I DONT PROMISE ANYTHING, BUT I THINK THAT THE FOLLOWING
FEATURES HAVE A VERY GOOD CHANCE TO BE IMPLEMENTED
-The IFF-Anim8 modules, these modules are in fact nearly ready but I
decided not to include them yet. I only have the specs for reference
and will rather wait to see if my implementation of the specs are
confirmed by other programs.
-An animation loader/saver for VRLIs Vista Pro format
-Mpeg loader
-More picture modules
-User defineable shortcuts ala TurboText
-Support of 24 Bit modules, for example modules for graphiccards.
-An arexx preferences window, allowing you to attach arexx scripts
to your function keys. This one has top priority for V 1.1.
-far more arexx scripts (sinus (de)-acceleration scripts and more).
-Support for animation icons, MainActor
should not examine the whole animation but look at the animation icon
(if previously saved with MainActor) instead.
Of course this has its weaknesses, if you change
the animation with another program, the information in the icons
will not be updated.
-An external player which uses the modules and the animation icon, look
above.
-German documentation
---
In the long run i want to make a complete MultiMedia package out
of MainActor with Sound and Effect modules.
The planned sample per frame option is the first
step in that direction, instead of integrating the samples in the
animations/pictures itself, there will be a new module type : Sound.
You will be able to associate sound modules to every frame/picture. Sound
modules could for example be samples or protracker play routines.
