Game: Tales of Tamar now also for PC
Tales of Tamar is an Internet-based round game for Amiga, Atari, Linux and PC of Eternity Entertainment Software.

With PC-version 0.20 the game is now playable without any restricts on a PC. Distributing grain, feeding the folk, gathering the corn, controlling the increase of the population, setting the tax, exploring...belong to the tasks of the ruler in the PC version up to now.

Thus Tales of Tamar is the first game in the world which unites the computer platforms of Atari, Amiga and PC in an online-game.

We are still looking for alpha-tester for each platform. Ask your friends and acquaintances and try to prove yourself in this fantasy-world. Who really is the better strategist? Please mail to Martin Wolf if you are interested in. (ps) (Translation: dr)

NARR-site: Skin for MUICD-player and MI-set for PlayGUI
Richard Kapp writes:
All those who do not like the OS 3.9 CD-player and miss a graphically appropriate other one should risk a peep at MUI-CD player where you can exchange the graphical buttons. On my homepage you can download a gfx-set with aqua-look for the great CD-player ´MUICD-Player´. The alternative images glow and give away when clicking them. Have a look at a screenshot.

Maybe it encourage some users to create their own sets?

Besides this some areas have been changed. There are now more current screenshots and a MI-icon (thanks to Martin Merz!) image set for PlayGUI which also contains a special MI-skin. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Homepage of IMAGE now hosted on an Amiga
From today on the homepage of IMAGE works on proper Amiga! For this purpose an Amiga 4000 equipped with AmigaOS 3.9, a 68040/40, a X-Surf and hopefully sufficient RAM as well as Amiga-Apache, Amiga-MySQL, PHP4 and Perl has been set up at a web-hoster.

Thus the IMAGE-pages might be the only sites of a Amiga user group which also run on an Amiga. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Updater v1.31 / Reactions of the press
Airsoft Softwair released Updater version 1.31 on there homepage. The program lets you - as a owner of ´The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM´ - download new updates from the protected downloadsection. The new version contains a major bugfix so it is highly recommended to use the new version.

Furthermore there are some pressreviews of this CD-ROM. For example an article by AMIGAplus (7/8 2001) and one by the Amiga-Magazin (7/2001). So if you want to find some information about the CD you are now able to find some at the Airsoft homepage. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Midi-Sequencer: BarsnPipes1
Alfred Faust wrote:
The first official version of the new development fork of the well known and popular MIDI-sequencer BarsnPipes is now available in the download section of my homepage.

New: The screenmode can now be changed via a requester. You can change the resolution, the color depth (up to 256 colors), and the size of the screen. Nearly every requester and menu is now ported to Gadtools.library without losing the feeling of BarsnPipes.

This makes it possible to control big parts of the program via the keyboard. The program now supports different languages. Volunteers who want to translate the program can download a small development package (CatTrans.lha) that contains the catalogue-compiler CComp and a small how-to.

amiga-news.de headlines on your homepage
Within the scope of a PHP workshop the (German) Amiga-Magazin has recently dealt with the possibility to include our news via a backend within their own PHP website. As the scripts were thoroughly tested since then we don't want to withhold this possibility from our users. Here you can see an example of the result.

Important: The preset time of six hours must not be reduced! Calls with shorter intervals will lead to IP blocking!

Please read in the following translation of the article from Amiga-Magazin how you can include this service in your website:

Fresh news with PHP

Some news sites like amiga-news.de offer a backend service for up-to-date news. To do this the site creators provide a special file on the server that e.g. makes the last ten headlines available. These data can be included in the own start page by using PHP so that you can always offer fresh news on your site.

In listing 3 you see a solution in PHP. You can include this script snip in the own document and with every call are the current headlines of amiga-news.de shown on your page. The PHP script pulls the data file and does a conversion into HTML code. This is written into a temporary file and then included in the page.

Before doing the transfer the script verify the age of the present local data. After reaching an appointed age the head file of amiga-news.de is read and the list is created anew. Then the script overwrites the local data.

In the first part are declared some variables. These are the server address, the port used by the script to transfer the data from amiga-news.de and the file the data are written to. The following variables define some values for time and date. In the example comes a list with names of months next that are later needed for generating the HTML text.

Now the actual program begins. The script gets the headlines every six hours from amiga-news.de. A shorter period of time shouldn't be chosen because of performance reasons. Otherwise data would be pulled too often from the server and unnecessarily increase the data transfer. If the data are too old the script opens a connection via port Port 80 (HTTP) to amiga-news.de, transfers the data and generates the HTML data by using these. If a connection to amiga-news.de can't be established a corresponding error message will appear.

