TV card software: AmithlonTV Beta 251
Guido Mersmann has released beta version 251 of the TV-Card driver software AmithlonTV. New in this version:

  • BUGFIX:
    Many small changes. Nothing realy important.

  • FEATURE:
    Well, not realy a feature. There is a new debug setup window for the msp sound chip. You are only able to open it, if your card is using such chip.

    The usage is very simple! Start AmithlonTV and select a TV picture. Make sure that your audio mixer is not muted and the volume is at maximum. Now use the debug menu and open the msp debug window. There are three cycle gadgets. Start with first one. Cycle it. If you hear any sound, than report the gadget status and make a TVCardDump.

Rudolph Riedel (E-Mail)


File manager: DiskMaster beta version 2.5RC9
Rudolph Riedel today published the beta version 2.5RC9 of his file manager. The download is available at the title link. The following details are changed:

  • 2.5RC9 needs new locales as we needed to expand it by one string!
    a) Copy the new DM2.catalog for your language.
    b) Quit your older DM2 version.
    c) Run "avail flush" from a shell to remove DM2.catalog from memory.
    d) Start current DM2 version.
  • The reason for not just making the new catalog a V2 is that all 2.5xxx versions are only steps to 2.5 final.
  • And some translators haven't answered my request to confirm the changes

T.o.T.


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 (ps)

Jim Steichen; Author of AmigaTalk (ANF)


AmigaTalk V2.3 uploaded to Aminet
The latest and greatest version of AmigaTalk (V2.3) has been uploaded to Aminet. The most significant change is the addition of catalogued language support to the main program. Please send me any translations that you develop for inclusion into later versions of the program, thanx, Jim Steichen, author of AmigaTalk.

For version 2.3 the following enhancements/bug fixes were made:
  • Added catalog support for the program (now, send me your translation files!)
  • Added Layers.st to the Intuition/ directory to support using layers.library (why anyone would want to put themselves through the torture of using layers is beyond me).
  • Fixed some bugs in GadTools.st so that the test files now run correctly.
  • Added ARexx.st to the System/ directory.
  • Added MsgPort.st to the System/ directory.
