PDF viewer: RNOPDF for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS
From his family of RNO-applications (e.g. the FTP(S) client RNOXFER or the DTP application RNOPublisher), the developer 'jPV^RNO' has updated the PDF viewer 'RNOPDF' to version 1.4. Detailed changes:
  • Exported images can be sharpened
  • Improved exporting to custom sizes
  • Added the WINSIZE tooltype/argument
  • Localization support
  • Fixed pathless file arguments
  • Other small fixes
RNOPDF is available for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS as well as for Windows and Mac.

The RNOPDF version for non-RTG Amigas will be not updated since it is a separate branch and still includes the changes.

On our request, the author told that now he is going to update für RNOXfer which basically already is finished. He is about to write a tutorial since many features users demand have been implemeted yet. In any case the ext version of RNOXfer will support SFTP.

The suthor appreciate any kind of feedback and support. (dr)

SDL port for MorphOS: OpenTyrian
Tyrian is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by Eclipse Software and published by Epic MegaGames in 1995. The game was originally released as shareware for PC-compatible DOS, with graphics created on an Amiga 1200 (see Wikipedia entry). 'BeWorld' has released an SDL implementation of the open source port 'OpenTyrian' for MorphOS.

On an AmigaOne X5000/20 the port runs fine. The SDL libraries are required. (dr)

Mod-Player: HippoPlayer 2.47
After 21 years in June the developer Kari-Pekka Koljonen had released the first update of his Amiga-MOD player HippoPlayer as new beta version. Two days ago on GitHub he has released the source code of the new version 2.47 and simultaneosly on Aminet the corresponding executable file. In this version new exotic music formats are supported, favorite modules feature added, enhanced kickstart 1.3 support and some fixes provided. Check out the details below. Detailed changes:

  • New fixes:
    • Fixed two serious crash bugs introduced in v2.46b. When starting to play the next module (especially by double clicking) Hippo could get confused and crash. These problems were very likely to happen especially on OS 3.2.
    • Tooltip fixes for buttons *Del*, *Pr*. Also increase tooltip delay a little bit.
    • Fix the case where HiP is given modules without absolute path via command line or via icon launch (eg. *DefIcons*), and the added files can't be opened. Now works.
    • Another relative vs. absolute path fix. When adding files so that the filerequester path is relative it could be that Hippo was not able to open the added files. That is, a file was added with path "Modules/DrAwesome/mod.bud peculiar" instead of "dh0:Modules/DrAwesome/mod.bud peculiar".
    • The default unzip command in prefs was changed to *c:unzip >nil: -jo "%s"*, this allows opening zipped modules where the module is within a subdirectory. Previously such modules would not be found from the zip file.
    • In Prefs the MPEGA settings were reported to display garbage at times, I wasn't able to reproduce this but some additional checks were added, maybe they will help.

  • New (very old) known bugs:
    • VisualPrefs_ tool can be used to adjust window bottom and top border, and window and screen title bar heights. Hippo can get confused and displays some extra vertical space below the window title bar when these are adjusted.

  • New supported music formats:
    • Medley Sound and Future Player
    • The author of these and the superb Imploder themes Paul van der Valk has recently passed away. His sound was truly unique!
    • Future Player replayer adapted from Wanted Team EaglePlayer sources.
    • Medley Sound replayer ripped from Imploder 4.
    • Ben Daglish: Also adapted from EaglePlayer sources by Wanted Team.
    • DeliTracker Custom:
      • There are hundreds of these modules available, with varying quality. Many modules work fine but some behave badly. They may do illegal memory accesses or crash speactacularly. The same happens also when played with DeliTracker.
      • One version of _Lemmings_ tries to do file accesses to load separate sample files, this is not supporte by Hippo and will probably crash.
      • A few modules do not get recognized as the important bits are not close enough to the start of the file.
      • Minor issue: Some modules display the subsong range in the titlebar so that the first song is #2 instead of #1.
    • Beathoven Synthesizer
    • Game Music Creator (Jumping Jack'Son!)
    • Digital Mugician 1
    • PumaTracker
    • SidMon 2 (SidMon 1 is already supported)
    • Delta Music 1 (Delta Music 2 is already supported)

  • New features:
    • Prefs_ option for toggling button tooltips on and off. By default it is on.
    • Support for _gzipped_ archives. You need to have a working gzip-application in path. (This was once supported but was removed at some point.)
    • Recursive subdirectory scan when adding modules is now supported on kickstart 1.3. Previously only the top level files of the selected directories were added. This has only worked on kickstart 2.0 or newer until now, due to the usage of a kickstart 2.0 DOS-library specific function. This function was reimplemented using available kick 1.3 methods.
    • New ARexx commands *CHOOSEPREV* and *CHOOSENEXT*. These work similarly as when the user presses arrow up and down to choose a module in the list. *GET VERS* command returns the app version. *GET VOLU* returns the current volume setting.
    • Favorite modules! You can now right click on a module to favorite it. Favorite modules are displayed in bold font. To view the favorites, there's a new button on top of the filebox slider gadget to click. It switches between normal listview and favorites view. Favorites are automatically saved after the user has been idle for a while, or when exiting the program, to file "S:HippoFavorites.prg". This is a normal module program file. To enable this feature toggle the _Favorite modules_ switch on the _General_ subpage in prefs. This feature probably doesn't make any sense if you are using floppies.

