HELP! BACK FROM RETIREMENT

[brooks2345]

Right, have now got a playable course!!!! Just have to do the els bunkers and planting.

One minor problem - my tees are not conforming to the colours (sorry American colors) that I set them up - only three tees and the back shows as white in the course set-up, yet it appears as yellow when I play it. Any advice?

John,
I believe the solution is to make the 4th and 5th tee colours to the same as the back tee colour.
I think.
Good luck,
Ian

I believe you do that from the "Edit" "Course Properties" buttons. If I'm not mistaken?

OK have now got quite a good playable course - HOWEVER

Am struggling with panos, splash screens and hole previews - this is because I was used to Adobe Photoshop 7 and Power Retouche - now all I've got is the latest version of Photoshop which you have to be Einstein to understand!

Keep taking the medicine!

Cheers

Funny, snipping tool doesn't appear to work either - how do you take screen shots?

[brooks2345]

message for Sage - still missing a proper pano, screen shots. splash screens and funny blends rough/fairway and fairway/green quite playable though - maybe my new laptop and windows 11 are the source of the problems . everything else appears to work ok

I think you mean Jasc Paint Shop Pro which was acquired by Corel at one point.

The versions used in the day, which was likely to include 7,04, are now freely available along with a number of other versions.

You can download the software from:

Do some searches and the manuals are also available.

I have been playing around with textures for JC's Animation Factory and have been using a combination of PSP 7.04, Paint.NET and GIMP 3.06 to see what can do what and what works best.

Hi John,
I just saw your message for me. Just what did you need?

You can always email me.

Looks like quite a few things (like Snipping Tool) don't work with windows 11.

Have started a new course whilst I solve Corfdu problems.

Now can't get my hole layouts right. Every time I go to the Hole Layout tool, I get a funny "No Entry" sign and not my normal cursor. Why is this?

VCheers

If I recall correctly there is a problem if you want to use the snipping tool with processes running with Admin privileges. This is likely to affect those running Links itself, I do not think you run the APCD with admin privs however.

I have used alternative tools on Windows to capture images and I think there may be a special keyboard shortcut as well.
