You all read that Candyman did the endpart music to "..do things" and
that TAO did the YM conversion. But how did the original Candyman
track sound like? Well wonder no more, becuase Candyman has made an mpeg
version of this track! It's the original that the YM is based at,
and about three years old now. As the excellent coder Candyman is,
he have of course created the musicprogram the song was made in as well.
It's a Mac/PPC program.

Some game was reelased by NUN at Paracon2. It was posted to me

is "falcon tested" and will "probably also work on falcon" (ehh?).

In a message from The Beast today:
Just a few words to tell you the Toxic Mag 18 is available,
but only in HTML format. Thyrex/Loud! hasn't finished the
ST version (so bad because there is the excellent Dune intro
inside).
Of course, as usually now, most of the articles are translated
into English (OK, they were translated using a translation
software, so the quality isn't perfect).
No ZIP/LZH archive is available because the editorial isn't
complete (I'm waiting for Thyrex's part).

popular PC games have been ported to TT and Falcons. The games are
"Doom", "Heretic", "Hexen" and "Quake". Please note that you need at least
some Fastram to have the games nearly playable. Quake would need 040/060
for the intense FPU use (crawwwwls on a ct2). All games need extra datafiles (wads and other) from
the original PC games. Shareware demos should be available on ftp sites.

Error In Line roundup. (April 8, 1999)
-
Here is a breif summary of our Error In Line journey.
It all began in October/November with the competition we
had here, where people could vote for the best partyname. We
received alot of suggestions, but as far as I know, none of them
were "error in line". After the name was set, there was an invite
from CP/ESC for the ST, and numerous textfiles around. The hype was
slowly getting higher and higher. A bit into 1999 everyone was more or
less convinced this "was it" for 1999. We released a little EIL intro
for the Falcon to keep the interest for EIL at top.
At this time I felt a little sorry for the organisers, there was
alot of hype and everyone seemed to expect nothing but a perfect party.
Time went by, and the EIL homepage got one sponsor after the other added.
We in the Swedish travelteam had setup a mailinglist and was talking how
the heck to get down there. In the end most of us decided upon going
with car to Gothenburg, then ferry from Gothenburg to Kiel, and last
drive approx 600km from Kiel to Dresden. All that went pretty smoothly
except for a bitchy hangover I somehow got at the ferry ;-).
Next.. find the partyplace. This wasn't the easiest task! We drove around
Dresden for about 45min until we found the place. 505/CP sat at the entrance,
we recognised eachother directly as we've been trading pornpics
of eachother earlier (ehmm..).
Entering the partyplace... yes this was a real experience. Not a single
time I have seen a computer party held in such enviornment! It was at
a basement of a student house, with small rooms all over the place which
were made like "caves" and bars everywhere. After the first "chock" of seeing
this *COOL* place, I found Energizer/Lazer who was keeping the Swedish
room under control :). Then we went back to get our packing, and it seems
like our parking wasn't welcomed by the gardener or something, becuase
we had taken a "shortcut" over the grass (whistle...). After a turbo-unloading
of the car, we began carrying stuff downstairs, and to my surprice the
organisers HELPED carrying the stuff. This was definitly not what usually
happens. Megathanks for that help! Next was decrunching the equipent so
we could start coding again, it had been nearly 40 hours without coding
and most of us seemed a bit shaky. While rushing to get the Falcon running
I had already shaked hand with a dozen people I've met on #atariscne IRC channel.
It seemed everyone was there! But man that was wrong, not even half was.. they
arrived in the next hours! The rooms and corridors fastly filled up, and in
the end there was not many seats left. In our swedish room, we had computers
enough for a whole platoon, and we sat tight and nicely together ;).
We had brought food, in the belief this would be quite the same as FB3
or Siliconvention (eg, everything closed..). But no, it seems like
Dresden isn't so obsessed in closing everything as Bremen is, and
the organisers had Pizza and Chineese orders all days! This was totally
super. They also sold cold Cola and Beer in the bar (which was located in our
room.. hehe, perfect!). Talk about Pizza - they were clearly eatable, not
tops and not crap. But they had something fun, namely the "party pizza".
Anyone meeting the swede gang know many of us are over the 100kg line
