WHDLoad and NewIcons
I seem to have a problem with WHDLoad and NewIcon icons when the NI system is not installed (i.e. when the tooltypes contain the NI informations after the "do not modify these") : I can't add/change the QUITKEY option ; whatever I put, the slave sticks to the default quitkey (F10).
I don't know if this happens too when the NI system is installed (btw, is there an easy way to install NI, without having to chase some ClassAct package which is needed for the install and that is not on aminet ?), or even if it's a WinUAE-related problem. Does it happen to anyone else ? I'm using WHDLoad 16.1 (registered) in WinUAE with OS 3.1. |

If you cant be bothered to install NewIcons Abelthorne, then you can quite easily create some normal icons to reference the slaves instead.
Saying that, am I right in thinking that Whd now has a default prefs file for quit keys and all that? |

Yes, I can create/replace icons by non-NI ones, but I'm too lazy for this
Anyway, not that it does matter a lot, I was only wondering if this is a WHDLoad-bug, WinUAE-bug or an only-for-me-bug ? I don't think there is a preference file where WHDLoad writes default settings. I guess they're included in the program itself (and they cand be changed via tooltypes only for each slave). |

Erm... I have no whdload.prefs in s:, c: (where the program is), prefs/env-archive or prefs/env-archive/sys. Also, I can't find informations about this prefs file (its structure, e.g.) in the whdload doc...
Do you have any other information about it ? |

1. s:WHDLoad.prefs is in the development archive
2. Why not just install newicons? All you have to do is copy a couple of files and run "newicons" - whatever else the installer does is not required. 3. Why exactly do you want to change the quitkey anyway? The only one that annoys me is Dark Angel installs with NumL to quit which you can't press on WinUAE (that I know of anyway!) 4. All quality installs allow you to choose between normal, newicons and OS3.5 colour icons anyway! |

QUITKEY=$5d And all installs will now quit with PrtSc - however for some games this will be annoying as pressing PrtSc to change the external view etc will quit the game. Quote:

Glad to hear PrintScr is the new default for quit key Codetapper - its always been my preferred choice over F10 or NumLock.
How many Dark Angel installs are there btw? Would it be muchos to update them all? |

WHDLoad stuff
F10 is still the default quitkey used by all WHDLoad authors. This is because PrtSc doesn't exist on the A600 so we prefer not to use this. PrtSc is probably the 2nd most common key!
Dark Angel has made 48 installs himself. The majority of them probably use NumL. |

Ah yes...I forgot the A600 lacked that button! (I expect a slap from Akira now )
Guess old F10 isnt so bad after all then! |

Some games like Lotus use F10, but I preffer it because of the aforementioned reason. Glad to see the WHD team doesn't forget about users of this lovely machine
