Change startup settings? #56

Open argeop opened 5 years ago

argeop commented 5 years ago

I saw mentioned on the Cycling74 forums from a few years ago that it was possible to change startup patch and logo settings in the code on Mobmuplat, any chance this could be a setting integrated into the program (or alternately a tutorial on how to do this written for someone with almost zero programming ability)? I'm working on a project running Mobmuplat on multiple android phones for an installation and want the phones to basically boot right into the patch in case they need to be reset or whatnot.

iOS version has a "load on start" setting in the documents menu, (when enabled, the last loaded patch will be auto loaded on restarting the app) but this feature was never implemented on Android version. (However, you still see the startup splash screen.)

What you saw was probably a description of how to take the mobmuplat code and generate one's own app (which auto-loaded the developer's patch, hid the startup splash screen, and hid the "documents" and other settings views from the user). That requires programming ability (to get the project working on Xcode and/or Android Studio, edit several lines of code in the app, then rebuild and publish to the app store(s) of your choice).

Hm, any chance of an android load on start option in the future? Splash screen bypass isn't that important to me here...

I have managed to hack it together by replacing the Welcome.pd and mmp files and rebuilding the apk but a load on start option would be much simpler! I can imagine doing more installation type stuff with this in the future and being able to start right into a patch is mighty helpful for that.
