Problems with Particles and Track Text (2.66)

[nort]

Hello,

first, english is not my favourite language - I have Problems to write.

My Problems:

in old G-Force (244) I have a folder named "Particles" and there are files like "Logo.txt" :

-------------------------------------------------
Aspc=1,

Stps=1,


B0="cos(-t) * 0.9",
B1="sin(-t) * 0.8",

C0="0.24 * s",
C1="0.7 * s",
C2="mag(s) * 0.05",
C3="0.5",


X="C1 - C3 + B0 ",
Y="C2 - C3 + B1 ",


ConB=1,
PDur="32",

Vers=100
----------------------------------------------------

The Image "Logo.bmp" is in Folder "Sprites". Because it is a BMP ist starts only when the Logo.txt startet.

Now in G-Force 266 I see no Folder "Particles". I read, I should take my "Logo.txt" into a Folder named P(Non-Auto) !? Where ist this Folder ?



Problem 2:

I cannot deactivate the Track Text when the mp3 changed. I try:

SetPref( PREF_TRACK_TEXT_AUTO, false );
SetPref( PREF_TRACK_TEXT_DURATION, false );

SetPref( PREF_TEXT_FONT, GetSystemFontName() );
SetPref( PREF_TEXT_SIZE, 1 );

Please, where can I deaktivate any Track Text?

No, all those weird folders and files are not part of the 267 install (the 267 installer should have deleted them, but it appears not.

You should delete you GF folder and reinstall G-Force--then you'll see the folders that are supposed to be there. for problem #2, you should edit the prefs file, not edt the boot file--see the docs.

thanks,

Hi Andy,


yes, because you say there is an Pref File I've search and found the Pref File. The Problem was, in older GF it was in the GF Folder (I work with it) and now it is in my Personal Folder and I had not found it. So I work with the Boot File - I tougth that is the new way to edit and personalize GF - mhmm. Now I can do what I want in an easy way Thank you.
