Image editor: Pixel32 for MorphOS announced
Pavel Kanzelsberger, author of Pixel32, announces under the title link a port for MorphOS, to be presented in a few weeks. Pixel32 is an image/photo/animation painting/editing and retouching application usable for all kind of graphicians, but best for web designers (screenshot).

Some of its features:
  • multiplatform design with own skinnable GUI, which allows us running Pixel32 in Windows, BeOS and even in DOS
  • most of routines written in highly optimized 32-bit assembler decreasing program's size and increasing its speed
  • plugin architecture allows adding new effects, import/export plugins but also new dynamic brushes (called BrushFX), layer types etc.
  • supporting all popular file formats
  • support for layers, channels, masks, selections
  • support for animations, image clickmaps, slices, web optimizations and other webtools simplyfing your work
  • variety of brushes, including animated and full color brushes
  • variety of patterns allowing pattern-painting, texturizing and more
  • variety of color/alpha gradients with universal usage
  • templates, styles, layouts...
  • and much more...
Currently, as a Christmas present, Pixel32 can be purchased for USD 20 until end of the year. If one registers now, all updates until next major release (v2.0) will be free. Furthermore, the registration is platform independent, so that one can use his license also with upcoming ports to other operating systems.

There are demo versions of the current version 1.0 RC2 for Windows, Linux and BeOS/Zeta as well as of version 0.99.8 also for QNX, Solaris and MS-DOS. In these demo versions there are only two limitations: a visible watermark in the images and a small annoying dialog box informing about the usage of a demo version. (snx)

PegXMac V1.3 also finished for AmigaOne
David Bentham has a Christmas surprise for all AmigaOne users: His live-CD PegXMac is now available in version 1.3 also for this platform. PegXMac allows starting Mac OS with the help of Mac-on-Linux without installing Linux before.

The AmigaOne version was tested by Sinan Gürkan and Ross Vumbaca and is equivalent to the Pegasos II version except the use of MOL 0.9.70+. On the AmigaOne only MOL 0.9.68 runs because it is not an Open Firmware platform and therefore newer MOL versions need specific adaptations. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.3.5
Christian Rosentreter announces that the new version of OpenTTD (which is an Open Source clone of the well-known strategy game Transport Tycoon Deluxe) has been finished and with it he wishes all MorphOS- and Amiga-users a Merry Christmas.

Important changes:
  • [Network] New network, very stable, a lot of new features
  • [Network] Ingame Serverlist (with online game-servers to join
  • [Network] Webbased Serverlist: http://servers.openttd.org/
  • [Network] Added dedicated server support
  • [Network] Cheat protection in MultiPlayer
  • [Network] Patch settings are also synced with the server
  • [Network] Chat
  • Custom currency settings
  • Per-station vehicle lists
  • More realistically sized catchment areas
  • Sticky windows
  • Even better support for new grf-files
  • Implement improved vehicle loading algorithm
  • Even more advanced in-game console (press ^ to open it)
  • OpenTTD runs with the grf files of the DOS version
  • [Big Endian Systems (MacOS, MorphOS, LinuxPPC)]: are able to load savegames by TTD(Patch)
  • new languages: Spanish, Catalan and Icelandic
  • And many, many more things....
If you want to know the complete list of changes then have a look at ChangeLog which the archive contains. The archive can be downloaded under the title link.

Comments:
  • Currently the "Dedicated Server"-support (OpenTTD -D) does not work with Amiga TCP/IP-stacks. But the game itself can create a normal server. Games between Windows, Linux, MacOS and MorphOS are possible without any problems.
  • The Amiga68k-support in the source code possibly is not working because of the many changes. Christian Rosentreter (karibu@gmx.net) himself cannot test the new code under 68k and therefore he asks for feedback and diff-files to be able to fix existing problems in the new network code.

Update of Hollywood Game TriMa'gic
The Hollywood game TriMa'gic has reached version 1.0 for 68k, WarpUp and MorphOS; the wishes of Tristan Mangold (TriMa) have been realized.

New developments are that sounds have been added, one can right-click to turn in the other direction as well, and because someone who preferred it asked for it, the game may be skinned to the darker original version. It comes with both skins. To do this some bugs with the ring-selection were overcome.

Along with the main page (under the title-link) there's a mirror.

The author thanks Tristan Mangold for his game skin, his idea and the suggestions for improvement and wishes everyone a happy celebration and a great New Year. (snx) (Translation: dm)

New PowerPC Products for the Classic Amiga (update)
ACK Software Controls, Inc. is pleased to announce two new products for the Amiga 1200. The first product is a Freescale 8245 based CPU card clocked at 400 MHz.

