/* Startup script for EdPlayer. Requires ARexx.
This script should be called "Startup.EdP" and reside in
the REXX: directory. If ARexx is running when EdPlayer is
started, this script will automatically run. */
/* There is no need for an ADDRESS command here. The external commands
automatically go to a port EDPSTARTUP, so that other scripts can not
interfere. When this script exits, EDPSTARTUP will disappear and be
quickly replaced by port EDPLAYER. The user will know this has
happened because the power light on the CD panel turns on then. */
/* Any commands you see here can also be issued "on the fly" at any
time EdPlayer is running. This is done with the "telled" or "cteled"
programs, or through ARexx with ADDRESS EDPLAYER. */
'palmode' /* Default speed: NTSC, PALM (PAL Mode), or NORM (senses which
mode your computer is in). The default used to be NORM, so
that NTSC computers would come up NTSC and PAL computers would
come up PALM. However, ProTracker mods ALL sound like they
are played at PAL speed, even on NTSC machines. So, the
default is now PALM. The only reason NTSC still exists is
that lots of ST- and NT- mods still exist that sound better
in NTSC. These modes have no effect on MED modules. */
'nomidi' /* NOMI = no midi, MIDI = normal midi, MIDL <midi_dest> =
midi via Bill Barton's midi.library. */
'dcol 4' /* This tells PowerPacker what effect to use when decrunching
packed MODs.
0 = flash palette 0 on all screens
1 = flash palette 1 on all screens (EdPlayer's default)
2 = flash the mouse pointer
3 = do WEIRD FUNNY THINGS with the screen (I don't like this one)
4 = NO decrunch effect. It just sits there, quietly decrunching.
*/
'display 4' /* This controls the display mode.
Select a number from each:
TABLE 1:
0 = Prg#, Pos, Total display
1 = Line, Pos, Patt display
2 = Time (with AM/PM) display
3 = Date (month/day/year) display
TABLE 2:
0 = VU meters 0,1,2,3 (Left, Right, Right, Left)
4 = VU meters 0,3,2,1 (Left, Left, Right, Right)
8 = Spectrum Analyzer
Pick one choice from Table 1, and one choice from Table 2.
Then, ADD their numbers together! That gives you the
number to put next to the DISP command. For example, if
you wanted a Spectrum Analyzer with Line/Pos/Patt display,
you would add 8 and 1 to get 'DISP 9'. */
'synth 1' /* EdSynth keyboard graphics, fun to watch!
0 = off
1 = on, LORES
2 = on, HIRES/Interlace (flicker fixer/display enhancer
GREATLY RECOMMENDED for this mode!)
This only affects EdPlayer's CD panel mode. */
'mcolor 1' /* This tells EdPlayer whether or not to try to extract
RGB color info from MED mods and apply it to the CD panel.
This will not have any effect on mods older then MED 3.20
or on ST/NT/PT mods.
0 = normal colors, 1 = extract MED mod colors.
Note that these color changes affect scrolltext and EdSynth
as well, so `r might not be red anymore, etc., etc. Normal
colors are restored when the song is EJECTed. */
'filter 4' /* This controls the audio filter.
0 = Override song, keep filter OFF.
1 = Override song, keep filter ON.
2 = Automatic, but OFF for now.
3 = Automatic, but ON for now.
4 = Automatic. (No change right now).
Note: In automatic mode, the filter turns OFF at the
start of each song, and ON at the end. This has always
been the default. */
'frequester 0' /* This selects a file requester. If EdPlayer can't find
your choice, it will try one with a higher number.
To get <frq number>, pick a LIBRARY NUMBER from below,
and add to that number any LIBRARY FLAGS you want.
LIBRARY NUMBERS: (choose one of these numbers)
0 = kd_freq.library
16 = req.library
32 = asl.library
[others may appear in future versions]
LIBRARY FLAGS: (add none/some/all of these to above chosen #).
1 = No shadows under text. (affects: kd_freq.library)
2 = Use default size, not big size (affects: kd_freq, asl)
[more flags may appear in future versions]
For example, to use kd_freq.library with no shadowtext and a
big window, use (library #0) + (flags #1) = 'frequester 1'.
If you wanted to use asl.library with a small window,
you would use (library #32) + (flags #2) = 'frequester 34'. */
'lpri 0' /* This controls what EdPlayer's task priority will be while
loading or decrunching a song. It only accepts 0 or
negative numbers as input. The default is 0, but you
could change this to -5 or such if you wanted EdPlayer
not to strangle the CPU during a mod decrunch. BEWARE,
if you multitask EdPlayer with a Ray Tracer, Fractal
Generator, or some other CPU-intensive task while this
priority is negative, EdPlayer may not be able to get
any CPU time to load the next module with!! EdPlayer
would then freeze until the ray trace was done. So, new
users are advised to keep their hands off this one.
If you already know about Amiga task priorities, then
you can change this at your own risk. */
'DMAWait 120'
/* This command allows you to adjust the audio timing used in the
ProTracker replay routines. The PT replay routines in EdPlayer
don't use a CPU busy-loop, instead, they call the _wait1line
subroutine from the MED replay routines. In EdPlayer 2.0, they
would always call this routine with a value of 120. However, for
some systems, this value was not high enough and EdP would skip
notes in ST/NT/PT mods. So, this command lets you change the
value. If EdPlayer seems to be skipping notes, you might want
to call DMAWait with a higher <value> like 160 or 180. The higher
value you use, the less chance there is of note loss. BUT, if you
go too high, the system will suffer: the decrease in CPU time may
start to become noticable, and modem usage may get errors or
cause EdPlayer to drag the tempo down. Any <value> 10 or higher
will be accepted by this command, so if you're really trying to
crash your computer, you can enter something in the millions.
NOTE: This command only affects playback of ST/NT/PT mods.
It has no effect on MED mods.
*/
'volume 64' /* Default volume, 0 = inaudible ... 64 = max, the default. */
/* Loop, Auto (fade speed), and Random modes are not usually specified in
a startup script. Instead, they are put in each individual program
script you create (with the SAVA command). */
/* MENU, ICONify, and HIDE modes are also not specified here, as they
would override EdPlayer's command line options (-i or -h).
Workbench-only users who want EdPlayer to start in iconify mode
ALL the time might add an 'iconify' command here.
(TOOLTYPES?? You want TOOLTYPES?? Oh no, more features...:-) */