The script now read line by line the data -- the format of the amiga.news.de headlines can be found in listing 4. If the script hits the string %% (beginning of a message) it starts the evaluation of the data. The first line in the headline is the title -- it is read into a corresponding variable ($headline). Then follows the link to the message -- it goes to $headlink. After that follow date and time.

In our case only the date is of interest for us. That's why the back part of the data is simply cut with the strtok command. The space between date and time is the parting sign.

In the example we want always summarize the news of a day and place the date before it. For that reason the program is testing the date -- if it's empty it becomes the current date. With explode the year, month and day are parted into single strings (parting sign is a hyphen -- see listing 4). Then is the string for the output of the current date assembled. A non-breakable space is set at the beginning so that the date is inserted a little bit and the tag for the bold print (<B>) is set.

Now follow the day, the month and the year. In this step are also the predefined month names inserted (see beginning of the listing). At the end there has to be a </B> to deactivate the bold mode (bold print).

With the following if-clause the program tests whether the last read data ($current_date) is greater than the obtained one ($akdate). If this is the case a new date line for HTML has to be generated, as the next message comes from the previous day. Here is the advantage of the automatic type conversion in PHP used. When comparing with »greater« PHP interpretes the string as number. If $current_date is not greater than $akdate there's simply an empty string allocated for $ak_date.

Hint: The variable $akdate has two functions in the script - it is used as memory for the date obtained by amiga-news.de and later on used for the date line in the HTML code.

When the date line is done the HTML code for the headline with link is being generated. At the beginning is the date integrated. Is the headline from the same day as in the line before this string is set to »empty« during the date comparison in the upper part -- no date is inserted. After that the program writes the generated HTML line into th local news file. This is done until all lines of the headline file have been read. The local data file will then be closed and the connection to the server of amiga-news.de will be closed.

In the last part of the script is the integration of the news file (that already contains HTML code) into the website done. The server then sents this part to the client.

The presented solutions can in principe already be integrated in the own website. But it contains almost no text formatting. During the assembling of the string for the date the text is set to bold in the example -- but you can here also change the font size (font tag). You can built a table, too, and feed the other data (time, rubric, editor) into the list.

Jobs: Bonehead Development - help wanted
Newly founded Bonehead Development needs help for High-End Amiga game.

Yes, thats right! The newly founded game developer Bonehead Development is seeking help for their new and first project. We need all kind of people working with us and don't think twice about sending in your work to us. Please mail us soon!

Wer are a very small group of people who want to aim high on the gaming market with our first project called "Z-Squad" which is a mix of horror, 3d action, humour, beat 'em up, and strategy. We are early in development, in fact that early that we need help to get it going and we need GFX artists, coders, sketch artists, musicians, sound artists, and maybe some more. We hope that the game will be released both to Amiga and PC, cause we're seeing very serious in the matter and were not doing it out of good will. In other words, if there's no money there's no game. We want your work, but please don't mail us your 20MB demo before letting us know, cause our mail-server is a bit slow.

PS: It's an advantage if you live in Sweden, but no demand. So now, send us your work and we will answer all of those who will mail us.

On 7. July 2001 a short interview with James Daniels, Apex Designs, about the PPC version of Payback was published on amipal.

Among other things the current frame-rates accomplished by James Daniels can be taken from this interview. Indeed these lag behind of what Jack Daniels was hoping for. The memory bandwidth appears to slow down.

Graphic Adventure Engine: Inga Beta
Timo Kloss wrote:
The developer pack for the graphic adventure engine 'Inga' was finished, more or less. Thus I'm now wanting beta testers.

Since the engine itself was not finished, yet, testing will focus the tools and manual. The following shall be checked:
  • Are the developer programs bug-free?
  • Do these run on any machine?
  • Are there suggestions for the tools?
  • Is the manual complete and plain?
  • Of course also the runability of the engine shall be tested.
If you are interested, please contact Timo@inutilis.de and provide close information about your configuration (hardware, software, versions, etc.)

The people elected will then receive the developer pack as digital version, only, (that is to say without the printed manual, but with a text file) and are enabled to purchase it at the half price on release. You will be allowed to go on using the digital version, anyway.

