- MP_STE command line
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
-
- The player can be called from another program with every option
- into the command line. You can rename it as MP_STE.TTP or MP_STE.GTP
- or else, install an application.
- If MP_STE is an accessory, it can be called from another process
- with the same options as if you were using a command line. (See FORMATS.ENG
- for the AES Message format).
-
- The command line is:
-
- <options> path\file_name
-
- The options must appear before the file name! Options can be
- separated with spaces or not.
-
- Every option is:
-
- +LETTER to set this option
- -LETTER to clear this option
-
- Available options:
-
- +d, -d
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if set will display the dialogs, if cleared won't display
- them.
- Default value: +d
-
- +p, -p
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then if set will play the sound (if
- available), if cleared won't play the sound
- Default value: +p
- Used only with AVI, MOV and Extended FLM
-
- +s, -s
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then if set will synchronise the
- images and sound, if cleared will display the images at
- the max speed.
- Default value: +s
- Used with AVI, MOV and FLx
-
- +a, -a
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then if set will simulate the Alt
- key (Alt Go! in the first dialog) to create MOVs, GIFs or
- Extended FLM from batch files or other movies.
- Default value: -a
-
- +e, -e
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then if set will display every error
- message (bad file, etc...), else if cleared, won't
- display any error message.
- Default value: -e
-
- +i, -i
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then if set will play in loop mode
- (on the mask or single file passed through the command
- line) until an event accurs (keyboard, mouse, joystick,
- midi), else will play normally.
- Default value: -i
- This is for being used with a screen saver for example.
-
- +xnnn, +ynnn
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- if '-d' is specified, then fixes the position where to
- display the anim. If a resolution switch is necessary,
- then this position will be ignored and the anim will be
- centered as usual.
- In this mode, the background is not cleared, so you can
- display an anim into one of your windows.
- There are no checking upon these coordinates, you must be
- sure that the anim fits into the screen.
- Note: +x100 or -x100 are equivalent, both x and y must be
- specified, else the coordinate is ignored.
-
- This options is not supported yet by MP_STE.
-
- Options p, s, a, i and e are only usefull when '-d' is specified,
- else, the player uses the returned values from the dialogs to set the
- options.
-
- Examples:
-
- mp_ste -d *.AVI
-
- will display every AVI from the current folder without any dialog
- and using the default values (+p, +s, -a).
-
- mp_ste -d +a c:\batch\*.bat
-
- will create MOV files from every BAT file found into the c:\batch
- folder.
-
- mp_ste -d-p+s+i C:\anims\*.*
-
- will display every file found into the anims folder without sound
- but at their normal speed (synchro is on). Will also loop into this folder
- until an event occurs (keyboard, mouse, joystick, midi), it means that
- when the end of the folder is reached, the research starts again.

-
- If you want to incorporate MP_STE into one of your creations,
- you're allowed to distribute the shareware version (grey display) with its
- DOCs and RSC as long as you contact me before.
- If you just tell your users that MP_STE can be used and let them
- get it, you don't have to contact me (but it would be cool to do it).
-
- If you would like to distribute a color version of MP_STE (you
- want to look 'pro'), you MUST contact me! Every color version must be
- paid! So we'll have to talk.
