HD Install games troubles

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I help everyone except those who do not deserve it, a little humility, gratitude and respect would have been enough, something that you do not know. Changing that message and apologizing would not have cost you anything, ask yourself why here no one helps you and you will have an answer.

you are presumptuous and vain and your ego is immeasurable huge to want to be recognized and remembered. Like a god. i thanked you in various occasion, but you ignore those post.
So goodbye Sir.

If you have not noticed, you have offended the person so you had to apologize and delete that post.

[Seiya]

PS2: Anyway i removed any reference to this unknown "sir" in Database because it is a collection to play games, but from now for me you are an unknonw sir that think to be a god of knowledge.

There is.

[Seiya]

Thank you MAI, it works very great!!
Unfortunately the game quit to workbench as soon i try to leave from "Space port". The game has different scripts. i have to see in the future, but for now i will use adf version

[Seiya]

ok, i think that i finished to install games on harddisk for now and for long time. Now i have enough games to play

[Seiya]

why some games that run from harddisk has font in this way and not centered like from floppy disk?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Seiya I love you and saw your passion, I want to give you a chance to dialogue:

Regarding the fonts, this happens because in the fonts folder of the system there are not those fonts, copy the fonts required by the fonts folder of the floppy in that of the fonts folder of the system.

Seiya ti voglio bene e visto la tua passione, voglio darti un'altra possibilità di dialogo:

Riguardo i font, questo accade perchè nella cartella fonts del sistema non ci sono quei fonts, copia i fonts richiesti dalla cartella fonts del floppy in quella della cartella fonts del sistema.

[Seiya]

this games don't have a "fonts" folder. maybe i understand the problem. There are some number co-ordinates in some file that are prepared for floppy version. Harddisk version need other co-ordinates..
But i hope to wrong, because it will be impossibile to fix manually

[AMIGASYSTEM]

What is the name of the game?

Copy the devs:system-configuration file from the game disk, it will most probably fix this problem.

Yes, this could also be, if you tell us the name of the game you can do some tests!

Yup, that's what I would have done as I've seen similar issues previously

[Seiya]

i maybe understood the problem for this game. i use usally workbench 1.3.2, but this game (maybe others) require Workbench 1.3.3
but i'll try also to copy "system-configuration"

@stingray
thank you. it works! good to know this thing. i think that now i can fix many games that have font not centered

[AMIGASYSTEM]

With OS 1.x you can change the system-configuration as you wish, which includes the saves of the Prefs Program "Pointer" and "Preferences" and others

The saved 1.x system-configuration can also be used on systems based WB 2.x and WB 3.x, even if these systems save the separate settings of "Pointer", "Palette", "Overscan", "Time" and others.

So in your case it was not a problem of different Fonts but only of "Overscan" screen centering

---- Italiano ----

Con OS 1.x si può modificare a tuo piacimento la system-configuration, che include i salvataggi dei programmi di preferenze "Pointer" and "Preferences" e altro.

La system-configuration 1.x salvata potrà essere utilizzata anche sui sistemi basati WB 2.x e WB 3.x, anche se questi sistemi salvano i settaggi separati di "Pointer", "Palette", "Overscan", "Time" e altri.

Quindi nel tuo caso non era un problema di Font diversi ma solo di centratura schermo "Overscan"

It is quite obvious and an easy fix.

This has nothing to do with workbench versions, in the system-coniguration file, among other things, the font settings are stored and if a game relies on 80 characters per line it will look wrong if the settings aren't correct. More info here: http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD.../node0222.html

You're welcome.
