Ever Slightly Off Topic but,

I remember when I used to watch Merlin as a kid, used to be one of my more repeated cartoons I watched.

Was amusing at the time also.

Naturally, nothing like the transformers as a kid.

OK, cheers, and Hopefully we can start using it on OS4.x machines soon, when you get it working with a nicer outlay.

@ikir

Its not that fast for my sam?

Wonder what you did to get your sam running and loading OWB that fast?

Also, I find using it to browse the net is a tad slowish?

But I have also heard that 3.7 has bugs, and that this may be a reason for my little delemas?

Cheers

Dear amigans,

thought I would post this here, to try and get some testers happening.

Now, do not expect to be abe to play the game as yet, but we are getting clse, and we would like some os4 testers to test the current installation of the port, and ofcourse, to tell us what happens after the install.

ALSO

Monthly page issue 2 features :

- Short Update
- Nightlong
- Rise Of The Triads
- Technical

enjoy the second issue of monthly page,

and

enjoy testing the installation process of starcraft port. Let us know if after installtion it is requesting a stardat.mpq or something.

Our Lead Programmer says he knows how to fix this, but just wants to confirm that it is not just happening from our original starcraft cd.

Cheers.

Kind regards

@Snuffy

it has been discussed more than once before on amigaworld.net.

Anyway, before diving into the deep end of the pool here, I will give you a linkto one of the threads, that was very useful to me. (I wonder why)

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... _id=27807&forum=32#480999

You will also need to look at tired of lifes link, with the dvdvcd.plugin.

I remeber when I had many problems like yours, and even dvd's not playing, showing a picture, but those days are long gone, and now I enjoy many dvd's.

If this did not help you with your freezing. (dvdvcd.plugin, and the rest) then let us know.

@Mrodfr

I am ultimately a tad confused here.

When I copy from hd to key, it has always worked for me in OS4.1, yes, on my sam.

SO

Why not use OS4.1 to topy your amicygnix files, instead of loading AMiCygnix to copy files??

That just sounds like the long way around to doing something simple?

Sorry If I am mistaken here.

@Snuffy

Sure, Tired of life and myself may be able to help you.

You need to give us a problem first though.

Also, if rudei actually managed to test nightlong himself, even he can help you.

BUt again, we need you to give us your problem, so we can give it a go to help you fix it.

I simply installed the 130MB of nightlong.

I decided to in the end, create another folder called Q within the nightlong directory.
THis is also what Tired of life suggested for clean intro sequence and in game movie sequences.

Generally, I found sometimes I still have it run off the cd, dont know why, dont need to now.

If doing the Q drawer option, be warned, youll need close to 2 gig of HD space. (INSANE)

Well, install the latest RTG master, and make sure to use RTGOS4FIX also.

not sure what else to say, until you give us your problem report.

@TiredOfLife

Yeah sure, my Heretic 2 demo is almost fine now, it runs fine, then after a while gives me ISI, but does not freeze my system, However, generally, as all amiga users know, after an ISI, one usually needs a machine restart anyway.

As for nightlong, I found that without jit enabled, it is slower, versus when it is enabled. Which version are you using?

I use 1.2, and get a DSI at the start.

Another thing Ive been meaning to ask, Wondering how your ingame graphics are, with mine, the text is not clearly readable, but then when I right click, for that moment of the click the text becomes readable for that seond, as do the in game graphics become nicer for that second.

Is this normal?

I also have only one option in the RTG settings for it.

THen theres the fact that even when I tried it at 1440x900 screen res, the graphics did not change, still blurred??

Talk to me about this, run me through this.

@TiredOfLife

Hahahaha, Buddy Old Pal.

Got it going today, we compared it to my friends A1, then compared my Libs, it seems I was installing rtgmaster yes, but it was looking for it.

Eventually we managed to fix this and get it working, ofcourse a DSI pops up before start, but after ignoring DSI errors, it runs fine.

Naturally, had to place it in the compatibility, and dsabled jit, to ensure no crashes. It runs a tiny bit slower, but I can handle this for a point and click adventure.

Thank you kindly for helping us though.

P.S.Since getting Nightlong working, also managed to get Heretic 2 demo working, but eventually it does get an ISI, but atleast its better than nothing at all.

Next up, is to try and get Open red Alert past that damn white screen, after the intro of the tank.

@retro

I too have Napalm, and no go. Infact, I have yet to hear of a user that has gotton Napalm to work for os4.x

It works fine under Cloanto emulation.

Also, check my website out, go to the Listings section, and this is a general resource to help users, like yourself, find out a general idea of what works and is nt working, games, software, hardware.

The website is part of my signature.

@TiredOfLife

I almost got it working after re installing rtg master.

Wouldnt all the files from os4depot be for os4??

Or are there now os4.1 types and os4 type?

