`27.Oct.2022`	Feature test in AMOS: Update for mingame None Of Us The group 'ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP', known among other things for the fantasy shooter Project Quest, which is currently in development, had released a minigame called "None Of Us" three weeks ago, which is intended to test how to obscure the player's opponents with light and shadow in AMOS Pro (YouTube video). In an update released two days ago, a slightly different design of the graphics and the map has now been implemented, so that the demo looks more like a cartoon. Likewise, there is now an editor version for testing, which can be used to create your own maps - which the authors explicitly encourage. (dr) [News message: 27.

`27.Oct.2022` Thomas Wenzel (ANF) (ANF)	Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.32 released Thomas Wenzel wrote: After the code has been developed for a long time, I dared to release AmigaAMP 3.32 into the wild. With the 68k version, the use of decoder plugins (so-called "engines") specially adapted to AmigaAMP is possible again. So far, however, there is only one engine for WarpOS. Here is the complete list: Bug fixes: Loading whole directories now automatically expands playlists found in these directories. Fixed wrong behaviour when double clicking on a playlist stream entry while another stream is still in connecting status. Fixed handling older visualisation plugins which use an early version of the API. New Features: Each playlist entry now has its own error status. More detailed documentation about AmigaAMP's settings. 68k: Support for coprocessor plugins a.k.a. "engines". The .engine files go into the Plugins directory and can be enabled in the Decoder tab of AmigaAMP Preferences. 68k: Support for 10-band equalizer settings according to MHI spec v1.2 However, according to initial findings, this new version probably unfortunately triggers a still unknown bug in the ZZ9000AX MHI driver on some systems, so that playback simply never starts but stops at 0 seconds. Prisma Megamix and other MHI drivers do not seem to be affected. (dr) [News message: 27. Oct. 2022, 10:59] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