in weight, and we want lots of food :) However these partypizzas fulfilled
all our dreams! Size of a half bed or something! Nam nam, baggio and Havoc (both
big dudes!) got two meals each from one pizza.
The party went on, and people were having a good time, talking and
exchanging coding tips. There wasn't anyone behaving badly as far as I know,
which again prooves the Atarians are friendly chaps all over.
After a while I had met about everyone, except the "mysterious" Defjam which
left the scene just some weeks before EIL. When I finally talked to him, I didn't recognise
the Defjam I've met on IRC at all. This guy was in the best coding-mood
one can be. And he decided to go home and complete his "Sure Trip" demo.
Damn good to have him back! :-)
The days went by, and the sleeping/shower place was great too, when I were
taking a shower on sunday morning I got company! A nice nude (~20 years old)
girl came in! Wowness, this doesn't happen all the time :-)). She didn't
seem the slightest emabarrased and just tripped into the shower. Maybe
they don't care so much in the east, who knows. But it was a nice surprice after
seeing Baggio and Deez for three days ;)
Sunday night was compotime. This was sort of interesting. They showed the
MSB "Breath demo" first, and it was really good. Then our demo came on,
and it seemed they messed up the projector just in time for that, becuase
everything was more or less white. Poor Edo didn't get his pictures shown
nearly as they should be. Next was Defjams demo, now they turned the
brightness down (he he, tactical move perhaps ? ;)). But it really didn't matter
they could have had brightness on max for defjams demo as well, it would have
won anyway. This is the best thing ever done on the ST. Totally brilliant. And
he actually thought about quitting?! Bahh! Suretrip demo rules! After this pleasure
they showed another demo, from Stax! I had no idea they planned one. And it
was also a GREAT one. Mapped wolf3d worlds, mode7 stuff and so on. Incredible
things. Then it went on to Falcon demos. I wasn't expecting much from anyone,
except FUN that has been saying they have routs that outclasses their old demo
(which was a good one by itself!). I saw some 3d at Earx CT2 Falcon, and it
was wonderful fast. However, at the compo, something went wrong and the demo
wasn't showed as it should. And later on, it went even worse, they tried to show
the DHS preview-crap demo. And it all failed, after 3-4 tries I left the room
starting to tidy-up the stuff I had so we could leave rather early next
morning. After approx 30 mins I heard the music from our Falcondemo going
and I applaused for myself "wow they must be great technicans capable of
pressing a number to choose rgb" ;-). To my surprice there were applauses
in the comporoom after our demo had been shown. Oh well, it might have been for
some other reason I thought. Then I met 505 and he said they were showing the Cobra
Falcon demo, and he said I probably should go and see it. I ended up beside
Mr.Pink on a weak bench which made some worrying sounds when I stood on it.
But that's life when you're in the 100+ club ;). And now I saw some 3d
object from Cobra. Nice one! Except that it could just as well had been a
1fps slideshow from harddisk. From what I could see, it gets the #1 price
in "slowest falcondemo" competition. I asked grey if they used 040 Falcons
or something when coding, but no.. They used ordinary ones! Maybe they
drink much vodka over there and see everything in motionblur?
Hehe.. anyway, after this it was up the 9 (or 10) stairs to get some
sleep. Early in the morning I woke up, took a shower (no babe this time!)
and then went down packing things. Unfortenly they had the prioce ceremony
just when I had to pack, so I missed the thing. After about half an hour
someone (I think it was TAM/Toys) met me and he said "you won a CT2". "Bahh" I thought
and went on. Then I met Joe Cool, and he said "Congratualtions". Now I was really
worried.. "did that crap thing actually win?!". And yes, it did. Loke had brought
the price into our room and there it was, the brand new CT2 card. Yippe-yo!
We also took some sort of price in 128byte compo (2nd or third I would guess).
Then we had to leave, and the trip back home went smoothly for about
half of us. The other half got stuck in Swedish customs (ha ha ha) ;)
A few days after the party I can't think of much that could have been done better.
Sure the videoprojector could have done a better job and the Germans should
smoke alot less. But as a whole I liked EIL _very_ much. It will be damn hard
to make something equally good again. Probably not possible. So megathanks
to the organisers, and to the helpful ladies at the bar which always wanted to
chat :).

