Cel blitting routine is modified from AGI256's version (Be sure to read its general description) so that raw image data instead of run length encoded data can be written and also so that pixels aren't ANDed with a mask of 0x0F but all 256 colors are let through. Also with this routine (As with
AGI256's version) pixels are written to the 256-color part (i.e. the right 160x168 half) of the 320x168 memory buffer.

As AGI256-2 is an extension to AGI256 all its implementation details apply unless otherwise noted.

Cel blitting routine is modified from AGI256's version (Be sure to read its general description) so that raw image data instead of run length encoded data can be written and also so that pixels aren't ANDed with a mask of 0x0F but all 256 colors are let through. Also with this routine (As with AGI256's version) pixels are written to the 256-color part (i.e. the right 160x168 half) of the 320x168 memory buffer.

Used external info

I used Nick Sonneveld's disassemblies of various PC AGI interpreter versions when trying to figure out AGI256-2. Those IDA databases were highly useful for understanding. Thanks Nick. You can check out the disassemblies if you're interested at the AGI Development Site.

Differences between AGI256 and AGI256-2's files

The only coded changes are in AGIOBJS.OVL. Data files have more differences though.

Reverse engineered C version of AGI256-2's AGIOBJS.OVL

Things may be wrong, misleading etc. Caveat emptor.

This is not a straight assembly to C conversion of the source data. The routine has been modified to look better, agi256_2 parameter has been added and possibly other things. It should give you an idea how it works though.

So to get an idea how the blitting routine runs with 256-color views give boolean value of true as the agi256_2 parameter to it.

Disassembly of AGIOBJS.OVL showing differences between AGI256 and AGI256-2

This disassembly is from AGI256-2's AGIOBJS.OVL.

Comments show what the lines were in AGI256 so you can compare them more easily. I've used the asterisk character in the comments to designate that the previous instruction is continued in that position too.

The comments aren't very up to date. So they may be plain wrong sometimes as I've partially guessed them at the time I wrote them. See the C version of this subroutine to better understand it.
