if anyone else knows of packs where F10 is the quit key of a game, please let me know here, as this is something of a nuisance being next to the chat (F11) button, causing games to be ended early somewhat frustratingly!

Bubble Bobble v0.2 certainly suffers from this atm... any others?

[mihcael]

These....
Alien Breed v0.5 - (1+2+3)
Dalek Attack v0.2
IK+ v0.1
Indy Heat - Super Off Road v0.2 - (1)
JaguarXJ220 v0.1
Lotus Trilogy v0.3 (1+3)
Midnight Resistance v0.1
North & South v0.2
Pang v0.1
Silkworm - SWIV v0.1 - (2)
Supercars 2 v0.1
Worms v0.3 - (1)

(bracket indicates which selection in multi-game packs)

I went throught them all, before i realised i wasn't using BigPack3, so went through them again!!

I dont know if you could change the button for quiting, but if you can then it will take ages to 'fix' all the games

it takes seconds to add the tooltype "quitkey=$69"  to the whdload slave excution! (maybe it doesnt need the "$" i forget, but its exactly the same keyscan code as used by AMOS, 69 is "Esc", so occasionaly something else may need to be used)

it's honestly bloody easy mate.

Mike: thanks for the list. I will hopefully have time to sort it them over the weekend.

ok, you won't mind if i leave all the fixin to u then

Esc may not be the best, some games use esc during gameplay or quitting to the title screen!

I noticed that most of the Whd games use "Print Screen" or "-" (on the numberpad)

and there was me thinking i had covered that by saying "occasionaly something else may need to be used"

i just mean make them all the same if possible, then you dont have to remeber for each pack!

-edit
I reccomend $4A, which is the "-" on the numpad!

make a file called
Whdload.prefs put it in S directory!
add the line
quitkey=$4A


Hungry, I was wondering whether this is a version specific feature?? both the packs i looked at were Whdload v16.2!

Dalek Attack 0.3 and Bubble Bobble Trilogy 0.4  with '-' to quit now in the download section.

edit:

now also XJ220 0.2 and Midnight Resistance 0.2. The latter has had the option of the extra weapon being mapped to button 2 if you use PC Joystick 0 and set the input setting to Config 1 (Amiga Mouse Port) or Config 2 (Amiga Joystick Port) - this is as was already done with Gauntlet 2 and Alien Breed (if anyone noticed)
