Programmer for Realsoft 4D (Amiga) wanted!
Realsoft announced the successor of Real3D on their homepage. The new version is called Realsoft 4D, and is currently only planned for Windows, sadly, since Realsoft has so far not found a programmer willing to implement such a demanding program for the Amiga. Should someone be interested, please contact barkholt@post3.tele.dk. (ps)

This is where IWin is stealing...
We thought from the very beginning that IWin is a fake/hoax. Now, we read in the Amiga Club Forum a posting from Ulf, with a URL (title link) which confirms this anew. You find the plagiarism on the IWin coorporation website (see DatapakTM).

Dear IWin crew, don't you think it's about time to come out ;-). The title "biggest hoax/fake of Amiga history" has been yours for quite some time already :-). (ps)

S-Files
Starting immediately, clickBOOM will tell what's new every month with their "S-Files". In the current S-File there are christmas and new-year greetings. Then, a new game for girls is announced: "Sarah goes shopping" - which turns out to be a joke from Sofia (author of the newsletter.
In my opinion it wouldn't be bad to target people who don't like the shoot-em-up genre that much. (ps)

Then, the newsletter announced what can be expected from the next ten days:
Further details about the new game "Nightlong".
A new project named TNT will be announced.
A statement about PPC and future Amiga developments.
A "crazy" offer: all clickBOOM games - if you do something for it (what will be told next time). (ps)

SecondSpin v1.85 / JST Version 2.9c

SecondSpin v1.85 released
SecondSpin is a new encoder that doesn't have to be started from Shell, but offers an easy-to-use GUI. For encoding the MPEG files, the packet relies on the LAME encoder. The audio tracks can be loaded directly from the Audio-CD, and converted to MPEG Audio files. AIFF and WAV files can be converted, with the conversion MPEG -> AIFF being possible too, with support for layer 1, 2 and 3. New: Now also supports conversion of Protracker, XM, S3M and Fasttracker modules to AIFF or MP3. Download.

JST Version 2.9c
In the new version of the Degrader and HD-Installer, the WHDload emulation has been fixed. Download: jst.lha

Aminet GUI update
Alexander Kurtz writes:
I applied some changes to the layout of the interactive area. You can now easily switch between areas. For technical reasons I cannot offer the chat room anymore! I am looking for a new system hopefully usable for Amiga browsers. If you sill want to chat, I can warmly recommend #miggy.de. It is available on de.arcnet.vapor.com. Try it.

Moreover I want to announce that work on the reworked layout of the seperate directory pages is almost finished. I think I can put the expanded layout online starting next year. Since I am not at home from December 24th to somewhat around January 3rd, there won't be updates during this time. And since this update is the last one for this year, I want to wish all users a merry christmas, and a happy new year 2000. Thank you to all visiting my page regulary, and I hope you come back in 2000 to my Aminet GUI! (ps)

Followup to the statement concerning development of HSMathLibs
Matthias Henze writes:
In this statement I wrote that many users complained about bad support. It occured to me that many forums and mailing lists carried postings about the stormamiga.lib and the HSMathLibs. Obviously there are many questions on the subject, the answers of other users are however seldom close to the truth. Guesses, rumors, speculations and half-truths are spread, but almost nobody comes up with the idea to contact the author, me.

I cannot know every forum and mailinglist. If you have a question, a comment, criticism etc., has to tell me, and not simply complain about bad support. Questions and comments on the subject please by e-mail to Matthias_Henze@CyberdyneSystems.de. (ps)

Nightlong is coming
clickBOOM's Millennium Madness continues --

the biggest Amiga game ever will be ready very soon, so it's time to show you more of it.

We have prepared the Nightlong movie trailer to whet your appettite while waiting for the game. It's a cool teaser to show what the game looks like in motion. Mind you, it's in low res, and not too long so it wouldn't take forever to download.
You'll have to try to imagine it at 640x480 16-bit gfx and 16-bit sound. :)

Full specs for Nightlong will be available in a few days. (ps)

Fake Warning!
The latest Aminet upload of "VersionWB" (3.0) in util/sys is a fake. In the program itself, (probably) only the version number has been changed, the file has the same size as the current v2.12. The archive has been expanded by some "jokes".

