TEK - a very slight delay 1333 Reads

This just in from Artex....

The realtime strategy game TEK is complete. Well, almost: The distribution agreement has to be signed yet, and the installation software and the manual have to be finished. Thus, the actual sale of the game will be delayed a few more days.

People who have pre-ordered will soon reveive a mail with payment details, and the first copies will finally be available at the end of this month or at the beginning of May, depending on the production speed. Pre-orderers will receive their copies first.

RISC OS CVS 1.11 is released 1172 Reads

After letting it spend an awful long time in quarantine I decided to finally let the CVS 1.11 RISC OS port go. Unfortunately it is only the command line based tool at the moment and not the accompagning GUI which I hope to finish 'soon'.

More information can be found at cvs.riscos.org.

Crystal is here - transparency in ArtWorks! 1895 Reads

MW Software is proud to announce the release of Crystal, the ArtWorks transparency module.

ArtWorks, the best-selling advanced vector graphics package for RISC OS, has received a large number of new features and enhancements over the past years, e.g., the TextArea module adding rotatable multi-column text areas or the BMExport module adding high-quality Sprite and GIF export options.

The new Crystal module is without doubt the most significant update ever produced: Finally, ArtWorks has full transparency support! Crystal offers three types of transparency (Mix, Stained glass, Bleach) and allows you to apply a transparency type and percentage to any ArtWorks object, no matter whether it is a shape, a line of text, a sprite, a text area, etc

Note: A quick picture has been put together by Chris Williams (he of EasyGCC fame) which shows what can be done in a very short amount of time with Crystal..

eQ do it again! 1709 Reads

eQ R&D (http://www.eqrd.net) have launched a new version of both their MPEG video player (!Kino) and StupidPlayer (MP3).

StupidPlayer (unfortunate name!) is a very good MP3 player. While it does not have the advantages of AMPlayer, it does one thing that AMPlayer doesn't - allow decent sound and bitrate audio on the likes of the RiscStation 7500.

Kino is (currently) the only MPEG video player for RISC OS which allows sound to be played as well. It does a bang up job as well!

To use the software, you must download the 32 bit libraries from the RISCOS Ltd website.

NetChess link added to web link area. 1267 Reads

See the Web Links area for the address for the Internet Chess Client for RiscOS - !NetChess.

It's written by the author of !FTPc, Colin Granville, so you know it has to be good.

I have it and want to be able to play more RISC OS users at one of the best games around.

Check it out now!! :-)
