TGF Extensions (16 bit)

[Grey Goo]

Hello!

Out of curiosity I was looking for extensions for 16 bit TGF and found this thread. While first post didn't lead me to anywhere, second post of Q-Nova allowed me find few extensions Click&Create, some them being 16 bit. While seemingly not immediately useful, I had in my memory knowledge that changing file extension would them allow them being used in TGF too. Well, it kinda worked as extensions did appear in TGF. However most interesting extension, one which allows change palette and most likely resolution too, just crashed when I tried test run program with this extension added as object. It did it even without adding any events to call or use this extension, so it might have been that extension and not that pesky ATI thing.

For those who are curious how can I even run 16 bit TGF, its simple. I am running PCem machine with Windows 3.11 installed in one of hard disk images. Emulating cheapest possible 486 @50mhz it kinda works, barely. Also extra ugly midi, with third party midi drivers.

Anyway, I am still very curious to find more extensions for 16 bit TGF. Especially sound and graphics extensions. Anyone having information about them?

Welcome to MFGG, @Grey Goo! Nice to see another person with an interest in oldschool Clickteam!

Unfortunately, I don't know about any other source for TGF extensions, especially 16-bit. I know that I found a few extensions in some of the tutorials from the main site, but I don't know if there are any 16-bit ones. In fact, I'm not sure if any members used the 16-bit versions of those old Clickteam programs. Maybe @Vitiman would know about this, but he hasn't been here for a while.

As a side note, your post made me learn that the topic you linked is the third result in DuckDuckGo when I search "tgf extensions". Pretty cool! Though, it kind of shows that there are not many places to look for in regards to these old extensions.

Indeed, 16 bit extensions are rarest piece of stuff to find for. Albeit considering that to my knowledge documents how to create extensions for TGF and thus most likely for its 16 bit version are open, they might be possible be created by one's self. Of course making usage of such document would need knowledge how to program for Windows 3.xx, as well tools which works under Windows 3.xx. Things which I am greatly lacking of myself.
