Title: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: Amiduffer on January 02, 2007, 05:47:18 PM
Good day all.

I recently installed ReqAttack on my A3000D in order to liven the requesters up a little, since I had a hankering for an ARQ type WB. In order to properly setup the program, it told me to install the custom classes: betterstring.mcc, nlist.mcc and nlisttree.mcc. I found them on aminet, and put them in the proper MUI drawer with the other mcc's, but ReqAttack is still asking for those three files? I then ran MUI itself, and found that since its not registered, parts of it are disabled. Is that what is affecting ReqAttack?

The SASG site hasn't been updated in awhile! Thanks for any help.

The unregistered version of MUI is perfectly functional, just not so configurable. That's all.
 Run SnoopDos to see what is the real problem.

I'm still amazed at how quick you can get answers sometimes on this site. Thanks, I'll download it and give it a whirl.

Is there still anyone at SASG who can take the $$. I got a nice christmas gift from the folks, and are feeling a little generous to programers whose programs I use often, besides upgrading the 3000.  :-)

yes, it is possible to register MUI at http://www.sasg.com/cgi-sasg/order_info?app=MUI

However Stefan has lost his keyfile generator or something so you'll get a keyfile registered on someone else :angry: It is said this is a temporary solution only but it takes somehow long...

If it's a temp situation, does that mean Stefan will Re-issue Personal KeyFiles when he has found his KeyGen?

Er, htf do u loose a KeyGen! :-?

When I registered my MUI a while ago, Stefan told me his Amiga 3000 (which he must use for development, and he must keep his key generator on there) wasn't in a working state, and I was given someone else's key.

I recently emailed him to ask if he'd managed to get it working again yet, but I've had no reply.

Ah well.

Thanks for the info, I was going to ask Stefan about this very thing.
When I registered MUI at the start of last year, he sent me David Gerber's key for temporary use and mentioned his A3000 wasn't working.
I even offered to repair his A3000 for only the cost of freight, but I didn't receive a reply.
That's assuming it wasn't a hard disk failure.  I'm sure someone as clever as Stefan would keep backups?!

If you hear any updates, please let us know.

I ordered my MUI keyfile a few days ago and I just got an email back containing a keyfile. It seems that his A3000 is still down though and that he is still unable to generate personalized keys at this time. He says he'll send out personalized keys as soon as he is able to do so. I think its awsome that its still possible register MUI.

Thanks goes out to Stefan !  :-)

Do you have the betterstring.mcp as well as the .mcc?  They should both be installed in the MUI:libs/mui drawer.

Might not fix your problem, but it's a start.

Cheers

EDIT - nlisttree also has a .mcp file.
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?

When you download Nlist, you have to install all the 6 classes in the archive.

NFloattext.mcc          
NList.mcc                
NListtree.mcc          
NListtree.mcp                
NListview.mcc                    
NListviews.mcp

NList0.98 (http://aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_NList-0.98.lha)

Download my MUI archive (http://amiga.serveftp.net/MiscFiles/FullMUIsetup.lzx), extract it and follow the instructions included.
You just need to copy in your keyfile and the bulk of your MUI problems should go away.

Interesting...is it up to date with all the latest classes?
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?

Yes, though let me know if I've missed any or there are later versions available.

I suspect there might be problems with the current version of TextEditor though.  Been having nasty cut/paste problems with YAM since using the new version 15.19 released in November.
I've already logged the issue with the TextEditor support guys.

Its burned onto the CD and gets installed tonight! >Crosses fingers x<

All hail super hacker Castellen  :bow:  :cheers:

Well, I unpacked Castellens HUGE file, and put all the .mcc .mcp and .mui files in the MUI/LIBS/MUI drawer, but ReqAttack still says that it can't find the file. :-x Is there some toolprefs somewhere that can point ReqAttack to the folder?

Also, Castellen, where do .MBR and .DECODER files go? Where does MUIREXX go? Thanks a ton.

@ Amiduffer

Just to be sure...Did you point your MUI and ReqAttack assigns to the right path?

 :pint:
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: Amiduffer on January 07, 2007, 09:48:36 PM
Holy crap, that was a fast reply!  :lol:

Are you talking about the assigns in the USER-STARTUP? I know that the MUI script is fine, because it is just as Castellen wrote in his DOCS.
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: AmiDude on January 07, 2007, 09:59:40 PM
If the MUI assign in the User-Startup is fine, then it
looks like RegAttack can't find it somehow... :-?
There must be a way to let ReqAttack know where to find
the needed MUI files. Did you check ReqAttack prefs?
 
:pint:

EDIT:

Take a look at the tooltypes in the ReqAttack icon.
Maybe there's a wrong path.

Thats what I want to know!  :lol:

I can't start RAPrefsMUI because it can't find the Mcc's.

When you install it, if you make a wrong choice, would that cause this kind of mess?

edit: just saw your edit.  :-)  I looked at the tooltypes, and there is no path listed. If you have RA installed, what does your tooltype look like.
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: AmiDude on January 07, 2007, 10:27:17 PM
"HOMEDIR=DH0:System/ReqAttack"...
The path to the directory were ReqAttack is installed.
 
:pint:
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: Amiduffer on January 07, 2007, 10:31:30 PM
Hmmm. I'm not at home, so I can't check. The tooltype should be just as it is when installed.

Does RA have to be in SYS: just as MUI is?
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: AmiDude on January 07, 2007, 10:38:01 PM
I have both MUI and ReqAttack installed in the System dir...No problems here. Very strange...:roll:
Remove MUI and RA and try to install them again and then see what happens.

 :pint:  
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: AmiDude on January 07, 2007, 10:49:21 PM
I've take a look in the RA.guide and it seems that
you also need Betterstring.mcc, Toolbar.mcc and Patchcontrol to make RA work properly.
Hope this helps.

 :pint:
Title: Re: Does MUI have to be registered?
Post by: Amiduffer on January 08, 2007, 06:09:06 PM
Ok, I erased both of them, and then reistalled them both, and then put the three .mcc's in the LIBS, and its still saying it can't find betterstring.mcc, even though its right there in the drawer!  :insane:  Boy, this is frustrating.

Now i'm getting this from MUI 3.3 "failed to create aplication (20)" even though its a straight upload from Aminet11.

In the RAPrefsMUI.CD, do you know what all the commands in there are for? Is that something I can modify that would help me out of this horrible situation.

.CD are Catalog Descriptors and are used in conjunction with the language/.catalogs to provide multiple language support for your programs

anything you change in there will just mess up the translations if you use any other than the programs default language
