Wanna help fill me in (and others in this area?) :)

@Toaks

There is a lot more on SW/games side, from top of head which you not include in your list:

SW: Codbench, pFTP, Filer, db101, QT, pygame, lodepaint, amifig, 32bit icon editor, scetchblock (in progress) and others.

Games: Gish, Lugaru, awesome games from amiboing.de (4 at moment), Cube, Zaz, AlienBreed, Warzone2100, Giddy3, Sqrxz and Sqrxz2, Flare, Epiar, Exult, Battle for Wesnoth and others.

Also you as old demoscener will be in interst to know that we port Uprough's music disk engine (check os4depot/demo/music), as well as "panarama" engine (that mean diskmags HUGI, latest ShowTime and EuroChart are avail on os4, check os4depot/magazine), as well as some good demos from Traction (os4depot/scene/traction).

Btw, for now work on next Hugi issue is going on, and i will made aos4 version as well (that also will include some amiga specific articles). Check video of issue36 on os4 in action: video1 and video2

I will add LoView at the utilities list :)

Also a question...what are you hw? still A1XE?

@Tuxedo
Offtopic, but : didn't you think lately to swith to C and make a LoView on C ? Can be the same crosscompile of course beetwen all amigalike oses, and can have all the pluses of C/C++ program.

I would of course suggest:

iBatch
image batch processing/renaming tool incl. EXIF support

MUIBase + FinalWriter

ADRipper (MP3 ripping from CD)
ArtEffect
FryingPan + MakeCD
TuneNet (Soundplayer)

AmigaAmp which is native os4 and very good.

@Kas1e

oh and, nah, demo scene doesn't interest me any more, but i will check it out.

PFtp (updates)
Filer
db101
Qt SDK

-----------------------------


@Geograph

IBatch
MUIBase
ADRipper

will add them.
The rest i know of and have not been updated the last couple years right?
Fryingpan went opensource before i left but i guess nothing has come out of that?

Thanks Geograph!

------------------------------


@Tuxedo

loView, will add.

I have a A1XEG4,SAM440 + an broken a1c and waiting for an x1k.

Thanks!

--------------------

@antique

AmigaAmp , Will add.

Thanks Antique, thought we got that ages ago, was it just a fix*/patch the one we got many many years ago, or was that Amplifier perhaps?

OT: Hey Tuxedo I sent you a PM on here.

Click that obscure option along the top that reads User Menu *glances over at site designer*

@Toaks

thakns for reply

@kas1e

I thought on that seomtime but I hate C/C++ a bit because wasnt so fast learning as Hollywood... :P
Also tought on PoertablE, atm however I pref wait for future Hollywood rleases :)
Also becasue I've some other project(s) i my mind that Hollywood fit perfectly :)

@Toaks

Not an important project, but i'm working on an playlisst creator program. To let you make your own playlists for use with amigaamp. Not sure if anyone would be interested in such program though!

@antique

isn't that included in the package from the beginning?
Btw, i will try it but i have been using Tunenet for years now and like that a lot

@toaks

You can make playlists but you can't(afaik) change the playlist order,like moving songs up and down in the playlist. That is one thing i want to add.

@Toaks
Quote:

Mm... none of them "updates", i port all of them in last year, there is:

Cube. Here is Video

Alien Breed. Here is Video

Warzone. Here is Video

As about Exult i a bit suck with name, it was Pentagram (ultima8) what i mean.

prism2.device updated to support WPA/WPA2

@Chris

yeah i saw that!, but still only type b networks or?

Will add.


@Kas1e

Cube was ported by someone else before i went away, i remember playing it, it was not as fast as yours and it was buggy. (was it spotup?, capehill.. i don't remeber)

Warzone i started porting many years ago and it worked a little but i gave the sources to someone else who made it run pretty good. yours seem to run really good as seen in the video, thanks!.

Ultima 8??? wow, must install right away.

Quote:

Only 802.11b; the cards are incapable of supporting anything higher.

That's fine until my broadband speed gets doubled this/next year!

Quote:

HMM, maybe i should dig up my card again but last i tried it (before i moved) it didnt work with my wireless router and i didnt use WPA protection.

will give it a try tonight.

@ToAKs
While I haven't finished these yet, I think they are in a usable state:
PictureAlbum beta (fairly unique!)
FolderSync2 beta (even more unique!)
PortablE r6 beta (a major improvement over previous releases - for examples see here.)

Plus RunInUAE is now pretty nice IMHO, and also comes with AmigaOS4.1 as a contribution now.

@Toaks
Quote:

Yeah, i remember now too that someone else trying to port it few years ago, but it wasn't released as have bugs reading of Z-value because of our minigl limitations (by the same reassons it wasn't released for morphos as well, as tinigl have the same limitation). But i found some guy on that cube-related forums, who rewrite necesary part of code for me, and as result all is fine.

@ChrisH

i use your tools quite a bit so i forgot to add them :O, added them now (so this thread will be good for others too)

@kas1e

Very nice!, looking forward to kick ass on fellow Amiga players in Cube soon
