MorphOS: native versions of MPEG de-/encoders for Wildfire7
"wf_mpeg2decode" and "wf_mpeg2encode" are the MorphOS versions of the free MPEG video loaders and savers that are part of the Wildfire7 distribution.
The two files have to be copied into the directory "system/tools/" in the Wildfire7 main directory. The already existing files have to be replaced with the new ones - the author recommends to create a backup of the old versions first in case problems with the new version should arise.
It cannot be guaranteed that the programs run on all systems, the modules have been tested on a Pegasos 1 G3@600mhz.
Saving of a test animation as MPEG file with the 68k mpegsaver needs 1 minute and 42 seconds (with JIT) while the PPC native version takes 16 seconds.
If there are any questions please contact Andreas Küssner via e-mail. Our thanks go to Oliver Hummel for compiling and doing various tests.

Tales of Tamar: Not enough prospects for "The Great War of Anarrow"
Dear Amiga community, unfortunately there are not enough prospects for our free
action "The great war of Anarrow" (14 at all, 11 Mosianer and 3 Hombres). Therefore
the war will not take place.
But we give a last space of time of one week. If there should be more than
50 persons on each side the war will take place.
We want to invite all interested players to use the shareware option and
to play the game for a while for free.
Greetings,
Wolfen & the ToT-Team (snx) (Translation: dr)

Status report: "Die Kleine Gilde II" & SN-archives
Since the last version of the realtime strategy simulation called "Die Kleine Gilde II"
there have been some changes.
For details please have a look at the developer-diary.
The new version of Die Kleine Gilde II is in beta test and will be published in one
or two weeks. If you have suggestions, bug reports, registrations or simply some feedback
you can contact this special
e-mail-address.
News from the SN-archives:
Since November the account management called "SN-KontoArchiv II" is in development.
The input of account data has already finished. Currently the input and output statistics
are added. SN-KontoArchiv II is the successor of SN-KontoArchiv I and ist not
compatible to the previous version because all source code of this version has vanished.
SN-KontoArchiv will be part of "SN-Archiv-Paket".
Those ones who have already registered can also use SN-KontoArchiv II without any restrictions
Status of SN-EuroArchiv II:
SN-EuroArchiv 1.9 is also in work. The entry list can be now adapted with up to
17 columns. The HTML-support for KMS and special coins was also improved.
Now it is possible to determine the colour of special coins in KMS (KMS-HTML-site) or
to determine the special coin from the KMS (special coin-HTML-site).
Just like above: Send suggestions, bug reports, registrations or other feedback to
this e-mail-address. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Database: MUIbase V1.9
Today version 1.9 of the Amiga-database MUIbase was published. News and
improvements in this version:
- New program functions: DAY, MONTH, YEAR, DATEDMY, MONTHDAYS, YEARDAYS, ADDMONTH, ADDYEAR, APPLY
- Improvements for TRIMSTR and REPLACESTR
- New start functions when double clicking in virtual lists
- Internal optimations which speeds up Lisp-code
- Better support for Amiga OS4
- Option for external program sources
Besides this there is now a MUIbase "light" version which does not have all the functions
of MUIbase. Structure editor, program editor and ARexx-port are missing. MUIbase light
can be freely copied and is available for i386 Linux and Windows.
A GTK V2.4 installation is required. In future MUIbase light will be completed to a
full version.
For discussions and feedback concerning MUIbase there is a
mailing list.

AmigaOS 4: Movie-Player "Mplayer" Preview 4 (Update)
Under the title-link you'll find a new beta version of OS 4 port of Mplayer (screenshot). The most important changes in comparison to the last release:
- Speed raised about 25-30 %
- New video and audio drivers (vo sdl, ao sdl, vo jpg, vo png). Full-screen display is possible without any problems using the SDL drivers (change to it from window mode and back with "f"). Because of missing hardware support the full-screen mode is still relatively slow. The JPEG and PNG drivers convert a video to a series of single pictures
- Streaming video/audio is supported (untested)
- Support for "playlists"
- Support for more codecs
Known problems:
- The SDL drivers fails to start when there is no corresponding resolution available

Tales of Tamar: New Amiga Version 0.53-R2
Beloved Amiga Community, the time has finally come that we release a new Amiga version. Only now, finally, has it become ready, and we're now going to demonstrate our unbroken Amiga loyalty.
Perhaps we can also tempt you to participate in this unique roleplaying game. With the action of the "Great War of Anarrow" we gives you the possibility of participating in this game and its special community. It is of no import to us which computers you use. It's all the same whether you choose Pegasos, AmigaOne, UAE, Amithlon, Classic Amiga, PC or Mac. They all have the possibility of participating at least in the shareware version. Become acquainted with nice humans and to increase your circle of friends.
Further, we'd like to notify you that Amiga dealers already offer Tales of Tamar at reasonable prices. It's been available on eBay for about a year for 9.90 euros (approx. 14 dollars -DM) and at Vesalia the remaining stock is 39.90 euros (approx 65 dollars -DM). As soon as this remaining stock is gone however, the price will rise.
[long, long list of new features and much other article text not translated -DM]
We wish you a lot of fun with the new version, and remind you to first make a backup, before you install the new version, you never know what could happen!
-Your ToT team

