- WipeOut Deskpic Host Module
-
- Version Beta 1.0
- 10/4/93
- ********************************************************************************
-
- This is a beta module for WipeOut that will allow you to run Deskpic .DSS
- modules. It is provided as a test and we welcome any comments or questions you
- may have. Source code for this module will be made available in the BocaSoft
- forum on Compuserv in the OS/2 Vendor section in the near future, please post
- comments or questions there if possible.
-
- CONFIGURING THE DESKPIC MODULE
- Put the DESKPIC.DLL file your WipeOut directory. Run the command file
- "deskinst.cmd" in that directory. This command file will alter two files that
- configure the deskpic module into BocaSoft WipeOut, WIPERS.DAT and AUDIO.DAT.
-
- The following line is added to the WIPERS.DAT file,
-
- Deskpic 1, 5, 555, 555, Deskpic
-
- and this line is added to the AUDIO.DAT file.
-
- Deskpic 19, strings.wav, 2
-
- Note: As with any WipeOut audio file you can change this entry.
-
- RUN MODES
- When running in ALL mode the saver will cycle through all of the enabled savers
- (.DSS), in RANDOM mode a single enabled saver will be selected from the group
- (.DSS only). When the TEST push button is selected (from WipeOut or in the
- Deskpic dialog) the .DSS saver will be played regardless of the Enable flag.
-
- Try running the Deskpic module configured in ALL or RANDOM mode and the WipeOut
- Random saver configured to only run Deskpic (or other WipeOut savers included).
- This will continous play all of the .DSS modules.
-
- LIMITATIONS
- The priority slider does nothing.
- The Screen animation feature of Deskpic is not supported.
- The deskpic savers all play the same music, in the future each will probably
- have individual audio.(please, please...)
-
- SUPPORT
- Any questions or comments about this module should be posted on Compuserve in
- the BocaSoft forum.
-
-
- Enjoy!
