Subject: Re: Editing diagonal guardians in JSWED

 

Andrew:

1) Are Broadsoft Lifts JSW II-style lifts?
2) I have a vertical guardian with these bytes:
12 6f 5d 30 fe e0 30 d0

Adding #10 to the second byte turns it into:
12 7f 5d 30 fe e0 30 d0

But this guardian is not a lift (or at least not a JSW II lift).

So, what am I doing wrong?

Byte 1: %AAALBIII
- %AAA: animation-mask (%011 unidirectional, %111 bidirectional)
- %L: lift-flag (if using Broadsoft Lifts: 0 non-lift, 1 lift),
otherwise unused
- %B: BRIGHT
- %III: INK (0 to 7)

In JSWED's guardian-editor, the rightmost "Animation" box controls
%AAA, the colour-selector controls %III, and the "Bright" checkbox
controls %B. JSWED doesn't recognise Broadsoft Lifts, therefore %L
has to be set manually (by clicking the "!" button and adding #10 to
the second byte to convert a non-lift to a lift, or subtracting #10
to convert a lift to a non-lift).
