- MacTrek 1.5 Sound Effects Installer ReadMe
- ------------------------------------------
-
- This program installs the digitized sound effects for MacTrek 1.5.
-
- To use: Run the installer program. It will put up an "Open" dialog box, showing
- only application programs; find your copy of MacTrek 1.5 and open it. (Don't
- worry if you accidentally select another application program; the installer
- checks to see if you actually selected the MacTrek program, and alerts you if
- you didn't.) The installer will show a progress dialog with the names of the
- sounds it's installing; when it finishes, the installer program will return to
- the Finder.
-
- For the technically minded: The sounds the installer copies are stored as 'snd '
- resources in the resource fork of the program. I've given a complete listing of
- the sounds, their resource ID's and their resource names. You can use this
- information to replace the sounds with ones you recorded yourself, if you have
- access to a digitizer and ResEdit. Simply record a sound, save it as a 'snd '
- resource, copy it into the resource fork of the installer program, and give it
- the same name and resource ID# as the sound you want to replace. NOTE: YOU MUST
- MAKE SURE THE BOTH THE NAME AND ID# ARE IDENTICAL. THIS IS HOW MACTREK
- RECOGNIZES THE SOUNDS. IF YOU DON'T, THE SOUNDS WILL NOT WORK. Then re-run the
- installer program. Your new sounds will replace the old ones.
-
- I hereby give my blessing to those who want to try this, though I advise you to
- keep an untouched copy of the installer around in case you want to go back to
- the old sounds. I even give permission to distribute your own version of the
- sound effects, UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
-
- 1. You make it CLEAR in the instructions you distribute with your sound package
- that the sounds came from you. This is to both give you credit where it's
- due and to protect me if someone does something stupid, like releasing a
- package of obscene sounds or legally protected sounds. In fact, I'd prefer
- you not do this at all ;) but if you must, I hearby disavow any
- responsibility.
-
- 2. You must use a copy of this installer to distribute the sounds. This is to
- make things easy on the user.
-
- 3. You may NOT -- repeat, may NOT -- distribute a copy of the MacTrek program
- with your sounds installed. Any copies of MacTrek you distribute must be
- the "clean", unaltered copy I originally uploaded to the online services.
-
- Good luck, and have fun!
