| Amiga Future: cheats database Update |
|
|
| .: Posted: AndreasM @ 22.04.2014 - 15:18 |
The cheats database of Amiga Future is updates weekly by David Jahn, even at first sight if it is not immediately apparent.
This is probably also due to the changes do not show up do not update the list of cheat codes database.
In the last three weeks, many functions were checked for example by Mister and Missis, Mobile Warfare, Monster Business, Monty Pyhtons Flying Circus, Moonshine Racers and many others.
In addition, new downloads were linked (those full versions, in the meantime online) and in the meantime noticed errors (wrong game name), incorrect entries, spelling, ect. fixed or eliminated.
The cheat database on the Amiga Future webpage is probably the biggest German collection for the Amiga.
This is not just about cheats. Many solutions, tips and tricks, as well as Freezer addresses can be found in this collection.
Meanwhile you can find 3420 Games Cheats and solutions in the database, and there is always more.
The database is currently completely in German. If we receive enough donations for the website, we have planned to integrate a proper online database, which will also be available in English.

| "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places" is |

A Backbone game "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places" is released for your enjoyment.
The game features 5 levels, 3 of them are location levels and 2 are walking levels.
The music has been used from Sound Terrific MOD compilation with author credits acknowledged in the game.
Tiles and sprites were created be me, my friend and heavily modified Cammy tiles.
Sound FX are made by me and some are from Backbone.
The game was tested on A1200 68030 50MHz and it runs fine.
To install the game, just decompress it to HD and click on Marco icon.
Few tips and quirks:
1. Because there is a small problem with Backbone when you die over "Danger Area" like water, you will respawn to the beginning of a level and restart. So, you need to finish the level w/o dieing.
2. I limited fire/throw axe speed, so it's harder to kill enemies, you can't just blast through enemies.
3. You need to collect all items before advancing to the next level.
4. In the Mayan level not all gates open.
5. I used the same fire button to Throw and Open Doors, I found out that assigning keyboard press to open the Door was disrupting the flow of the game. So, you can't shoot next to the door, you need to move away some before shooting.

EvenMore released in the Version 0.80
Changes:
Created outline text style. ESC[52m turns on outline text, and ESC[53m turns it off again. For use in the new PageStream plugin.
Created basic PageStream2Text plugin. Still to implement all of the text styles and colours that it offers.
Fixed bug. Shadow text and strikethrough styles would not carry over to the next line.
Optimized RTF2Text plugin a little. Fixed bug where a line break instead of a space between a command and ordinary text would cause the plugin to skip a word. Also patched a bug in the RTF code generated by LibreOffice on Linux. LibreOffice stores pen 1 as 0, but other pen numbers start at 2.
HTML2Text plugin will now display preformatted text as the system default font.
A bug in the highlighting caused the system default and screen fonts over several lines to be rendered in all the same font.
Added docx to the list of filenames opened by Arc2Text plugin, as these are Zip compressed XML files.
Rewrote HTML conversion routine. This uses Strnicmp() now to search for commands. This is case incenstitive string comparison. Saves having to copy the HTML and do uppercase and then check. Also properly parses the ordinary text between commands, so conversion is much faster now.
Added two new escape codes for the strikethrough text style now used by the HTML2Text plugin. ESC[58m turns on strikethrough and ESC[59m turns it off again.
Added OpenOffice file extension to the Arc2Text.plugin so it will be able to open them (the documents are compressed Zip files). May eventually change this so the Arc2Text plugin checks the file header instead.
Arc2Text plugin will now extract files to a standard memory buffer, to be more compatible with the rest of the plugins. It will still use exec lists for the archive directories though.
Sped up Dir2Text plugin by using pattern matching for the info files instead of StrCmp on each filename.
EvenMore is a textviewer for the Amiga written in AmigaE and ECX.
EvenMore is freeware. This means you can use EvenMore as much as you like without having to pay anything.
Some Features are:
- Plugin system for viewing many different file types, such as AmigaGuide, HTML, WordWorth, MSWord, RTF, directories, etc.
- Supports ANSI escape code sequences for text formatting, including full colour text for certain file types
- Links are clickable in HTML, AmigaGuide, directories and other file types
- Font-sensitive user interface
- Drag and drop files on the window to open them
- ARexx port for remote control
- Search function
- Configurable menus for frequently used documents
- Clipboard support
- Locale support

BetterWB released in the Version 3.6.
Changes:
- Full 68040, 68060 and ACA accelerators autodetection and driver support with the new HardWiz
- Rebooter is a new very handy application for restricted memory systems
- EnvHandler will save quite a lot of ram by optimising envarc (Thanks PeterK)
- Easily customize and lock palettes with FullPalette
- Updated icon.library to version 46.4.339 which is faster and less memory hungry
- Updated PFS3 aio to latest build (19-march-2014)
- Updated DMS to version 1.53
- Added a small text with a couple of tips after switching to GlowIcons
- Gzip is back. It is required for ADZ support in TSGUI (Thanks Jost)
- Added missing deficons (tool & project)
- Changed default position of the global trashcan whenever it is activated, so it doesnt get in the way
- For the love of the boing ball: replaced workbench´s glowicon to suit Jarek´s taste
- Replaced the standard trashcan icon with one that looks more elegant
- BetterWB has now its own envarc drawer with wich you can easily check wether BetterWB is installed, which version is it, and the extensions it has enabled (FullPalette, GlowIcons, Rebooter)
- Plus a few more minor fixes and tweaks
BetterWB is a new workbench pack, much like AIAB, Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB, etc. but applying a totally different aproach. It aims to be much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties typically associated with these kind of packs. It is indeed a better 3.1 than 3.1 itself!

| Amiga Future looking for Copyright Holder |
|
|
| .: Posted: AndreasM @ 16.04.2014 - 15:38 |
As you all certainly know, on the Amiga Future homepage and cover CD we publish full versions of commercial titles. But even shareware full versions are always included again.
It does not matter whether it is games, applications, drivers, or CDs. We want to get all commercial titles.
In order to do this legally, we always need a permission of their respective owners.
The biggest problem is to find these owners. The next problemthen is to get a contact with the respective rights holders.
We ask you therefore for your help.
Do you have contact with rights-holders of shareware or commercial software?
Do you know any personally or did you havecontact recently with someone?
Then write us an email: redaktion@amigafuture.de
We're also looking for someone who can help us to get in contact with some Italian,French and American companies.
Ideally one who comes from these countries and possibly can make a call.
