BluffTitler

This community is about the BluffTitler app. At any time you can download the latest version here.

How do I play and download a show?

For articles that offer a Download media files button, perform the following steps:

  • Click Download media files
  • Save this .zip file onto your hard disk
  • Unzip the .zip file
  • Find and double click the .bt file
  • The BluffTitler player will now start and run the show

Associate .bt files with BluffTitler

The BluffTitler installer teaches Windows to associate .bt show files with BluffTitler. This makes Windows automatically start BluffTitler when you double click on a .bt show file (or click on a .bt file in a web browser). If this does not work you can teach Windows this association yourself by performing the following steps:

  • Find a .bt show file on your hard disk.
  • Right-click on this .bt file, select Open With, click Choose Default Program and select BluffTitler.exe.

Next to double clicking the .bt file, you can also play the show by dropping the .bt file onto BluffTitler's render window or by using the menu item FILE > Open show...

Storing the media files

You can place the shows anywhere you like, but we advise your to store them in a folder outside the c:\program files folder. For example: d:\BluffTitlerCommunity.

Missing media files

Sometimes artists forget to include textures or other media files resulting in an error message when opening the show. Please do not get mad when this happens. Instead give a good example by including all media files the next time you upload a show.

To prevent copyright issues, fonts are never included.

Use the latest version

If BluffTitler refuses to run the show or does not run as it should, make sure you are using the latest version. At any time you can download the latest version here.
