Loading gd2 files one after another in FT800 ram memory

[mmtbaris]

Hi guys,

I have a problem about loading gd2 files one after another in FT800 ram memory. For example, assume that I have 2 different gd2 assets which contain ARGB4 images. When I run the code below:

GD.Clear();

GD.load("pic1.gd2");
GD.Begin(BITMAPS);
GD.Vertex2ii(200, 50);

GD.load("pic2.gd2");
GD.Begin(BITMAPS);
GD.Vertex2ii(0, 0);

GD.swap();

the pic2 damages the pic1. In other words, pic2 is displayed correctly, but the pic1 is not. I guess the reason is that "GD.load" function always loads asset files to memory starting from the address 0.

I want to learn that if there is a way to load second asset file beginning from end of the first asset file in FT800 memory, as GD2 library does automatically when loading jpg files below:

GD.begin();

GD.BitmapHandle(0);
GD.cmd_loadimage(0, 0);
GD.load("sunrise.jpg");

GD.BitmapHandle(1);
GD.cmd_loadimage(-1, 0);
GD.load("healsky3.jpg");

Could you please help me about this issue?

Thank you in advance

Right, the asset files always load data starting at address zero.

Could you put pic1 and pic2 into the same asset file? Then the code would be:

GD.load("pic12.gd2");
GD.Begin(BITMAPS);
GD.Vertex2ii(200, 50, PIC1_HANDLE);

GD.Vertex2ii(0, 0, PIC2_HANDLE);
