the speed of a key hold down (Octamed)

[lost_lemming]

I looked everywhere on octmed V3, for a button or toggle or something that would just change the speed of a key hold down.

Let me explain, with trackers it's nice to be able to whizz around on the main tracker page, but if you hold up or down keys, it will scroll up/down quite slow. There's no key hold speed on the options of Octamed so I guess it's a workbench systems thing? If so, what do I need to change?

Try Prefs/Input on your SYS: drive.

I got a program error
it says 'requires asl , library v38

ah, it's because I did it while Octamed had booted up from disk. Did it fresh and it worked. Found the speed adjustments! thanks

[lost_lemming]

hmmm, no it's gone back to its old slow settings after booting Octamed 3 from disk. Sods law that I can't load Octamed from HD, it moans about not finding octamed.gfx.

I'll just have to manage with the slow speeds, I can always cheat using the Space:2 toggle.

Then you have to copy your envarc:input.prefs to your floppy disk with same path I guess. I don`t know if input.prefs is loaded autmatically. Maybe IPrefs load it? Someone here sure can tell you.

[lost_lemming]

sorry what is an enverc? is that the System folder?

[johnim]

SYS\Prefs\Env-Archive\input.prefs

And you have to start IPrefs because it loads input.prefs. I guess you have an startup-sequence on your floppy disk. So that is the place for IPrefs to start from.

oK It looks like this is gonna be a long battle.
I had to make space before I created any new drawers the disk was on 100%. I deleted the demo song and got it down to 86%

I 'copied' (well, recreated) the directry on disk by making my own new drawers, so system/prefs/Env-Archive/ and then copied the input.prefs into there.
I still got the 'requires asl , library v3'

so I then copied the big main 'Input' file onto the disk, but I still couldn't load it from the disk or HD. Is this library v3' some sort of file I could download and put it on there?

if it helps, also on this octamed disk is a drawer called 's' and in there are files called CLI-startup, octamed.config, shell-startup & startup-sequence.

You don`t need the Input (prefs programm) on your floppy disk. Just this files (e.g. form my OS3.1 system):

Input.prefs     78 bytes
IPrefs       13848 bytes
asl.library  40944 bytes

Maybe the asl.library is only needed for Input prefs.

Open with a text editor the file S/startup-sequence from your Octamed disk. Then add "IPrefs" (wihtout quotes) somewhere before Octamed is loaded.

Might be easier:
You can also try the old way (OS1.x). There is only one file if I remember right. Start Pefs/Preferences programm (on OS1.x disk or HD installation if you have) and choose your settings. Then press save. The files saved to is called "devs/system-configuration". It has a size of about 232 bytes. So it should fit on your octamed floppy disk. Copy this file on your floppy into the devs folder. On my A500 it has worked.

Btw. On which Amiga (and kickrom version) do you want to start octamed?

I can't thank you enough! this one worked, didn't try the others, I saw 'might be easier' so I went for this first hehheh. anyway, Thanks!
