WinUAE: Kaillera Beta 1 - Gaming via the Net
First off
WinUAE-Kaillera was developed by Sane and Thrill. The original WinUAE was developed by Brian King, based on
the original UAE. Brian King has no part whatsoever in the development of WinUAE-Kaillera, therefore do not send
him any questions about this beta-release, as he can't answer them. Kaillera, the engine on which this product is based,
is developed by Christophe Thibault, who also has nothing to do with the actual development of WinUAE-Kaillera. See
at the end of the document for related websites. Bug-related questions should go to poopy@postmark.net .
Description
WinUAE-Kaillera enables users of this great emulator to play against another person over a TCP/IP network, such as
the internet. For this it uses the Kaillera-Engine,
a program developed specifically for enabling emulators to achieve
netplay. As Kaillera itself already has proven its merits on emulators such as Mame and Bliss, this was the perfect
choice for the development of this program. In this first BETA release there is support for (shared) keyboard and
joystick. Mouse does NOT work yet (we're working hard on that one :). Do not expect this BETA release to work
flawless. This version uses the source code as released on the WinUAE page, v0.8.14. As there are new versions out
already, it could be that this version does not work on your computer. Do not send bug reports/questions about this
please.
Usage
First of all: netplay requires a fast and good internet connection. A typical ping to the other player should not exceed
150 ms, otherwise the game could become difficult to handle. In theory there is no reason you can't run it on a 56K
modem, apart from the fact that modems sometimes prove to be unreliable. Judge for yourself. When you start
WinUAE-Kaillera you will notice a few changes over the original WinUAE. On the 'Configuration'-tab there is an
extra button 'Start Kaillera', furthermore the 'Gameport'-tab has three extra buttons 'Remote 0', 'Remote 1' and
'None' (default).
Before playing, both players should first acquire the exact same configuration-file. Any differences in these can/will
cause the game to 'desync'. Ofcourse the game/kickstart should also be the same.
The 'Remote X' buttons must be configured prior to any netplay. They decide who is using what joyport on the remote
end. If you are using joystick 0 in port 0, and the remote player is using joystick 0 in port 1, you should enable 'remote 1'.
The remote player should do exactly the reverse and enable 'remote 0'. Furthermore make sure your joystick settings
are right. Each player should use joystick 0 on its local port, and have joystick 1 configured for the remote port. See
screenshots for clarification.
After you both verified your settings are correct on both ends, press 'Start Kaillera' on the 'Configuration'-tab. The
Kaillera-window will now be opened, and you can use a server from the list that appears on the screen or enter an IP
of another Kaillera- server. If you are both on the server, one player creates a game using 'create game' on the bottom.
After that, the other player can simply join the game, by selecting it and pressing 'join'. If you are both ready, the player
that created the game starts it by pressing 'start game', and off you go!
Finally, the local player can start the game, after which both emulators will start loading the game.
The emulator will now sync up (this takes a little while) and the game will be loading. You can now play just as you
would play on a single computer, with the extra addition that the keyboard is shared. You can both press keys on it to
choose extra options. For clarity and fair play, it is recommended that you decide beforehand who is handling the
keyboard.
Close information about how to use it including screenshots and hints how to solve problems
are available in the
documentation.
This is about a beta release which still might contain bugs. Bug reports can be sent to
poopy@postmark.net

In February the search engine Google took over the Usenet service from Deja.com

Google now has integrated the entire Usenet archive beginning from 1995 and by that
enables searching in 650 million of messages (over 1 terabyte of communication).
Until the middle of May it should be possible to post messages to single news groups on
the Usenet via Google Groups.

Dirk Stoecker offers a little extra item.
Somebody doing something valuable for XAD (as Stuart Caie, Andrew Bell or Ronald van Dijk
already did) will receive a free OS 3.9 CD (and of course an own keyfile, too).
This work can be such like new and valuable clients, a great new program or ......

Tales of Tamar
|
50 Additional Beta Testers for T.o.T. Wanted
50 additional beta tester are being looked for Tales of Tamar,
which is an internet-based round game for Amiga, Atari, Linux
and PC developed by Eternity Entertainment Software. With the new
version v0.35 the player is able to "annex land" for the first time.
By annexing land your empire becomes larger and the proportion between
raw material and population will change enormously. We will see that the
high prices for weapons and arming will go down at the markets and will
even out on a normal level. And we will see how countries will be formed
and rulers occupy Tamar.
Annexing is nothing different than leading war which is the fight against
the original inhabitant of a country. To that function Tales of Tamar offers
an efficient fighting machine. It assesses armed forces in over 50 points and
then let the armies fight against each other to the rules of the mediaeval
fighting strategy.
That fighting machine take note of the following aspects:
- Arming
- Weapons
- Second weapons
- Experience
- Training
- Cavalry
- Armies with missiles
- Ratio of troops
- Morality
- Surroundings
- Race
- Exhaustion

Virus Help Denmark: VirusExecutor V2.14
With this update of VirusExecutor V2.14 the new virus "BOBEK" can be deleted from
memory and detected in files. But there is actually no routine to repair infected
files. That means you have to replace the infected files.
More information:
- Name: VirusExecutor v2.14
- Archive name: VirusExecutor.lha
- Archive size: 266.569 Bytes
- Release date: 24. April 2001
- Coded by: Jan Erik Olausen
- Requires: xvs.library (enthalten), xfdmaster.library, reqtools.library, xadmaster.library
News in v2.14
- Fixed enforcer hit when adding files from SYS:WBStartup
- When Enforcer or CyberGuard is running the MMU: text turns blue.
- Using xadmaster.library for extracting archives.
- Improved Bastard file checking a bit
- Added memory checking and file checking for Bobek link virus. Please wait
for a new update of the xvs.library for removals of the Bastard and Bobek virus...
- Shows only the diskdrives that you have.
- Removed the requester 'VirusExecutor is already running'. When starting VE when
VE is already running the screen just comes to front and gets active.
NOTE!
Because of the new Bobek virus I had to release this version of VirusExecutor. Hope it
works with the xadmaster.library ;)

Virus Help Denmark: New Link-Virus Found
A new link-virus has been found, the installer is still unknown, we are looking
for it. This new virus will add 460 bytes to every file that is opened or executed.
That also means that even an antivirus program (that the virus is unknown to),
will infect every file it checks for virus. The new virus patches dos.library
ExNext function to spread it self. The new virus has been given the name "BOBEK",
this is the text you can read in the end of every infected tile.
Okay, here is what we know so far:
Archive name : ?
Archive size : ?
Virus name : BOBEK
Virus size : 460 bytes
Infection : dos.library ExNext
At this time no anti-virus program can find this new virus, so take big care out
there. We are right now testing a beta version of the anti-virus program
VirusExecutor, that will be able to find the virus and to remove it from memory.
If you find or have the installer for this virus, please send it to me.
