- MagicMOD plays a ST/NT/PT MOD using the PTReplay.library
- by Mattias Karlsson. For this reason, you must move the
- PTREPLAY.LIBRARY file to LIBS: before attempting to run
- MagicMOD. Once it is started, a window opens with five
- gadgets to control the playback of the MOD:
-
- Load Mod (disk) Opens an ASL file requester to load a
- new MOD. In jukebox mode, selects a
- new MOD from the MOD path at random.
- Restart |< Stops a MOD and returns its play
- position to the beginning. Allows
- other MagicMOD and MOD players to use
- the audio channels.
- Pause [] Stops a MOD at its current position.
- Play -> Begins playing a MOD or continues play
- of a MOD from its current position.
- Rewind << Moves play position back one pattern.
- Fast Forward >> Moves play position forward one
- pattern.
-
- Close the window to exit.
-
- When run as a Workbench tool, MagicMOD will play one
- selected project icon. This can be done by clicking the
- MagicMOD icon, holding shift, and double-clicking on a
- MOD's project icon. You can also set the default tool of
- the MOD's project icon to MagicMOD's pathname, then
- double-clicking on the icon. If you double-click only on
- the MagicMOD icon, an ASL file requester will appear,
- prompting you for a MOD's pathname.
-
- Tooltypes read when run as a Workbench tool:
-
- FULLPLAY - Play once, no loop, fewer control
- buttons.
- SCREEN=<name> - Open on public screen <name>.
- MINIMIZE - Open as titlebar window.
- MODPATH=<path> - Default MOD path (for ASL req.)
- JUKEBOX - Play random MODs from the MOD path.
- Overrides MOD selection.
-
- To run MagicMOD from the Shell, type:
-
- MagicMOD [<MOD File>] [FULLPLAY] [SCREEN PubScreenName]
- [MINIMIZE] [MODPATH <MOD Path>] [JUKEBOX] [?]
-
- <MOD File> - If specified, MagicMOD will play the
- MOD. If not specified, an ASL file
- requester will prompt you for a MOD's
- pathname, using the optional MODPATH
- parameter as the default path.
-
- FULLPLAY - If specified, the MOD will be played
- through once and will not loop. Also,
- the MagicMOD window will open with no
- load gadget. This option is useful if
- you have a directory with several MODs,
- for which you may type:
-
- execute spat MagicMOD <MOD File Pattern> FULLPLAY
-
- and have each MOD that matches the
- pattern played.
-
- SCREEN - If used, the MagicMOD window will open
- on the public screen given.
-
- MINIMIZE - If used, the window opened will be the
- size of its title bar.
-
- MODPATH - Use this to specify a MOD path when no
- MOD is given or the MOD given cannot
- load. (for ASL req.)
-
- JUKEBOX - Plays MODs from the MOD path at random.
- The disk icon then selects new MODs at
- random. Overrides MOD selection.
-
- ? - Displays the command template for
- MagicMOD.
