Preview video: Twin-Stick shooter "Rogue Declan: Zero"
Nivrig Games - among others Turbo Santa Deluxe Edition 2022 - have been working for some time on a twin-stick shooter, which he assigns to the rogue-like genre and for which he has now published a first early preview video.

The game is also said to be a test game for the twin-stick controller developed by "Abstraction Games" (amiga-news.de reported). "Rogue Declan: Zero" will have control options that also support a CD32 controller where you use the D-pad for movement and the buttons for shooting in another direction. (dr)

Installer replacement: InstallerLG 1.0.2 for AROS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS
Ola 'sodero' Söder's InstallerLG is a reimplementation of the "Installer"! utility included with AmigaOS as of version 2.1. InstallerLG aims to be fully compatible with the original as described in the V44.10 documentation. Most resource limitations found in the Commodore implementation are gone, and the GUI has been replaced by a MUI / Zune based one.

In contrast to the original AmigaOS implementation, the "effect" statement is treated by InstallerLG like any other statement. This means that it is possible to change effect during the installation. The "database" function supports a new attribute, 'os', which enables scripts to recognise the operating system without the guesswork of many multi-platform installers.
As the author goes on to write, InstallerLG is compatible with the latest installer for AmigaOS 3 and it has functions that are not available in the AmigaOS 4 installer, for example "effect", "reboot", "back", "trace", "retrace" and many more. (dr)

Hyperion Entertainment released AmigaOS 3.2.2
Press release Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is proud to provide the second free update of AmigaOS 3.2.

This new update demonstrates the developers' continued dedication to ensure that AmigaOS 3.2 is the most capable and most stable operating system ever for 68K based Amigas.

If you do not already own a copy of AmigaOS 3.2, there is now even more reason to get one from your favourite dealer!

The team of developers and testers have worked tirelessly ever since the release of AmigaOS 3.2.1 on fixing bugs and implementing a number of new features.

The highlights of the new features and fixes of AmigaOS 3.2.2 are as follows:
  • TextEdit has seen several improvements to its extension interface, and has gained an "About" menu item;
  • "Showconfig" now shows 68060 revision;
  • "IconEdit" now notifies the user if someone else modifies the icon file that is being edited. And pressing the help key brings up help. The whole color handling of colorful icons has been improved so icons can no longer degrade. Users may end up in a situation wherein it will look worse than on a perfect display, but it will not degrade the icon. As such the dreaded "downgrade" dialog doesn't happen anymore, but in some cases "IconEdit" will open on a separate screen
  • "Kickstart" can now boot with earlier Workbench and icon library versions if they are present on the boot volume. This allows for installation of the ROM whilst retaining the ability to boot any AmigaOS version from 3.1 to 3.9, before installation of AmigaOS 3.2 on a volume
  • The sketchboard.gadget has seen some speed improvements, that should be noticeable when using IconEdit
  • The listbrowser.gadget has had a complete overhaul, making the file much smaller, and a bit faster
  • The layout.gadget has had a complete overhaul
  • The window.class has had a complete overhaul
  • The RAM disk has had a complete overhaul so it is much less likely to cause issues.
  • Improved "Locale" support
  • Updated version of boards.library
Update 2 for AmigaOS 3.2 is available for download.

Hyperion wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the AmigaOS 3.x development team as well as the beta-testers for their ceaseless efforts.

If YOU want to support our efforts further, please head over to our AmigaOS merchandise store. (dr)

Web browser: AmiFox 0.2 released
AmiFox is a kind of web browser for original Amigas. Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has been reporting about its development since mid-February and after a short beta test phase version 0.2 is now generally available.

The principle of this browser is to outsource the actual rendering via WRP (Web Rendering Proxy), so that the finished rendering is sent back to the Amiga just as an image. In return, however, it is possible to display modern web pages containing CSS and Javascript. Interactions with the web page are then reported back to the server.