Håkan Parting, author of VersionWB, writes:
If you have installed the fake version, please remove it again and replace the VersionWB command with the original. If the fake contains a virus is not yet known. Download the original: VersionWB2_12.lha. (ps)

Lambda - 3d space action game
In his Lambda status report Mikko says that most basic functions of the new 3D engine have been defined and implemented in OpenGL. That "Descent: Freespace" will now be ported was a slap in his face, since he begun Lambda development because there were no up-to-date 3D space action games for Amiga. After he recovered from the initial shock, he is wildly determined to make Lambda better than its pendant.

Does anybody know the e-mail address of Mikko Kallinen? If so, please send a short e-mail. (ps)

BUGFIX Installerscript VersCheck V2
Three days ago a bug sneaked into the VersCheckV2 Installer script. For those who didn't already fix the bug on their own:
  1. The fixed archive is on my homepage, and will soon be available from Aminet too. Download: VersCheckV2.lha
  2. Only available from my homepage is a second archive containing only the Installer script. Download: VersCv2Fix1.lha - 11 Kb.
  3. For those daring enough: In line 31 of the script, a ")" is missing at the end of the line - that's it. Somehow it got lost. The Installer message says line 1163 or such, because the effect of the missing bracket is not recognized earlier.

Amiga RC5 Team Effort News
Andreas Mayer-Gürr writes:
1.) CSC: A new PC client, twice as fast as the old one, is available.
2.) RC5: An older 68k (beta) RC5 client is available, which does not support some details of the latest client (like status bar and statistics with Myzar), but is about 30% faster. I tried it and it works very well, my 68060 does about 148 kkeys/sec instead of the 117 kkeys it did before. If you only use the client for calculating, I did not encounter problems. So:
2a.) get blocks with the latest client
2b.) calculate blocks with the beta client
2c.) submit blocks with the latest client, and continue with 2a.)... (ps)

This morning, the X-Surf ethernet cards have been delivered to all distributors at the same time, a full week delayed. The delay of the delivery was however not due to technical problems, but due to my car accident: I was busy handling police, insurance and the company that towed away my car (by the way, anyone interested in a Volvo 850 crash car?). Since the cards will reach customers before christmas, however, I think I can be pardoned, can I? (ps)

Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle: New ROMs & MP3s
For all Amiga emulation enthusiasts who ever wondered what Workbench 1.0 looked like, or what the late Jay Miner, "Father of the Amiga", has to say in his own voice about the Amiga and other interesting issues, Cloanto just released the Amiga Forever Plus Pack, which contains new Amiga ROM, Workbench and MP3 audio files! The Plus Pack joins the Amiga Forever family of emulation and support products, which are officially licensed by Gateway's Amiga companies.

Only for the next few days, the Online Edition of Amiga Forever 3.0 (stand-alone) and the Amiga Forever Plus Pack are available in a special holiday bundle for a special price.

The Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle includes the Amiga Forever Online Edition package, with its preinstalled Amiga emulation environment (1.3 and 3.1 Amiga ROM and OS) and the Amiga Explorer networking software, plus the following new items, which are part of the Plus Pack:


  • Amiga Workbench ADF files v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.04 and 2.1
  • Amiga ROM files v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.04 (WB 2.1 uses 2.04 ROM)
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 1: Birth of the Amiga
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 2: Computers and Society
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 3: A New Job
  • New HTML pages, including instructions to play MP3 audio files

For download convenience, the items are archived in two files which can be downloaded separately, also with the help of an optional download wizard. It is always possible to resume an interrupted download, or to download the same file again at no additional cost. The Plus Pack is cross-platform, while Amiga Forever Online Edition is for Windows systems only.

The Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle is available now from the Amiga Forever Home Page at http://cloanto.com/amiga/forever/ (title link)
The Cloanto Team wishes all Amiga fans great holidays and a very happy New Year! (ps)

Translator wanted!
Since the "restart" of the English pages of Amiga-News, the daily translations are a one-man-job again because Marek didn't respond so far.

I am looking for users willing (long-term) to do German - English translations regulary of all news items appearing on a given day of the week (or two), and send them to me by e-mail.

