Frequently Asked Questions - last updated 4th April 2003

 
How do I save where I am in Magnetic?
Peter: You don't! Magnetic features auto-save.
Where are the save files?
Peter: eg: C:\Program Files\Magnetic\klops.dat.
Where can I find Hints for Magnetic?
Peter: One of the more amazing features of Magnetic is that you are given hints as you play and only if you need them. I have also set up a Hints Section in the Players Only Forum (bottom right button).
I find the panning effect too slow on my computer. Can I turn it off?
Peter: Sure! Create C:\Program Files\Magnetic\magnetic.txt with just the word pan_off in it.
I don't want anything stored on my C: drive. Magnetic installed ok to my D: drive but I see from the above that stuff still goes to my C: drive. Can I turn it off?
Peter: Right click on the Magnetic icon on your desktop and edit its properties thus There's a space after the "exe"
I notice there are midi files on the CD - these sound much better than the sound in Magnetic. I have a great midi system!
Peter: To use the midi files, create C:\Program Files\Magnetic\magnetic.txt with just the word midi in it. I found that the midi played too softly on most systems which is why I converted to ogg format.
Is this a Frequently Asked Question?
Peter: Sure!
