newb question

Post by duke_greene »

I'm a g-force gold user who's trying to maximize the accessible flowfields and colormaps. my question: do I need to move the files from the named (rovastar, ted, etc) folders within the flowfield folder to the outer folder itself, or does gforce read through all the subfolders within the flowfield and colormap folders? Also, are there any other excellent flowfield unions floating about anywhere?

Thanks a ton

Yes, GF scans sub folders so they're already "on" by default, so you don't need to moving anything. If you press V, GF will tell you the names of configs it's running as it gets to them.

In addition, if you don't want that pesky console dialog constantly ruining your visual experience (that is...if you feel that to be true), you can toggle V twice (to turn "verbose" mode off, as Andy explained), wait till you find an effect combination that you really want to know the name(s) of and press the L key. That way, you get the title briefly and your viewing pleasure remains unhampered.

I never know about pressing 'V' to do that but now I know the reason why it stops the music in Winamp.

The keys z, x, c, v, b are all used to control winamp.

Edit. I did a few FF unions I might have a look into that again at some point.

RS;

Thanks for your last post. I didn't reckon on the fact that the media player's hotkeys you mentioned hijack GF controls. Since the Z, X, and C keys toggle thru the WaveShape slideshow (at least in my OS X standalone); can I assume that WinAmp shares these hotkeys with the s.a. for GF Windoze?

Nope the waveform keys are

"," "." and "/"

obviosuly this was changed for Winamp especially.

The Help screen also say the keys "," "." and "/" but there is no mention of "v" at all for verbose mode. It is simply not avalaible on the Winamp version.