@Tired of life and @ Thread

Nightlong still not working, heres what I got below:

Was wondering if you/one could check your libs drawer, and tell me how many different versions of Warp you have in there?

As I seem to have this:

Warp3d drawer
Warp3d.lib
warp3dppc.lib
warpos drawer
warpsdl.lib

Am I meant to have all of these?

Also, while I am asking,

Got these rtg ones in my libs drawer:

rtg drawer
rtgami.lib
rtgc2p drawer
rtgecxtra.lib
rtgmaster drawer
rtgmaster.lib
rtgp96.lib

If you can tell me which ones I dont need, or shouldnt evenhave as part of my libs drawer, that would be awesome.

@COBRA

PLayed quake a few times now. Thank you for the update, much nicer to be able to play a game with no glitches.

Was wondering, if you could update the quake 3 patch for sam440ep users, so it isnt so DAMN slow.

THat would be awesome.

CHeers.

@Paul

what happens if you ignore all DSI's? Does the program simply work then? Or does it get a more serious error, like ISI?

Cheers.

@spotUP and @All

As you may already know, we are freshmen here at BlitterWolf. Started out this year pretty much. At the moment we hope to bring the Amiga community a port to play StarCraft.

We are in testing Phases at the moment, and may have a pre release, for other users to test for us, if they are willing ofcourse.

Hopefully have the testing phase one out with the next Release of our Monthly Page, issue 2.

FUTURE :

Future plans for me, is to learn a lot of gear.
Future plans as a whole, maybe to port some other projects this year, and inbetween this year and next year, to consider starting a Fresh project

AND

What are people's thoughts on our Monthly Page having interviews with Companies, Private Amigans, Developers, General, Music and Film creators, etc. DO you guys find this a good idea to include in our Monthly Page?

I am still awaiting feedback in general to this, and what amigans would like to read about, within limits.

@Wanderer :

Werde gerne wissen wie teuer eure Softwair HD-Rec, usw, was ist geplannt?

Would like to know how expensive your software, HD-rec, etc, what is planned when it is released?

@TiredOfLife

If I did not have it, then I do now, as I have re installed it from your link.

After this, tried to run 1.1 of nightlong, and still get the same result?

ALSO

Could there be a conflict, if I have another warp library, or is warpemu totally seperate?

And, what warp libraries do you have in you Libs section on AmigaOS Partition?

Cheers

P.S. Feeble Files works? Moonbases works? etc. Why not nightlong?

How big was your install of nightlong? 130MB to HD??

@yoodoo2

Reading your post has made me feel better about how long it may take my colleague and I to get something nice onto the plate.

@Wanderer,

Das ist ja alles schoen.

Dude. I used and am using tuited for my basic webpage at the moment. thank you for your help, in helping me in a way, via yur program.

Also, man, hardly wait to see the RPG out on OS4.x machines.

@Thread,

Some nice gear coming soon it seems.

@TiredOfLife

Ive recieved my order, Nightlong.

wanted to know, the install is only meant tobe 130mb right?

Also, No matter which version I pick, i get nothing but a drainage of all my memory. At this point in time, i then need to hard reboot.

The holding down of the shift key, while double clicking, also does not being up the screnn selection menu, as mentioned in the addition info notes.

What am I doing wrong, or better yet, How can I get this working?

I had to play feeble files again, due to Nightlong not working tonight.

Any help from a fellow sam user may be deemed very helpful.

Cheers.

@Swoop

my apologies, I thought you would be using OWB to download, I mean, did you not tell me in another thread that it works for you?

Cheers.

@ktadd and @Joerg

Has anyone one considered the simple users, and new users to the platform. (almost 5 months now)

Not everyone enjoys messin' around to try and get downloading happening. Id much rather open up a browser that has the support in it already.

Another note would be, many may not like fiddling around hours at a time for little things like downloading, or getting other programs to work.

Some people may actually want to use this as a daily runner in replacement of other os's out there, is the amiga community telling me that they forget those people who do not wish to use anything else in thier home hours, away from work and windows systems all together?

Anyway, when I get sick of not having dl support for OWB and sick of opening up the IBrowse to get dl support, I will try the Clipdown program, which seems to be a riveting program.

Maybe talk with joerg, to allow this Clipdown to be an automatic feature with OWB, then people with lack of experience, new to the platform, and simple folk, can simply enjoy a well made product?

Anyway, not to reign on anyones parade here, but JOERG, you are doing well with OWB, and Im wondering why the copy with OS4.1 had download support, but any copy after the 1.x doesnt?

I didnt even notice that it was a hack job????

Cheers.

@COBRA

Is this for quake 3?

Or the original Quake 1 paks?

Can I use this same 2.40 version for all the Quakes 1, 2, and 3?

THank you.

And sorry for not knowing whats going on here.
