Frequently Asked Questions


1.
 Q: Wildfire crashes my machine. I have an 68040 processor.

 A:  Try to run the `Patch for 68040 bug in "mathieeesingbas.library"
     V40` MathPatch.lha


2.
 Q: Does the transition maker not work in the demo mode?

 A: Since Version 3.90 it is fixed!


3.
 Q: Wildfire crashes on my CyberGFX-System!

 A: Just decrunch the draggadget.lha archive from the Wildfire/Bonus
    drawer and start the `patchgels` program.  This will fix a bug inside
    the old Cybergrafix Software.  Some other bugs are fixed in the
    latest version!  Just copy the new version (check if it is newer than
    your version!) of the drag.gadget into the Wildfire/System drawer.


4.
 Q: Wildfire asks for amigaguide.library V37 at startup but I have
    installed it!!!

 A: Be sure your startup-sequence contains the following lines:

     assign libs: hd0:classes add
     adddatatypes refresh quiet             (since OS3.1)

    This is necessary because the amigaguide.datatype and maybe some
    other components will be initialized while opening the
    system-libraries.  (This means that the error-message which is
    produced by the startup-code I use is wrong.)


5.
 Q: Which assigns etc. are necessary to run your program ?

 A: Wildfire works after booting without startup-sequence if you enter
    the following lines:

     setpatch
     assign libs: hd0:classes add
     adddatatypes refresh quiet
     stack 10000
     wf

    After that the most parts of the program (converting, processing
    images, playing animations) work without problems.  The only "bad"
    thing I found is the online-help which is displayed as plain text.


6.
 Q: There are plans to create PowerPC-version of Wildfire ?

 A: Yes, a PowerPC-version will be available very soon.
    (The compiler is installed but we have no PPC-board yet.)


7.
 Q: How about a p.OS-version of Wildfire ?

 A: We are working on it!