The underlying WRP was adapted to provide more functions and security/privacy. (snx)

Video player: Amos Video Player
The group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP", known among other things for the fantasy shooter Project Quest, which is currently in development, or the mini-game None of Us, updated their "AMOS Video Player", which has been in development since 2020, a few days ago and fixed some bugs

According to the developers, it is "a very simple video player that runs on any Amiga." The playback and encoding target is fixed at 320x256 25 fps, but changeable in the source code (2 colours up to HAM6 is possible, but then much slower). The loading time is not parallel to the playback time due to the non-optimised code, so the result is terrible on real hardware, but looks pretty good under WinUAE. Everybody is invited to play with the source code. (dr)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.9
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.9 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
  • HFE: Support reading and writing HFEv3 image files
    • For example: gw convert Game.ipf Game.hfe::version=3
    • Useful for running converted IPFs on FlashFloppy Goteks
  • MSA: Read & write Atari ST MSA image files
  • D88: Remove hard-coded track double-stepping
  • TSC Flex: Add diskdef disk definitions
  • Various bug fixes

Jump'n Run: Demo version V1.5 of "Creeping Me Out Hex Night"
Michael 'Mixel' Dawes provides another demo version of his jump'n run 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night', created with the game construction kit Scorpion Engine. This new preview is functionally the same as version 1.4 apart from a few bug fixes, but there is now a separate AGA version with some optimisations and new backgrounds and effects.

As Dawes shows with examples, the ECS version sometimes has more colours on the screen than the AGA version, which in turn makes up for this with the greater depth in the background with the full-screen parallax. You can support the developer via his Patreon page. (dr)

User report: The PiStorm32-lite, part 2
The first part of my report ended with the "BUPtest" giving an error message after switching on the Amiga 1200. When I plugged in the HDMI cable, I noticed that the large plug of the HDMI cable bent the card upwards by quite a bit. So I suspected that this might have caused contact problems.

After some research, I decided on an UltraThin HDMI cable:



This made it easy to connect the cable without much "bending":


However, the result of my efforts was sobering: after switching on, I was still greeted by the already familiar error message :( So, I kept asking around. What else could be the problem? Basically the contacts? Although they have been well protected by the Blizzard 1230 so far. Anyway, I disconnected and reconnected the PiStorm32 a few times. Try again! Error message persists!

Some users had reported that it only worked for them if the adapter card was not inserted all the way into the Trapdoor connection, but was pulled back two or three millimetres. I tried that too, but again no success. It didn't help, I had to bother Claude and Michal again. Claude offered to provide me with a test image that could be used to further isolate the problem. I accepted with thanks. I installed it, started it and what do you think? It worked!!!! There is no such thing. So it was clear: my hardware is OK!

But what was the reason then?

On his test image, Claude used the latest stable version of Emu68, while I used the nightly build that was current at the time of the test. Claude says that for normal users he would always recommend the stable version, as nightly builds do not always run stably and may also require modified firmware. And while we were pondering the reasons, he sent me a picture that lists the versions of Emu68:


Well, three guesses which version I used for testing... the one from 24 January. OK, I was unlucky, but at least I didn't do anything fundamentally wrong. And it finally worked! :)

The next step was now to set up the P96 driver, but here I would like to refer to the Setting up P96 tutorial already linked in the first part. Just a few notes on this: tutorial already linked in the first part. Just a few notes on this:


If one has only one monitor, as I do, the test button in the prefs programme "Picasso96Mode" is useless. Through the unselfish help of the user 'katzazakis', after numerous unsuccessful tests of the screen resolution, I remembered (again) that I have to change the input on the monitor from VGA to HDMI in order to be able to see the test picture. It is impossible to do this during the short display time of the test picture. Here, it is better to use the "Edit" mode, which cannot be terminated automatically but only by active action and additionally offers the options to change resolution and screen size by means of arrow keys or additional CTRL and Shift keys:


By the way, you should not be confused by the displayed refresh rates, which obviously do not represent real values. For my Philips Brilliance 241B in 16:9 format, a frequency of 60 Hz is recommended, but this is never displayed or reached in the settings programmes. I finally decided on a resolution of 960 x 540 as standard and created three colour profiles for it. Additionally, for surfing with IBrowse and the mail client YAM, the resolution 1366 x 768. The test images worked. Now reboot and finally try a new screen resolution. It worked, here they are:


I use the "HiColour" version for a start. A comparison of old and new:


In the pictures, the difference doesn't seem that big. But in real life I can only say:
Wow! Great! The efforts were worth it. After almost 30 years, I can display the Workbench in high resolution with my Amiga 1200! It's amazing! What you can't see, however, is that the RTG resolution has once again increased the speed at which windows and folders open. I must admit, it feels like a modern PC. And by the way, as you can notice in the Chip RAM display above, there are now even 2 MB available.

