It's put in gift ware programs that means if You like it
You should send me a gift. I prefer A1200 Tower, or Bjork CD, but email
or better postcard from your home city will be good too.
Installation
------------
Playerek needs only 2 things to run
any amiga (kick 1.1 or above)
reqtools library in 'Libs:' drawer
med.library to hear med modules
What the hell is Playerek ?
--------------------------
It's a tiny proggy that allows to hear Pro/Star Tracker
and Med modules (with med.library)
Features:
Sprite Equalizer (at the moment only for Pro Tracker)
visible on any system screens including ViewTek, Directory Opus, Civilization...
Low memory usage about 32kb main proggy (dir takes about 12k) +40kb reqtools
Many decrunch formats (lha, xpk, CrM, pmc, powerpacker) need more ? write to me
CIA player
Works on any kick-start
You can put it in startup-sequence (have some problems when setpath QUIT is in too)
KnownBugs:
Doc in very bad English
I get 1 report that Playerek have some problem with modem.
My friends and i, use it for long time with parnet, sernet, sampler, printer,
cdrom, digitalizer, twinexpress without any problems.
Anyone with modem could send me an email ?
Decrunch formats
----------------
Playerek can decrunch following formats:
.pp powerpacker with powerpacker.library
.xpk xpk xpkmaster.library and some sublibs
.pmc lh lh.library
.crm crunchmania CrM.library
.lha (.lzh) lharc lha somewere on Yor disk
So make sure that this libraries exists in LIBS: before decrunch files
NOTE TO XPK: there are libraries for 68020 and others. So USE one for Your procesor
XPK LIBRARY DOSEN'T CHECK THIS !!! You just get a guru
Use xpkSQSH library for modules. Its appear to be the best and fastes at the moment
Icon Options
------------
dir=(Your desired directory) for example dir=dh1:modules
mod=(Your desired module (full path!)) fe: mod=dh1:modules/mod.galaxy ii.xpk
will be loaded and played at start
info=(YES)(NO) show pattern pos, speed on workbench bar, default is NO
equ=(0->3) diffrent equalizers 0=no equlizer
replay=(0>3) 0rnd 1prev 2next 3replay current
replay current module or load rnd module from list
default is 0 (have no use with med module)
replays reload modules when song reached its end or after 2 Bxx commands
lha=lhark options
lzx=- - - - - - -
tempdir=where to decrunch lha lzx
CLI Options
-----------
PLS (-options) (module to load)
x = at start load xpkmaster.library
p = - - - - - powerpacker.library
c = - - - - - CrM.library
l = - - - - - lh.library
m = turn multitasking at start [normal will load all libraries, modules
q = quiet start no choose file at start [just window
s = no sprite
for example: PLS -pm df1:mod.how 2 skin a cat.pp
will load powerpacker.lib[p] multitasking at start[m],
load and play df1:mod.how 2 skin a cat.pp
Options 'xpcl' are useful only for disk users, with that options Playerek will
load those libraries at start, and later you won't need to change disk
GADGETS
-------
From left to right:
EJECT = Load new module
FIRST = First module from list
PREVIOUS = Previous module from list
PLAY/PAUSE = How to say it ? *
FAST = Play module faster *
NEXT = Next module from list
LAST = Last module from list
STOP = Stop playing... (that was the hard one :))
TRASH = Free memory occupied by module (and stops play :))
RND = Random module from list
RESTART = Restart options next/prev/replay/rnd
INFO = Sample names *
ABOUT = Autor address, memory info
JUMP = After 3 seconds Playerek jump to first screen
NOTE: IF Window cannot be opened (screen is to low) Playerek
sends 'display beep' and after 3 seconds tried again :)
ZZ = Iconify Playerek
Things with * works only for ProTracker type modules,
med.library don't have options for this, (anyway i listen only 'BigTimeSensuality' in med)
and i DO NOT have good med module format explanation...
If you have something like this, SEND ME!
Now You can use 'i' to see info about module (it's THE greatest options of all! :)))
Press 'S' to save module (only protracker for med a would have to dereloc module =:-((
By the way... 'Wybierz moduliczek' means 'Choose module'
