"LightWave4 Unofficial Patch" (LW4UP) is now in pre-beta testing stage the patch is for Layout and the purpose is to fix most of the CyberGraphX problems. A public beta version will be released on Aminet as soon basic testing of patch has been done (bug permitting of course ;). There will be two versions, one general one for 060. Features: * No need for screen promotion anymore, CGX screens can be directly selected from Options-Panel (ASL-Requester). Any screenmode from 672x432 and up can be selected and in 256, Hi or True color. * Last selected (CGX) screen ModeID is saved in ENV:/ ENVARC: on exit and will be used on next startup. * Combined FeedBack/Status window on Layout screen, FeedBack is displayed in 32 gray-shades on 8bpp screens and in color on Hi/True color screens * It's now possible to Make/Play Preview's (didn't work with promotion). * The Color Swatch windows has got it's own color pen * Faster screen update i.e no offscreen buffers in CHIP and no Amiga-Blitter line drawing. * A lot of 040/060 emulated instructions have been removed plus several other changes gives a (small) increase in render speed, 20-30%, mainly when using proc. textures. This is an on-going process and there will be further updates. * Two ENV: switches: For Toaster systems; ON forces Preview to be displayed on CGX screen even if LightWave is started from Switcher, this is a experimental function and has not been tested. Main CGX switch; OFF forces Layout to open on standard Amiga screen even if a valid CGX ModeID is found (if switch is ON and ModeID can't be found, ASL screen requester opens on WB)
