Tech-Demo: Update for 'Street Fighter 2' game with Scorpion Engine
'Street Fighter 2' is the attempt to recreate the well-known beat'm up on the Amiga using the Scorpion Engine in a better way. The author is not going to develop a full game but hopes to inspire other developers. The update for the playable demo version includes the following changes:
  • Added (fake) character selection, (cursor moves and has some sounds)
  • Improved palette for HUD, VS screen and win screen
  • Added Ken walking towards Ryu if he's too far away (buggy)
  • Added small knockback when Ken gets hit
  • Added P1 score with correct font and KO sfx

AmigaGuide to HTML converter: GuideML 3.16 for AmigaOS 3/4
GuideML is an AmigaGuide to HTML converter which can convert most AmigaGuides and since v3.1 also has a GUI. After 13 years the author Chris Young has updated the tool, which originally was started by Richard Körber. Additional to some bug fixes, now the tool uses the locale.library v38+ which should remove accents from characters for better compatibility. And version 3.16 introduces basic support for the '@{img' command of AmigaOS 3.2.




The command line version now requires OS2.1 (but no longer tested by the author) while the GUI version at least requires AmigaOS 3.2. The archive includes also a version for Amiga OS4 (screenshots). In our little test the conversion worked fine with different AmigaGuide files. But the tool does not create a protocol file so you do not know what maybe went wrong. A 'main.html' file always is created as well as seperate html files and for the other chapters.

The program is open source, the source code available on GitHub. (dr)

Music editor: MusicMaker V8 Version 3.12 (update)
Thomas Winischhofer's 'MusicMaker V8' ('MMV8') is a sample-based music editor which the author started back in 1986 as hobby project. As the author wrote, "much later it published in France and the German speaking parts of Europe by Data Becker (V1.76) and by Wolf Software (V2.358, Germany only)." This version 3 dates back to late 1992 and was never published as a commercial product.

In the readme it is explained, that MMV8 uses "macros" which - unlike "patterns" in trackers - apply to a single channel only. Those "macros" are then put in a playing order, which is called a track. As MMV8 provides up to eight audio channels, up to eight tracks can be set up.

As Thomas Winischhofer told us some time ago, he "doesn't really want to do anything more on the MM except occasionally fix bugs that stand out." That would not be worth reporting. However, this has turned into a few updates in recent times, each of which has been published on Aminet. As the developer writes, he has small windows of time at the moment, which, unlike the DSP drivers - his other Amiga project of the recent past) he can use sitting at the emulator to fix bugs and improve the source code from 1986 and the following years. But he definitely doesn't want to take away the character and charm of the 80s from the program.

In the latest versions the author mainly worked on the GUI and fixed several minor bugs.


Who of our readers had or has used the music editor?

Update: (07:43, 24.10.21, dr)

Meanwhile version 3.12 is available. Now "m" now shows instrument paths and minor inconvenience in the install script were fixed. (dr)
