Enclosed:
MoviePlayer 1.0a
SetToIFF 1.0
IFFToSet 1.0
The files are supplied as file1, file2, ... , to convert these to the
proper names type:
"Execute ExecuteMe" from the CLI.
All three applications are meant for use with MovieSetter 1.0 from Gold
Disk Inc. MovieSetter 1.0 is available for $99.95 (US), for ordering
information contact your local dealer or call 1-800-387-8192 (US)
or 1-416-828-0913 (CANADA).
MoviePlayer 1.0a
Two minor bugs were found in MoviePlayer 1.0 which have been fixed.
The -l (looping enable) and -o (overscan enable) command line options were
always enabled in 1.0. In 1.0a, looping and overscan are defaulted to
disabled when running from the CLI. The WorkBench equivelants work in 1.0.
NOTE: MoviePlayer 1.0a is for NON-COMMERCIAL use only. To use MoviePlayer 1.0a
in a commercial application, contact Gold Disk Inc.
SetToIFF 1.0
Once a set is created in MovieSetter, it can be a tedious affair to
edit individual set images in other graphics programs, or to perform an
external operation on an entire set (such as re-coloring). To simplify
this type of editting, this program takes a set and splits it into
individual IFF pictures, with set specific information (ie. registration
marks) stored in a separate data file. Version 1.0 requires that the
resulting pictures be placed in one directory. The program may be run
either from the WorkBench or CLI.
CLI Interface :
SetToIFF [-d#] filename [filename...]
-d# = # of bitplanes
filename = set to split into IFF pictures (full name required
including .set suffix)
outputs: [filename].iff#, # = 1 .. number of set elements in set
[filename].data, information to recreate set (including
number of set elements, reg. marks, etc.)
WorkBench Interface :
Tool Types :
DEPTH=# # of bitplanes
To split a set(s) into images, click on the set(s) you wish to
convert, while holding down the SHIFT key, and double-click on
the SetToIFF icon (with the SHIFT key still held down). Icons for
each element of each set will be created along with a data icon.
This icon is an interface to IFFToSet. To recreate the set from
the pictures, simply double-click on the data icon (clicking on
the pictures is NOT necessary for the reverse case).
IFFToSet 1.0
This utility recreates a set from a group of pictures created by
SetToIFF. It may not be used on an arbitrary group of IFF pictures,
the SetEditor supplies that function suitably. All pictures and
the .data file must exist in a single directory.
CLI Interface :
IFFToSet [-d#] filename [filename...]
-d# = # of bitplanes
filename = name of set to recreate (same as filename given to
SetToIFF)
WorkBench Interface :
Tool Types :
DEPTH=# # of bitplanes
Simply double-clicking on the .data icon (the image is a reverse
of the icon for SetToIFF) will recreate the set. Several sets
may be recreated at once by extend selecting (selecting while holding
down the shift key) and double-clicking on the last .data icon.
General Notes:
It is recommended that SetToIFF and IFFToSet be copied onto your working
copy of MovieSetter, because the .data file's Default Tool is
"MovieSetter:IFFToSet". If you are running from a hard-disk, use the
CLI command Assign to attach "MovieSetter:" to the directory containing
all MovieSetter related programs (see the AmigaDOS manual for more
information on the CLI).
Enjoy!
