Playmaster runs from CLI or Workbench. It will attempt to
load up to 36 sounds if passed on the commandline.
"PlayMaster sound1 sound2 sound3 etc".
You may build an icon for PlayMaster and put a soundfilename
on each tooltype line. Either just the full:path/name of your
sound file, or "X=Full:path/name" where X is a number or letter.
Either list may contain one or more entries nameing ascii files with
one IFF sound filename on each line. Again use the full:path/name.
Once started, filename will appear next to buttons.
Push the appropriate key or click the gadget to play the sound.
Click the gadget while holding right-amiga key to open file
requester for loading new sound to that button. If a given button
has been loaded before, file req will open to that directory.
If not, file req will open to the last directory it used.
On the FIRST open to an unloaded button, filreq opens to current
dir of Playmaster.
Playmaster only DEMANDS chip mem to play a sound. When loading
sounds, it requests MEMF_PUBLIC which will return fast ram
if it's available. Sound is moved to chip ram for playing.
You may now specify the smallest and or largest size sound to
be loaded into memory. Anything smaller than "smallest" or
larger than "largest" is read directly from disk. Not bad if
disk is a hard drive. Sounds longer than 25K or so can be interupted
by floppy drive read speed. (Or lack thereof).
Sounds not loaded into memory, but located by PlayMaster will be
listed in RED next to thier gadet.
-l# as any perameter fron CLI or any ToolType from Workbench
sets "largest". Largest defaults to 150000.
-s# sets smallest. Smallest defaults to 0.
Have a ball!
