- 1. INFO
-
- CapaMod 3.x is capable of playing MODs, S3Ms and XMs through Gravis Ultra-
- Sound. It uses CapaPlay ][ which is included in CAPAPLA2.ZIP.
-
- 2. THE USAGE
-
- First of all, you must have ULTRASND environment variable set. CapaMod
- won't work without it. And if you still encounter some problems, please make
- sure that you have installed the ULTRINIT, although it is not necessary.
- If you encounter some problems with GUS IRQ, use the option /TMR to force
- CapaMod to use system timer instead of GUS IRQ. Or if the computer hangs
- while loading a module, try disabling DMA transfers with option /NDM.
-
- Here's the command line syntax:
-
- Syntax: CMOD [filespec] @[listfile] [options]
- /AMPx - set amplification (0..48) (default=auto configure)
- /AMY - force to Amiga limits (use only octaves 3-5)
- /CHNx - set default number of visible channels (0..32) (default=16)
- /CLRx - set environment color (0=default, 1=red, 2=green, 3=blue)
- /DIR[dir] - set default directory for file selector
- /EXE[file] - start playing and execute [file]
- /FADx - set fade speed (0..9) (default=9, fastest)
- /HLP - command line help
- /KBD - disable key repeating speed set
- /LIN - enable line in
- /LOPx - set number of loops (0..255) (default=255, loop forever)
- /MIC - enable mic in
- /MIDx - file selector's mid window mode (0..2) (default=0, help)
- /NDM - disable DMA transfer
- /NO0 - disable speed zero
- /NPN - disable pan effects
- /PANx - set default panning (-127..127) (default=36)
- /QIT - quit after reaching the end if only one module is to be played
- /RND - play modules in random order
- /SCRx - screen saver after x seconds idle (default=0, disabled)
- /TMR - use system timer instead of GUS's own IRQ
- /VBL - VBlank: disable tempo, speed scale 0-255 (only MODs)
-
- You can also put your favorite command line options into an environment
- variable. Here is mine for example:
-
- SET CAPAMOD=/dird:\music\modstuff\mods /clr1 /mid1 /chn32
-
- The file selector has a support for ZIP-files, although you cannot tag
- files within a ZIP. To use ZIP support, make sure you have a path to a
- directory containing PKUNZIP.EXE.
-
- 3. CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
-
- If you find any bugs or encounter some problems, don't hesitate to contact
- me. And yes, CapaMod is still rubberware! That means if you use CapaMod, you
- must send me a condom. If you prefer money to condoms, you can send me ten
- US bucks.
