The general section describes which internal modules or plugins to load
at startup. Most of them are required for normal operation of OPENCP so you
should not remove any of the contents. All options listed in this section are
loaded every time OPENCP starts!
The default general section
looks like:
[general]
link=dos4gfix mmcmphlp poutput hardware inflate pfilesel \
cpiface fstypes
ultradir=c:\sys\iw\
dos4gfix=off
; datapath=
; tempdir=
- link
- this options describes the modules to load when starting OPENCP.
There is no need to change this option, unless you have coded a basic internal
module.
- ultradir
- If you want to hear MIDI music you need samples for the
general midi instrument set.6.2
This option contains the path to the midi patches. Section 4.7 describes
how to set up OPENCP for midi playback.
- dos4gfix
- DOS4GW is a protected mode extender used by the watcom c++
compiler. However this extender has problems with IRQ greater than 7. If you
use the default dos extender cplaunch you should disable this option.
If you want to use DOS4GW for whatever reason and your soundcard uses an IRQ
greater than 7 you have to enable this.
- datapath
- OPENCP searches for background pictures and animations in its
home directory. If you want to store your artwork at a different place use this
option to set the right directory.
- tempdir
- this directory is used for extracting modules from archives.
If you have set a DOS environment variable called either TEMP or
TMP these will be used.6.3
Footnotes
- ... set.6.2
- a so called midi patch set
- ... used.6.3
- Most programs make use of those
environments, so you should set them at startup in your autoexec.bat
file.
