CLI HACKS!! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Here we have a few programs you can use to improve the design and layout of your own disks. All you have to do is copy them over to your own disks, run the hacks from your Startup-sequence et voila! Lovely looking disks can be yours for evermore..... Please Note: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ These are CLI utilities, and some can only be run VIA the CLI, the icons are here to enable you to drag the utils you require onto your own disks, NOT for running the tools. Right then, first of all we have 3 CLI-Background Utilities courtesy of REAPER of THE POWERLORDS U.K.: CLI-BACK1 ~~~~~~~~~ This gives you a shaded background to the CLI screen. WILL NOT RUN VIA WORKBENCH! CLI ONLY! CLI Usage: Cli-Back1 [x] Where x is a value between 1 and 7. e.g: CLI-BACK1 1 - Turns the background Blue CLI-BACK1 2 - Turns the background Green CLI-BACK1 3 - Turns the background Red CLI-BACK1 4 - Turns the background Cyan CLI-BACK1 5 - Turns the background Purple CLI-BACK1 6 - Turns the background Yellow CLI-BACK1 7 - Turns the background Grey CLI-BACK2 ~~~~~~~~~ This turns the background BLACK and displays your own 4 word message! WILL NOT RUN VIA WORKBENCH! CLI ONLY! CLI Usage: Cli-Back2 [x] word1 word2 word3 word4 Where x denotes the colour of your text and is a value between 1 and 7. Your message can be 4 words (of UP TO 7 letters each word) which must be in lower case NO UPPER CASE words will be recognised. e.g: CLI-BACK2 1 this is the one *Displays THIS IS THE ONE in Purple over the Black background. CLI-BACK2 2 this is the one *Displays THIS IS THE ONE in Yellow over the Black background. CLI-BACK2 3 this is the one *Displays THIS IS THE ONE in Cyan over the Black background. CLI-BACK2 2 GET YOUR ROCKS OFF *Displays POWER LORDS UK in Yellow!! *Remember use lower case words ONLY! etcetera etcetera, the remaining x values giving: 4 - Blue Text 5 - Green Text 6 - Red Text 7 - Grey Text The Background colour cannot be changed. CLI-BACK3 ~~~~~~~~~ WILL NOT RUN VIA WORKBENCH! CLI ONLY! CLI Usage: Cli-Back3 x Where x is a value betwee 0 and 31. e.g. CLI-BACK3 0 - Gives a multi coloured background. CLI-BACK3 1 - Gives multi coloured Text! CLI-BACK3 3 - Change Cursor Colour. CLI-BACK3 17 - Change Pointer Colour! CLI-BACK3 18 - Change Pointer Colour! CLI-BACk3 19 - Change Pointer Colour! etc... RAINBOW ~~~~~~~ Use to change colour of TEXT on screen! WILL NOT RUN VIA WORKBENCH! CLI ONLY! CLI Usage: RAINBOW x where x = 0 to 3, e.g. RAINBOW 0 - Change text colour RAINBOW 1 - Restore text colour RAINBOW 2 - Change Cursor colour RAINBOW 3 - Restore Cursor colour STARS ~~~~~ Gives you a scrolling starfield in the background, standard CLI work can continue.. WILL work via it's icon... CLI Usage: STARS BLACKOUT ~~~~~~~~ Turns everything BLACK!! Handy if you want to keep a few things hidden, or just for making things look neater! Handy to use BEFORE issuing the Rainbow command for a nice effect! (Multi Coloured text on a black background!) Can be run via the Icon, but as it turns everything black it's not really advisable 'cause you can't carry on using the workbench!! CLI Useage: BLACKOUT RASTERS ~~~~~~~ Turns the screen various shades of blue, colours in your text and sets some bars spinning around!! Nice to put at the beginning of your disks! Press your Left mouse button to continue with the startup-sequence. Will work via workbench but doesn't multi-task, i.e the bars will appear over your Workbench screen but all other activity will stop till you click your left mousebutton. CLI Useage: RASTERS BAR ~~~ Gives a bouncing Purple bar over the screen, use over Black paper - Black Ink for best effects (Say after the Blackout command) Pressing the Left Mouse Button continues the sequence. This one will also run via it's icon, but as with Rasters, will not multi-task and the bar will disappear when you click the left mouse button! CLI Useage: BAR ------------------------------------------------------------ COPYING ~~~~~~~ Copying the commands on to your own disks can be done in a couple of ways: i - Via Workbench. Click on the Utilities icons and drag across onto your own disks. ii - Via CLI. Double click the CLI Icon (Found in `CLI-Hacks` drawer) and type the following: ONE DRIVE OWNERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** Type COPY C/COPY TO RAM: Puts the COPY command in the Ram Disk. ** Type COPY CLI-UTILS/{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO RAM: {NAME_OF_TOOL} can be any of the CLI-TOOLS: CLI-BACK1 CLI-BACK2 CLI-BACK3 RAINBOW BLACKOUT STARS RASTERS BAR e.g to copy Rainbow to Ram you would type: COPY CLI-TOOLS/RAINBOW TO RAM: Repeat the above command until you have copied all the tools you require into the RAM Disk. ** Once copying to RAM has finished, Remove WB Hacks from your drive and Insert your destination disk. ** Type RAM:COPY RAM:{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO DF0: Repeat this line til all the tools you copied have been transfered from RAM: to your own disk. This puts the tool(s) onto your own disk, don't forget to edit the disks startup-sequence to incorporate your new hacks! TWO DRIVE SYSTEMS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** Leave WB Hacks in your internal drive, insert your destination disk into the external drive. ** Type COPY CLI-TOOLS/{NAME_OF_TOOL} TO DF1: Where {NAME_OF_TOOL} is any of the Cli-Tools: CLI-BACK1 CLI-BACK2 CLI-BACK3 RAINBOW BLACKOUT STARS RASTERS BAR Repeat this line 'til you have copied all the tools you require onto your own disk. Hope these instructions are OK!