The card will have a SODIMM slot for memory expansion and also includes a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller and a Radeon Mobility graphics chip. This CPU card will fit in standard A1200 cases, but a towered system is recommended.

The second product is a modular busboard and CPU combination for use with towered A1200 machines. The bus board features an AGP 1X slot and three PCI slots. Additional features of the busboard include two DDR DIMM slots for memory expansion, a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller, onboard USB and ethernet. The CPU card will initially be a 750CXe product, but other CPUs will be available.

Both products will ship with an OEM version of AmigaOS 4 and contain a version of U-Boot as the firmware. Products are presently in prototype form running Linux and will be available in Q1 2005. Additional information will follow in the new year.

Sincerely,

Adam Kowalczyk
ACK Software Controls, Inc.

Update: (24.12.04, 2:30, cg)

In a thread on amiga.org, Adam Kowalczyk states that similar expansions are in the works as well. (cg) (Translation: cg)

WinUAE 1.0 public beta #3, Remarks on Postscript Printing
With version 0.9.92 the WinUAE Team is possibly releasing the last beta-version before the final release 1.0. Whoever is able to locate bugs is asked to advise the authors.

There is now better online help that explains about printing and the "autoflush" function more clearly.

Changes in WinUAE 0.9.92:

Bug fixes:
  • Regular HDF TD_GEOMETRY returned incorrect data (caused some larger HDF's fail to mount, 0.9.91 only)
  • Filesystem bug fix (0.9.90-91), files with Windows System or Hidden -flag set didn't open properly in all cases
  • Stardust starwars-scroller in cycle-exact mode
  • SuperStardust AGA tunnel-section and Superfrog intro bee flashing plus other sprite emulation fixes
  • Random disk formatting verify errors when using non-turbo mode (was broken couple of releases ago)
  • Display corruption/crashes if display width was larger than 1024 and display depth was 32bit (only native display mode, Picasso96 was unaffected)
  • Windowed mode window close button didn't work if "Use CTRL+F11 to quit" was enabled
  • Input-panel autofire yes/no-selection
  • AVIOutput video recording bug in interlaced modes

New features:
  • Filesystem emulation now uses NTFS named streams to store Amiga FS protection flags and comment instead of __UAEFSDB.__-files (non-NTFS drives still use old method)
  • Postscript printer emulation using Ghostscript. All Windows supported printers work now. Amiga-side only needs standard Amiga Postscript printer driver
  • Automatic print job flush after user configurable timeout
  • Improved hardfile creation, filesystem selection (OFS/FFS/SFS) etc.
  • Disk swapper key shortcuts:
    • END+1-0 (not numeric keypad) = insert image from swapper slot 1-10
    • END+SHIFT+1-0 = insert image from swapper slot 11-20
    • END+CTRL+1-4 = select drive

  • GUI drag'n'drop (no more ugly up/down arrows)
  • Screenshots are now named _xxx.bmp
  • User configurable emulation speed adjustment from 5 to 100 fps
  • Rar and 7zip -archive support (using archiveaccess.dll)
  • Some custom chipset emulation improvements here and there
  • Improved drive click sound emulation
  • X-Arcade build-in key mappings
  • Onscreen disk and HD leds flash red while writing
  • "Always on top"-windowed mode setting

MorphOS: System patch "Zapper"
"Zapper" modifies the ZipWindow() function of the intuition.library, i.e. the behaviour of the "Zoom" gadget at the top right border of a window. Instead of switching between two different window sizes, it resizes the window to full screen by click now. If the title bar is enabled that will be kept free.

Zapper also may be used in "Smart Resizing" mode which resizes windows only on the not already used screen area and does not hide other windows.

Amiforce/Abakus-Design: Seasonig greetings and Snowman (Classic)
With Snowman (Classic) a tiny Christmas game is available at Abakus-Design. Unfortunately an entire new game was due lack of time not possible and the same reason lead to only minor changes to the game:

The game is running in 800x600 with any colour depth. Also on classic Amigas it should run without problems. Some new figures were pixeled which are now on wood plates. Thus, the game comes closer to the C64 original version. The archive is about 10 MB in size.

Last but not least Telemar Rosenberger and Franz Schlick wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2005. (cg) (Translation: ub)

MP3 player: AmigaAMP 2.13
Thomas Wenzel writes:

"Just on time for Christmas there is an update for AmigaAMP. It is nothing world moving; I just fixed some bugs. New features aren't there, but code maintaining is better than nothing, I guess.

