PlayMOD © 1995 by David C. May. All Rights Reserved.
---------------------------------------------------------
PlayMOD plays a ST/NT/PT MOD using the PTReplay.library
by Mattias Karlsson. For this reason, you must move the
PTREPLAY.LIBRARY file to LIBS: before attempting to run
PlayMOD. Once it is started, a window opens with five
gadgets to control the playback of the MOD:
Restart |< Stops a MOD and returns its play
position to the beginning. Allows
other PlayMOD and modplayers to use the
audio channels.
Pause [] Stops a MOD at its current position.
Play -> Begins playing a MOD or continues play
of a MOD from its current position.
Rewind << Moves play position back one pattern.
Fast Forward >> Moves play position forward one
pattern.
Close the window to exit.
When run as a Workbench tool, PlayMOD will play one
selected project icon. This can be done by clicking the
PlayMOD icon, holding shift, and double-clicking on a
MOD's project icon. You can also set the default tool of
the MOD's project icon to PlayMOD's pathname, then
double-clicking on the icon. If you double-click only on
the PlayMOD icon, an ASL file requester will appear,
prompting you for a MOD's pathname.
To run PlayMOD from the Shell, type:
PlayMOD <MOD File> [FULLPLAY] [SCREEN PubScreenName]
to play the desired MOD. If FULLPLAY is specified, the
MOD will be played through once and will not loop. Also,
the PlayMOD window will open without any control gadgets.
This is useful if you have a directory with several MODs,
for which you may type:
execute spat PlayMOD <MOD File Pattern> FULLPLAY
and have each MOD that matches the pattern played. If
the SCREEN keyword is used, the PlayMOD window will open
on the public screen given.
