`07.Jul.2021`	Updates for Hollywood applications: PerCIMan 0.73 and R²Z 1.6 all Amiga systems Ulrich Beckers has released new versions for his two Hollywood applications 'PerCIMan' and 'R²Z' for all Amiga systems (AmigaOS 3.x (graphics card required), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS (x86)) as well as Windows. PerCIMan is a program for managing personal and contact data. Changes: Critical error during data import or initial startup fixed Adapted for and compiled with Hollywood 9 Fixed some small bugs R²Z is the abbreviation for stimulus-response time. R²Z measures the time interval between a visual stimulus and the subsequent motor response (pressing a button). Changes: New: Two acoustic tests some minor changes to be able to compile it with Hollywood 9 Minor overhaul of the GUI to accommodate more buttons (dr) (Translation: bb) [News message: 07.

`05.Jul.2021` Reddit	Reimplementation of 'Frontier: Elite II'-Intros with browser playback Mark Watson has reverse engineered the Frontier: Elite II game intro. It implements the full 3d renderer and music playback code from the original in C. The source code is available on GitHub. Features: Compiler & decompiler for the game's 3d model format Updated 3d models (e.g. added planet sky to intro) Engine / sound effects playback SDL support (for non-Amiga platforms) Support for 2x and 4x times the original display resolution Mark Watson explained: "DooM is ported to pretty much every platform due to be having a reference implementation in C. I wanted something simalr for FE2 and have always been curious about how the renderer worked. The whole game is not ported because, well.. that would require a ton more work, and maybe Frontier will want to re-release it at some point." The result of his development now can be also watched in a browser playback: It offers double resolution, scaled up to fit the browser window. (dr) [News message: 05.

`05.Jul.2021` Amigans	ALS 1.95: Screen overlay Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has provided "ALS", the AMOS Layers System, a way to layer individual screens of AMOS Professional, specifying the order, colors and degree of translucency (video). The whole thing is written in AMOS and is therefore available as a source code library. About this version Bevilacqua wrote: "This is the last version that supports also OCS and ECS. ALS v2 will be AGA-only. The reason is that supporting all the chipset requires lots of additional code and also slows down execution in many places, while functionality is still very limited on OCS and ECS due to the fact that they offer only 6 bitplanes and 32 color registers. ALS is much more useful on AGA, so it makes sense to have a leaner and faster version for that chipset. Also, I decided to postpone the release of Follix to after ALS v2 is done, so that the game can benefit from it." Changes: Optimized ALS_SET_DISPLAY_COLORS_RANGE_FROM_PALETTE[] and ALS_SET_DISPLAY_COLORS_RANGE_FROM_PALETTE_RANGE[] a little bit. Removed wrong comment from ALS_SET_DISPLAY_COLORS_RANGE_FROM_PALETTE[]. (dr) [News message: 05. Jul. 2021, 06:23] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`03.Jul.2021` Timo Kloss (ANF)	Point'n Click Adventure: First trailer of "Ermentrud" Timo Kloss writes: "The point'n'click adventure game 'Ermentrud' has a first trailer. It is not final yet, so criticism is very welcome. 'Ermentrud' was originally developed between 2001 and 2004 for Amigas with a graphics card, but then abandoned. It was set in a medieval world and featured an absurd plot with absurd humor. And the hero had a cardboard marche horse. This year it will be released after all, though not to the extent planned at the time. It will contain all the original graphics, sounds and music, but the plot will be reworked and "rounded". So far only a German version is planned. It is not yet clear if there will be other languages. The game will be available for free." (cg) (Translation: bb) [News message: 03.
