In Windowed Mode, you can left click on the title bar and move the Window around. Thanks. It's being added even as we "speak". :TU: |

That's undoubtedly what you meant to type. |
Yeah, that's what you should have understood that you thought I said!

Just a suggestion... but I would make the read me (lets call it a user manual) into a html web page and either embed it into the program or as a separate file but in either case a button on the Marine Aquarium settings page to display it. Perhaps next to the "Visit Website" or the trial equivalent. |

The 10d Installer asks (the normal install dialog) where to "install" MA3, and by default puts the readme.txt, the 2 Uninstaller files, and one or two other non-essential things there. Of course, you can tell the installer to "install the program" wherever you please. |
JohnWho, is there a section in the guide to describe what CTRL-R does?
|
Yes.
So far I've got: MouseExit = FALSE; AlwaysTop = FALSE; TitleBar = TRUE; ShowCrystal = TRUE; Autopan = TRUE; PanSpeed = 0.3; CurrentBGSet = 0; TopColor = default color; BottomColor = default color; BubbleSound =FALSE; Music =TRUE; Volume =1500; MusicVolume =1500; CurrentFishSet = 0; NumFishSets = 1; CycleFishSets = FALSE; Drawbubbles = TRUE; EyePt = 3.6, 1.01, -20.0; CurrentLogo =0; FrameRate = 60 LimitFrameRate = FALSE |

I have no idea what NumFishSets does. Jim? Comments: (1) I don't understand why CycleFishSets should be set to False; (2) Ctrk-R is "Reset all to default settings", and just changing CurrentFishSet and NumFishSets really isn't setting the fish to "default". If it doesn't change the actuall fish selections/settings, then I suggest not messing with it at all. Quote:

Yes, it should probably be something like, "CTRL-R resets most of the options to their default state."

@ AKcrab -
Either you or your grandma are welcome to develop and submit what you feel is appropriate as a "readme". Then I'll sit back and pick it apart and "LOL" at you. All I provided was the list which I believe is complete regarding what is "reset". @Jim - FWIW, this is the entire "CTRL-R" section which follows the descriptions of the Hotkeys where CTRL-R is described "CTRL-R - Restore default settings": • TECH NOTE - Be careful. "CTRL-R" Restores Marine Aquarium to essentially the same as it was the first time you installed it. You will not lose your saved Fish "tanks", Background Color Sets, Music Playlist, or clock/Logo Playlist. The following values are reset to their default settings: MouseExit = FALSE; AlwaysTop = FALSE; TitleBar = TRUE; ShowCrystal = TRUE; Autopan = TRUE; PanSpeed = 0.3; CurrentBGSet = 0; TopColor = default color; BottomColor = default color; BubbleSound =FALSE; Music =TRUE; Volume =1500; MusicVolume =1500; CurrentFishSet = 0; NumFishSets = 1; CycleFishSets = FALSE; Drawbubbles = TRUE; EyePt = 3.6, 1.01, -20.0; CurrentLogo =0; FrameRate = 60 LimitFrameRate = FALSE I believe by mentioning this as a "TECH" note, those people with technically inclined grandmas will appreciate the additional information. It is not my intention to submit the entire Readme file on this board for evaluation. If that is what Jim chooses to do, that's up to him. |
Fair enough - I wasn't intending to look a gift horse in the mouth.
I'm rather sure you can't fix the documentation for every unannounced (and perhaps unintentional) change in behavior. FrameRate = 60 LimitFrameRate = FALSE Both of those are incorrect for the current version (11k). That's all I can say about them. Other items may also be incorrect (or may deliberately change based on comments, or inadvertantly due to code changes). |
John has turned in the readme file, so I'll be going through it and making wahtever minor changes are necessary. It's good to have such a complete document to start with.

That was accurate when I posted it, but since then it changed. Those are some of the things that Jim will need to check. FWIW - I was changing something in the Readme almost every day during the last week or so. |

Now we can't say nobody ever reads the Readme! :lol: As an aside, I know this isn't a pleasant read for Jim. First, there are absolutely no pictures. The character development is very weak, and the narrative is somewhat tedious with often boring repetition. Also, he pretty much knows the plot and the ending won't come as a surprise at all. On the other hand, it does imply it is from Prolific, so he can always say "wasn't me" and blame them. |
Do you think there'll be a sequel? Maybe introduce some new characters, a plot twist, that sort of thing?
|
Yes, definitely!
Working titles: "Three Two" and "Four Oh" :) |
The Readme file, with some editing, has been sent to Prolific. My thanks to John for taking on this tedious task.
|
You are most welcome. Jim.
I'm glad to hear what I provided made it a little easier for you overall. Now, when can we expect MA 4.0? Just kidding. :) |
