Site update! - A few (IPF only) games released...

[fiath]

Go look: http://www.caps-project.org

Nice!

I won't be happy until my Cavitas dump has been done, though! :)

[killergorilla]

OMG. A few IPF releases?

That is a hell of a lot of work. Nicely done.

Is there any way of listing all of the releases that have the scans?

It's just that I want to keep track of when the scans are released so that I can keep a complete set of all the full releases (not just ipf) and it's gonna be a pain checking through the whole list just to see any changes.

Or is this going to be put on the news page or something.

[fiath]

I think we will start announcing scan releases on the front page, so I guess yes. But your right, we should put something in to give you this functionality on the release page.

[killergorilla]

aw fanks.

you caps guys are so kind.

[IFW]

...and so is everyone who have contributed! :)
Thanks goes to all of you, you know who you are! :D

Actually the release count is ... (self-censored) once processed, that is a reference to a claim someone said about caps recently :rolleyes

Ok, I won't forget, but it has a custom cell density protection, directly made for that game.
Anyway... since releases are a "bit faster" now... ;)

...and TG now knows (or at least gets close to it) what I meant on you owe me my complete holiday! :D

[fiath]

Slow down man, I can't keep up! ;)

[DPainter]

Awesome! And to think it might have been 20 years before we saw all these if scans were required! Thanks again, CAPS! :)

[IFW]

Only one thing I ask in return: please do the scans for the games released. For the latest guide see our site.
Before doing anything wait for the database update about "scan status" (coming soon) so everyone knows what do we have, in progress etc.

:shocked A few releases ... ?

Oh my god, that's great... And so many german games. And all the lucasarts goodies...

Thanks !

@Cody
They have also forgotten my Millenium 2.2 dump... :( :)

[fiath]

No we haven't! :)

We are trying to sort out the nearly 9Gb's of disk images we have. IFW is doing a stelling job shifting through them. We decided to start at the beginning and go through them one by one. Well, he is...

There are a lot to get through, we have been doing this for two years remember! :) But you will get your Millenium 2.2, and now, I am quite sure it won't be long.

Maybe not today (this release batch), maybe not tomorow (the next release batch), but soon, and for the rest of (history).

[CodyJarrett]

For anyone who is wondering what Cavitas is...

The only reason I it is that the original is very uncommon, there is no working crack and it's still to be WHDLoad'd - so few people have actually played it and it's high up on the list of rare Amiga games!

2957

I would like to point out that some time ago, I stood in the pouring rain on a mountaintop and said:

"I will never stop until Cavitas is saved and available for the world to play again! As God is my witness, I vow to do this thing and to hassle anyone necessary, whether they are CAPS, WHDLoad, King, Queen or President!"

[nnever2000]

Please, someone tell me where to find tower assault, please, please, please, please (I contribute with t2 scans, please im a good boy), please

[fiath]

Sorry nnever2000, but you are not allowed to post requests here. If you can dump the game somehow, we can give it to you - otherwise you will have to wait for it to turn up somewhere... Anything else would be risking CAPS to legal hassle, something we are not prepared to do.

Actually (as I have said in the mail to you - not sent yet because it is still on my PDA) I think your games have not been processed yet because they have no info on whether they are retail/budget etc. IFW can correct me if I am wrong. This is certainly true for some of the stuff I submitted back when the dumping tool was command line only. I assume it was the same for you.

Anyway, you will have to ask him to be sure...

[CodyJarrett]

All the files that I submitted have distinguishing info in the filenames - if there is none, then it's a full price release.

There was only one release of Cavitas.

[IFW]

Seems everyone missed about Cavitas: "Ok, I won't forget, but it has a custom cell density protection, directly made for that game. "

Actually 3 games use the same protection:
Cavitas, Insector Hecti, Merchant Colony - at least from what I've seen.
Fiath is right I skip and mark every dump without release info.

[CodyJarrett]

Okay, no worries - hopefully the WHDLoad version will be done sometime.

[andreas]

Psygore seems VERY BUSY at the moment.

This 30% WIP state on WHDload main page has stayed there for about 4 months. ;)
I know that I shouldn't even play with that thought of getting this task assigned to another WHD person :)

"This is MY chore, keep your dirty fingers off it, will ya!" :D

[Fjrb]

Killer,

You kinda can see which releases have scans, just hit "scans" column title and go to the last page.

Perhaps the script can be made to do it the other way around, and therefore sort the scans to the beggining, Fiath? :D

It's not a very pleasent workaround but it does work.

[killergorilla]

yeah it's the best they can do for the moment.

god that CAPS group are lazy :D

I suppose it'll HAVE to do

[IFW]

Huh, lazy? Wait for the next update! :D

[killergorilla]

lol.

You know I was only kidding.

Cheers for the last update. 400 is pretty damn impressive.

[IFW]

Nice!

You should be now :D
