🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

xpilot-ng-replay [options] filename

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so first thing first: if filename is a dash - then standard input is used. Not a file, not a path, just vibes straight off stdin, no cap.

Valid options are:

🎀 the options 🎀

  • -scale "factor" — sets the scale reduction factor for saving operations. Valid scale factors live in the range [0.01 - 1.0].
  • -gamma "factor" — sets the gamma correction factor when saving scaled frames. Valid gamma correction factors live in the range [0.1 - 10].
  • -compress — saves frames compressed using the compress program.
  • -fps "value", -FPS "value" — sets the number of frames per second used for replay and recording. (Yes both spellings, we love options.)
  • -play — start playing immediately. No waiting, no thoughts, just frames.
  • -loop — loop after playing. It literally never stops, periodt.
  • -debug — this one's just listed, the page gives it no description, iykyk.
  • -verbose — also listed with no description, that's the whole entry bestie.
  • -help — listed, no description given. 🫶
  • -version — listed, no description given either.

🌸 the keys 🌸

In addition to the pushbuttons you can use the following keys:

  • f — move forwards to the next frame.
  • b — move backwards to the next frame.
  • z — move backwards to the first frame.
  • [ — mark the current frame as the first frame to be saved.
  • ] — mark the current frame as the last frame to be saved.
  • * — save the marked frames in PPM format.
⚠️ WARNING: saving many frames takes HUGE amounts of diskspace! like actually HUGE, do not do this casually on a small disk, your storage will simply pass away 😭💀
  • & — save the marked frames in XPilot Recording format.
  • q — quit the program. bye bestie 👑

and that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs ✨

Cute sign-off, since you asked: this page lives at xpilot.sourceforge.net and it's dated August 2006 — a vintage queen, truly before her time 💜🧚