For example the old version 2.12 messed badly around with several state messages of the mpega.library which are not used by the original, but are by the libmad version. Directories containing brackets in their name could not be added to the playlist, etc.

All that and some other smaller bugs are now fixed and the program gained further stability.

Enjoy it" (cg) (Translation: ub)

Robin Hood coming for MorphOS
"Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood", originally developed by Spellbound Entertainment for the PC, will soon continue his adventures on the Pegasos. The MorphOS version of Robin Hood has just reached "first playable" on the Pegasos. A demo version will be released soon and the game is expected to start shipping in QI/2005 for MorphOS.

About "Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood":

Do not only take on the role of the hero Robin Hood, but also the roles of his faithful vassals and take them to the battle field against the nasty Prince John Lackland. In doing so you are able to enjoy the fabulous English landscape of 1190 as well as the giant castles and funny characters. The thrilling story is introduced by an award-winning introduction and transfers you directly into the hero\s body with the first mission, in which you have to set the captive comrades free. Take up the battle against the oppressors and free the farmers from the Prince\s reign! Be smart, be fast! Be Robin Hood!

Features:
  • More than 30 non-linear missions in which, for instance, you have to save Little John and Brother Tuck and prevent a wedding between Marianne and the revolting Guy of Gisbourne or attack the taxation collectors of the Sheriff of Nottingham
  • Visit five giant castles on different ways, at day and night times, and at different weather conditions
  • Play with up to nine integrated characters being outstanding due to their specific abilities and qualities
  • Due to an innovative fighting system you are able to control the hero\s sword in battles by mouse
  • Decide yourself which tactic appears to be the right one for you: reach the goal by creeping around the guards or fight bravely using sword and bow
System requirements:
  • Pegasos I/II at 600 MHz or better
  • 128 MB RAM
  • Radeon 7000 or better
  • MorphOS 1.4.x

Non-Linear Video Editing System for MorphOS
The archive "MSchnitt-Mos.lha" contains four programs that together comprise a non-linear video editing system. It's written fully in ARexx and requires the following programs be installed:
  • ARexx
  • MPlayer (>1.0)
  • Mencoder
  • ogmtools-1.4.1-morphos (ogmmerge)
  • mkvtoolnix-0.9.1-morphos (mkvmerge)
  • fxPAINT (2.0+)
Features:
  • Video edit
  • Add new sound
  • Convert video formats
  • Sound processing
  • Sound edit
  • Merging of video clips to create a larger
  • Video titling
  • FX-effects
  • Merging of sound clips to create a larger
  • Encoding of single frames
  • Decoding of single frames
  • Support of multitrack videos in Ogg Mediastream or Matroska Media-Vision
The following link points to a demo video illustrating features of the MSchnitt package: http://pegasossoft.de/Movie.avi (3 MB)

A side effect of MSchnitt is the manipulation of multitrack videos. These are videos with more than one video or audio track. Here's a demo clip: http://pegasossoft.de/Movie_kopergeschuetzt.mkv (3 MB).

These clips can only be played with the newest MPlayer version, because they make use of the Matroska format. Whoever has no knowledge of MPlayer will only see the copy-protected video, and not the other stuff.

Unfortunately I haven't written any instructions, because that too would be a bit much for me. But whoever seriously wants to use the package can send me an e-mail and I'll write back right away.

Feelin: version 08.00 released
Feelin, an object orientated system for AmigaOS (screenshot), is now available as version 08.00. The system comes in towo parts: the feelin.library written completely in assembler as core and an expandable system to create graphical user interfaces.

Though several classes developed to create graphical user interfaces come with Feelin, it is not restricted to this.

The latest enhancements are among other things:
  • XML file support to develop applications. These so called XMLapplications can be created "on the fly" including support for notify, object export, data import, etc
  • The preferences and particularly the update mechanism were written completely new and many pop classes were added (especially the awaited FC_PopFont class) as well as several preference groups were improved
  • Servers aren't supported anymore but replaced by shared objects (FC_AppServer is now a shared object)

Hollywood game: TriMa'gic
Under the title link you can find a small Workbench game written with Hollywood by Robin Hueskes "similar to Logical but completely different". The principle of TriMa'gic is to remove all pieces of the same colour from the board. The game is available for AmigaOS 3.x, MorphOS and WarpOS. (snx) (Translation: wk)
