Amiga Arena: interview with Michael Lanser (Realms of Power)
Olaf Köbnik wrote:
Michael Lanser is developing already for some months a Civilization clone for our Amiga with the name "Realms of Power".
We wanted to know the current developing state of "Realms of Power" and talked to the developer Michael Lanser about his project.
The interview is available in German
and English.
Amiga Arena - Back in business!
The basic design has been finished and further rubrics are now following.
For the time being some software titles are not accessible.
But I may already tell you that with the opening of the download area further new programs will be released. I want to thank you for your patience and hope that you will remain loyal to the Amiga Arena!

Since today is the interview with Petra Struck

Download: interview_amiganews.mp3 - 6,15 MB
Sorry for the not so good sound quality but as the interview has a lenght of around 20 minutes
and I wanted to make it available to as many users as possible I had shrunk the file to the end lenght of appr. 6.15 MB (40 kb/s).
Soon there'll be a CD released containing an exhibition video and the interview in word and picture (I'm just doing the video cut). On the CD may be a little surprise (if the timing's good) - no more words about it right now. As soon as the CD's finished I'll tell you right here. Enjoy!

Thorsten Schölzel

Thorsten Schölzel: "The current design of the CD³²/CDTV-Corner is old-fashioned. With the
new design we want to present the sites more clearly and professionally.
Above all because it is the biggest homepage on the Internet which is for CD³² and CDTV.
I especially want to point out that the CD³²-Alliance is a non-profit business.
We invest our time and money. But we enjoy it otherwise we would not do it."

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.

amiga-news.de: New Glossary
Under the title link you will find a newly formulated glossary, which is based on the old Internet-ABC. In order to tend the slogan designations better, Sven Drieling has put together a small databank that allows cross-connections to be made.
Whoever has suggestions for further concepts can send them in an email to Petra Struck or enter them here in the commentary function - if at all possible, with an understandable description of the keyword.
The glossary has been reachable for some time through the upper menu in the last row, in the second spot. The link had to be led through to the guestbook, which is also reachable through the footer. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Filesharing: DirectConnect Client for AmigaOS
Diego 'DCR8520' Casorran has ported DCTC ("DirectConnect Text Client") to the Amiga (see also today's report).
DCTC is a text-based client for the file-sharing network "Direct
Connect". An early beta version of Amiga-DCTC is ready for download.
Diego needs beta testers to support him in debugging the program.
More information about DC (DirectConnect) may be found on the website of the manufacturer publisher's website for the Windows version. Diego shows how one may get the initial results with DCTC. First you need a list of all usable HUBs:
run: hublist >ram:HubList
Each line of the list looks like this:
[DK]Moviezone©|moviezone.dyndns.dk|Min 60 GB. [MZ-Group]|507|||||
Next you pick out a HUB (in the above example "moviezone.dyndns.dk"),
additionally you must select a pseudonym and put in your IP Address (it should work with these minimal entries):
dctc --nick=YOURNICK -a=YourHost/IP --hubip=moviezone.dyndns.dk
If everything works, you'll now be connected to the HUB and the HUB will show a few bits of information (read it!) and now you may begin to send orders to the hub.
HINT: You might be banned for the HUB, when your combination of "Connection" and "Shared Bytes" is not meeting the standard. In such a case you should use the command "/CNX T3" to set the server to a higher connection speed ("Connection") or "/OFFSET 1234567890" to raise the "Shared Bytes" (the amount of the data you are offering).
Please BE SURE to read the supplementary documentation, and let us know your experiences with it.
Direct download: dctc-0.84.1.lha
[HINT: DCTC was unavailable on the master server (title link). The link for the direct download may in that case be accessed via a mirror]. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Whoever wants to help must sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement =
silence stipulation) at Amiga Inc. Other requirements are an Amiga with AmigaOS 3.9 and Boing Bag #2 installed, and a PGP key of at least version 2.6.3 (or compatible).
Interested people should send an email to the coordinator,

Thomas Richter in c.s.a.p.: Further Developers Needed
Thomas Richter writes in the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmer:
As you may or may not know, my Amiga "died" a few months ago and I decided to shelve all support for my Amiga software, starting with DiskSafe and ending with MuLib Packet. A new Maintainer must also be found, one who is interested in further developing all or part of my software. The terms are that the software must continue to be publicly available on terms simlar to the ones that I've established.
I will NOT agree, to release this stuff under GPL or LGPL.
The skills needed are C (ANSI-C) Programming for one half of the projects and advanced Motorola 68k Assembler for the other.
Additionally needed (naturally) an Amiga and a C-Compiler, possibly SAS/C, because the projects are based on this. And Motorola-Assembler, possibly the DevPac, because I used a lot of notes with the macro-functions. The
PhxAss is not sufficient for most Assembler-based projects.
The "earliest works" (not the MuLib Packet of course) are documented in German (...).
The sources are completely backed up and available and usable, because I was always a bit concerned about backups, and rightly so. Please send inquiries to my normal email address:
thor@math.tu-berlin.de.
So long and see you later!
Cordially,
Thomas

TV card software: AmithlonTV Beta 251
Guido Mersmann has released beta version 251 of the TV-Card driver
software AmithlonTV. New in this version:
- BUGFIX:
Many small changes. Nothing realy important.
- FEATURE:
Well, not realy a feature. There is a new debug setup window for the msp sound chip.
You are only able to open it, if your card is using such chip.
The usage is very simple! Start AmithlonTV and select a TV picture. Make sure that
your audio mixer is not muted and the volume is at maximum. Now use the debug menu
and open the msp debug window. There are three cycle gadgets. Start with first one.
Cycle it. If you hear any sound, than report the gadget status and make a TVCardDump.

