`17.Nov.2002` BTTR-Team (E-Mail)	Back to the Roots: New games, a.o.t. Karate Kid 2 and scans With permission of the copyright owners, Back to the Roots puts up original Amiga games for download and furthermore offers freeware games, demos, musical pieces, scans of game packages etc. In the current newsletter, Back to the Roots are reporting about new items on the site. In particular, sports games have been added: "Now that the summer here is over, we have prepared a couple of sports events to test your physical shape. Get down to it: Arms and legs are being exercised with 'Shadow Fighter' and 'Karate Kid 2'. Thanks to 'Empire Soccer', football skills can be proven. If you want to show us how skilful you can handle a motorbike, 'Super Hang On' is just the thing. Btw, thanks to permission of Tynesoft, you can start in a whole lot of different disciplines with 'Summer Olympiad' and 'Buffalo Bill's Rodeo Games'. And to avoid the mind rusting in with all those muscle games, we have provided you with 'K240', 'Millenium 2.2' and lots of other games. Something really extraordinary awaits you with 'Exile'. Here you take on the identity of a fully trained astronaut. And for phasing out after all this sport the cute 'Tearaway Thomas' is presenting himself, with whom you will be faster on the way than with Sonic. This update also contains scans of mostly rare game packaging (e.g. Quik and Silva, or XR35), as well as two articles about the Amiga demo groups Ephidrena and Loonies! Games, demos, music and more. What else do you want? Just have a look into 'Back to the Roots'." (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 17. Nov. 2002, 23:02] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`17.Nov.2002` ANN	Text viewer: EvenMore V0.60 On 15th November 2002, version 0.60 of the text viewer 'EvenMore' has been released. In this version the plugin system for the EvenMore preferences has been updated. Chris Perver writes: "The new plugin system will allow users to create user settings in the preference window for their own plugins. EvenMore automatically loads and saves the plugin settings whenever the main settings are loaded or saved. This will allow more complicated plugins to be created. An example of this plugin has been created for the Generic2Text plugin, to allow you to open a binary file in readable or hexadecimal view. The other plugins have had to be updated to support a change in the plugin system and in the EvenMore executable." Various plugins are available for download on the plugin subpage of the EvenMore home page.

`16.Nov.2002` AMIGAplus	GoldED Studio AIX: service pack 3 For the allround text editor GoldED Studio AIX is since yesterday the service pack 3 available for registered users. The most important new feature is the integration of the gcc compiler. This complete software package is needed for the C/C++ development with GNU C. Via GED is the programming environment integrated within minutes into the editor using a comfortable setup program. Because of the huge size of gcc is this update only deliverable as a replacement CD: since the last version have 67 MB just in form of data been added. The costs are 10.- Euro.

`14.Nov.2002` Gunnar Bernhardt (ANF)	Emulator: WinUAE version 0.8.22 R2 released Today the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released in version 0.8.22 R2 by Toni Wilen. New features: Kickstart 1.3 RDB and regular hardfile autoboot/automount support. KS 1.3 regular (non-RDB) HDF autoboot requires FastFileSystem from WB1.3:L in KS roms-directory.

`14.Nov.2002` T.o.T. (email)	Game: Tales of Tamar - New Amiga version 0.46 Version 0.46 is the first official (and of course free) update for Tales of Tamar. As promised, we'll keep improving and expanding the game. Since the release of the CD version, quite a few things have happened: New features: Title screen reconverted. Antialiasing improved Diplomacy: Personal messages can be sent and received Cheat protection for ARMY, SHIP and MOVE chunk Fonts have been reworked by Damaso Dominguez Spanish characters are now shown correctly ToT is now running on MorphOS for Amiga and Pegasos new BardsTale stories Ruines added new map images for town level 2 to 4 CGX V5 is now recognized Bugfixes: first level town had incorrect number of inhabitants plundered trade ships left their loaded figure in the water. Fixed loss of capital caused problems fallback mode for screen mode rewritten output in FTP routine and diplomacy removed Bugfix in chunkmachine Bugfixes in stringinput Bugfixes in TaverneOfflineChat resources display under AGA fixed some bugfixes relating to ships repair routines for ship building screen updated gotcha changed from hardware to software fadein and fadeout is in software on the Pegasos now CGX V5 check MorphOS is now detected correctly BardsTale now completely in German available We'd like to discuss three things in particular: First is the new option to send "intime" messages directly to another player. The feature allows you to act completely undetected, you don't have to use a secondary email account to exchange messages without a third party noticing. A quite useful addition. Next is the addition of ruins and different town levels on the map. Before, all towns had the same image, the one of a small village. From now on, abandoned towns will show as ruins and the image of a town will adapt to its size. Major towns will be visible as such to everyone. The whole system can be extended as far as adapting the land around a town. The bigger your town becomes, the more settlement and small buildings will appear in the surrounding lands. You may see small farms, picturesque houses by small lakes, or hunters hideouts. Your land can change every turn. The possibilities are only limited by the capacity of the server and the number of players. The more players, the more possibilities :-) Last but not least, we would like to thank some people for helping us bringing Tales of Tamar to MorphOS. First would be Ralph Schmidt, who really helped and just talked like other people. And Frank Mariak, whose fixes to CyberGFX V5 made it possible for Tales to be adapted. Thank you to both of them! Tales of Tamar is now running on MorphOS for Amiga and Pegasos. It benefits from the WarpUP emulation in MorphOS, which seems to be even faster than the original. Since Tales of Tamar is a mixed binary, the PPC routines work under MorphOS as well. Animations are even faster there. We will keep adapting more features to MorphOS in the future.
