Wepl · 26 July 2007, 21:34

Hello,

I've uploaded the final whdload beta version 16.8 to the website.
http://whdload.de/whdload/whd168.lha
It contains all changed files since version 16.7. If there are no problems with these it should be shortly released the as final WHDload version 16.8 package.
If possible please test this version and report all problems here, so that the final release can be made as stable as possible.
Please check the History.txt contained for changes made in this release.

Thank you!

thanks Wepl!

Thanks, will check the slaves with the most errors...

Nice update, Wepl. I like the joypad Quitkey feature, works fine here.

girv · 27 July 2007, 02:05

Works fine with Apidya 2.00 alpha

So "Back to the Future" then. I was only joking, girv.

Works fine with Pango RC1.

Just some notes though: When I try to use a hexadecimal value for the quitkey, I get a "bad number" error. I.e. I tried whdload pango.slave quitkey=$100. quitkey=256 worked fine. All from shell of course if that should be important. Also, the info text that appears before the slave is started should be adapted if quitkey is a mousebutton, at the moment it shows "press ' ' to quit", doesn't look too nice.

Other than that it works fine.

Edit: seems it's limitation of Amiga DOS that no hexadecimal values can be used in the commandline. Just tried with one of my tools and it didn't work there either.

I did use _LVOReadArgs and it returns with an error if "$" is used in the commandline.

Edit2: Ok, it's even mentioned in the WHDLoad docs.

killergorilla · 27 July 2007, 11:57

Just out of interest what key is $100??

OddbOd · 27 July 2007, 12:19

It maps to backquote (`) though I don't understand why.

Edit: Now it makes sense, just checked and I had an old version of WHDLoad installed.

killergorilla · 27 July 2007, 12:24

According to the rawkey diagram backquote is $00 not $100..

Hopefully someone will explain all

Someone who understands this type of thing!

@StingRay: isn't $ used to indicate an AmigaDOS script variable ? Or have I been unix-ing too long

Yep, that thought struck me right after I posted.

It is indeed used for variables.

If I'm bored I might code a little routine which filters out the "$" values from the commandline and converts them to decimal.

Rawkey code $100/256 is used for left mouse button in WHDLoad. And this is WHDLoad specific, there's normally no $100 keycode.

killergorilla · 27 July 2007, 13:15

Cool, thanks for clearing it up

I presume the extra information for the new quitkey codes will appear on the whdload docs page when the new WHDLoad is officially released.

Cool, might be handy in joy-only games... or to trick others...

Or you use the rawkey.html file from Wepl's Beta archive.

I figured it would be but I can't download zips at work unfortunately
