Making Slideshows ?
« on: November 25, 2005, 11:41:03 AM »
Well it's not quite OS Development, but I'm kind stuck! I was wanting to make some image-slideshows with music.  I have a collection of these on floppy already (made by other people) and i thought I'd have a look at how they where made and they use the showgif command with the startup sequence. so I copyed the floppy disk to my HDD and deleted the pictures and put my own ones and then edit the disks startup sequence with my images and put it back to floppy disk. but for some reason my floppy disks wont boot all I have changed, was the images and images names in the disks startup sequence.  So i admit defeat and am now asking for some sort of help on making slideshows so if you guys know of a guide/tutorial or even a book to buy or just want to tell me how to do this. I would be grateful, I know there's software out there to make these for you e.g demo maker and demomania but I was wanting to do my own, but who-ever helps me out, I will give you credit on anything I put out in the public

Did you install a bootblock on it ?


Short answer No! Maybe you can point me in the direction of how to make bootblocks.  I've search aminet http://www.aminet.net/search.php?query=+bootblock+ to see what I need to create one.  this is all new to me I just dont have a clue!

EDIT:

I've just download everything from that aminet page so I'll go and check them all out and see what I can learn, wish me luck  :lol:

Well i managed to get this to work by using
Code: [Select]
showgif -aga pic1.gif pic2.gif etc etc but is there a command I can use to restart the slideshow rather than having to display a reboot to watch again message?

also is there anyway I can hide the showgif loading screen?
