NewerBits/AddHelp
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

A D D S P R I T E S
Version 0.04, 06 Mar 1994
� Andrew Clover of DoggySoft
============================================================================>
==> What's it all about?
If you have designed your own sprites, or use a desktop new-look program
such as NewLook, DeskPatch, or our own NewerLook (see below), you will no
doubt be annoyed when an application replaces your lovely 3D, high-resolution
icons with its own poor-looking 2D blocky nasty ones. This happens a lot with
shared filetypes like drawfiles, and badly-behaved applications which place
new option icons, arrow icons, etc. in the WIMP pool.
You will also be concerned, with a small machine, at all the memory those
small icons will be taking up, when you only use large icons, and so don't
need them.
This module fixes both of these problems, by intercepting OS_SpriteOp 11,
and altering its action to disallow small icons, and to make sure new icons
do not replace old ones. But it must know that the pool involved is indeed
the WIMP sprite pool, otherwise it would change all sprite merges, which
could cause undesired effects. So you must mark the WIMP sprite pool with a
sprite called "�wimppoolme�", *IconSpritesed with your mail sprite file or
separately, probably through your !Boot system, if you have one. If not,
there's a little Obey file that'll do everthing for you in this directory.
Of course, you might occasionally want *IconSprites to work as normal,
when some sprites need to be replaced, without having to kill the module.
AddSprites deactivates itself when the system variable <AddSprites$Control>
is set to "Off". So, to disable AddSprites, press F12 and type:
*Set AddSprites$Control Off
And to turn it back on:
*Set AddSprites$Control On (actually anything other than "Off").
Also, you might use IconDir or Menon, and thus need small icons anyway. To
do this, use the AddSprites$Small variable:
*Set AddSprites$Small [On|Off|Filer]
The three settings mean: On - small sprites are always added (this is the
setting you want if you use IconDir or Menon); Off - small sprite are never
added to the WIMP sprite pool; Filer - small sprites are added to the WIMP
pool only if the Filer is not set to display them. If the variable is not set
to any of these, the default, Filer, is chosen. Note that newer versions of
IconDir automatically set AddSprites$Small to On.
Oh, one last NB: this module only protects sprites loaded into the RAM WIMP
pool. It won't protect ROM-based sprites. Sorry.
That's about it really. Enjoy!
==> NewerLook
This module is part of the rather nice NewerLook application, but I've
released it separately so that people with slow modems don't need to download
that whole big package, and due to popular demand ( :-) I've always wanted to
be able to say that!). I recommend you find a copy from your local PD library
or bulletin board as soon as possible, or you can always get a copy from
the contacts below. NewerLook is a replacement for Acorn's NewLook, providing
great 3D dithered and coloured icons, semi-transparent sprite drags, nice
tools and ROM apps, and all sorts of gadgets for improving the desktop.
Also, being in one application, it's easier to use.
==> History
0.01 : Stops replacement of existing WIMP sprites. Not publically released.
0.02 : Now includes <AddSprites$Control> variable to allow module to be
temporarily disabled. Included with NewerLook release 1.00.
0.03 : Stops small icons from being added if the Filer is configured to
'large icons'. Not publically released.
0.04 : Now allows the adding of small icons to be controlled with another
variable. Released separately and with NewerLook release 1.01.
