Divinorum & Aural Planet CDs close to publication
Former Amiga musician Björn Lynne, better known as Dr. Awesome, has recently
joined the musicians of the group Aural Planet
to record a new joint album with them. Furthermore he is currently working on
new material on his Divinorum label. This is progressive trance, or, broadly
speaking, electronic sounding music pieces. All audio CDs are handled through
his own distribution, Lynnemusic.com,
where also numerous albums of other former Amiga demo sceners can be found.

Demo scene: Scene.org Awards 2002
This name is none other than an international jury who nominate the best demo
scene productions of the year 2002 and later determine the winner. The
nominations are not restricted to a computer platform, country of origin or a
certain party. Thus also demos created on the Amiga, C64, Gameboy Advanced, PS2
etc. can be nominated and awarded.
The sole requirement is that the demo was published in the course of last year.

Scene: Shakwave Web site completely reworked
The personal home page of musician and trader Shakwave, formerly better known as
Chavez, has been completely renewed. A large number of older music modules and
MP3s which he has composed over the years on the Amiga and later the PC are
awaiting the visitor. This is mainly stuff that might become interesting for
techno fans.

announce new modules in the news nearly on a daily basis. As always all music

AmiChess: New version with increased playing strength
Under the title link there is a new version of AmiChess which has been
recompiled with StormC 4. Apart from some minor bug fixes, the WarpOS
version in particular has benefitted from the recompilation.
Calculation speed of the WOS version could nearly be doubled! Thus AmiChess
with the GNUChess engine is a match for "Crafty" (see Aminet), the chess
engine with currently the highest plaing strength!
I wish all chess friends a good time with the new version!

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.

The glossary has been reachable for some time through the upper menu in the last row, in the second spot. The link had to be led through to the guestbook, which is also reachable through the footer.

Filesharing: DirectConnect Client for AmigaOS
Diego 'DCR8520' Casorran has ported DCTC ("DirectConnect Text Client") to the Amiga (see also today's report).
DCTC is a text-based client for the file-sharing network "Direct
Connect". An early beta version of Amiga-DCTC is ready for download.
Diego needs beta testers to support him in debugging the program.
More information about DC (DirectConnect) may be found on the website of the manufacturer publisher's website for the Windows version. Diego shows how one may get the initial results with DCTC. First you need a list of all usable HUBs:
run: hublist >ram:HubList
Each line of the list looks like this:
[DK]Moviezone©|moviezone.dyndns.dk|Min 60 GB. [MZ-Group]|507|||||
Next you pick out a HUB (in the above example "moviezone.dyndns.dk"),
additionally you must select a pseudonym and put in your IP Address (it should work with these minimal entries):
dctc --nick=YOURNICK -a=YourHost/IP --hubip=moviezone.dyndns.dk
If everything works, you'll now be connected to the HUB and the HUB will show a few bits of information (read it!) and now you may begin to send orders to the hub.
HINT: You might be banned for the HUB, when your combination of "Connection" and "Shared Bytes" is not meeting the standard. In such a case you should use the command "/CNX T3" to set the server to a higher connection speed ("Connection") or "/OFFSET 1234567890" to raise the "Shared Bytes" (the amount of the data you are offering).
Please BE SURE to read the supplementary documentation, and let us know your experiences with it.
Direct download: dctc-0.84.1.lha
[HINT: DCTC was unavailable on the master server (title link). The link for the direct download may in that case be accessed via a mirror].

Thomas Richter in c.s.a.p.: Further Developers Needed
Thomas Richter writes in the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmer:
As you may or may not know, my Amiga "died" a few months ago and I decided to shelve all support for my Amiga software, starting with DiskSafe and ending with MuLib Packet. A new Maintainer must also be found, one who is interested in further developing all or part of my software. The terms are that the software must continue to be publicly available on terms simlar to the ones that I've established.
I will NOT agree, to release this stuff under GPL or LGPL.
The skills needed are C (ANSI-C) Programming for one half of the projects and advanced Motorola 68k Assembler for the other.
Additionally needed (naturally) an Amiga and a C-Compiler, possibly SAS/C, because the projects are based on this. And Motorola-Assembler, possibly the DevPac, because I used a lot of notes with the macro-functions. The
PhxAss is not sufficient for most Assembler-based projects.
The "earliest works" (not the MuLib Packet of course) are documented in German (...).
The sources are completely backed up and available and usable, because I was always a bit concerned about backups, and rightly so. Please send inquiries to my normal email address:
thor@math.tu-berlin.de.
So long and see you later!
Cordially,
Thomas

Game: Tales of Tamar - Amiga Public Update V0.48R1
Dear players,
it is our pleasure to announce the third official update to the Amiga
version.
New features in V0.48 R1:
- rebellion of town added
- new town anims
- executables are now crunched (Bitmap-Brothers- or Team17-Style :-))
- improved memory management in SetPeople, BlitFigur and Motion, flickering
- start anim fixed
- Residencedownload now goes offline immediately after downloading the turn
and before decoding it
- ResidenceUpload shows more progress information
Bugfixes in V0.48 R1:
- hardware check bug with MorphOS/Pegasos fixed
- memory for CloseAllPattern is properly freed now
- bugfix with loading/unloading units
- slider in report screen activated
- training of armies with more than one part didn't create a figure. fixed
- towns at the worlds turning point can have ports now
- if the capital was lost and thus the town with ID 0 disappeared, Bardstale
and diplomacy created a new town with Id 0
- SMTP Auth problem with some servers fixed
- If two or more towns were founded at the same time, names could be messed up
A word about rebellions:
Rebellions are a way of stopping players growing uncontrollably. From a
certain size of a realm onwards you need to have town guards or risk that
town
rebelling against you. A rebelling town can no longer be controlled. You
need to send
a big enough army to restore order. Rebelling towns are also easier to
take
over for other players of course.
Soon, there will be another update that will introduce the option of
taking
vassals. This makes it possible to extend your power even further and
ascend
through the ranks towards emperor. Unfortunately, the test phase of this
feature is not completed yet.
The current version should also please users of a Pegasos and MorphOS.
There
had been a problem with registration but this is now fixed.
What else is going on around Tales of Tamar? Quite a lot, actually...
First and foremost, we would like to thank AmigaFuture [a German Amiga
print
magazine] for the new "Messenger from Tamar" feature. It appears in every
issue and reports the current events on Tamar. Georg Breitsprecher sums up
updates, events, tips and tricks and rank lists. We are very pleased about
this
co-operation with this magazine.
We were also reviewed in the current issue of AmigaPlus [another German
magazine]. In the four page long report, we received 6 out of 6 points. A
very
gratifying result. Thanks to Nico Barbat and the team.
We would also like to thank the Amiga community for the award as Game Of
The
Year 2002, which was also hosted by AmigaPlus. Even if the sales don't
show
it yet, the still active Amiga users show us that it is still worthwhile
to
support the market. We know that there are more active users out there and
we
hope to convince some of you to buy this game as well :-)
Meanwhile the PC version is progressing equally well. We recently received
an offer from Vivendi Universal, which is a real honor for us. Vivendi
Universal is a publisher of high-quality games, the whole line of Blizzard
games,
for example.
Last but not least, we would like to point to another event. On February
28th 2003, the third Tales of Tamar con will take place at castle
Hessenstein.
This time, we will take it slow and just celebrate in a dignified way.
Unfortunately, the event is booked out completely already, but we will
report from
it.
Until the next update, we remain,
with best regards and saying "Amiga forever"
Wolfen & the ToT-Team

According to Jens Schönefeld the board was not yet sufficiently and completely tested and therefore it will not
