MagicMOD © 1995 by David C. May. All Rights Reserved.
----------------------------------------------------------
MagicMOD 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
MagicMOD. Once it is started, a window opens with five
gadgets to control the playback of the MOD:
Load Mod (disk) Opens an ASL file requester to load a
new MOD. In jukebox mode, selects a
new MOD from the MOD path at random.
Restart |< Stops a MOD and returns its play
position to the beginning. Allows
other MagicMOD and MOD players 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, MagicMOD will play one
selected project icon. This can be done by clicking the
MagicMOD 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 MagicMOD's pathname, then
double-clicking on the icon. If you double-click only on
the MagicMOD icon, an ASL file requester will appear,
prompting you for a MOD's pathname.
Tooltypes read when run as a Workbench tool:
FULLPLAY - Play once, no loop, fewer control
buttons.
SCREEN=<name> - Open on public screen <name>.
MINIMIZE - Open as titlebar window.
MODPATH=<path> - Default MOD path (for ASL req.)
JUKEBOX - Play random MODs from the MOD path.
Overrides MOD selection.
To run MagicMOD from the Shell, type:
MagicMOD [<MOD File>] [FULLPLAY] [SCREEN PubScreenName]
[MINIMIZE] [MODPATH <MOD Path>] [JUKEBOX] [?]
<MOD File> - If specified, MagicMOD will play the
MOD. If not specified, an ASL file
requester will prompt you for a MOD's
pathname, using the optional MODPATH
parameter as the default path.
FULLPLAY - If specified, the MOD will be played
through once and will not loop. Also,
the MagicMOD window will open with no
load gadget. This option is useful if
you have a directory with several MODs,
for which you may type:
execute spat MagicMOD <MOD File Pattern> FULLPLAY
and have each MOD that matches the
pattern played.
SCREEN - If used, the MagicMOD window will open
on the public screen given.
MINIMIZE - If used, the window opened will be the
size of its title bar.
MODPATH - Use this to specify a MOD path when no
MOD is given or the MOD given cannot
load. (for ASL req.)
JUKEBOX - Plays MODs from the MOD path at random.
The disk icon then selects new MODs at
random. Overrides MOD selection.
? - Displays the command template for
MagicMOD.