MorphOS: Developer Utility ChocolateCastle Released
With ChocolateCastle V0.1 Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released a tool that helps programmers to assemble BOOPSI and MUI classes (screenshot).
ChocolateCastle provides systems for such classes on the basis of the developer's defaults. You can indicate the name of the class, the superclass, the generating method (including the respective dispatcher entry) and the message structure that is used. The program produces compiler-ready source code as framework for the programmer to further fill out.
Extension of ChocolateCastle's functionality is planned for future versions by the incorporation of shared LIBRARIES, external Boopsi and MUI classes, as well as complete MUI applications further in the future. Comments, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are welcomed by the author.

Update of xml2.library to Version 4.0
Newly-available Version 4.0 of xml2.library allows the reading, processing, and writing of XML and HTML data.
The DTD support contains the analysis and validation of even complex DTDs, either during the parser entry or later after the modification of the document. The output is achieved in a simple SAX stream or a DOM-resembling representation in memory. In the latter case the built-in XPath and XPointer implementations are used in order to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible input/output mechanism is available with existing HTTP and FTP modules combined in a URI library.

EvenMore: Textviewer now with datatype support
A new Datatypes plugin is available, allowing EvenMore to load any text document supported by datatypes (e.g. via DocDatatypes, etc). The executable and Generic plugin have been modified to allow this Datatype plugin to work.
EvenMore plugins take precedence over the Datatypes. If you have a document that you prefer opened via a datatype rather than through an EvenMore plugin, simply delete the EvenMore plugin (not forgetting to flush the memory), and reload the file.
I have also fixed a major problem with the language catalogs. Unfortunately I had deleted some unused strings in the executable, and this meant some strings appeared in the wrong place. Make sure you download the new executable and the EasyGUI Prefs plugin to fix this. Thanks!
The new versions of EvenMore and its extensions can be downloaded under the title link in the Download and the Plugins area, respectively. (snx)

Amiga Java: status report about JAmiga project
Under the title link you can find a short status report about the Java implementation "Jamiga". Version 0.0.5 will soon be available, interested developers can already download the "daily snapshots" and compile these.
The source codes are prepared for being compiled under AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. Whether this can be done under AmigaOS 4 is unknown, the developers ask for feedback about this.
The new version implements now for the first time the "JNI" interface. This makes it for external developers possible to create Java native libraries that are built like the shared libraries known from the AmigaOS.

IOSPIRIT: Spring promotion with free drivers
Even before the calendaric beginning of spring, spring has arrived in Germany and at IOSPIRIT. "Time to polish our offers.", we thought. No sooner said than done:
We keep our low special prices of only 9.99 EUR per title until the 31st of March - and add even more to it: as a free extra, fxSCAN and VHI Studio now come with full versions 1 of our drivers. For fxSCAN that is the IOUSB Scanner Package and for VHI Studio that's the IOUSB DigiCam Package and the VHI RS232 Pack 2.
Take advantage of this truely low-priced opportunity and give the gift of software made with love to your computer ;-)
- free extra - thus without support, functional guarantee or warranty of any kind. You find the serials of the drivers on the invoice that you are being sent via e-mail as PDF.
- the VHI RS232 pack does not contain Olympus drivers. These are no longer available.

individual Computers: New software
Catweasel MK4 with Linux drivers
Michael Krause has adapted his cwfloppy driver for Linux to the Catweasel MK4. The new driver is only available for Kernel version 2.6, and can currently only read disks. Get more information on the author's homepage.
MMC64 plugins available
The flashcard-based mass storage device for the C64 computer supports a plugin system that handles unknown filetypes with external programs. The first plugins support the seven picture formats Koala, Doodle, Advanced Art Studio, Interpaint, Hi-Eddi, Art Studio and Paint Magic.
Download: MMC64_PicturePlugins.zip (5 KByte)
Further, there's a player for a streaming.video format that's already supported by another mass storage unit for the C64:
PAL version:: MMC64_aniplgin10_PAL.zip (2 KByte)
NTSC version: MMC64_aniplgin10_NTSC.zip (2 KByte)
The BIOS of MMC64 has been improved a lot after the first bug reports. The new version 0.96 can be flashed by the user by simply placing the file in the SYSTEM64 directory of a flashcard. Should anything go wrong while flashing the unit with the browser, the same tool is available on a recovery disk.
BIOS: MMC64_V096.zip (7 KByte)
Recovery disk: MMC64_Recovery_096.zip (8 KByte)
Detailed documentation of MMC64 is now available in the support area of the website of individual Computers. Programmers can find information about the MMC64 registers, and a few code examples of how to read and write data from and to the flashcard in their own programs. A commented source code for a plugin will follow in a few days.

