Cloanto released Amiga Forever 6.0
April 15, 2004 - Cloanto released today version 6.0 of
Amiga Forever, the
Classic Amiga emulation, OS, connectivity and support suite officially licensed
by the Amiga companies.
Amiga Forever is available in a downloadable
Online Edition and in a
CD
Edition which includes premium content of historical interest (all
Amiga OS
versions, gallery,
videos,
games) and
KX Light. All versions of Amiga Forever
include Amiga OS 1.3 and 3.X files and make it possible to run Classic Amiga
software (including hundreds of
legally downloadable games) on any PC, with
special support for the Windows platform, but also compatible with
Mac OS X and
GNU/Linux systems.
Amiga Forever 6.0 is a completely restructured package which took more than two years to complete. New features include:
- Preinstalled Amiga applications more than doubled (both in the 3.X and in
the 1.3 environments)
- Support for hard disks larger than 4 GB, mouse wheel, AHI, MUI, etc.
- Built-in web browser, great for both "safe surfing" and for cross-browser
web design testing (e.g. to see how your sites look without Java, Flash or
ActiveX)
- CDs are now automounted in real time (includes CacheCDFS file system)
- Built-in CD audio player and media player
- New Amiga ROM and OS files (as in Amiga OS "3.5" and "3.9", but also
historical items such as the Amiga 1000 boot ROM)
- New reference configurations (for A500, A1200, CDTV, CD32, etc.)
- More than 10 "First Demos" (Boing, Robo-City, Juggler, etc.) added to 1.3
environment
- More realistic emulation (e.g. floppy disk drive sound, which makes an
unexpected big difference in perception, but also required the addition of a
good old "noclick" utility ;-)
- New documentation (HTML shared by both Amiga and host OS)
- Amiga Explorer 6.0 software
- New launcher panel with one-click controls
- New Software Manager for easy emulation news and updates
The CD Edition of Amiga Forever additionally includes the following new
features:
- Boot from CD option (featuring the
KX Light GNU/Linux distribution)
- New Gallery section (includes 1985 Byte Magazine reprint)
- New high quality videos (includes Launch of Amiga New York event)
- New preinstalled games (Mindwalker, Ports of Call, Deluxe Galaga, etc.)
(Please refer to the Amiga Forever web site for important additional
information and screenshots.)
Classic Amiga software compatibility is achieved by means of an Amiga
hardware emulation layer (configurable to emulate different Amiga models and
custom chip sets) and different versions of the original Amiga OS (not an
emulation). The Amiga environment in turn relies on host operating system
functionality to transparently enable modern features such as up-to-date
hardware drivers, virtual memory, WiFi networking, DirectX technology, advanced
power management, Serial ATA storage, etc.
Amiga Forever 6.0 is scheduled to be featured on 3sat TV's "neues" show, on
April 17, at 18:30 (via Astra satellite), and at the Amiga Party in Maarssen,
the Netherlands, also on April 17.
As always, the Amiga Forever Team at Cloanto would like to thank the Amiga
Community for its support over these almost 20 years, which made this new version
possible. (cg)

MUI: Preview of the Upcoming PNG Button Class
MaxWorld has prepared a preview (107 KB) of its PNG button class for MUI. The idea came from PNG icons. This class should make possible the use of 24 bit PNG pictures with Alpha transparencies under MUI.
The purpose of this preview of the work-in-progress MUI class is, firstly, to get feedback regarding results with various configuration of Amigas. Following that there should then be a free external MUI class. (snx) (Translation: dm)

