5d or $5e (the new ones), and you'll see what I see: nothing.

Its complicated, tofro. I dont think the documentation is correct. Ive tried this before. I dont get bad parameters, but am only able to draw black blocks in any other mode than COLOUR_QL. I shall investigate further when I get time, but if you get an answer before, I should be glad to hear of it..
