Tales of Tamar: 1st Quest - barbarians of the Southern lands! Rules: This quest is for new players beginning June, 1st 2005. Players who want to register for this quest have to enter 'Barbaren der Südlande' in the notes field of the registration form. The aim of the barbarians is to conquer at least 150 Morgen of the northern countries each month. It's not 150 acres per barbarian but all lords together have to reach this aim. To ensure a free development the area of the barbarians is kept encapsuled. Beginning with August, 1st 2005 the frontiers will be opened and from then on each month the conquered Morgen will be counted. If the number passes the 150 Morgen all barbarians can continue playing for free. Does the conquered area not pass 150 Morgen is the invasion not successful and the players' state will be set to the shareware mode. Registering will be possible from May, 15th to May, 30th 2005. This quest is cross platform, so it can be played an all systems (PC, Linux, Mac, Amiga (+ MOS,+ OS4)). Quest operator: Martin Wolf Price: continued playing for free as long as the quest's aim is reached. (cg) (Translation: wk) [News message: 07.

Final update for SystemPatch to version 2.94 SystemPatch by Sante Nocciolino changes various operating system routines to increase the performance of systems with newer 68k processors. The most can be got from 68060 systems but it can be used on all Amigas with at least a 68020. The author expects the version 2.94 to be the last update. A release of the source code at a later time - as it was with others of his programs - is possible. Download: SystemPatch2.lha (42 KB) (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 07.

In contrary to other programs of this kind OpenPictureSpace does not display the pictures in a grid with n x m thumbnails but scales them only vertically and tries to put as many as possible in each row to use the screen space as best as possible. Changes in version 2.5:

MorphOS: MisterBanana 1.3 published It follows the original press release concerning the publishing of the newest version for the known desktop mascot for MorphOS: "No may without Banana That's our motto. Sadly current MisterBanana 1.5 with all the cool extra features only works properly with still unreleased MorphOS 1.666. But thanks to the banana god, we could resurrect source code of MisterBanana 1.4 and bumped it down to 1.3 to make this update release happen just in time. It's hopefully the last before the 1.5 release, and solves no bugs or problems with the previous public release, but adds a few new sayings and options, including faked transparency, an updated hotlist, anonymizer support and a secret feature to destroy the world. We wish you fun! Oh.. and get the little fellow from here or become amazed 'bout this very cool screenshot." (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

Amiga User List: GAUHPIL Database in Spanish The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a MySQL based database created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll. It contains website addresses of Amiga users, that can be questioned by continent and country. Additionally, it features a flexible search function. Thanks to the kind support of Dámaso Domínguez, the GAUHPIL is now also translated to Spanish. Furthermore, Dámaso again found many users from the "Lost Links List" by hardworking research. Other defective links were moved there. So the database contents could be cleaned up significantly. Currently, the GAUHPIL lists 713 users from 38 countries. The number of users for each country can be found on the page "All Countries". (snx) [News message: 04. May. 2005, 00:26] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
