Amiga Arena: Interview with Sascha Brandt (Ancor)
Happy New Year!
Olaf Köbnik of Amiga Arena wishes healthy and successful year 2003 for all! The "flame" will burn in 2003 also and the (Amiga-Arena) year starts with a little surprise.
Interview with Sascha Brandt (Ancor)
Remembering the demos and announcements of adventure games like
"Shadow on Time", "Gilbert Goodmate", "Middle City" or "The last Seal"?
None of these games has been available in a final version yet (and will mostly never) except the last one!
The sci-fi adventure "The last Seal" by Ancor is still under development and early this year there will be a new demo version released. Since 1997 Ancor are developing "The last Seal", after a first playable demo was published it became quiet around this group.
Read within that interview why this has been so and what the current development stage is.

CdBuilder: A new productivity program launcher for the Amiga
Joseph Duchâtelet writes:
CommandBuilder version 1.03 (CdBuilder.lha) has been uploaded to
Aminet util/wb.
Programmed in Gui4Cli this program allows you to compose CLI, ARexx,
Gui4Cli and WorkBench commandlines very easily, using mostly just
button & mouseclicks.
New commandlines can be saved directly to CommandSelection files.
CommandSelection files organised according to your specific needs
are a fast and effective way to make use of your computer.
Find out what are some of its concepts:
- selection files
- expanding files
- scripting
- and more to come: ask me for my latest HD version

New Hollywood screen shots
As some people did not know that Hollywood is also able to import
the popular Rainboot boot configuration file format, I have put up some
screenshots in the Hollywood section which show Hollywood running
Rainboot configurations. This gives you real Rainboot feeling on your
Workbench. The screenshots show the boot configurations Alien Boot,
AmigaOS 3.5 Boot, CloudBoot, PCommBoot, Pixel Art Boot & Windows
Simulator Boot. Finally, I wish all Amiga users and all my friends a Happy
New Year! (ps)

Tool: ViewISO 1.1
ViewISO is a TrueType font viewer using TTEngine. Now with ARexx port and
commandline interface it can be used as TrueType viewer in filemanagers.
Download it here.
ViewISO is a program designed for viewing ISO-8859 charsets using TrueType
Unicode fonts. It can be useful to check if a TrueType font contains
glyphs for given charset. On the other hand you can see how some exotic
glyph looks like. ViewISO requires MUI and TTEngine installed.
Changes from version 1.0:
- ARexx command 'LoadFont' (script for filemanagers included).
- 'Load' button.
- Accepts font name as a commandline parameter.
- Serious memory leak fixed.

Player: Amiga-Mediaplayer V1 full version
Today Carsten Siegner has finished work on the first version of his player
'Amiga-Mediaplayer' and released this version.
- Multimedia program with transparent GUI (TV, Radio, Mediastreamer)
- Context sensitive (Mediastream, TV, Radio)
- With the help of FroggerNG nearly all formats can be replayed (Mediastream, Video, Audio)
- If you have Amithlon with AmithlonTV installed you can enjoy a transparent TV window. This can then, if the TV card also has a radio tuner, switch to a radio window.
- The TV part gets its TV prefs from TV-Watch.
- The radio part has its own prefs file which can be edited with an editor.
- The radio and TV part have 7 channel buttons each for programs.
This is arranged as in TV-Watch, except no radio settings are taken over from the TV-Watch prefs.
- Furthermore, you can turn on or switch between TV card inputs (VHS1, VHS2, SVHS1), and change audio settings (Stereo, Mono, Channel1, Channel2 and Mute).
- In addition to the seven program buttons, the radio part also has two realtime frequency controllers.
With these you can set the radio tuner frequency.
- The radio part has a frequency display (in MHz) where you can read the tuner's current frequency.
- Changer window for context choice.
- Integrated some shortcuts.
Requirements:
- Amithlon (full functionality)
- Amiga (68k, WOS, PPC, MOS), TV and radio part not activated
- Functioning AmithlonTV 2.07-beta installation (incl. Smear)
- TV card with radio tuner
- Functioning FroggerNG 2.05 installation (with Key)
- Functioning ARexx
- AHI
- For Amithlon: AC97 mixer (or else the Sound card won't be initialised)
Installation:
Just copy (nothing else) the libs appropriate for you system into the "Workbench:Libs" directory. That's it.
The Mediaplayer can then be started directly from the installation directory.
If Fogger is not installed or not installed correctly, an ASL requester appears asking for the Frogger path.
Upon starting the Mediaplayer first searches for system programs like RX etc.
These have to be located in the SYS: directory, otherwise Mediaplayer won't start properly.
After the start of the Mediaplayers the TV window has to be restarted once,
otherwise the audio part of the TV card isn't initialised, and no sound can be heard.
This, however, has to be done only once. On restarts of the Mediaplayer or the TV window the TV card is properly recognised.
Future:
- Audio export of TV and Radio sound into an AIFF file.
Download: Mediaplayer-1.lzx

Alt-WoA 2003: New venue
The organisators of the 'Alt-WoA 2003' have opted for a new venue. Instead of
at the 'Old Corn Mill' in Huddersfield, England, the Alt-WoA will now be held
at the 'Kirkdale Conference Centre'. This is located a mile from the original
venue.
Pictures, a map as well as information about the Centre are
published on the Alt-WoA Web
site.
The reason for the change is the closure of the 'Old Corn Mill' since
mid-November for ca. 22 weeks. And the organisers' insecurity about whether or
not the new owners will offer a suitable space for the event afterwards.
Amiga Inc. and Hyperion have already assured their attendance.
A confirmation from Eyetech is being awaited to then start the preparations.
An exact date has not yet been published on the site.

Game: Payback for GBA - Status Report #3
28th December 2002: James Daniels of Apex Designs
has published the third status report on the GBA port of the game 'Payback'.
The game's frame rate has been increased through optimisations. 15 frames/s were
targetted (matches V-Rally 3's frame rate) and 16 frames/s achieved, whereby
the optimisations for transparency effects haven't yet been added, so an
additional speed increase should be possible.
The other emphasis was on the HUD (Head up display) for showing the
score, the map, the weapons display and the mission briefs.
Instead of using the existing software routines, James Daniels had decided to
use the GBA's hardware sprites.
Though this is quite expensive, it brought with it a performance gain of some
10% compared to the pure software solution.
Additionally bugs have been fixed, so the game is now fully playable in most
levels.
The emphasis for the next months lies on the audio mixer, the sound effects and
the music. Furthermore there might be a chance to start work on the multi
player mode.
The full report is accessible through the title link.
It also contains new screenshots and a short video in MPEG format.

amiga-news.de: Netiquette Revised and Supplemented by FAQ
To clarify the purpose and spirit of amiga-news.de's "netiquette" rules Sven Drieling has completely revised them and expanded on a few
evidentiary points. A new development is the FAQ, which delves into some persistent questions about the proper use of the comment function.
We are asking all of our readers to take a few minutes to read the netiquette document (click on the title link). We are requesting that you
respect our guidelines. Through this we will be able to achieve improved commentary for all concerned. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Nearly half a year has gone since the last big release, now it's time to
give you something to enjoy! ClassAction 4.50, StartMenu 1.30 and
ProcessManager 1.10 have some often asked useful and nice new features - I
don't want to add the whole list, here some details concerning ClassAction:
classes can be displayed as image, own screen possible, improved archive

Look on title link for a complete list of changes and all archives.
And with this little present for the community that still waits for real

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year full of new hardware and software! And