However, one must bear in mind that not all programmes and tools support this high-resolution display. Like Sysinfo, for example, for which I have to switch back to VGA mode on the screen - after another brief pause: has it crashed? ;) - I have to switch back to VGA mode on the screen:


To be honest, I can do rather less with such information, I need practical values. Here are a few figures for solving the respective task:

Task                    Blizzard 1230                 PiStorm32-lite

(https)

By the way, the boot time has not changed (noticeably).

Is there anything that bothers you? Yes, currently you no longer have a real-time clock in the Amiga 1200 that stores the time (which was previously provided by the Blizzard 1230). For me, the time is reset to 2016 after every boot. According to PiStorm developer Claude Schwarz, an RTC driver for the Pi is coming though (which will also require an addition to the hardware). Otherwise, further tests will show how the various programmes, tools and demos run.

Conclusion: I am thrilled! If you put the effort and the costs in relation to the benefits, I have to say quite clearly: absolute recommendation. Definitely, if you work a lot with the Workbench and programmes from the hard disk, as I do. Working at this speed and with this screen resolution is a real pleasure! (dr)

AmigaOne X5000: Why AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS tick differently
What is one of the advantages of an AmigaOne X5000? You can use AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS in parallel on it (and Linux). But what drives you crazy on a regular basis? The obviously out-of-sync clocks!

Naturally, at first one doubts one's own inability to use the two OS correctly. But if you ask around, even experienced developers feel the same way: If you set the clock correctly under AmigaOS 4 at the moment, at winter/standard time, it will show one hour later when you boot MorphOS afterwards. Conversely, after setting the correct time under MorphOS, the hour hand goes forward one hour. How?

The solution to the riddle was not only profoundly but also very helpfully led by the MorphOS developer Frank Mariak and the AmigaOS developer Olaf Barthel: As Mariak explains, "MorphOS sets the time in the RTC hardware clock to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) - just like Linux and also MacOS. Everything that is then set in the operating system in terms of times is the local time, which is derived from UTC".

AmigaOS works differently, which is due to its history, to which Olaf Barthels explains: "In 1985/1986 one could not yet look far enough into the future. The operating system interfaces for reading and setting the current system time were not designed to take time zones into account back then. So when you call up what time it is and what date is current, you always get back the "local time". When setting, it is the same (the local time is expected).

With AmigaOS4, it is assumed that the time information for files, etc. always represents the local time. The local time is then automatically changed if necessary. This time change issue has even been present in AmigaOS for a very long time (late 1980's/early 1990's)."

And Frank Mariak adds: "The problem also existed for a long time with MorphOS because of the legacy compatibility to AmigaOS, until with MorphOS 3.10 a usable, compatible way was found to store the time in UTC in the hardware, but still realise the possibility of the automatic summer/winter time change under MorphOS".

Conclusion: either you continue to set the clock manually in the future, or you use a possibility to automate this via Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. A simple but elegant option for this is the commodity Mr. Wolf: placed in the appropriate folder under Utilities and permanently integrated via WBStartup, the time is adjusted automatically when an internet connection is available. However, two things need to be taken into account:


Obviously, the network connection on the X5000 is activated a little later than the WBStartup programmes are started. Therefore, it is important to set a "DELAY", i.e. a delay of a few seconds. By the way, during testing it turned out that after the elapsed ten seconds the time was still not adjusted. When asked about this, the developer Chris Young checked this and found that in the previous version 2.1 - regardless of the delay set - at least 15 minutes had to elapse. However, this has been fixed in version 2.2, which he has just released, and the delay entered does indeed take effect in this way.

Secondly, it is important that the time is not stored in the hardware. Otherwise you will have the problem of the shifted time again. Therefore, only set "SAVE=SYSTEM". (dr)

Paint program: Multipaint 2023 for Windows/Linux/Mac
Multipaint is designed to be able to draw pictures with the colour limitations of some typical 8-bit and 16-bit computer platforms. In the now released version 2023, the Amiga mode is now also an official part of the painting programme (see also the corresponding blog entry on this):

n Amiga screen with variable size and 2-32 colours, adjustable palette with 16 levels each for red, green and blue. Multipaint can only handle larger bitmaps to a limited extent, so it is recommended to limit the size to the usual resolutions, e.g. 320 x 200 or 320 x 256. There is an export for IFF files that can be loaded e.g. in Deluxe Paint, but currently no IFF import. (dr)

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine V2023.0
The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'earok' Hogan allows you to develop games. The engine itself is closed source, all demos and example games are open source. The editor runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, levels created by using the editor Tiled eingesetzt. For importing and creating sounds, music and animations the Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.

