`27.May.2023`	Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.5 R82 for Windows 10/11 Raster Master (amiga-news.de reported) is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video). Version 1.5 R82 has now been released, in which it is possible for the first time to switch between the map editor and the sprite editor without having to close the map editor window. If changes were made in the sprite editor and then switched to the map editor, all sprite changes are updated in the map editor view. In addition, the performance of the map editor has been improved so that the tiles can now be drawn much faster. The new method also allows much larger maps to be created. (dr) [News message: 27.

`26.May.2023`	Strategy game: Devlog #1 - Target platforms, supported languages For the announced strategy game "Virtual Enemies" (amiga-news.de reported), the developers have published first information and a first interim status on the development of the game: "Basically we are working on a version that should be playable on the Amiga38. This means that the player should be able to create a character and execute a hack. That is the minimum goal that should be achieved by then. As target platform we aim at an Amiga 500 with 1MB memory. At the same time, the game will be developed absolutely system compliant, which will allow us to access an optional network stack. Yes, you will be able to play the game alone without any restrictions in the story. Nevertheless, we already have some cool multiplayer features on the list. More information will follow in the coming weeks once we have completed initial testing. We are aware that not everyone understands English or that for quite a few the English vocabulary is limited. That's not a shame, Frank's English vocabulary is not the best either. Especially in terms of understanding the story present in the game, this can be problematic. At this point we can give the all-clear: The game will support English and German at release. New languages will be included by adding translated language text files. We, that is LogicalByte, do NOT have to change anything in the game files themselves. It's up to the community to do this on their own to support people who don't know English and German very well. We are currently doing final tests and will publish a guide (and suitable tools) in due time. We know from inquiries that you are greedy for new image material. We would like to fulfill this wish and will publish new pictures time to time in the coming weeks. Please understand that we need longer for some things. :)" (dr) [News message: 26.

`26.May.2023`	AMOS: Eclips animation in "Projects in the attic" added At the end of November, the game developer group "Electric Black Sheep" had published a collection of games under the name "Projects in the attic", which were created for test purposes with the programming language AMOS (amiga-news.de reported). Included was the game "Eclips", in which you steer an owl through a landscape that is always the same. The group added the archive "EclipsAnim.rar" to this game, which now offers a complete animation in the sense of changing landscapes. Impressive! (dr) [News message: 26.

`25.May.2023`	SMB2 handler smb2fs V53.6 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS The Server Message Block (SMB) is a network protocol for file, print and other server services in computer networks and allows access to files and directories located on another computer (Wikipedia entry). Fredrik Wikstrom's SMB2 handler is based on libsmb2 and allows remote access to files via the SMB2/3 protocols (amiga-news.de reported). Changes of version 53.6: read_startup_args() now uses AllocDosObject() to create the RDArgs for ReadArgs() instead of allocating it locally on the stack. Strangely this bug didn't seem to cause any problems on AmigaOS 4 but on AmigaOS 3 it caused an AN_BadFreeAddr (#0100000F) alert on filesystem exit (ACTION_DIE). Requirements: newlib.library V53.40 or later (or V53.30 as included in AmigaOS 4.1 FE) and the filesysbox.library V54.4 or later for AmigaOS 4, filesysbox.library 54.3 or later for AROS and AmigaOS 3 and optional the requester.class (ClassAct/ReAction, for password requester) for AmigaOS 3. Downloads: smb2fs.i386-aros.lha (81 KB) smb2fs.m68k-amigaos.lha (149 KB) smb2fs.ppc-amigaos.lha (128 KB) (dr) [News message: 25.
