[jackiabu]

HI
 
i just instal scala mm400 on my amiga,the problem is that when i load script from scala and i want to exit (need to press esc or mouse) its stuck!
i have this problem years ago i dont remember what i do to slove this problem,but i do remember that the problem is belong to the CyberGraphX V3 config?!

any ide please:angry:

my system is: a4000t,cyberstrom mk1 060,cybervison 64(not 3d)

1. Are you running scala on your AGA chipset or your gfx card?

2. Never ever use Cybergraphx v3.  It is totally bugridden.

Or if you have to, use at least the latest (r71) version - it's in Aminet.

Good point ChaosLord, In order to get your Scala presentations to work on a graphics card equipped system, you'll need to either A) shut down your graphics card (by disabling the CyberGraphX patch in s:startup-sequence along with any CGX display modes in the monitors folder) and use AGA, or B) buy Hollywood and the Malibu importer for Scala presentations and use that instead.

For option A you'll need a 15 KHz monitor (horizontal sync) or TV to hook up to the AGA outputs of your machine.

For option B you'll need a fair amount of money to upgrade to Hollywood 4.5 + Malibu.  You'll have the advantage of being able to compile your presentations as stand-alone executables for any 24-bit capable Amiga-like system or Windows or Mac if you choose this option.  Links: Hollywood, Malibu, and order form with bundling options listed at the bottom.

hi
 
i use gfx card now and before. as i say before i solve the problem in gfx mode along time ago, but i dont  remember i do! and i wad use scala in gfx mode.

I find it odd that it would work under CGX since I know it uses the AGA Copper coprocessor for some transition effects.  It may be possilble to run some presentations that way though.

SCALA MM400 is an AmigaOS program.  I am afraid it wasn't really designed with CybergraphxOS in mind.

You can guaranteed run SCALA on your hardware if you remove the cgfx driver from DEVS:Monitors/
Just put it somewhere else so you can bring it back later if you want.

That is what I have done a zillion times in order to run normal Amiga AGA software.  It will work.

There may be other ways of making it work but I donno...

HI
 
well  you right, but ten years ago i still have the same system as now,
and i run scala in rtg mode! i know its somthing in the pre install Cybergraphx3. when the instal start its began the dumb question like: 15bit yes/no ,hiresscrs yes/no , etc. but again i downt remember what i do in the pre install:hammer:

[ChaosLord]

Ahhh yes I remember the other trick now!

There is a terrible bug in all versions of Picasso96OS and CybergrafxOS that I have ever tested.  You can't reliably run AmigaOS software that opens an AmigaOS screen while any P96 or CGX screen is already open.

You can change your workbench to an AGA mode then run SCALA and it might work.

Make sure you have no CGX screens open for this trick to work.  No web browser, no text editor, etc.

hi
 
no i'am sorry to tell you that there is the regular way to load scala and play script whit out any bug! but this is not what you and all the guys here tell me. again-its smothing that you shuold do before you insatll the cgx. i mean in when the install begain! :confused:

[ChaosLord]

If you are using the same Amiga that you used last time then wouldn't all the settings already be set correctly?

NO i format the hd.

I was running Scala MM400 under CGX 4 for years-on a cyberstorm 68060 and a cv64 and it worked fine.  SCala just opened a PAL screen and displayed via the Amiga RGB port on the 1084.

may be get CGX v4?
