- Short: V1.0 Cool new requester improver (animated, ...)
- Author: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
- Uploader: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
- Version: 1.0
- Type: util/misc
- Replaces: pix/misc/ReqAttackPV.lha
- Requires: OS 3.0, 68020
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- ============
-
- ReqAttack is an incredible cool new requester improver similiar to ARQ. It
- is the successor of KeyReq and improves the look and handling of requesters
- of all programs which use the standard system requester functions (Easy-
- RequestArgs, AutoRequest, BuildEasyRequestArgs, BuildSysRequest) for that
- purpose.
-
-
- CHANGES IN V 1.0:
- =================
-
- o Lots of new configuration items to enhance the look of
- requesters (especially it's buttons) even more.
-
- o For configuration items which expect a color you can
- now also specify a direct colormap (palette) pen by
- putting a '#' char in front of the number.
-
- o Background pattern did not work at all on OS 3.0 and
- still had a few bugs even on OS 3.1.
-
- o Transparency bug with CyberGraphX + SuperLayers should
- be fixed. Smart refresh windows created with LAYERS-
- NOBACKFILL are backfilled to color 0 with the standard
- Amiga layers library anyway, although they shouldn't.
- SuperLayers obviously does it correctly. I found this
- out only after someone reported the bug - I don't have
- a GFX card.
-
- o The checkitem SCREENDEPTH didn't return the correct
- value for HiColor and TrueColor screens. I used to
- look at DrawInfo->dri_Depth and this turned out to be
- never greater than 8. Strange ...
-
- o Commodities Interface. You can disbable ReqAttack tem-
- porarily (new opened requester will not be enhanced by
- Requester) and quit it with Exchange.
-
- o New version of CyReq. On some systems the dos.library
- function ErrorReport() (which creates a new task to
- display the requester) seems to run out of stack very
- soon, so on some systems it was enough to enter some-
- thing like "stupidtest:" in the Workbench's Execute
- Command window to make the computer crash once the re-
- quester asking for the disk "stupidtest:" was replied
- by the user. Now this should be fixed by using Stack
- swapping in CyReq's EasyRequestArgs() patch. The very
- strange thing is that ReqAttack since ever has used
- Stack swapping in BuildEasyRequestArgs() (which is
- called by CyReq's EasyRequestArgs() patch). On a PC
- running UAE + Picasso96 even CyReq running alone has
- caused the same crashes because of stack problems (I
- think). This is very strange since CyReq used very
- little stack and afte r all does not do nearly any-
- thing.
-
- I found the place in the ROM, where ErrorReport() cre-
- ates it's task with too little stack so I might do a
- little utility to patch a ROM file and/or a BlizKick
- module sometime.
-
- o New Tool "QuitReqAttack". Can be used to quit Req-
- Attack from Shell scripts and ToolManager like pro-
- grams.
-
- o Improved docs a little bit which are now also availab-
- le in German.
-
-
-
- FEATURES:
- =========
-
- o Configurable requester logos which can also be animated.
-
- o Configurable button images and button look.
-
- o Configurable requester background pattern.
-
- o Keyboard control. Cycling through buttons with TAB, SHIFT TAB and CURSOR
- keys. Activation of highlighted gadget with RETURN and another configur-
- able key (default LCOMMAND v). Activation of rightmost gadget width ESCAPE
- and another configurable key (default LCOMMAND b). Activation of buttons
- by keyboard can be aborted by pressing SHIFT or ESCAPE before releasing
- the button activation key.
-
- o Possibility to drag the requesters around by clicking anywhere in the
- window.
-
- o Possibility to make the requesters open in the center of the screen or
- under the mouse pointer.
-
- o Very special conditional configuration.
-
- o It's possible to configure almost everything, like spacing between the
- single elements of the requester and it's alignment, the color of the
- highlight rectangle and much more.
