AMOS - are there any survivors? - Page 5

Hungry Horace · 05 August 2007, 23:31

all is good, and the AMOS Factory has now been joined with the PSPUAE network!

you will now be re-directed from http://www.liquido2.com - as the site is now located at http://amos.pspuae.com

i will be getting a submissions section for AMOS programs / code up soon

About games, did you found "Maze Hunter" it's an Amos game I've made in past ... now I work on DarkBASIC Professional that is really similar to Amos Professional on Amiga but on PC Windows ...

Not seen it yet. I'll search for it in a minute and download it. I haven't had a chance to fully examine everything on Aminet yet - only downloaded the old OneLIst archive really. Am busy archiving the Yahoo based AMOS list at present.

No, not heard of Maze Hunter. I have a list of about 30 AMOS made games, with Jet Strike, Valhalla and Base Jumpers among them.

Sure. Is it a slot machine game? I already have a tonne of them, so I guess another one won't hurt!

Well, I never found the help part of AMOS useful even when using on a real Amiga.

BTW do you know about the hidden stuff? Typing in certain names ("Francois", Francois's wifes name and a few other names), putting the cursor under the first letter and then clicking help brings up a hidden message for each one.
Theres about 8 in total. I have them written down somewhere.

Oh, also, BTW BTW I am attempting to play with the copperlist after getting a AMOS program (with ASM files in banks) that turns the copperlist in a binary file and a text file for viewing. Very interesting stuff.

Gotta get to bed now, but will be back in a few weeks (hopefully sooner though).

Ok, downloaded it last night. I do have a problem with some of your demo's though. Some of them come up with the following error message:

"Multi Plot Bank deja reservee, at line xx"

caused by the instruction "Mplot Reserve 192"

There are no banks found with Listbank and I don't know enough about the extension yet to work it out myself

Oh, is there a registered version of the extension still available? The one on Aminet is (according to the text on booting up AMOS Pro) a non-compilable version

Other than that it's a cool extension

Lonewolf10 · 10 August 2007, 22:41

Please ignore that last message.

For some reason your extension is memory hungry. Despite emulating an Amiga 600 with a 68020 CPU, 2MB Chip RAM and 8MB Fast RAM false errors crop up after trying a few of your demo's.

Was this ever fixed?

EDIT:

I have been unable to reproduce the problems after resetting my emu'ed Amiga again. No idea what was causing the problems, so it's not your programs

I never noticed that... but then I happen to have an FPU

I was scratching around the interweb and came across this forum again, I say again because I registered a while back when I was looking around for files to get AmosPro working on WinUAE, but I forgot my login details and had to register again. Doh!

Anyway, I once wrote a pacman clone in AmosPro called 'Munch'. I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of it lurking somewhere. A demo was published on a couple of magazine coverdisks, namely Amiga User International and Amiga Power.

I have the original Amiga Power coverdisk but have no way of converting the disk to an ADF for use with WinUAE. I have no 'real' Amigas anymore.

I would be an avid supporter of any amiga / amos coders database.

It's nice to see (even after all these years in the wilderness) there are still fans of the glorious Amiga.

May her memory live on forever.

Graham Humphrey · 12 December 2007, 21:04

Hello and welcome to EAB

I remember the game you're talking about, I used to really enjoy that, a great little game.

I think I've got the AUI coverdisk somewhere so I'll take a look for you later on

killergorilla · 12 December 2007, 21:06

Hi mate, the full version of Munch is available here for you!

http://amr.abime.net/issue_155_coverdisks

Graham Humphrey · 12 December 2007, 21:10

No it isn't, where's the download button?

12 December 2007, 21:37

Hi and thanks for the nice stuff about my game (my baby). I was really chuffed to get it published at the time, I spent an enormous amount of time writing the code and drawing the graphics (aahhhh DPaint IV) but I only sold a handful of the full three disc version (100 levels!). I even wrote a really cool level designer, but over time I have lost all but the Amiga Power coverdisk and the AmigaFormat magazine that the game featured (Readers Games).

Killergorilla - there is no link to download, but this would only be a 5 level demo and not the full version. Thanks anyway mate.

Graham Humphrey · 12 December 2007, 23:06

I've uploaded the demo version off the AUI disk to the Zone for you

http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=vb_...ezone_faq_item

Shame you've lost all the stuff, I'd love to play the full version.

(Also I don't think it appeared on an Amiga Power disk - was it Amiga Action and AUI, not sure there was any more?)

13 December 2007, 00:26

Graham,

You are right, it was Amiga Action, it's my age

27 December 2007, 01:24

OK, so I found Munch and the 1st levels disc and a friend made them into adf's. I am now gonna try and upload them to the zone.

Wish me luck!

There you go, easy peasy. Now you can play munch again Graham!

Hungry Horace · 27 December 2007, 03:18

since i still take a big interest in AMOS, i dont suppose you still have the source code?

27 December 2007, 03:28

Now that would be nice!

Sorry, source code and level editor gone forever!

Graham Humphrey · 27 December 2007, 11:30

Well done for finding it DiscoDaz

Maybe you could think about putting it on Aminet also?
