Atlantis 0.9.9.4 Users Manual

Atlantis User Manual Atlantis User Manual - 1 Basic Guide This guide should outline the major features for Atlantis and get you started as quickly as possi- ble. It will touch upon most features of Atlantis, but mostly only enough to get you started and on your way. 1. Overview [[ Why Atlantis was created. Who it’s for. A description of what a Mu* is. A note on code stan- dards, such as <foo>. and Menu->Menu->Etc. ]] 2. Installing Atlantis Right now, installing Atlantis involves opening the disk image and moving the program from the disk image to anywhere on your hard drive, or running it right from the disk image (not sug- gested). If you are copying Atlantis between machines, be sure to copy the folder from Library/ Application Support/Atlantis with the application, which contains all the world and macro information created in the application. If you’re interested in getting the show on the road, you can skip down to “6. Address Book”. 3. General Preferences The general preferences can be found at Atlantis->Preferences…->General. As of this writing it includes version checking and FugueEdit support. Information about FugueEdit can be found at <<FOO>>, but is not normally necessary to get started. 4. World Defaults The World Defaults are those items used as the template for every world you create in Atlantis and can be found under Atlantis->Preferences…->World Defaults. Sometimes a global (or other setting) might not seem to take effect right away. You will need to close the window, change tabs, or select another item before they take effect. (In computer jar- gon terms, the selected item must lose focus before it’s saved.) 4.1 Formatting The Formatting tab shows the basic text style and colors available. The “Use defaults” check- boxes are unavailable because you’re defining them here. 4.1.1 Font This Lets you choose the default font. I personally suggest only using a fixed-width font, which allows text output to be nice and neat, but you can take your pick. Atlantis User Manual - 2 4.1.2 Color Mapping There are three groups of color in this section. ANSI: The bulk of these options, numbered 00 through 15, are ANSI colors, which are used on some games to highlight or add some color. The first row is how the color would nor- mally be seen, and the second row is the color’s “intense” mode (which might explain why normal white is a little gray). Atlantis uses 00 for the default background and 07 for normal text. You may have to tell the game you’ve connected to that you can accept ANSI colors before you see more than 00 (black) and 07 (white). Console Messages: These are messages sent by Atlantis itself and are preceded with %%. URLs / Links: Atlantis will detect web pages and other links and show them with this color. 4.1.3 Indenting Sometimes a line is too long to fit in the window, in whic…
