Re: Wings Remastered

@Hans

It seems to me that only OS4 game sales can almost reach 100 copies. (Based mainly on amiboing.de highscore statistics).

But for the three platforms together takes this time to preorder such a game like Wings Remastered is surprises me. Especially to see that how it slows this time which indicates nearly the end of the absorbtion capacity of the market.

It is a good pointer of the size of this market. Furthermore note the fact that some users (like me) buys everything that just released for the pure intent on supporting developers.

I hope this market will grow in time!

Let's preorder the remaining stock, because I have no room for two copies!

@Joeled

Whats the benefit with using 2.4 compare to old 2.2? Whats new in the latest version?

Really working AmigaInput support. Two joysticks simultaneously never worked before.

@Daytona675x

Thanks! Then waiting for the update...

Just checked MOS on the same machine, and OS4 on a uA1 and there are no problems there.

Nice job, insane!

@Daytona675x

There is a problem in my machine with this Wings demo and even in Wings Battlefield demo.

At some parts of the games every few seconds the mouse pointer locks for about a quarter second and at the same time the sound is beeping.
While these glitches happens, the screen refresh goes toward smoothly.
At higher resolution it happens more frequent.

In the Wings demo these parts are: flight journal, action parts.

The machine is:
Pegasos 2 / Radeon 9250
OS4.1FE
On-board audio
sii3114 sata drive

AHI settings:
Music unit - Unit0 16bit++ 44kHz
Unit 0 - 16bit++ 44kHz Channels 10

Any idea what settings should I check?

There is an old bug here:

- Run X64
- change focus to e.g. workbench screen
- open and release menu at the top menu bar

Here the X64 window is freezes and it consumes all cpu time.
When using the menu to pause it pauses and cpu usage is drops to normal level. Again pause (unpause) and the emulator runs normally.

Re: Does anyone use multiple menu actions?
Just popping in
Just popping in


I have not red all the posts, just reply to the first:

Yes, multiple menu selection is a good and frequently used feature for me. The most obvious usage is for slelecting multiple toggle menuitems. It would be sluggish if selecting three options would need three menu opening.
I am using the classic drop down menu from the screen top, because this is the best method for me.

By the way theres is applications e.g. PageStream which is cannot handle multiple menu actions.

The only Amiga like solution for this problem is if the user should decide wheter multiple selection is enabled or disabled, however I think Amiga menu system is far superior than other implementations.

@Valiant

Hope there will be others in 4.2 than multicore support. I have single core PPC machines which are waiting for it.

However in context of your question, why not? Let the poor emulation fans have a new toy!

Re: ASL improvement suggestion

I am surprised a bit how this maaarvelous idea have such a cold reception from most of you :)

I take a second whirl on it and curiously waiting for the result.

Quote:
if such a concpet were to arrive in amigaos then it ought to be managed by Application library and not patched into ASL


I would rather call it a new feature of ASL, a rather handy feature if you ask me.
If it would be some Application library function then it will never been fully supported, especially by old programs. If something is not fully supported, then why bother it from the user's perspective. Amiga still not ruined by incoherent user interfaces such like other systems.

Quote:
A RECENT: volume then would make the list easily accessable from *any* file browser / opening route (even the cli) so whilst displikeing it that would be the way I'd like to see it implemented.


Of course it is true, but who can decide what should such list contain? I think only the user should add items to it and how could it be easier than log the ASL selections.

The *any* file browsers are does not matter. Only one central file browser should be there IMHO. If I will want another one then I will want it everywhere.

Quote:
Yes, agreed, RECENT: would make sense and is an AmigaOS way of doing things.


I am not against RECENT:, but on my current setup I can see almost 50 rows in the file requester which cover assigns. It is a nice approach for the system and for the programs, but not for humans, who just wanting to select a file which is saved one minutes ago from another program.

Quote:
Something like this needs to go into the core of Read/write operations maybe DOS.


That is known as Snoopy.

Quote:
ASL can only possibly know that an open- or save filerequester was invoked - that is all.


Yes, and that is what I would like to see in the ASL requester. ASL has two sides, one for the system and the other will always the user. I don't mind what files the system or the programs are opens, closes, reads or writes. I just want a recent of MY choices.

To give a summary of the idea:

The idea came from the headaches when I use several programs while working on one job. Several files to touch several times, but always fighting with pathes if the files are not in the same place.

I think that the simple, elegant, and useful solution would be this:

- Recent tab at the ASL requester which holds previous file selections and selected drawers.
- ASL has a preferences already. It could be make a compliment which can be set the time of clearing the recent list. It would be *by reboot, *by n day
- The recent tab could hold a flush button to immidiately empty the list
- If it could handle application names that would be the icing on the cake

@pvanni
Yes it makes sense not separate opened and saved files because it soon became redundant.

@gregthecanuck

Flipping to volumes and select recent: would not be simpler IMHO. And would be less intuitive.

I think that the asl recent items should be time limited or stored in ram, so not grow to unuseable size.

ASL improvement suggestion
Just popping in
Just popping in


The good old ASL file requester does it well, but I have an idea which would improve it especially if you work with several applications.

Here is a MUI mockup of the idea you can try it on OS3/OS4/MOS.

It came from the fact that if you work on a task with several tools, you need to select the same files multiple times. For example a file is previously saved in other application then you have to select it again for opening in other program. The whole selections are independent from the pograms thanks to ASL. So why not ASL holds a list of recent items?

The last two shots are two different approaches of the same thing.

@kas1e:

You misundertood me. I'd like to show that it is pointless to blame e.g. C or other languages about bugs, and blame Hollywood to be used for a task which is not fit for it.
Hollywood has potential for several tasks, but not for everything. The easy learning curve, the fast results, the platform independency surely has some price.

And don't forget that it is possible to implement functions via plugins written in pure C which are runs as fast as other C code. Hollywood is a great playfield for wannabe programmers, so you may not see the full capabilities of the languge yet.

Hollywood users should learn to refrain the usage of some cheap but costly functions/effects when it is not neccessary or doesn't do it's job well.

However it is hard to resist sometime. :)

Ok, just lost a long post about the defence of Hollywood. I don't want to write it again...

So there could be annoying softwares written in other language too. (Odyssey - C, Webserver - C, Website - PHP, don't know which I could blame)
