NATURALNAME    "Scala"
MSG 0x29a80000 "This is the Main menu. It gives you access to all other Scala MultiMedia menus and functions.@pgEach row in the Main menu in which there is information represents a page in the script. The columns hold information or events associated with the page as a whole. The number of columns displayed depends upon the number of EX modules installed, which can vary.@pgYou can adjust the width and order of the columns to suit your requirements. To adjust the column width, place the pointer in the space between the column to be adjusted and the column to its right. When you press the main mouse button in this area, it highlights and you can then drag left to decrease or right to increase the column width.@pgTo reposition columns, drag the column heading to the left or right until it is in its desired position. (The No. and Name columns cannot be repositioned.)"
MSG 0x29a80400 "Lets you add a new page. Opens the File menu, where you can choose backgrounds or sub-scripts, or create a special event page, which could contain a sound, branch, or other event."
MSG 0x29a84400 "Opens a requester containing the advanced script options"
MSG 0x29a80800 "Allows you to copy all the files associated with a script-its background, clips, sounds, etc.-to the disk on which you are saving the script itself."
MSG 0x29a80c00 "Allows you to copy the fonts used in a script to the disk on which you are saving the script itself."
MSG 0x29a81000 "Allows you to copy the Scala Alpha wipe files used in a script to the disk on which you are saving the script itself."
MSG 0x29a84800 "Forces the saved script to be editable with a standard text editor. In some cases, this will also result in an extra .dat file which contains some of the script contents."
MSG 0x29a81800 "Gives direct access to Scala's seven Design menus."
MSG 0x29a81c00 "Design pop-up"
MSG 0x29a82000 "Provides various basic editing functions."
MSG 0x29a82400 "Takes you to the Open Script File menu with the Scripts folder displayed by default. Double-click on the script that you want to work with to open it."
MSG 0x29a82800 "Creates a page with a solid, single-color background."
MSG 0x29a84c00 "Starts the Scala Publisher Tool"
MSG 0x29a82c00 "Lets you view the selected pages of the script. Press Esc to halt the Preview and return to the Main menu."
MSG 0x29a83000 "Runs the current script. You can stop the script by pressing Esc."
MSG 0x29a83400 "Takes you into the Save Script File menu, showing the folder from which the current script was opened. Click OK to save the current script under the same name, or enter a new name in the File> text box."
MSG 0x29a83800 "Toggles between Shuffler view (miniature pictures) and List view (page names). In Shuffler view, pages such as backgrounds or animations are shown graphically in miniatures. Other types of pages, such as groups, sound events and sub-scripts, are labeled with the name of the file."
MSG 0x29a83c00 "Lets you add an event other than a background-such as a sound event or pause-as a page."
MSG 0x29a84000 "Lets you choose The Team, which runs the Scala Team script; Publish, which opens the Publish Script menu; or Options, which opens the Scala Options menu."
MSG 0x29a85000 "Options menu"
MSG 0x29a85400 "The Scala Options menu displays system information and contains options that you can use to customize Scala and control script performance."
MSG 0x29a8fc00 "Opens the Scala Options menu, which you can use to customize Scala and control script performance."
MSG 0x29a85800 "Scala EX Modules scrolling list"
MSG 0x29a85c00 "Lists the Scala EX (extension) modules installed, including modules that form the core of Scala. Certain EXes can be activated or deactivated by clicking at the right end of the EX button. EX buttons with three dots (...) after the name open a dialog in which you can make further settings for that EX."
MSG 0x29a86000 "General Options."
MSG 0x29a86400 "Contains options that you can use to customize Scala and control script performance."
MSG 0x29a86800 "Opens a dialog that lets you select menu screen resolutions from the modes that your graphics card supports."
MSG 0x29a86c00 "Lets you select an independent screen resolution and number of colors for Design menus, from among those that your display adapter supports. You can specify a resolution that will always be used, or have the Design menu follow the current background."
MSG 0x29a87000 "Lets you force all pages in a script to play at the same resolution, regardless of how each page is set individually. Resolution options available depend on your graphics card. The Adapt option (the default) chooses resolution based on the Page Resolution setting specified for the current page in the Design Background menu."
MSG 0x29a87400 "Cycles through a series of predefined menu screen color combinations."
MSG 0x29a87800 "Lets you use Snapload options to optimize script performance. The Dynamic setting (the default), preloads script data as needed while the script plays. None does no preloading; each script element is loaded when it is needed."
MSG 0x29a87c00 "Clicking on this button controls whether the Main menu Shuffler continues to generate its page images when you are not in Shuffler view. The value control specifies the number of miniatures to display in a row in the Main Shuffler."
MSG 0x29a88000 "When on, Shuffler view is the default in the Main menu."