MUI: several source codes secured
Jens Langner announces that his call to support the saving of the data from Allan Odgaard's broken hard-disk (amiga-news.de reported), led to a success. All data could be secured so that active development of products like "TextEditor.mcc", "BetterString.mcc", "HTMLview.mcc" or "IProbe" can now continue.
Under the title link has Langner summarized the events and explains in short the licences he wants to use to distribute the named titles in the future. He thanks especially all those who have supported him and shows his deep impression regarding the extent of the support he received.

Most importantly, please update your PPCZone Project entries (if you received your ODW and somehow did not get an account yet please contact matt@genesi.co.uk).
Partners and potential partners are logging in to see the latest updates and entries.
With the advent of the initiative in China, Genesi will be seeking to support/develop additional national centers. Discussions involving a second facility in India and a third to support Central and South America are already underway. Your PPCZone Project entries are a meaningful way for you to present your developments to Genesi Partners and Customers. Please keep them updated!
The
first round of Pilot Projects are drawing to successful conclusions. In the implementation phase of the various initiatives developer support on a full time and part time basis will be required. Having your PPCZone Project entry up to date indicating your availablity, resume and activity/projects will further your opportunity around the PegasosPPC and the ODW.
With the Avalanche Desktop Reference Project extending from Debian to soon also include Gentoo, OpenSolaris and a new MySQL Initiative, the announcement of the Freescale and China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) National Linux Systems Development Lab, the soon-to-be officially confirmed Genesi/MIT Open Course Ware satellite Internet delivery pilot, ConnectEE, and finally the new Mobile MorphOS effort, the potential
for PegasosPPC/ODW related consulting and employment opportunities are growing. Please get your PPCZone Project pages updated!
For information concerning your account or to establish an account please contact the webmaster. Thanks!" (snx)

individual Computers: Big news-update
Catweasel MK4 now shipping
Shipping of the Catweasel MK4 has started exactly one month ago. We have now filled all back-orders and want to say thank you for the trust and the patience that our customers have shown. The new delay was caused by the transition to a lead-free production process. We have now solved all problems that arose with this transition, and are now perfectly prepared for the new laws that become effective in 2006.
MMC64 production finished
The same lead-free production process was used for the assembly of MMC64, the flashcard-based mass storage unit developed by Oliver Achten. Shipping of this product has started on Friday March 4th, 2005. We're now taking orders through our contact form, or through e-mail. The price per unit is 49,- EUR.
New Deathbed Vigil DVDs arrived
The film by Dave Haynie about the last days of Commodore experiences constant demand, so we have imported new DVDs. German customs have released the parcel on March 4th, 2005, so we can now ship the DVDs in the free market of the European Union. Due to the strong EUR currency, we were able to lower the price to 34.90 EUR each. The film is recorded on DVD-R media, and we have chosen the PAL version for the European market. Dave has not only signed the inlays, but also the discs this time, so collectors get two original autographs with every order!
New software for Catweasel MK4
Unfortunately, the Windows operating system kept some surprises for us that we could not account for during the beta test. Some customers could not even install the drivers, and others have reported errors with no obvious reasons. The new driver can be used for both the Catweasel MK3 and MK4, and it fixes all known problems.
Download: CWMK40107.zip (68 KByte)
The driver can be used with Windows 2000 and Windows XP (all versions). Please remove all elements of the old driver manually before installing (this is described in the readme file of the archive). Users of Windows 2000 should check if they need to install update 822831, otherwise the driver can still not be installed.
Catweasel MK4 drivers for classic Amiga are also available now: The new version of multidisk V3.65 uses OpenPCI to access the controller through the Prometheus PCI bridge. Other PCI bridges that are suppored by OpenPCI have not been tested, so we can't guarantee proper function.

individual Computers at events
We're especially happy to announce that we're sponsoring the scene-event Breakpoint again this year. Breakpoint takes place at Easter, following the tradition of the famous Mekka&Symposium parties. A new location will be used this year, and it will break more records: We're especially looking forward to the biggest "bigscreen" that has ever been used on a demo-party, and the seminars that are introdced for the first time this year.
AmiTron 2005 will take place on April 2nd, 2005 in Trondheim, Norway. The main point of interest for this small show is Amiga computers ranging from the oldest A1000 to the brand new micro-A1, but due to popular request, we'll do demonstrations of our retro-computing products as well, such as using a Commodore 64 as a web-server.

Strategy game: News from "Schlachtfeld"
There are some news of the strategy game called "Schlachtfeld":
Dennis "Psyria" Lohr has agreed to make available his Schlachtfeld title theme for
Phase II as well and to write some other tracks for the game if it is necessary.
Besides this somebody has been found who creates a new background graphic for
Schlachtfeld Phase II. You can find a preview under the title link. If you have
suggestions for other background graphics please contact Horst Diebel via e-mail.
Those models which were designed by Edgar Leidig will probably not be used in
Phase II. But the basic structures are kept and will be still improved so the
units may be used in a Phase III.
During the next days there will be updates on the Schlachtfeld website.
