[Blackcrack]

Hy Gyros,

i had take a look on you page, manny thing's who be need in Reactos...
http://www.freenet-homepage.de/meinstuss/
i had show Courier New - CP850 replace and other some stuff who be good
you Courier New - CP850 shold be added in Reactos ( this one so you had wrote it's make by you )

SmGates
it is possible to take this over telnet or ssh to have a gafical Gui ?
Or maby as Security-Gui to repair some systemfiles or so ?
to open an cmd on it but have a grafical Gui ? Here come to me
some nice ideas for reactos!.. Peoples, think about it..
Maby a small grafical boot disk, SMGates it is only 46KB !!!! wow..
Make on it an real NT-Installer give 32/64Bit System Support Support and 24Bit Color Support ! Grafical ! or maby other things...

realy good work GyROS !

best Regards
Blacky

I'm sorry, but you cannot use either of the progs in reactos, Blackcrack, the reasons are the following:
The CP850 replacement really uses the Courier New font, therefore you can only use it for non-commercial purposes.
And the DOS-GUIs I'd written that time are as the name already tells you "DOS"-GUIs, so it's impossible to use them in an NT like system without a compatiblity layer or an emulator (apart from the fact that they are extremely buggy and written in pascal).
But thanks for the interest.

CP850, oky..

pascal it's cool, but pascal it's only 16 bit.. is'n it ? i see what you mean.. but maby....
write so an gui with c or asm, i think whant be smaller and with enhancements
like more collors and standalone App to use as installer and a grafical gui without some
"Systemneed" with ssh and telnet-support to be more faster as an fully in vb or net
wroted application and an "videolike" VNC ... so i think... how ever, it is ever a look
good to see you page to become ideas

@gyROS:

I really like your paint clone, it should be included in ROS.
OffTopic: I've seen your page, I'd like to try faerber, don't you have an english version? I really can't do much being in german...

gabrielilardi: Same here. Try Google WebPage translate. It doesnt solve much, but helps a little.

Thanks for the hint, but I meant the program not the webpage, Google doesn't translate exe files yet (you never know)

Try GIMP instead of Färber. It's the better choice when coloring images. The program was only an experiment.

Back to topic?

Sure, I already had it installed. Thanks.
Back to topic, your paint clone works very well in ros... when will we see the patch to add it ?

[Lone_Rifle]

The devs have yet to branch for 0.3.8. If you act quickly enough you might be able to get the clone (do you have a name for it yet btw?) for that release =P

[gyROS]

works very well?!

Painting does not work, zooming does not work, scrolling does not work etc.
The only thing that works reliable when testing it inside ReactOS is the blue screen of death!

Well, you'll get the sources, sure, but I don't know whether you'll get a patch, since I do not even get it managed to split up the source file (until now it's one huge and chaotic c file, one resource file and one header file, apart from the things I did not change at all (project file ...)).

A Name? Err... Paint?

gabriel and gyROS, which trunk revisions did you try the clone on? I've not gotten the chance to try this out.... though I'm quite curious now....

gyROS, i'm guessing gabriel meant submitting an SVN patch, ie, place the files in a local dir created under rosapps under trunk and creating an SVN diff patch before submitting to us.

Paint is fine for a name i suppose.

Good work btw, keep it up =)

[gyROS]

I used bootcd-39013-rel.iso, it's yust 1 or 2 days old.
With "does not work" I mean "not usable" (In windows those functions are usable)

For completion (complete=running in windows) I'll need at least 1 or 2 weeks. I do not know when the developers plan to release 0.38, maybe the Paint (or PaintClone, or ROSPaint, or whatever you want) will be ready in time.

I've tested it with 39009, and I can draw, do zooming, and scrolling inside the zoom. The only thing that didn't work was the spray painting (here we have a problem with the dragging, cause you can draw with the spray if you do a single click, this could be a bug with mouse messages), and the fill-in function, because of this:
(subsystems/win32/win32k/objects/fillshap.c:1061) FIXME: NtGdiExtFloodFill is UNIMPLEMENTED
Did you try it in latest builds (http://www.reactos.org/getbuilds?

PS: the exe should be mspaint.exe IMHO, the name could be ROSPaint?

[Lone_Rifle]

probably a problem with debug versus release build maybe? or a regression?

[gyROS]

I don't know. In all my ReactOS installations it always looked tike this:
