Latest fixes and new features*(back to top)

Version 1.6 -- Released September 2000

Added:

  • capacity for users to reclaim the control-mouseDown interface to display their own contextual menus. You can do this on an object by object basis, or apply it to whole cards, background, windows and projects.To get Tangerine to pass you the mouseDown message while the control key is down, insert this handler in the proper object's script:
    on wantsTGcontrol
    return true
    end wantsTGcontrol
    You can then use Stéphane Leys controlKeyDown() external to make sure the control key is down and pop your own contextual menu.
  • a new command to support the Font menu in the Japanese version of superCard. The Font menu is named differently in the Japanese (FONTO) and US (Font) version of SC. To toggle between the two versions, type 'fixFontMenu' in the message box.
  • the ability to insert front and back scripts from any object in the 'Script' module of the 'Object Lists' palette. Editing front or back script will no longer change the order of the scritps as in the previous versions.
  • First version of the plug-in architecture.
  • double click on any of TG palette's dragBar to collapse the palette.
  • support for aliases in the 'Recent' menu. Thanks to two XFCNs from Mark Lucas' s wetWare collection: alias2Path() and path2Alias(). The 'Recent' menu should now find your files even if you've moved them around.
  • The 'live' feature which makes it possible to isolate the user's project from all superCard generated messages. This creates a work environment similar to superEdit's or the Project Editor's Edit mode where your projects won't respond to events and messages or execute their scripts. See the accompanying 'TG live feature' text file for more info on this feature.

Changed:

  • Menukeys not used by Tangerine are now passed down the inheritance chain. For instance, you can now type command-/ to open from the superTalk reference project.
  • Removed the 'allowMouseMessages' checkBox in the superCard preferences module of the Tangerine manager. Setting this option repeatedly caused type 1 crashes. Use the menu equivalent instead: View->Toggle->allowMouseMessages.

Fixed:

  • a bug in TG's opening sequence when the user project had a dangling delimiter (thanks DJ:).
  • a bug in tracking the arrowKeys when modernLook is true and commandKey is down.
  • reserved word in text tools -> styles palette.
  • bug in the new 'live' feature, beta b1 to b2 . This bug caused occasional 'Where is?' standard file dialogs.
  • SC-Web projects are now recognized when TG is launched from the message box.
  • a bug in the searchScript utility. The bug showed up when using the 'replace' option in SC 3.x (Thanks to Lorenz Tschudi for the fix:-).

Useful Tools

These free utilities are great complements to Tangerine.

This is a new version of the Growth utility by Carl Manaster updated for compatibility with Tangerine. Growth helps you automate the resizing of windows and objects in any project.

This utility is a powerful alternative to superCard's Message Box. Learn more about it here.

These tools by Kenji Kojima hack Tangerine for better compatibility with the Japanese OS and the Japanese version of SuperCard.

A great search and replace utility by Hugh Senior.

Use this fix on the Animation utility that ships with superCard. It fixes a potential bug and makes the utility compatible with both the Project Editor and Tangerine.


    This package includes everything you need to try Tangerine for the first time. Note that you need superCard version 3.6 to run this version. If you're still using SC3.0.x, download Tangerine 1.3 below instead. Note that this version of TG will not work with superCard 3.5. It needs the 3.6 update to function properly. This update to superCard is available free from IncWell if you already own SC3.5.

As I posted long ago (and am just now getting back to playing with after buying a new house and the birth of my son...) I have a couple of 1541c's with I assume the 'knock off' Supercard+'s in them. (They have the ribbon cable.)
I've not been terribly successful at making duplicates of some of my now purchased - harder to copy games. (Even using the 'software settings' provided in the Supercard instructions.
So my questions are:
1)When using Maverick - does this Supercard+ (v6) work as a RAMBoard? I tried using memory settings $6000 and $8000 - but was not able to copy a disk successfully.
Supercard Software Manual
I'm not sure the plus card works as standard RAM upgrade with Maverick- the RAM may be banked under the ROM or vice-versa. I'd have to get back to you on that.
sncboom2k wrote:
2) Is there any way to test my Supercard in Maverick or Supercard software to ensure it's working?

I believe all the Supercard disks (which you can find on the web easily) have a program to test the RAM (look for something on the disk called test or diag).
sncboom2k wrote:
3) Should I in fact open up the drives and drop the speed to the suggested 297.5RPM? (And if so - is there a variable resistor that I need to tweek in order to do this?)

For some titles, such as V-MAX or newer Vorpal titles, this is required to write the long tracks.
sncboom2k wrote:
4) I'm receiving 2 - 1571's next week - thinking I should install the cards in those and try the IHS copier?

Unless you add the SuperCard IHS circuit, it will not work. The IHS in the 1571 drive is different and doesn't work with the SC+ routines (I'm pretty sure). It is supported directly in NIBTOOLS (was MNIB) for writing aligned tracks for those titles that need track sync.
sncboom2k wrote:
6) Is there anywhere to buy or anyone who wants to sell me a parallel cable for one of these drives so I can use MNIB and or 21 Second Backup etc?

Peter Schepers is the only one I know that still actively sells these cables/kits. He sells a solderless solution that is very easy to install for parallel port option.
