Now you made me question this project too :)

Maybe the project was suggested just because people find the available documentation poor - it's too difficult to find information on supported ARexx commands for each application.

If that is the case, is this just a matter of improving the documentation then? We have a Help tool already: SYS:System/Help. Why create another application? If the developer creates a separate autodoc on ARexx commands supported by his application, that autodoc could be read with the Help tool when saved to "HELP:<language>" directory. (In order to work, Help tool would need a small update, of course.)

Hello,

My initial plan is to create a light database server which has a public API (ARexx port and a small command set) for storing, updating, deleting, and querying programs' ARexx command descriptions.

The server can export ARexx command descriptions of a desired program as text, AmigaGuide, or HTML. The application which requested the command descriptions can then display the file.

It is also possible to search and fetch information from the database through the API. Then the caller application will get the requested information as a message.

Like trixie said, I expect the application programmer to make an XML file containing his application's ARexx commands data. When the XML file is handed over to the database server, the server stores the information in the database.

I haven't thought much about the database browser tool. I'll concentrate on the server first and try to make it as light and simple as possible.

@Fransexy

Yes, laptop would be great!

I could investigate if it's possible to detect the previous icon formats and add search targets for them. Then you would be able to target the selection to for example AmigaOS 3.x icons only.

Is that what you are after?

Hello, I've released new version.

PowerSelect 2.0 (31-Mar-2014)
- rewritten from start using C instead of ARexx
- PowerSelect is now commodity
- you can use AmigaDOS patterns to select icons
- you can select icons according to their name, comment, version ($VER tag), protection flags, size, and date
- you can limit the selection to disk, drawer, tool, project, trashcan, and app icons
- created documentation
- new installer script
- uninstaller for PowerSelect version 1.0

I'm sure the library problem can be solved but to be honest, I'm not motivated to finish the project, really. I've never heard that any other Amiga user than myself has a HardSID soundcard.

@spotUP
Yes, the project is several years old. I wanted to make a SID library which would utilise HardSID Quattro PCI sound card.

The card required very precise timing but I finally got it right. I have a test program which can get sound out of the card but I have trouble creating the library itself and that's where the project has stalled.

I have just uploaded a new Freeserf version to OS4 Depot.

New in version 0.1.1:
* main menu: you can select a mission or play in a custom sized map
* you can switch between windowed and fullscreen mode during the game
* adjustable window size in the windowed mode
* user aid: show or hide building sites
* auto load and save for game settings: music, sound effects, volume, and screen mode
* validates game data file
* bug fixes
* game startup script updated

Thanks to all who have donated for the Freeserf porting project!

I've located the problem. Thanks for pointing it out!
Maps 1-3 are safe to use. I advice not to use the other maps.

I think it's caused randomly by Amiga's env-handler (delay creating a variable). I'll see if I can find an another way to get a map number.

Yes, I noticed that too. It happened two times when I was testing. It's definitely a bug.

Does it happen every time when you load a game?

I'll see if I can fix it for the next version.

@Raziel
Computer controlled opponents are missing from this version.

It took me so long to make the Amiga port that Freeserf got updated. The new version has a main menu where you can select a mission and you can see your opponents. However, there is still no AI.

I will update the Amiga port later.

Freeserf uploaded to OS4 Depot. Happy gaming!

Hello,

I've been porting Freeserf for AmigaOS 4. Freeserf is a faithful clone of the classic simulation game The Settlers.

I'm nearly finished. The game runs perfectly but I still have some small things to do before I can release it.

You can find a couple screenshots on my website: http://www.janneperaaho.arkku.net/

Thanks orgin!

Hello,

I tried running EpubCheck (https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck) with JAmiga.

It seems that if the jar file (epubcheck-3.0.1.jar) is on a hard drive, jamvm refuses to execute it:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com/adobe/epubcheck/tool/Checker
at java.lang.VMClass.forName(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:233)
at javavm.java.lang.JarLauncher.main(JarLauncher.java:46)

If the jar file (epubcheck-3.0.1.jar) is on the RAM disk, jamvm starts executing it but after a while it crashes. Here is the crashlog:

http://crashlog.os4depot.net/?function=view&crashlogid=376

Looks like there will be no more votes, so thanks everyone!

The poll results are:

* PowerSelect should be a commodity: 67%, 8 votes
* Optional search targets: 8%, 1 vote
* Target windows: 0%, 0 votes
* Flag select: 0%, 0 votes
* Type select: 0%, 0 votes
* Count select: 0%, 0 votes
* Search conditions: 25%, 3 votes

The next version will be a commodity then. After that I will add search conditions and optional search targets.

Hello,

I've created a poll for PowerSelect's new features. You can vote for your favourite feature. The most wanted feature will be added to the next version.

Ok. I'll have to settle for command line compiling until then.

Hello Rigo!

Can we have a cc65 project option for CodeBench, please?