The developer pack runs on: AmigaOS V3.0+, CPU 68020+, graphics board with CyberGraphX. (sd) (Translation: mj)

Emulation: CD32 emulation for Windows (update)
The first CD32 emulator for Windows, the CD32 Games Install Kit, was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. This emulator works in connection with the famous WinUAE. Exactly like in the Amiga version, patches are applied to every single game. This gives a very good compatibility. Even digital CD audio is already supported. However you will require a custom version of the WinUAE which can be downloaded from my web page. Currently the CD32 Games Install Kit for Windows is only available for owners of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM (download it in the protected update area!).

Update 08. July 2001:
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote in the German comments on this message:
I have had implemented some functions for CD audio handling in the custom version of WinUAE. Indeed those only can be utilized by my sub-system Install2001 which runs on the Amiga part, thus I don't know if the WinUAE team would like to have those functions in every official release. I will inquire it, anyway. But like already told, without Install2001, so without the Install Kit, those functions are just useless....

AmigaOS: AmigaSDL
The cross platform handling of games and multimedia applications is often very difficult. There's a great number of libraries that are supposed to close this gap. Among them SDL (Simple Directmedia Layer) seems to come out as the probably most elegant and best supported project of this kind. Thanks to the latest work of long standing Amiga developer Gabriele Greco there's now an AmigaOS port of SDL available.

In his article (title link) John Chandler wrote on Suite101.com why SDL may probably be the best solution in cross platform programming for the AmigaOS and delivers some links.

SHARKS! is a skill game playing underwater. Our brave diver is away to search the sea ground for treasures. The area in which he is is full of sharks, though ..., so: BE CAREFUL !!! Collect as many treasues as possible and be aware of the sharks! Because of too little feedback by the users the further development has ceased!

Amiga Arena "File Cutter" code!
Stefan Berge has made the code of File Cutter available to the Amiga Arena!

File Cutter serves to split files. You can e.g. split a file of 8MB (animation, LHA archive) into several small files so that you can put this file with no problem shared over several disks for further transport. On another computer these files are put together to the original complete file again.

Fonts: new Fontutility ports / dictionaries wanted
On my homepage (and soon on aminet, too) can two new ports of font utilities be found that will be of use for the DTP interested and the font freaks. "ttf2pt1" converts TrueType fonts into the Postscript format for use in Pagestream, FinalWriter, Drawstudio, etc. and bases on the latest source codes. "afm2pfm" converts between Postscript fontmetric files. Despite the archive's name it's also possible to convert from PFM files to AFM files. Both programs can be found in the "Font Utilties" area of my website, additionally there's a PowerPC version for WarpOS available of "ttf2pt1".

Furthermore I'm looking for German language dictionary files of all kind (term definitions, thesaurus, foreign word dictionary, ...) for my new project. In contrary to the English there seems to be a real lack in the German speech area, at least regarding free, documented formats. If anybody owns such files or some Duden software out of the PC library series (or something similar) I'd be thankful if he/she would contact me via email. (cd) (Translation: wk)

Emulator: WinUAE Version 0.8.16R4 released (Update)
Version 0.8.16 Release 4 of WinUAE, the Amiga emulator for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K, and WinXP, was released. The following has changed:

  • FIXED: 50Hz/60Hz switching (B.C. Kid) works again. (Toni Wilen)
  • FIXED: Various Picasso96 issues. (Bernd Roesch)
  • FIXED: F11 should be back-slash again.
  • ADDED: .GZ support in floppy dialog. (Timothy Roughton, aka Inner)
  • CHANGED: Tweaked the sound-code yet again, hopefully will be less choppy.
  • CHANGED: Tweaked the exception-handling code for JIT. (Bernie Meyer)
  • REMOVED: icon1.ico from the source-code archive.
Download: WinUAE0816R4.exe - help.zip (German) - help.zip (English)

Update:
This version was created on 03. June 2001, already.
Sorry for this double message, must be due to the heat ;-). (ps) (Translation: mj)

Universal-Filter V2.1 Update for PageStream 3.x/4.x
A new version 2.1 of the PageStream universal filter was released. This free universal filter enables PageStream to load many graphic formats, BME or HHV.

This new version fixes a v2.0 filter problem in loading pictures with colour palettes, which could crash PageStream or HHV. It is strongly suggested to install this update.

Beside of the above fix some more small things were enhanced (e.g. new pnglib, lower stack requirement). Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to finish the support for the PhotoShop format. :-( (ps) (Translation: mj)

So you think there is not enough Amiga programs? Then write your own or brush up on your skills with this non-technical guide to technical things!