File manager: DiskMaster beta version 2.5RC9
Rudolph Riedel today published the beta version 2.5RC9 of his file
manager. The download is available at the title link. The following
details are changed:
- 2.5RC9 needs new locales as we needed to expand it by one string!
a) Copy the new DM2.catalog for your language.
b) Quit your older DM2 version.
c) Run "avail flush" from a shell to remove DM2.catalog from memory.
d) Start current DM2 version.
- The reason for not just making the new catalog a V2 is that
all 2.5xxx versions are only steps to 2.5 final.
- And some translators haven't answered my request to confirm the changes

Game: Tales of Tamar - Amiga Public Update V0.48R1
Dear players,
it is our pleasure to announce the third official update to the Amiga
version.
New features in V0.48 R1:
- rebellion of town added
- new town anims
- executables are now crunched (Bitmap-Brothers- or Team17-Style :-))
- improved memory management in SetPeople, BlitFigur and Motion, flickering
- start anim fixed
- Residencedownload now goes offline immediately after downloading the turn
and before decoding it
- ResidenceUpload shows more progress information
Bugfixes in V0.48 R1:
- hardware check bug with MorphOS/Pegasos fixed
- memory for CloseAllPattern is properly freed now
- bugfix with loading/unloading units
- slider in report screen activated
- training of armies with more than one part didn't create a figure. fixed
- towns at the worlds turning point can have ports now
- if the capital was lost and thus the town with ID 0 disappeared, Bardstale
and diplomacy created a new town with Id 0
- SMTP Auth problem with some servers fixed
- If two or more towns were founded at the same time, names could be messed up
A word about rebellions:
Rebellions are a way of stopping players growing uncontrollably. From a
certain size of a realm onwards you need to have town guards or risk that
town
rebelling against you. A rebelling town can no longer be controlled. You
need to send
a big enough army to restore order. Rebelling towns are also easier to
take
over for other players of course.
Soon, there will be another update that will introduce the option of
taking
vassals. This makes it possible to extend your power even further and
ascend
through the ranks towards emperor. Unfortunately, the test phase of this
feature is not completed yet.
The current version should also please users of a Pegasos and MorphOS.
There
had been a problem with registration but this is now fixed.
What else is going on around Tales of Tamar? Quite a lot, actually...
First and foremost, we would like to thank AmigaFuture [a German Amiga
print
magazine] for the new "Messenger from Tamar" feature. It appears in every
issue and reports the current events on Tamar. Georg Breitsprecher sums up
updates, events, tips and tricks and rank lists. We are very pleased about
this
co-operation with this magazine.
We were also reviewed in the current issue of AmigaPlus [another German
magazine]. In the four page long report, we received 6 out of 6 points. A
very
gratifying result. Thanks to Nico Barbat and the team.
We would also like to thank the Amiga community for the award as Game Of
The
Year 2002, which was also hosted by AmigaPlus. Even if the sales don't
show
it yet, the still active Amiga users show us that it is still worthwhile
to
support the market. We know that there are more active users out there and
we
hope to convince some of you to buy this game as well :-)
Meanwhile the PC version is progressing equally well. We recently received
an offer from Vivendi Universal, which is a real honor for us. Vivendi
Universal is a publisher of high-quality games, the whole line of Blizzard
games,
for example.
Last but not least, we would like to point to another event. On February
28th 2003, the third Tales of Tamar con will take place at castle
Hessenstein.
This time, we will take it slow and just celebrate in a dignified way.
Unfortunately, the event is booked out completely already, but we will
report from
it.
Until the next update, we remain,
with best regards and saying "Amiga forever"
Wolfen & the ToT-Team (ps)

C-One is not delivered yet

Against the statements of some persons the C-One is not delivered yet.
According to Jens Schönefeld the board was not yet sufficiently and completely tested and therefore it will not
be delivered before these tests will be finished. An exact date for the release date
is not certain.

AmigaTalk V2.3 uploaded to Aminet
The latest and greatest version of AmigaTalk (V2.3) has been uploaded to Aminet.
The most significant change is the addition of catalogued language support
to the main program. Please send me any translations that you develop for
inclusion into later versions of the program, thanx, Jim Steichen, author of
AmigaTalk.
For version 2.3 the following enhancements/bug fixes were made:
- Added catalog support for the program (now, send me your
translation files!)
- Added Layers.st to the Intuition/ directory to support
using layers.library (why anyone would want to put themselves
through the torture of using layers is beyond me).
- Fixed some bugs in GadTools.st so that the test files now run
correctly.
- Added ARexx.st to the System/ directory.
- Added MsgPort.st to the System/ directory.
