Hi!


I was attempting to completly remove the startup window as indicated in the manual
Quote:

Suppresses the startup window and the start delay.

and had a few problems.

1) Could you add to the manual the following information ...This will help!
Quote:

In ordre to make a Starter file the following option must be checked in the preferences
In preferences ...Environment ...check ---> Use the current file for test run
and
Make sure that the .wdl is currently the active file in SED before going to File ---> publish.


2) Starting with a previous working startup file,
I commented all lines inside brackets and got ERRNO #288.289
Quote:

If the brackets are empty, no start window will be displayed.


This procedure gave a message and also removed the acknex.wdf file, which gave me
the standard startup...not what I wanted.

3) I tried winstart with -diag and -nwnd
Quote:

WINDOW WINSTART
{
MODE STANDARD; // always required
COMMAND "-nwnd -diag"; // no start window
}


This works but now I can't read the acklog.txt file.
The .txt files takes a long time to show up on the screen and
when I try to open the acklog.txt file the message says ....There is a sharing violation....

4) So I tried
Quote:

WINDOW WINSTART
{
MODE STANDARD; // always required
COMMAND "-nwnd"; // no start window
}


This works but :
a) There is a lag that is the same as the startup window ....so no suppressions of the start delay I guess.
and
b)
I still get the same message for the acklog.txt file. (sharing violation)


So I turned off my computer and found the following line in acklog.txt when I came back.
Quote:

Options salle1.c -nj -nx100 -diag -ta -nwnd


What is -ta

After testing

I have no startup window == ok
I have no suppression of the start delay
I still have the problem reading the acklog.txt file after playing my game.
and
I have no title in the title bar == bad for my game when reduced


Hope this helps!