Hollywood Designer 1.0 released
After a long development time, Hollywood Designer 1.0 is now available and can be ordered on
the Airsoft Softwair homepage. Hollywood Designer is a high-end
presentation software that creates together with Hollywood 1.9 the ultimate Multimedia suite for
your Amiga or Pegasos.
About Hollywood Designer:
Hollywood Designer is a state-of-the-art WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)
editor for presentations. You can create amazing presentations with just a few
clicks and they will be shown with Hollywood then. You can also save your
presentations as stand-alone executables for AmigaOS, WarpOS and MorphOS.
Additionally, your presentations can be saved as Hollywood scripts. Pages can
be exported as single pictures too so that you can e.g. embed them in a HTML page.
The program makes project management very easy by organizing all your project files
in one directory which you can administrate with the inbuilt data manager.
If you create a new project with Hollywood Designer, it will create a whole
environment for your work complete with icons, drawers and info files. It just
can't get any easier!
Hollywood Designer has everything you would expect from a modern multimedia
application: Many colorful icons, images and toolbars, extensive online help
system, undo/redo, context menus, recent menu, clipboard usage, keyboard control
and a completely localized interface. It uses a page-pased presentation concept,
which means that your project consists of as many pages as you want and each page
consists of as many objects as you want. Objects are for example texts, animations,
brushes and graphics forms. It has a powerful layout window where you can easily drag
all objects around with the mouse, change the look of your pages and modify the
objects attributes. Everything is implemented in a WYSIWYG way.
The program supports bitmap, color, intelli and truetype fonts for your
texts. You can edit your text objects by using the powerful integrated text
editor or you can import texts from external files into Hollywood Designer.
Clipboard text import and export is also supported of course. There are many
text formatting possibilities like bold, italic, underlined, shadow and outline
text which can be used. Of course the shadow and outline style can be configured
to fit your needs. You can also specify the text alignment (left, right or centered).
You can use brushes and animations to create absolutely unique presentations.
24-bit transparency is supported for both types. You can also scale brushes to
your desired size. Hollywood Designer can insert simple graphics forms into your
presentations like rectangles, ellipses and lines. You can configure the shadow
and border settings of these objects as well as some other attributes like round
edges for rectangles and line thickness. You can choose colors from a pre-defined
palette of popular colors or you can mix your own colors in the powerful color
manager. Hollywood Designer is a complete 24-bit application that can display
every single color of the 16.7 million possible colors.
Every object and every page can be displayed with a transition effect. You
can choose from a massive palette of over 150 different transition effects
which are partly very impressive. You can use cool fly-on effects for your
objects like sine wave fly-on, curved fly-on or bounce fly-on. You can also
remove your objects from the display with transition effects! Objects and pages
can be used to assure the correct timing of your presentation which is precise
in milliseconds.
Hollywood Designer can play sound samples and Protracker modules when a page
or an object is displayed. You can modify the pitch value, volume, panning and
loop settings of sound samples. Samples are loaded through datatypes so that
you can use almost every format you want, 8 or 16-bit, mono or stereo. Hollywood
Designer supports them all. Additionally full channel mixing is supported which
means that you can play as many sound samples as you want at the same time. And
also Protracker modules can be played at the same time as sound samples. Audio
support is implemented fully retargetable through AHI.
You can also use the program to create interactive presentations, e.g. you
can add menus to your presentation that query user input and react on it.
This allows you to create even complete multimedia applications like front-ends
or disk magazines. Every object can be used as a button that monitors several
events like mouse over, left mouse or right mouse click. If an event occurs,
you can define many actions to take, e.g. show/hide other objects, play sounds,
start programs, switch page, quit presentation and more.
Advanced users who are familiar with the Hollywood script language can also
embed their own Hollywood code in the presentation. Every object and every
page has the option to execute custom Hollywood code to make the presentation
even more unique. Hollywood code can be easily edited within Hollywood Designer
and there are such helpful tools like syntax checking, online reference and
import/export of code.
Your presentation can be displayed in a window on Workbench/Ambient or on a full
screen for a very noble look of your work! You can configure every detail of the
background frame of your presentation. You can use a background pattern, background
color, gradient, an image or even everything together! Presentations can be configured
to loop after they have reached the end and they can also be started in mute mode
without sound output. Hollywood Designer is just the ideal tool for all your
presentation needs on your Amiga or Pegasos.
Hollywood Designer is a modern application that requires a modern system to
work best. A graphics board is strongly recommended as well as much memory. You
should have at least 32 megabytes of free memory. For users with little memory, there
is a low-end setting which will use less resources than the normal version does.
Additionally you will require Hollywood 1.9. Hollywood Designer comes on a CD-ROM
together with example presentations and an extensive documentation which explains
every part of the program. The program is really easy to use. Most things are
self-explaining and for the rest you have the documentation. Everyone can create
stunning presentations now!
The program has direct support for CyberGraphX and Picasso96 as well as for
AHI. There are versions for AmigaOS Classic and for MorphOS (PPC native). The
program was successfully tested on AmigaOS Classic, MorphOS 1.4, WinUAE and
Amithlon. An OS4 version is planned to be available as soon as the operating
system is available. Hollywood Designer is written in a OS friendly way and
should run on every Amiga compatible system. Get creative now with Hollywood Designer!

April 14th: Developer Feedback Day
The MorphZone declared today as the Developer Feedback Day.
Whoever uses a program today might take the time to write a small message to the according author and let him know that the product is used and maybe place some additional remarks. Most times the authors do not receive any feedback by the users - soemtimes not even when they update the program.
Please take the Developer Feedback Day as a raeson for a quick note to the developers, graphic artists or other activists whose work is used day by day - the authors have earned a honour and maybe also the users will benefit from such responses by generating a new motivation for the developers to care for their products.

'The MCP' wrote about it: I hope that we can repeat this once more.
Unfortunately has the community shrinked very much, but we hope that one or the other had a little bit fun in being here. There had been only a little bit (thanks, Thomas) but aside that could the clones and emulators shine with speed and stability.
Maybe a meeting with all German Amiga clubs could be planned?
Start something...
In this sense greetz,

CAPS project: Exhibiting at Classic Gaming Expo UK / Offline game database
The Classic Amiga Preservation Society, who archive old, copy-protected Amiga games including their copy-protection, have converted another 50 games into the CAPS format.
A list of the new games is available from the CAPS homepage. In the meantime 1599 games have been archived.
Furthermore there is now an XML-based offline version of the games database as a ZIP archive (95 KB) available, which does not yet include the latest 50 entries, though. To display it, an XSL-capable browser is required.
At the Classic Gaming Expo UK on July 24th/25th in Croydon, South London, also the CAPS will be an exhibitor. (snx)

Translation Tool: New Version of Amifish
Amifish is a little help program that assists you in translating text through the use of Babelfish.
Because a few routines were changed at Babelfish there is again a new version of Amifish. Besides the program you need: amarquee.library V54, MUI 3.8, betterstring.mcc, nlist.mcc and busy.mcc.

MUIbase v1.8 Released
MUIbase-Version 1.8 is available immediately from http://www.muibase.de and it will also be on Aminet shortly.
New features in MUIbase since version 1.7 are:
- A new option in the "New Field/Field Modify" window allows changes in the field to be ignored so they are no longer counted as a change in the project.
- New option to sort alphabetically by trigger functions.
- New option, to sort tables and fields according to the sequence in the display list.
- The numbering of the commands GETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE and
SETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE have been changed to begin with 1, as opposed to 0. This is more consistent with the numbering of data statements and display lists, in which index 0 relates at the top of the list. Attention: this change functions under circumstantial incompatibilities with existing projects.
- Correction of false index lists in the user handbook.
- A few bug fixes.
