- /* Startup script for EdPlayer. Requires ARexx.
- This script should be called "Startup.EdP" and reside in
- the REXX: directory. If ARexx is running when EdPlayer is
- started, this script will automatically run. */
-
- /* There is no need for an ADDRESS command here. The external commands
- automatically go to a port EDPSTARTUP, so that other scripts can not
- interfere. When this script exits, EDPSTARTUP will disappear and be
- quickly replaced by port EDPLAYER. The user will know this has
- happened because the power light on the CD panel turns on then. */
-
- /* Any commands you see here can also be issued "on the fly" at any
- time EdPlayer is running. This is done with the "telled" or "cteled"
- programs, or through ARexx with ADDRESS EDPLAYER. */
-
- 'palmode' /* Default speed: NTSC, PALM (PAL Mode), or NORM (senses which
- mode your computer is in). The default used to be NORM, so
- that NTSC computers would come up NTSC and PAL computers would
- come up PALM. However, ProTracker mods ALL sound like they
- are played at PAL speed, even on NTSC machines. So, the
- default is now PALM. The only reason NTSC still exists is
- that lots of ST- and NT- mods still exist that sound better
- in NTSC. These modes have no effect on MED modules. */
-
- 'nomidi' /* NOMI = no midi, MIDI = normal midi, MIDL <midi_dest> =
- midi via Bill Barton's midi.library. */
-
- 'dcol 4' /* This tells PowerPacker what effect to use when decrunching
- packed MODs.
- 0 = flash palette 0 on all screens
- 1 = flash palette 1 on all screens (EdPlayer's default)
- 2 = flash the mouse pointer
- 3 = do WEIRD FUNNY THINGS with the screen (I don't like this one)
- 4 = NO decrunch effect. It just sits there, quietly decrunching.

-
- 'display 4' /* This controls the display mode.
- Select a number from each:
- TABLE 1:
- 0 = Prg#, Pos, Total display
- 1 = Line, Pos, Patt display
- 2 = Time (with AM/PM) display
- 3 = Date (month/day/year) display
- TABLE 2:
- 0 = VU meters 0,1,2,3 (Left, Right, Right, Left)
- 4 = VU meters 0,3,2,1 (Left, Left, Right, Right)
- 8 = Spectrum Analyzer
- Pick one choice from Table 1, and one choice from Table 2.
- Then, ADD their numbers together! That gives you the
- number to put next to the DISP command. For example, if
- you wanted a Spectrum Analyzer with Line/Pos/Patt display,
- you would add 8 and 1 to get 'DISP 9'. */
-
- 'synth 1' /* EdSynth keyboard graphics, fun to watch!
- 0 = off
- 1 = on (highly recommended)
- This only affects EdPlayer's CD panel mode. */
-
- 'mcol 1' /* This tells EdPlayer whether or not to try to extract
- RGB color info from MED mods and apply it to the CD panel.
- This will not have any effect on mods older then MED 3.20
- or on ST/NT/PT mods.
- 0 = normal colors, 1 = extract MED mod colors.
- Note that these color changes affect scrolltext and EdSynth
- as well, so `r might not be red anymore, etc., etc. Normal
- colors are restored when the song is EJECTed. */
-
- 'filter 4' /* This controls the audio filter.
- 0 = Override song, keep filter OFF.
- 1 = Override song, keep filter ON.
- 2 = Automatic, but OFF for now.
- 3 = Automatic, but ON for now.
- 4 = Automatic. (No change right now).
- Note: In automatic mode, the filter turns OFF at the
- start of each song, and ON at the end. This has always
- been the default. */
-
- 'frequester 0' /* This selects a file requester. If EdPlayer can't find
- your choice, it will try one with a higher number.
- To get <frq number>, pick a LIBRARY NUMBER from below,
- and add to that number any LIBRARY FLAGS you want.
-
- LIBRARY NUMBERS: (choose one of these numbers)
- 0 = kd_freq.library
- 16 = req.library
- [others like asl.library may appear in future versions]
-
- LIBRARY FLAGS: (add none/some/all of these to above chosen #).
- 1 = No shadows under text. (affects: kd_freq.library)
- 2 = Use default size, not big size (affects: kd_freq.library)
- [more flags may appear in future versions]
-
- For example, to use kd_freq.library with no shadowtext and a
- big window, use (library #0) + (flags #1) = 'FREQ 1'. */
-
- 'lpri 0' /* This controls what EdPlayer's task priority will be while
- loading or decrunching a song. It only accepts 0 or
- negative numbers as input. The default is 0, but you
- could change this to -5 or such if you wanted EdPlayer
- not to strangle the CPU during a mod decrunch. BEWARE,
- if you multitask EdPlayer with a Ray Tracer, Fractal
- Generator, or some other CPU-intensive task while this
- priority is negative, EdPlayer may not be able to get
- any CPU time to load the next module with!! EdPlayer
- would then freeze until the ray trace was done. So, new
- users are advised to keep their hands off this one.
- If you already know about Amiga task priorities, then
- you can change this at your own risk. */
-
- 'volume 64' /* Default volume, 0 = inaudible ... 64 = max, the default. */
-
- /* Loop, Auto (fade speed), and Random modes are not usually specified in
- a startup script. Instead, they are put in each individual program
- script you create (with the SAVA command). */
-
- /* MENU, ICONify, and HIDE modes are also not specified here, as they
- would override EdPlayer's command line options (-i or -h).
- Workbench-only users who want EdPlayer to start in iconify mode
- ALL the time might add an 'iconify' command here.
- (TOOLTYPES?? You want TOOLTYPES?? Oh no, more features...:-) */
