This software is Freeware.You can do anything with it, exept altering any of the files.It may not be sold. DAS GILT IM BESONDEREN FÜR: FA.MALLANDER!!! PT_Prefs was written with help of the AMIPS-Extension by 'The Software Society' which has stopped the support of the amiga.(No loss for the amiga.) @{"to Main" LINK "main"} @ENDNODE @NODE "info" "Thats it!" This little tool lets you replace the picture,pointer and font of most Protrackers,Soundtrackers,Noisetrackers,Startrekkers with your own ones. It converts the stuff that your trackers uses to standart IFF pictures,which can be edited by your favourite painting program. If the pictures fit your personal taste,you can put them back into the tracker.The next time you start that program,it will (hopefully) use that stuff that has been patched in. @{"Back to main menu " LINK "main"} @{"Quick introduction" LINK "quick"} @ENDNODE @NODE "quick" "Quick course" This is a step-by-step quick course in how to use PT_Prefs. 1.Make a copy of your tracker disk,if you own no Harddisk,or just duplicate your tracker executable.Then set the "Replace old" cyclegadget in the PT_Prefs @{"main window" LINK "wind"} to "Don't!". -OR- Set the "Replace old" cyclegadget ind the PT_Prefs @{"main window" LINK "wind"} to "as .bak".Doing so,the tracker executeable will always be copied to an backup-file before it will be modified that is called like the normal executeable,but with appended letters ".bak". 2.Select the "Settings" button. 3.Fill the integergadgets with @{"offsetcodes" LINK "codes"} that fit to the tracker version you use. (The version has to be EXACTLY the same,our your tracker may crash/act strange after the patch!) 4.Click on the fileselectorbutton (right from the pt path stringgadget) and select the tracker executeable,you want to modify. Or enter the name directly in the stringgadget,cause in most cases the tracker can be found in "st-00:pt4.50" or something. 5.If you want to use these settings permanently click on SAVE. (they will be saved into envarc.) After that click on USE. 6.Click on SCREEN,POINTER and/or FONT in the @{"RIP-section" LINK "wind"} (left!). The screen/pointer/font of your tracker will be ripped out and be converted to a normal IFF picture.After that a filerequester asks you for the filename of the picture(s). 7.Modify the pictures you saved before with your favourite paint program, and save them. 8.Click on SCREEN,POINTER and/or FONT in the @{"PLACE-section" LINK "wind"} (right!). A filereqester will ask you for the picture you've modified. The picture will be reconverted to binary and directly patched into your tracker executable. 9.Start the tracker you've selected. -If you face a guru meditation or you only see weird stuff, you've used the wrong parameters or your tracker is crunched. (At this point,you will damn yourself if you've made no copy!) -If NOT you will face an totally new looking tracker.
