Ok thanks guys will try the new code tomorrow as its getting late.
Re cd32load, none of these games worked hence why i used whdload, in the future if they work then an update will be done with pad support of course.

Thanks for clearing that up earok!

Like this, then, I guess?

Code:

assign env: ram:
assign t: ram:
doublespeed
setpatch quiet

hip hide sys:music/bb.mod
 
picboot sys:bbtmenu.gif vo on DETACH


loop main_loop
waitjoy >env:choice

if $choice eq red
   hip quit
   stoppicboot
   avail flush >nil: 
   cd games
   C:WHDLoad bubblebobblentsc.slave data=bubblebobblentsc PRELOAD
   skip exiting
   else if  $choice eq blue
             hip quit
             stoppicboot
             avail flush >nil: 
             cd games
             C:WHDLoad rainbowislands.slave data=rainbowislands PRELOAD
             skip exiting
             else if $choice eq yellow
                  hip quit
                  stoppicboot
                  avail flush >nil: 
                  cd games
                  C:WHDLoad parasolstars.slave data=parasolstars PRELOAD
                  skip exiting
                  else skip main_loop back
endif

lab exiting
endcli >NIL:

I don't know what "vo" on that picboot line is, never used picboot, so that would have to be fixed by you Amigajay.

its coming up with 'can't find ram' even though the first part is exactly the same as it was and it worked before, something not right somewhere.

Amiga1992 · 10 February 2016, 19:15

Which command says "can't find ram"? If it's something to do with your first part, I am afraid I cannot do anything, just put exactly the same first part you did before if it was working.
I only changed the IF statements that were all wrong.

By the way is "hip" hippoplayer? That's kind of a big footprint music player, you could use something smaller like http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/EasyMOD

Yeah its because it went from wordpad to notepad, got it working but still didnt work with your code im afraid said something like 'cant find loop main_loop' or something, I'm new to all this, basically cutting and pasting for me so if it doesn't work ill try something else.

Arnie · 10 February 2016, 19:43

Try skip back main_loop

Amiga1992 · 10 February 2016, 19:54

OH MAN I am an idiot. Sorry, I made a big mistake :P
Here's the corrected code:

Code:

assign env: ram:
assign t: ram:
doublespeed
setpatch quiet

hip hide sys:music/bb.mod
 
picboot sys:bbtmenu.gif vo on DETACH


lab main_loop
waitjoy >env:choice

if $choice eq red
   hip quit
   stoppicboot
   avail flush >nil: 
   cd games
   C:WHDLoad bubblebobblentsc.slave data=bubblebobblentsc PRELOAD
   skip exiting
   else if  $choice eq blue
             hip quit
             stoppicboot
             avail flush >nil: 
             cd games
             C:WHDLoad rainbowislands.slave data=rainbowislands PRELOAD
             skip exiting
             else if $choice eq yellow
                  hip quit
                  stoppicboot
                  avail flush >nil: 
                  cd games
                  C:WHDLoad parasolstars.slave data=parasolstars PRELOAD
                  skip exiting
                  else skip main_loop back
endif

lab exiting
endcli >NIL:

I wrote "loop " instead of "lab" :P Sorry! You should be able to catch those errors though, part of the learning.
Also DO NOT use Wordpad. It inserts invisible characters the Amiga won't like. notepad plain text always.

Arnie: "skip back " won't work, the label goes first, according to AmigaDOS reference:

Quote:

SKIP
Skips to a label when executing script files.

Format
SKIP [<label>] [BACK]

SKIP is used in scripts to allow you to skip ahead in the script to a <label> defined by a LAB statement. If no <label> is specified, SKIP jumps to the next LAB statement.

SKIP always searches forward from the current line of the file. However, when the BACK option is used, SKIP starts searching for the label from the beginning of the file. This allows SKIPs to points prior to the SKIP command.

You can only SKIP as far back as the last EXECUTE statement. If there are no EXECUTE statements in a script, you SKIP back to the beginning of the file.

