So you went and copied the best demo maker ever produced and went straight into the program without reading the dox first (don't we
all ?). But now after hours of mega frustration and sweat you finally get around to reading the instructions.
Up until now there have been none, but Blackbeard of Pendle Europa ripped its fucking arse off and found out the following....
Music Routine
-------------
Click on 'EDIT' to choose which module type you are loading. Most popular is the Noisetracker selection.
Music
-----
Click on load then wait for the directory to be loaded, then select the module by pointing to it with the mouse pointer and clicking the left mouse button (surprise surprise !). Then click on Ok or Load depending which version you are using.
Upper And Lower Scrolltext Codes
--------------------------------
Shift & S1-5 This should give you a grey 'S' followed by the number
chosen.
ie. S3
This gives the scrolltext its speed value and the
default is 3.
Shift & B1-3 This gives you copper pulse bars.
Choices are left,right & middle spread. You can also
edit the copper with 'EDIT' SCROLLBARCOLS.
Shift & M0-1 Mirror Effect 0=off 1=on. Used in conjunction with
the next command. The mirror only works with the
32 point fonts.
Shift & C1-4 This is the colour backdrop for your mirror.
You have 4 to edit.
Shift & O0-1 This operation switches between 16 pt and 32 pt fonts
in the upper and lower scroll areas.
0 = 32pt / 1 = 16pt
Shift & J1-4 This jumps your text. Only works with 16pt fonts.
Shift & H Holds Your text for a while.
Shift & L0-8 Displays a little logo for a while.
Shift & W1-6 Wibbles the 32pt font. 6 different effects.
Loading Your Own Graphics
-------------------------
Because D-Paint saves it's pictures in it's own crunched format, we
must first convert the image. A simple IFF converter will do it although I recommend KEFCONVERT on the Deadzone Troopers Utils No. 1.
1. Load your image into the converter.
2. Set the 'SAVE FILE AS' to IFF.
3. Cut your picture with the sizes given below.
4. Save em. they are ready, but they must be exact !!
Little Logo 16 Cols 320 By 54
Big Logo 16 Cols 320 By 158
32pt Font 16 Cols 320 By 192
16pt Font 1pl 1 Col 320 By 48
16pt Font 8 Cols 320 By 48
8pt Font 8 Cols 320 By 16
Vectorstars 4 Cols 128 By 15 8 Anims
Starfields 4 Cols 48 By 9 3 Sizes
Bobs 8 Cols 160 By 16 8 Anims
Use the other utils on the Deadzone Troopers RSI Extras Disks to
create Vector Objects & Vector Balls.
Best just to mess around with all of these, some pleasing effects can
be created with the right co-ordinates, so here are some guiders
for various effects.
Plasma
------
This has 2 sine waves you must control ie. XADD1 - XADD2.
XADD & YADD are raster separation variables.
Speed etc. speak for themselves. High speed numbers reverse the
direction of flow.
Vectorstars
-----------
When used in conjunction with a Vector Object, use the same X,Y,Z,
co-ordinates for both to create a 3D effect.
Most of the controls are self evident, but mess around.
Vectorballs
-----------
Angles X,Y,Z - Start Angles
Rotate X,Y,Z - Rotation Speed
Add X,Y,Z - Object Path
Bob Effect
----------
BobNo - Starting Anim Frame
BobAnim - Ending Anim Frame
Of course selection is easy as 123 with all of the above effects, just
point the mouse pointer at any number or effect and click ya left
button. All the menu contents can be 'EDIT'ed by colour. The demo
maker has an inbuilt copper editor and graphic editor so ya should
have no problems.
