CDXL converter: AGAConv 1.0.1
Markus Schordan's AGAConv is a CDXL video converter. It combines some existing tools to convert videos (MP4, etc.) into the CDXL format that can be played on an AGA Amiga with AGABlaster or other CDXL players. The changes of the version 1.0 released a fortnight ago and the version 1.0.1 added today:
- Fixed invocation of ham_convert for Microsoft Ubuntu App (terminal)
- Increased width and height range and maximum plane size.
- Enabled option 'unspecified' for screen mode.
- Added support for configuration files (default and user configs).
- Eliminated the agaconv script and integrated its functionality into agaconv.
- Added 'auto' modes to several options, simplifying its use.
- Added manual (man page on Linux). Also available on-line as AGAConv Manual
- Created AGAConv PPA package, making it available with an Ubuntu PPA installer

Retro magazine: LOAD 3 (2017, German) also available in printed form
LOAD, a German magazine published by the "Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer e.V." (Association for the Preservation of Classic Computers), was initially only published as a PDF file starting with the 3rd issue published in 2017 for reasons of expense.
In the meantime, however, the third issue (topic among others: "Repairing battery damage on the Amiga 2000") has also been printed and can be purchased from APC&TCP or the Restore Store. There, as well as at poly.play, the issues 5-8 are also still available. (snx)

Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.5 R82 for Windows 10/11
Raster Master (amiga-news.de reported) is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video).
Version 1.5 R82 has now been released, in which it is possible for the first time to switch between the map editor and the sprite editor without having to close the map editor window. If changes were made in the sprite editor and then switched to the map editor, all sprite changes are updated in the map editor view.
In addition, the performance of the map editor has been improved so that the tiles can now be drawn much faster. The new method also allows much larger maps to be created. (dr)

Strategy game: Devlog #1 - Target platforms, supported languages
For the announced strategy game "Virtual Enemies" (amiga-news.de reported), the developers have published first information and a first interim status on the development of the game:
"Basically we are working on a version that should be playable on the Amiga38. This means that the player should be able to create a character and execute a hack. That is the minimum goal that should be achieved by then.
As target platform we aim at an Amiga 500 with 1MB memory. At the same time, the game will be developed absolutely system compliant, which will allow us to access an optional network stack. Yes, you will be able to play the game alone without any restrictions in the story. Nevertheless, we already have some cool multiplayer features on the list. More information will follow in the coming weeks once we have completed initial testing.
We are aware that not everyone understands English or that for quite a few the English vocabulary is limited. That's not a shame, Frank's English vocabulary is not the best either. Especially in terms of understanding the story present in the game, this can be problematic. At this point we can give the all-clear:
The game will support English and German at release. New languages will be included by adding translated language text files. We, that is LogicalByte, do NOT have to change anything in the game files themselves. It's up to the community to do this on their own to support people who don't know English and German very well. We are currently doing final tests and will publish a guide (and suitable tools) in due time.
We know from inquiries that you are greedy for new image material. We would like to fulfill this wish and will publish new pictures time to time in the coming weeks. Please understand that we need longer for some things. :)" (dr)

AMOS: Eclips animation in "Projects in the attic" added
At the end of November, the game developer group "Electric Black Sheep" had published a collection of games under the name "Projects in the attic", which were created for test purposes with the programming language AMOS (amiga-news.de reported). Included was the game "Eclips", in which you steer an owl through a landscape that is always the same. The group added the archive "EclipsAnim.rar" to this game, which now offers a complete animation in the sense of changing landscapes. Impressive! (dr)

SMB2 handler smb2fs V53.6 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS
The Server Message Block (SMB) is a network protocol for file, print and other server services in computer networks and allows access to files and directories located on another computer (Wikipedia entry). Fredrik Wikstrom's SMB2 handler is based on libsmb2 and allows remote access to files via the SMB2/3 protocols (amiga-news.de reported). Changes of version 53.6:
- read_startup_args() now uses AllocDosObject() to create the RDArgs for
ReadArgs() instead of allocating it locally on the stack. Strangely this bug
didn't seem to cause any problems on AmigaOS 4 but on AmigaOS 3 it caused an
AN_BadFreeAddr (#0100000F) alert on filesystem exit (ACTION_DIE).
Requirements: newlib.library V53.40 or later (or V53.30 as included in AmigaOS 4.1 FE) and the filesysbox.library V54.4 or later for AmigaOS 4, filesysbox.library 54.3 or later for AROS and AmigaOS 3 and optional the requester.class (ClassAct/ReAction, for password requester) for AmigaOS 3.

Audio: Prelude Software Bundle 4.0
Thomas Wenzel writes: "This is a fork of the last release by me before Oliver Gantert took over to improve and refactor it and to include support for his new Prelude ZII+ soundcard.
I have tried to fix all the bugs which Oliver also fixed in his branch. Along the way I took the opportunity to implement a watchdog which can resume a broken and stalled data transfer on its own. This can happen during some ZZ9000 graphics operations for example. The watchdog can't prevent the sound from being interrupted for a short time but after that it will resume automatically instead of just hang.
I have set the version number back to 4 to reflect the AHI v4 support and to clearly separate it from Oliver's branch.
So if you experience unexpected hangups during playback, or if you are just adventurous, this is the version to try. :)
If you are using an Amiblaster Deluxe soundcard, this version is also the one to choose."

Graphic adventure about computer game magazine "ASM" announced (German)
A text-graphic adventure for the Commodore Amiga will soon be released about the German computer games magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt" (1986 - 1995). The player slips into the role of editor-in-chief Manfred Kleimann and experiences the everyday madness in the editorial office.
The game was essentially created in the 90s and has now been reworked and finished in cooperation with some former ASM colleagues. Details such as screenshots are being withheld by the distributor, APC&TCP, for the time being, the official presentation is planned for an upcoming ASM special.
Therefore one can only register for a newsletter at the title link so far. However, Michael Kafke had already shown the game at ARC 2023 in Duisburg, so it can already be seen on some videos recorded by visitors. It will also be demonstrated at Amiga38 in October. (snx)