A few moments ago he has relesaed version 2023.0 (YouTube video). Changes:
  • Major performance optimisations make this by far the fastest release of the Scorpion Engine to date.
  • New features like "maskless blit" and draw clipping, and the new "Big Ship" demo shows how these can be used to render massive actors with relatively minimal performance overhead.
  • New "line of sight" demo shows how an enemy can be made to chase the player only if there's no walls between them.
  • Filters in the editor allow you to quickly search through long lists of actors, animation, code and blocks.
  • Powerful new randomizer based on the XORSHIFT* algorithm.
  • Improvement for the "foreach" command, actors can be filtered by more than just the type of actor.
  • Channels can now be reserved specifically for music or SFX.
  • Various other fixes and improvements.
You can support the developer on his Patreon website. (dr)

Video: "Tunnel" animation recovered
As an user reports on his YouTube channel "Elpis Is Hope", he happened to have in his old CD backups an old "tunnel" animation that he had originally created for the advertising agency "Propaganda".
It is a low-resolution HAM8-ANIM8 format recorded directly from his old A4000 onto a VHS tape. He said that the playback in the video was not smooth because he did not have time to properly record and time the 50/60 fps conversion. (dr)

Do it yourself: Another solution for using an external HDMI upscaler
At the title link, 'c0pperdragon' describes ways to achieve pixel-precise HDMI output of Amiga video signals instead of upconverting the final analog output signal. Besides solutions that move the RGBtoHDMI system completely into the computer, internal modifications make it possible to connect the former alternately to several computers.

One possibility for this is an adapter board that is placed under the Denise chip (amiga-news.de reported). In the meantime, a second variant was added: With the DB23 hack, eight less used of the 23 pins of the Amiga video connector are re-purposed by re-soldering, to make all 12 color bits directly available without changing anything on the case. Using an adapted cable with the required pinout, the RGBtoHDMI system, that can thus be connected externally, can then upscale the picture with comparatively lower latency. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 8
Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported).

Yesterday he has released the eighth beta version with the following changes:
  • Added internal pthreads library
  • Added new missing math functions
  • Added dprintf
  • Fixed a memory leak when using posix_memalign
  • Some constructors/destructors changes
  • Fixed ncurses/termios problems. Now ncurses can be used without any problem
  • Added stdio_ext functions (except __freadptr)
  • Some test progams makefile changes. Now it is possible to compile tests using GNUMakefile
  • Many other internal changes

Puzzle game: Connect 1.2
In the puzzle game "Connect" (screenshots), you have to connect a series of ICs in such a way that each chip receives exactly the number of connections printed on its package. Developer Frank Röger has written about the now released version 1.2:

"Our visit to the Amiga Wintertreffen (Germany) brought some fun as well as some insights: Connect still has some minor bugs.

For example, we found that on a Recalbox (Raspberry Pi + emulation) Connect runs rather suboptimal. The problem is that the game controllers support more than one fire button, which leads to the joystick for the Amiga being configured as a 2-button joystick. We were not able to change this and had to live with it at the meeting. However, that doesn't mean we have to live with it forever and have summarily added support for the 2-button joystick. So now it shouldn't matter which fire button is pressed.

Next point of criticism was (once again) the installation routine. The moment Connect was installed into a subfolder, there was no longer an icon for the Connect folder. We were surprised that we didn't notice this during testing, but have corrected it with the new version. Thanks to Gothor for pointing this out!

The user Afebriwyn has taken the initiative and created a WHDLoad slave for Connect. The special thing about it is that you can run the game without graphic errors even with loaded P96 drivers or very fast CPUs. Thanks to Afebriwyn for this work.

However, we have 2 notes about this:

1. If you use a 68060, you have to use NOMMU in the ToolTypes. The same applies to other CPUs, which are emulated by any FPGAs or the like. If you don't do this, the game will abort with an error message at startup.