If SKIP does not find the label specified, the command sequence terminates and the message Label <label> not found by Skip is displayed.

Amigajay · 10 February 2016, 20:37

had another go, gets to the menu ok, but none of the buttons do anything now lol sorted it in one way i suppose!

Amiga1992 · 10 February 2016, 20:42

Just to diagnose this, disable the line that opens the pic and see what the SHELL says when you press buttons. You can add an "echo" statement to each IF statement to see if the buttons are being recognized or not, or if the skip back sequence isn't being recognized and it's going straight out to the endcli bit.

EDIT: did a quick test and it works for me, at least RED and BLUE, but anything else I press that isn't those two enters the same option as BLUE for some reason. My IF statements look fine so I have no idea what is going on here. Will debug some more.

Amiga1992 · 10 February 2016, 21:20

OK I am guessing here that I forgot about AmigaDOS and there's actually no way to do "else if" nested statements.
So I changed the scrip to just go through single IF statements like before, and it worked.
Can any AmigaDOS script wizards tell me how to use "else if"? Does it only work for one iteration?

Here's your new code:

Code:

assign env: ram:
assign t: ram:

doublespeed
setpatch quiet

hip hide sys:music/bb.mod
picboot sys:bbtmenu.gif vo on DETACH


lab main_loop
waitjoy >env:choice

if $choice eq red
	hip quit
	stoppicboot
	avail flush >nil: 
	cd games
	C:WHDLoad bubblebobblentsc.slave data=bubblebobblentsc PRELOAD
	skip exiting
endif

if $choice eq yellow
	hip quit
	stoppicboot
	avail flush >nil: 
	cd games
	C:WHDLoad parasolstars.slave data=parasolstars PRELOAD
	skip exiting
endif 

if $choice eq blue
	hip quit
	stoppicboot
	avail flush >nil: 
	cd games
	C:WHDLoad rainbowislands.slave data=rainbowislands PRELOAD
	skip exiting
endif

skip main_loop back         

	
lab exiting

Pressing the red, blue or yellow buttons will go to a game. Pressing ANYTHING else will do nothing (previously it would hang even if you pressed a direction, start button or a fwd/skip button)

Arnie · 10 February 2016, 21:51

I'm not 100% sure here but I think for every 'if' you need an 'endif' even if you use 'else if'.

I only use 'else' like this:

If something
do this
else
do this
endif

You could try:

If something
do this
else if
do this
else if
do this
endif
endif
endif

Amiga1992 · 10 February 2016, 22:06

I tried that. Didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong. It would be good to see a script that has a bunch of elseifs.
In any case I am just being tidy with the code, the proposed solution works and it's not a complete eyesore

And I even thought of a way to optimize it a bit more, but what gives? It's a script file after all.

Arnie · 11 February 2016, 00:08

Yes, I agree. You can spend a lot of time trying to make it neat and tidy, but at the end of the day, it's what works that counts

Amiga1992 · 11 February 2016, 00:13

At least now it's better than it used to be, it all works as intended

Amigajay · 11 February 2016, 19:32

Sorry to be a pain, its still not working my end for some bloody reason, can you upload the startup sequence as a file to the zone for me please, thanks for the help btw

Amiga1992 · 11 February 2016, 19:42

If you're using shitty Wordpad it's probably ruining the file.

No I've been using Notepad, just tried that file without even opening it, comes up with "can't find ram"

Amiga1992 · 11 February 2016, 20:00

I give up, I have no idea what you're doing. The file runs.
What do you mean you tried it "without even opening it"??

Amigajay · 11 February 2016, 20:03

Obviously I'm not doing anything to the file, as in i havent opened and saved it in wordpad to tell you im using it as is and its not working...
Just leave it then, if people press the wrong button ill just duplicate the games for the other buttons to save having nothing nothing load.

Amiga1992 · 11 February 2016, 20:05

Oh you meant you didn't edit it.
I don't know what is going on. I just tried it and it worked.

Just type in exactly what I wrote instead of copypasting. See what happens.
