Some basic questions.... :)

Hi! I'm new to this forum and I only recently bought G-Force Gold, which is completely amazing!

I have a few questions:

1) Is it possible to decrease the wait time between starting a song and the vizualizations beginning for the first time? At the moment there is a 7-13 second wait between playing the song in WMP and the G-Force logo disapearing.

2) Is there any way of turning anti-aliasing on for the fonts used? At the moment they look a little blocky, it sure would be nice for them to fit into the groovy colours better.

3) Is there a way of changing the font for the Artist and Trackname separately? Or how about reading the Year from the MP3 file? It would be fun to mess around with different fonts, sizes and tags!

Thanks a lot! Keep in the excellent work!

Anybody?

There should be some things in the Boot file that should allow you to change the font for displaying title/track names.
I'm not sure there's any way to change the blockiness of the text.

I meant displaying a separate font for Title and a different one for Track. Thanks.

I've just looked at the Boot file and it doesn't seem to be that way. I think you have only one choice of font to work with unfortunately.

Hi there....

1) There's a lot of loading and stuff that happens wheh GF starts up. This will improve int he future but it's honestly not a priority right now--i'd rather focus on making GF the best possible rather than spend time on architecture changes that permit a short init time.

2) The prob w/ AA is that many of the colormaps used cause the greyscale parts of the AA to appear to be non-scaled hues of the "foreground" color (and end up looking worse than non-AA text).

3) In short no. Most players don't support extra track info like that.
