Amiga Online: Future of Big Pack 4
« on: November 29, 2007, 12:05:27 PM »

Ok, i admit it, an updated pack is definately overdue, my apologies.

now that demonoid has been shut down, i doubt the pack 3 torrent even works, and this is a major push for me to do an update.


unfortunately time is a burden to as all, and to no-one more than myslef lately.

I really want to do this pack right, making things as simple and as uniform as possible. This isnt easy for me to do atm.



This means stuff like;  

The usage of HD folders (hopefully) , so new whdload games can -almost- be "dropped in", by using a 2 HD system (a boot disk and a game disk)

Some Game GUIS - Alien Breed, Lemmings, SWOS all need fixed custom GUIs, and a few others will use a generic thing.

The new kaileraclient.dll  which allows for peer-to-peer connections - although i am dubious about incuding this directly as the server list seems to be broken.

unform kickstars - all packs to use kickstart 3.0 or 1.3 named "kick30.rom" or "kick13.rom" - empty copies of the packs are to be uploaded to the site with a txt file in place of the kick.

I would also like to add an Amiga Online custom version of SWOS with updated teams and gfx. Afterall, its the most played amiga game online, so it should advertise this site!

Providing the kicstarts arent an issue, the new torrent is likely to be tracked on the amiga tracker, (and preferbaly others too) and then it will need to be uploaded to as many torrents sites, and announced on amiga forums as possible.



as you can see, this is going to require more than just an evening in front of the PC - so dont expect result overnight. If anyone wants to help, get in contact and we'll see what can be arranged. (FOL, Mihcael, Skateblind?) - i am always in chat, although a PM might make more sense as i might staart turning off IRC in order to get this stuff done!

Maybe when i have a few simple packs done, someone else can use that as a template for a lot more games i might have missed, to allow me to concentrate on the GUIs and custom stuff.

I will anounce when everything is compiled and we can go from there.


Lets just hope things like PSPUAE guides, music, and real-life work dont get int the way too much!!

right, i've created a very simple to use / alter "Booter" for the games.

[removed link - superceeded]


if you drop a whdload slave, (renamed to game1.slave) and the games data into the Disks/DH1/ folder, it should run

you can add a "script#" file that will run instead, into DH1/ as well... thus allowing for using a JST version of a game, or a standard HD installer.


the DH0/Boot/  folder contains some default images,  but adding "loading.iff" - a picture of 320x256x16 - will make the booter use this instead.


Finally, adding "music.med" (Octamed Music format) to the DH0/Boot/  folder will make the booter play this music, simply to fill the space whilst you wait for it to load! - if it is a single game with no whdload wait, i suggest you remove any music.


this should make an update happen much quicker, so get your requests in now!


unfortunately i still want to make a -few- GUIs and custom versions.....


edit:

newest additions are:

add a blank 0k text file to Dh0:BOOT/  called 2,3,4 or 5 and it will create a menu for that many games.  There is a set layout for this though, so templates / examples will have to be used, but its only a matter of creating a menu.if file.

adding a 0kb "mouse" file makes the menu use mouse control instead of joystick / keyboard

game1.slave etc is now used by default, script1 etc in DH1: takes priority however over same scripts in S:

I've been searching for the game "tanx 'n' stuff"... seems I found pack 3 too late, the torrent is indeed dead  :(

I'm running a multiboot of Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and windowsXP, any chance I can get hold of a version to run in an emulator on any of those?

cheers,

Loki

hi there Loki

i'll make sure tanx-n-stuff still gets included in BP4, although i am breaking up the PD packs a bit (hopefully to give us more games!)


if you pop into chat sometime and scream "horace!!" (to see if i'm there), i can always send you over the old version for now.


Windows XP will be your only option for winuae-kaillera, i sadly have had trouble getting it to run at a decent speed dual-booting into XP on my MacBook. I think it is probably a similar problem to that reported by a few other users who attempted to run on Dell Laptops.

I think maybe once the machine is too fast, winuae-kaillera starts to have problems :S  bizarre i know!