MSG 0x29a88400 "Clicking on this button controls whether the File menu Shuffler continues to generate its images for graphic files when you are not in Shuffler view. The value control specifies the number of miniatures to display in a row in the File Shuffler."
MSG 0x29a88800 "When on, Shuffler view is the default in the File menu."
MSG 0x29a88c00 "When on, saves File Shuffler miniatures to disk after displaying them."
MSG 0x29a89000 "Lets you change the font used for most text in the Scala menus."
MSG 0x29a89400 "Lets you change the small font used for column headings and other labels in Scala menus."
MSG 0x29a8e400 "Lets you change the font used for the text in the Scala help menus."
MSG 0x29a8e800 "Lets you change the small font used for the column heading in the Scala help menus."
MSG 0x29a89800 "Lets you control how your graphics card updates the screen. This affects the smoothness of wipes and animations. There are three options: Screen, Timer, and None.@pgScreen mode: Screen updating is synchronized with the vertical refresh rate of the monitor, and is the default. When you turn on Screen mode, Double Buffering is also turned on by default. This is normally the best setting.@pgTimer mode: Screen updating occurs at a rate you set yourself by using the Sync Timer Rate value control. Use this option if your system cannot render images fast enough to keep up with Screen mode. Sync Timer Rate is available only when you are in the Timer mode.@pgNone: Screen updating is as fast as possible, with no synchronization. Use this only with particularly slow systems."
MSG 0x29a89c00 "This value control, enabled only when Sync Mode is set to Timer, controls the screen update rate. Using a lower rate gives the system more time to render each frame before updating the screen. The graphics mode's vertical refresh rate (typically between 60 and 72) is a practical upper limit; around 15 is a practical lower limit. You will need to experiment to find the best setting."
MSG 0x29a8a000 "Double Buffering is a technique used to avoid flickering and maintain smoothness between frames. Not all graphics cards support double buffering, and it can place a heavy load on those that do."
MSG 0x29a8a400 "Cycles the current video standard between PAL, SECAM and NTSC. This option is intended for support of future EXes."
MSG 0x29a8a800 "Info: selector"
MSG 0x29a8ac00 "Switches between information on System, Drives, and Versions."
MSG 0x29a8b000 "Restores Scala's default Options menu settings and Main menu column arrangement."
MSG 0x29a8b400 "Lets you save your current Options menu settings, as well as the Main menu column arrangement, as the defaults."
MSG 0x29a8b800 "Accepts changes and returns to the Main menu."
MSG 0x29a8bc00 "Closes the Options menu and returns to the Main menu, discarding any changes you made."
MSG 0x29a8ec00 "Closes Scala. If there are unsaved changes to any of the scripts, Scala will ask if you want to save changes to the scripts before exiting or return to Scala."
MSG 0x29a8c000 "Deletes selected items from the screen and places them on the Scala clipboard"
MSG 0x29a8c400 "Copies selected items to the Scala clipboard."
MSG 0x29a8c800 "Pastes the most recently cut or copied item(s) from the Scala clipboard into the sequence of pages, after the selected page."
MSG 0x29a8cc00 "Deletes selected items permanently. A warning dialog asks if you are sure you want to proceed. (Deleting items from a script affects only the script, and has no effect on files an item may refer to.)"
MSG 0x29a8d000 "Groups all selected pages together into a single group page. The order in which they were selected determines their order in the group. The group is placed at the same location in the script as the first item selected. Grouped pages appear darker than other items on the Main menu. Double-click on a group to see its contents."
MSG 0x29a8d400 "Dissolves a group into its constituent pages. They appear in the location formerly occupied by the group, in their grouped order."
MSG 0x29a8d800 "Selects all pages in the script."
MSG 0x29a8f000 "Menu Resolution:"
MSG 0x29a8f400 "Shows the available resolutions and number of colors for Scala menus. Using a higher resolution lets you see more information on the screen. The screen mode changes when you click on a choice. If the new screen mode causes an unreadable or less desirable display, press Esc to return to the previous resolution. If a Refresh rate list appears, you can choose a vertical refresh rate for the display."
MSG 0x29a90000 "Design Resolution:"
MSG 0x29a90400 "Shows the available resolutions and number of colors for the Design menus. Adapt allows the Design screen to change resolution to match the background. If a Refresh rate list appears, you can choose a vertical refresh rate for the display."
MSG 0x29a8dc00 "Play Resolution:"
MSG 0x29a8e000 "Choosing a resolution other than Adapt forces all pages in a script to play at that resolution. Individual resolution settings made in the Design Background menu are retained, but overridden by this Play Resolution setting. Adapt allows the individual page resolutions to take effect when you do not need to force a single play resolution. If a Refresh rate list appears, you can choose a vertical refresh rate for the display."
MSG 0x29a8f800 "Displays a list of team members involved in the development of Scala MM200."