2. Because the slave is provided by a third party developer LogicalByte does not support the slave. If you encounter any problems, please contact the e-mail address given in the readme. Thank you for your understanding.

We wish you a lot of fun!" (dr)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Firmware 1.3
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.8 of the Greaseweazle firmware has been released providing the following changes:
  • AT32F403A: Run this MCU at 216MHz in main firmware
  • USB: Implement GET_STATUS(DEVICE) as required by USB spec
    • This fixes repeated USB resets on some Linux hosts
  • Blinky test: Fix serial baud rate (115200)

Developer log: Single player mode in "Settle the World"?
A week ago, Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel published an intro update for his turn-based building and trading game "Settle the World" (amiga-news.de reported). In the feedback, the wish was expressed to integrate a single-player mode including at least one computer opponent into the game.
In a recent developer log, the programmer now outlines how this could be implemented:

"To say it in front...this will not be easy.

Settle the World was an entry for BlitzBasic Jam 2022 and was supposed to be finished within six months. It was designed as a purely local multiplayer game due to the tight time constraints of the competition.

Unfortunately, this ensures that visual feedback for players is actually stored everywhere in the programme code. This means, for example, that a window appears when a unit has no more movement points, or a window appears when a Pioneer has no more tools, etc.

The calls to these information windows are built into the programme parts of the units and may of course not be called up during movements of computer-controlled units. Either all program parts will now be rewritten for universal use by players and computer opponents, or the computer opponents will receive their own program parts, which will, however, massively increase the file size of Settle the World (and with it the Fast RAM requirement).

Unfortunately, I realised yesterday that many Statements and Functions cannot simply be rewritten for shared use. That would be equivalent to a complete rewrite in many parts and so I won't be doing that. It would probably lead to a mess in the code that I wouldn't understand after a few weeks and so I would stop the project. Like dozens of projects on Amiga and PC in the last 20 years.

Settle the World should be saved from this "fate", however, because the game is really close to my heart! So I will include the part of the computer opponents as additional program code, which is mostly separate from the actual code. This won't be easy, I've never done anything like this before.

To get a feel for what work is needed, I just started over the last two days and marked one of the players as a computer opponent. This opponent doesn't start with loaded ships like the player, but directly with a first city.

So I wrote a function that determines a "perfect" position for a city.

The basis is the starting position of the respective player, i.e. the position where the player's ships normally spawn. Now all fields in a radius of 12 fields are checked for a suitable position. For this purpose, the surrounding fields of each land field are rated according to certain criteria.

How it works:
  • Each type of terrain gets points for its relevance. Fertile farmland gets a lot of points, tundra or desert give no points. Bonus and river fields give extra points.
  • There are three additional criteria:
    • Does the checked position on the map have access to wheat, wood and/or ocean?
    • If yes, the first field that fulfils one of these criteria gives extra points.
    • If it is the first city of a player, access to the ocean gives a lot of extra points to make sure that the first city is built by the sea.
Then a city is built at the position with the most points. After that a Pioneer is created at the position of this first city, placed into the city and used as a farmer on a field.

So far, this works quite reliably on all the maps I have tested.

However, it has already taken me two evenings... It's going to be a very, very lengthy project to integrate a computer opponent..." (dr)

Programming language: AmiBlitz 3.9.9
A few moments ago, version 3.9.9 of the programming language AmiBlitz has been released. Changes:

changes in project::
  • updated documentation
  • updated examples drawer
  • re-added serveral resident sourcefiles of BB2 for later improvement
  • added disassembled source code for blitzlibs animlib, iffiolib, ilbmifflib
  • added several StormWizard-demos made by @mdbergmann

fixed:
  • fixed several broken OS-functioncalls in PED and compiler that could lead to a crash
  • fixed crash of PED when source code contains TAB-characters
  • fixed crash when using HELP-key on certain macro names
  • fixed some display problems with cursor when blinking is turned off
  • fixed some display problems when scrolling source from outside the window
  • fixed seldom display problems with highlighting of statement names
  • fixed multiple redraws of source window at resize of window
  • fixed configuration: state of intellisense option was not parsed correctly
  • fixed: if a source file was "saved as", the new filename was not shown in tab title
  • fixed: crash when saving as plain text
