Strategy game: News from "Schlachtfeld"
There are some news of the strategy game called "Schlachtfeld":
Dennis "Psyria" Lohr has agreed to make available his Schlachtfeld title theme for
Phase II as well and to write some other tracks for the game if it is necessary.
Besides this somebody has been found who creates a new background graphic for
Schlachtfeld Phase II. You can find a preview under the title link. If you have
suggestions for other background graphics please contact Horst Diebel via e-mail.
Those models which were designed by Edgar Leidig will probably not be used in
Phase II. But the basic structures are kept and will be still improved so the
units may be used in a Phase III.
During the next days there will be updates on the Schlachtfeld website.

Software News Summary: WookieChat, SystemPatch, Urltext.mcc (Update)
WookieChat 1.5
The IRC-Client WookieChat 1.5 is now available for Amiga 68k and AmigaOS4 (screenshot). The current version mainly cleaned up bugs.
SystemPatch 2.93
SystemPatch changes various OS routines in order to improve the performance of systems with newer 68k processors. Most of these were implemented for 060 systems, but it's useable on all Amigas with at least a 68020.
Urltext.mcc 19.7
Alfonso Ranieri has released an update of the MUI class Urltext.mcc bringing it to version 19.7. This serves to illuminate the dsiplay of URLs.
Download:
WookieChat1.5.lha (408 KB)
SystemPatch2.lha (40 KB)
MCC_Urltext.lha (34 KB)
Update: (11:42, 02.03.05, snx)
In the meantime WookieChat has appeared at version 1.5.1. With this release, only the separate timer task has been removed, because this consumed 99 % of the processor time under MorphOS. In lieu thereof, timer.device is now used.