Error In Line. (March 22, 1999)
-
There are a few new things on the competition-side
of EIL that has been cleared out lately. First of all,
there is a very fine price in the Falcon competition,
namely a Centrubo II card.
And, there is now a possibility for those that want to
join the compo, but feel they don't have time to complete
the demo in time for EIL. They can compete with the unfinished
production, and then have two weeks (April 16'th the latest)
to send the final copy in, or the staff will release the compo-preview.
This is good news as there is a better chance more people
can join the competitions!

Oxygene. (February 20, 1999)
-
Finally Leonard has released the Nostalgic-o-demo for ST/STe machines.
The demo has a very well-choosen name. Almost all screens are in
a very old fashion, that has been seen countless of times before.
A few parts stand out from the other, the intro especially. It's a really
awesome 3d-world (bsp-tree, like the eko-system on falcon), too bad we
didn't get more of this. There is also a quite nice texturemap/envmap screen
from Overlanders, but doesn't come near the efforts by .tSCc. in framrate
and size. Also, cream has a screen that demonstrates their SID Emulator
and plays the Union-demo original SID songs. The rest of the screens are as
said above, old stuff, maybe a bit optimized..
Download.
.tSCc. (February 20, 1999)

Super-graphican mOd left .tSCc. to freelance instead. So if you're
a coder, hurry to up to order jobs from him ;)

-
Tat has put up a webpage where he will put the sourcecodes for his
binliner demo. Currently a few preview executables can be downloaded.
Visit Tat's page.
Sid Sound Designer. (February 9, 1999)
-
As a lot of people have been asking about Sid Sound Designer
replay routines that actually work (what a revolutionary feature :)).
I've decided to upload a version that is heavily bugfixed.
It was planned to be included in the fortcoming "useful routines archive"
that will be coming online in a while, but what the hell, if people needs it now
let them have it. It plays SID-Wave on all three channels and works with
ST/STe/MSTe/TT030/PAK030/Falcon/CenturboII with or without Fastram.
I belive the basic of these routines are
from Synergy, then changed alot by MC/AnimalMine (for the SSD editor).
Defjam then ripped the replay from SSD 3.5-preview, and bugfixed it. However,
FroST/Loud bugfixed it even more (Falcon IDE was resetted with Defjams version)
so now it seems to be really safe to use.
The package consist of a binary module, an example source how to call
it and one example song.

IMParty 8000. (January 4, 1999)
-
Ended today, and the party was a success. This once again
proove that small parties outclass the larger ones easily.
Most coding creativity was seen from Wiztom/aggression and
Thomas/New Beat. Thomas new Falcontracker called "Flex Track"
is getting near a preview release, it looks very promising and
includes some new concepts to trackers. More about Wiztoms activites
a bit down. About 40 people attended to imp, including the new 'Wildfire'
coder 'Zounds' which seems to be a bright and cool dude, both baggio
and zounds are confident of having a st demo ready for release
at EIL. Spice Boys was present at IMP and they made a modcompile
with help of their new member "The Giant" from holland ;-). Opus and
Fuzzkid released the last ever "CPU Love" demo during IMP and a new
team from netherlands released a fakeintro as well.
More about IMP8, photos etc will be announced later. But put
in short: it was fun!!
Aggression. (January 4, 1999)
-
From the depth of Swedish classic 'IMParty', Aggression
reports that their "Motion" Falcondemo is put out to
public as 'gpl'. This means the sources are free
and can be used by anyone that wants to. Wiztom coded
day and night at IMP8 to complete and clean up the sources,
and actually managed to.
As soon as we have the package available, it will be possible
to download from here. This finally puts an end to the question
if we'll ever see motion or not.
NUN! (January 4, 1999)
