Frequently Asked Questions and

|
Questions that will be Asked
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
NOTICE! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH CP, PLEASE
|
|
CHECK OUT THE HUGE DOCUMENTATION CP.DOC BEFORE (!!!) SENDING US
|
|
AN EMAIL!!!
|
|
IF YOUR PROBLEM IS DEALT WITH IN THE DOC, WE WILL NOT REPLY
|
|
TO YOUR MAIL!!!
|
|
|
|
?-> this archive of CP lacks the background pictures and anims cp used
|
|
to come along with...?
|
|
!-> that is to make the archive smaller. if you want background pics and
|
|
anims, get hold of an older full version of cp (e.g. 1.4) and just copy
|
|
this one over it.
|
|
|
|
?-> when I run cp, I get a message saying that a file named "dos4gw.exe"
|
|
is missing. What can I do?
|
|
!-> get a hold on it. It comes with earlier versions of cp (e.g. 1.4) and
|
|
many computer games. You probably already have it, just search your
|
|
harddisk.
|
|
|
|
?-> cp crashes... it worked in 0.96, but from 1.0 on cp keeps crashing when
|
|
loading the first or second module...
|
|
!-> yes, it's a bug...
|
|
it is probably due to the vesa-overlay option of your mouse
|
|
driver... disable it if possible.
|
|
also try loding your mouse driver as mouse.com in your autoexec.bat, and
|
|
not as mouse.sys in your config.sys
|
|
|
|
?-> cp sounds awful when i turn on echos or intepolation!
|
|
!-> buy a better computer... no! but this is too much for your cpu... :(
|
|
(at least the way i do it.. :). this often happens when DMA 0-3 is
|
|
selected. if you can change the dma to 5-7, then do so, this really
|
|
helps much! you can also turn down the output rate (-crXXXXX),
|
|
the 32 channel output rate (-cqXXXXX), the stereo output or the 16bit
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
?-> cp runs out of memory although mem tells me I have enough!
|
|
("sound card initialisation failure" can sometimes be the same)
|
|
!-> dos4gw doesn't use xms when ems is also available, change your memory
|
|
configuration to either pure ems or pure xms or auto.
|
|
|
|
?-> how do I run cp under windows (c) 3.1?
|
|
!-> use the cp.pif file, included in the archive. for further info on this,
|
|
please check the documentation cp.doc. if it should not work then either,
|
|
well... we can't help it. :(
|
|
|
|
?-> how do I play a CD-AUDIO track?
|
|
!-> in the fileselector, select the driver letter of the cd drive which holds
|
|
CD. then, select the desired track. for further info, please check out
|
|
cp.doc. while playing press ctrl-return to stop playing and release lock.
|
|
|
|
?-> some modes are not displayed at all on my board!?
|
|
!-> if you do not have an et4000-compatible board, you MUST load a vesa
|
|
driver to enjoy all extended modes.
|
|
|
|
?-> some modes look weired or do not display correctly on my vga-board.
|
|
!-> that is due to the improper implementation of vesa-standards. It is
|
|
not our fault! (yeah!!)
|
|
|
|
?-> My GUS is mute!?
|
|
!-> Start CP with -cg,t as a command line parameter, or change the
|
|
irqs of the gus to below 8
|
|
|
|
?-> How do I play old MODs?
|
|
!-> In the Fileselector, enter "M15" as Filetype in the Module-description
|
|
Window (on the bottom)
