AmigaDE: memory_profiler_0colon2
On 5. September 2001 Fleecy Moss released an update for the memory profiler for the AmigaDE SDK.

In this version the macros were moved to '/ami/sys/inc/', since the '/ami' directory was supposed to contain anything regarding Amiga, including programs and files coming from Amiga, third-party developers, and users. '/ami/sys/' will be the basic directory for any Amiga in-house development.

Tao extended the ami_get_tmem macro with the possibility to determine the array.

AmigaDE: shapes - Sprites with C++
On 7. September 2001 David White released the sprite example 'shapes' for the AmigaDE SDK, which was written in C++.

This example opens a window with 50 sprites using the three pix-maps - one for the sprite, one for the background, and one for a copy of the background in order to restore the overwritten area.

Tales of Tamar: LARP meeting, Amiga and Atari update
From 21. to 23. September 2001 the first medieval 'Tales of Tamar' meeting will take place near Kassel, Germany.

On that weekend a LARP-Con (a mixture of adventure, entertainment, fun, and suspense) will take place in a comfortable and romantic ambient. LARP means LiveAdventureRolePlaying and gives the Tales of Tamar players the chance to put their game character from the game into reality. Everything will be of medieval style. The players will have to wear proper clothing, they will talk medieval, there will be fights between the Draks and some players and in the evening they will discuss the current political situation on Tamar and drink Met (medieval honey wine).

Among others a medieval band will be there and even the radio station EinsLive ! This radio station has several millions listeners each day and they want to do an one-hour broadcast about the Con and Tales of Tamar.

Since the Amiga show planned for that date was canceled especially Amiga users are heartily invited to attend that meeting. Detailed information about the LARP-Con are to find here.

A new race was put to the world of Tamar in the AMIGA version V0.37 - the Orks.

So the ancient war between Orks and humans is blazing again. The Orks are a non-human race and controlled by the ToT-server, only. Usually they come from the mountains and try to create their own realms. They strictly start to fight against human players and will leave nothing undone to displace the humans from Tamar, again.

Now it's the players' turn. They might have to put aside their quarrels in order to be able to have the armies available required to fight the Orks.

Time will show if they will succeed.

The following was entirely ported from the Amiga version to the ATARI version V0.24:

the town, the tavern, the online chat, the mail editor, rune stone, the rain, the green triangles (vacation mode).

This makes the Atari version becoming more and more interesting. Also for that section still testers are wanted. The Tales of Tamar team welcomes Atari users. (sd) (Translation: mj)

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena - special price offer
In cooperation with Ronny Schütz the Amiga Arena makes a special price for XTrace possible. XTrace is an image processing program which allows to trace pictures in bitmap format and save them in a vector format.

This is very useful for the use of pictures in DTP programs. Some basic knowledge on desktop publishing, especially technical terms, are required to make full use of the possibilities of XTrace.

The pictures can be processed before and after tracing in a variety of ways to achieve as good results as possible. Some features of XTrace:
  • change of color
  • digital filter sequences
  • support of color curves
  • internal list of about 400 colors with own names
  • histogram view, stretching and equalization
  • conversion between different color types
  • powerful palette editor
  • aspect / DPI change
  • rotation (three-dimensional)
  • full transparency support
  • full clipboard and XPK support
  • CyberGraphX/Picasso96 support
  • fullscreen and font sensitive user interface
You'll find more information at the XTrace-Website.

With this special price offer you have the chance to show the developer Ronny Schütz that there's still interest in XTrace. He'd be happy about feedback and suggestions.

Tool: PlayMOD v1.8 released
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
PlayMOD was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. PlayMOD plays, as the name says, Protracker and Noisetracker modules however with a slight difference from all the other players: PlayMOD is primarily meant for playing MODs by double-clicking the icon of the file. So it's useful for CD-ROMs with a lot of MODs with icons which have PlayMOD as the default tool. PlayMOD was also used on the "The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition" CD-ROM.

Additionally it plays IFF-8SVX files of any size. PlayMOD is a small, system-friendly program and runs either with or without a GUI (user-configurable!). PlayMOD is Freeware and can be downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link).

AROS


AROS news
AROS is an open source project to implement a portable version of AmigaOS V3.1. Read here how the project advances:

Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla has updated the credits. Still not everyone is mentioned but it's better than before :-) He also fixed the URLs which were broken by the new web site scripts.

Georg Steger fixed the strange keyboard problems (holding the right Win key down for a while would suddenly print /'s on the screen). He also added some printer- and datatype-specific header files. They are needed in the DataTypes.class. And he fixed a bug in the EOF handling of the console.handler.

Fabio Alemagna improved flushing of Output() and Error(). The shell will now print the boot and other messages only when needed. PIPEFS: supports AbortIO() now. He also added <Ctrl-C>-Handling to a lot of DOS functions so that they will abort a pending IO if the task receives a signal while waiting for the IO to complete.

Stefan Berger fixed two bugs in layers and intuition. Child windows can now be moved with opaque running. He also implemented a helper function which checks if a layer is the frontmost among the layers that have the same relationship to the root layer and another one which checks if a layer is hidden by any other visible (or invisible) sibling with the same priority. And he fixed typos in rand48-functions in c.lib. (ps) (Translation: rh)

I'm in the process of building a new Amiga link page, but sadly I'm currently lacking time and money to search for Amiga pages in a search engine. That's why I ask you, dear Amiga community, to get a link collection as large as possible.

If you know a couple of good pages or your bookmarks spill over, simply send me your personal link collection by e-mail I will systematically categorize them. You'll find a small preview at the title link, but the page is still under construction! (ps) (Translation: rh)
