Typically, Scala scripts will use path names containing assigns to link to external
files. On Amiga systems, this is not a problem because you can just set up those
assigns and it will work. On non-Amiga systems, however, there is no concept of
assigns. Thus, if a Scala script tries to open files via Amiga assigns (e.g.
SCALA:Scripts/Background.iff), Malibu will open a requester prompting
you to select the path on your hard drive which should correspond
to the Amiga assign so that Malibu can find all files. You can choose
to have these assigns stored permanently or just for the current session.
If you choose to store assigns permanently, they will be saved to malibu.ini.
You can also manually add assigns to malibu.ini using the following
syntax:
Assign 1="SCALA:E:/AmigaApps/Scala" Assign 2="Obligement12:E:/ScalaMags/Obligement12" |
You can add as many assigns as you want but they need to start from 1 and there mustn't be any gaps in the sequence. Each assign specification consists of the assign name ending on a colon followed by the path that should be used for this assign.
