little addaptation to zx0 and rcs

Post by cborn »

Hi,
i tried to use zx0 for screen and it can overwrite itself. but it will need a different addres then the loading adres with backward compression.
So i tried to add the 'file_length' and the 'delta'of the file to the result, meaning i added 4 bytes.
since i am mostly on wos i have put it there for now, if it works like i hope it migth get a better name?

and i adapted RCS aswell to change two screens at once, but until now only as a "single double file" of 13824bytes.

it still needs better coding i assume, if not, then i have finished some "homework" !! :rolleyes:

PS
on wiki it would say "this article is a stub"
i added 4 bytes which has to be setback to 0 before decrucnhing. If some one can tell how i have to add those 4 bytes after the file has been created, that is very welcome.
meanwhil i think about a 4bytes file and then merge them, i hope it will work one day.
cheers