You don't need to know HTML well. If you can type <A HREF=""> and <OBJECT><UL><LI>, know the pop-up menu of your favourite browser and can handle a text editor, you qualify. :-) Oh, and you should be able to read (and understand) German. ;-)

Those interested in supporting Amiga-News this way should contact me by e-mail. (ps)

Epic Marketing News
Did you enjoy the charming adventures of little Simon as much as we did? Did you always hope for the successor to be ported to Amiga? Have you been mad because this great game was only available for PC? Now there is the opportunity to change this...

Epic Marketing got the license to port Simon The Sorcerer II to Amiga. On the one hand, we are of course very proud to get the opportunity to port this great adventure to the Amiga. But with the latest ongoings at Amiga (Inc) we have to ask ourselves how many Amiga users at all are interested in a first class game? The license, the porting and the production of SImon The Sorcerer II won't be cheap. So we decided to do a pre-order campaign. We need 500 pre-orders to do Simon The Sorcerer II for Amiga. When we reach the 500 limit, the game should be available in 8 weeks.

We will update the pre-order data on our homepage weekly. Simon The Sorcerer will run on all AGA or gfx board systems with 030 CPU and sufficient memory (about 8 MB fast). The game will only be released on CD.

Please place your pre-orders here:
Online: order@epic-marketing.de

Fax: (+49) (0)7071 400493

Amiga games wish list
Andreas Magerl writes:
On our homepage, area "Aktion", you'll find a form for entering your top 5 wish list for games on Amiga. The submissions are evaluated regulary, and published in each issue of Amiga Future and our homepage.

Of course it only makes sense if enough users participate. The idea is to show coders and companies over a long timespan which games are wanted by Amiga users. (ps)

AmigaOS 3.5 - self-made fix for broken AGA buttons
Michaela Prüß writes:
For all those who still have the problem with AWeb 3 SE (OS 3.5), or probably all other AWeb versions, too, that there are some colored dots instead of the buttons at the top: There is a way to fix it (already reported to amiga.de):

Load images/def_buttons in a graphics program (I did it with PPaint). Expand the palette from 8 to 16 colors, and copy the 8 colors to the 8 new ones. Then adjust the first 8; it doesn't matter to what, but it must not be any of the original 8 colors. With PPaint, all you have to do is commiting a color adjustment, and the buttons look like before (almost, I had to swith RED and GREEN manually). Then cut it out (preferrably more precise than I did), and save it as imags/def_buttons (back up the original, you never know...). With the 16-color version it worked on first try, and I can finally see the buttons. If someone gets it done precisely, please send me a copy - I never got the hang to paint programs...

Oh, yes, the 16 colors. Don't tell me you surf with 8 colors and it wouldn't work that way. If you surf the web with 8 colors, you should be used to looks like that...

Dennis Gronewald followed up:
There is an easy way to get rid of the gfx bugs in AWeb. Simply enter the image drawer of AWeb. Here you find the file "def_Buttons". Simply put braces around the "Transparent" tool type. Worked for me. (ps)

New CD32 game
Andreas Etzrodt writes:
Good news: We recieved permission by Petro Tyschtschenko himself to offer CD32 games. Without license fees. Citing Petro: "Dear Andreas, we don't want to make money by that. As long as it is not commercial, it's free." Since we already distribute it as Shareware, luckily we don't face any additional costs.

By the way, many have misunderstood our first announcement. Of course we don't want to release a commercial game, with pressed CDs including cover. We want to create a runnable CD32 CD with our own CD-R. Of course it will include a cover, but only a self-printed one.

So interested CD32 owners can contact us, and probably place their pre-order. The CD will not cost more than 15 Euro, probably much less (we did not yet calculate what is possible).

Oh, and for those who missed the first announcement: We talk about the Shareware game "SHARKS!", which is available as demo version from Aminet. Most likely it will be adapted to AGA, so the hardware performance of the CD32 is used.

Source code for DESCENT 2 released!
Sascha Koebner writes:
At the title link, capable Amiga coders can download the source code for 'Descent 2' (by Interplay), and of course port it (!). 'Descent 2' is the successor of the successful 360 degree 3D shooter. The comparatively smart KI, and the heavily improved 3D engine compared to 'Descent 1' should be enough motivations for coders to try their skills at it. It seems to be the source code for the PC version 1.2. (ps)