Atoms: A re-implementation of the Amiga game using web technologies
Already three years ago the programmer Thomas Pike reported on his website about the history and realization of his project: The re-implementation of the PD game 'Atoms' (YouTube video), originally released by Tom Kuhn, which was based on a Atari ST game, using web technologies. Say: The game can be played in the browser.

His re-implementation has some differences from the original: for example, the chain reactions and explosions are immediately visually visible. Likewise, in its implementation you can play against a computer opponent. On the other hand, the "elevator intromusic" present in the original is missing here. After a three-year break, the author has found some time to implement the change suggested by a comment on his game: The creation of an alternative color scheme to allow people with red-green vision problems to enjoy the game. When asked by Amiga-News, the author told us that in principle he also had network support on the agenda, but that this would involve a considerable amount of work, so that a realization was rather unlikely. He does not exclude a realization of the music support, however, he is dependent on an mp3 file due to the limitations of the web technologies. However, he lacks both the original music file and a qualitatively adequate mp3 variant. Reason enough for us to start a short search. We found the required information and finally data in a blog entry of the website Computer Related Nonsense. Just as quickly, the author then added that music component to his implementation today.

Since HTML5 and CSS were used for its implementation, a modern browser is required to play. Consequently, all our tests to get the game running in a browser under AmigaOS 4.1 failed (IBrowse, NetSurf, Odyssey). Only under MorphOS with Wayfarer the game could be started successfully (OWB also failed).

The source code of the project is available on the associated GitHub page. (dr)

Webstore for different Amiga adapters
Andreas Winkler has established a little webstore for different Amiga adapters. He wrote:

"I recently set up a small webshop for my various Amiga products, which can be reached under the domain Taiwanrider.com. This step results from the increasingly complicated business and selling conditions on ebay.com, where my adapters are relatively popular. The webshop allows for a more straightforward and better focused selling environment.

Items for sale include my popular adapters for the Amiga 500's expansion port, flexible CPU relocators, and various floppy drive adapters.

Shipping is possible worldwide. However, there are currently some restrictions due to the international shipping situation. As soon as changes in shipping options are made by Taiwan Post, I will adjust this in the webshop." (dr)

AmigaOS 4: FTP-Server ZitaFTP 1.25
Hans de Ruiter has released version 1.25 of his commercial FTP server 'ZitaFTP' which now also is available for Windows. He wrote:

"Yes, it's been a long time coming, and it's finally here! I first hinted at there being a Windows version of ZitaFTP over a year ago. I'm a little nervous about releasing it (always am with new code), but it's ready to go out into the wild.

The Windows version already has a feature that the Amiga version doesn't: the UI runs in its own window; no external browser needed. This isn't possible on AmigaOS because it doesn't have a webview gadget (at least, not a modern one).

AmigaOS users, you haven't been forgotten. There's a new version out for you too. It has all of the fixes and enhancements made over the last few months (excluding the webview).

The biggest change that you'll notice, is a new "Submit Feedback" button in the lower right corner of the UI. It's also there in the SysTray/docky menu. Simply right-click on the ZitaFTP server icon in the SysTray (or dock, on AmigaOS), and select "Submit Feedback." Please use it if you find a bug, or have a suggestion on how to make ZitaFTP even better."

The new version can be tested 30 days for free. The author also has published a YouTube-Video in which he explains the changes in this version. (dr)

Now a first, very early demo version of the game has been released which is developed with the Scorpion Engine. The following features still are impemented:
  • Basic jeep movement
  • Basic fire
  • Secondary weapons
  • Enemy soldiers
  • Enemy vehicles
  • estructible props (metal gate, roofs..)
  • stage 1 music (wip) by Simone Bernacchia
As the developers wrote, "there are no player collisions (you're basically immortal), no POWs to rescue and no Boss fight yet." (dr)

New print magazine: 'ZZAP! Amiga' (English)
On the associated Patreon page a support campaign is currently running, where you can contribute to the publication of the new quarterly 'ZZAP! Amiga' magazine, which will cover the latest Amiga games and much more.

For a monthly contribution of 2,50 Euro you will get the latest issue in pdf format, for 5,50 or 6,50 Euro (plus 6 Euro shipping) you will get the digital and printed issue. The issues will have 60 pages in A5 size and will be full color. There will be special A5 binders to keep them in, which will be available on the Fusionretrobooks website. Depending on the success of the magazine, it may be published bi-monthly, and next year there could also be an annual issue.

Plans are to launch the first issue of the new magazine in mid-September. Bullfrog-developer Glenn Corpes Glenn (Populous, Magic Carpet and Dungeon Keeper) will talk about his Amiga experiences, Francois Lionet will set up an AMOS programming corner and David Pleasance will have a regular Amiga anecdotes slot.
