Scene Storm Compilation CD

Phiber · 01 December 2002, 03:07

Any of you lurkers here have an idea where this compilation CD could be found?

I've heard that it's probably one of the best scene related CD around...

CodyJarrett · 01 December 2002, 09:51

It was on an Amiga Format issue...

I'll get it in a couple of weeks, unless someone else has it.

Well then..

How about doing a big favour to all of us and make a bin/cue image of it and uploading it to BippyM's or KombatSanta's FTP-Sites??

I have just made a .bin file of the scene storm cd...

any ip for the upload ?

Well you could PM BippyM or KombatSanta for a personal account on their servers.. They will provide the necessary info..

Speaking of scene CD's, there is a DVD with the best PC demos which have just been released:

This project is very cool, the dvd is made by scene people so please don't divx it

If they sell enough of it they have promised another one with the best amiga demos.

I`ve got volume one...
I bought it because they claimed it was made "in association with spaceballs"...
How funny! We`ve never even spoken a word with these guys :-D

LOL.. thats kinda funny. Did you sue them?

useless/spb · 15 December 2002, 08:35

We`re not americans, you know ;-) Hehe!
Just kidding!
Anyway.. I remember we sent them a mail, just for fun, actually.
No-one replyed, though.. hmm.. strange!?

But I think it says a lot about Digital Candy promotion policy?

CHiEF · 02 March 2003, 17:40

hehe!

I managed to pick my copy up for £3 (what a bargain!) from http://www.powerc.com . I don't know if they have any left but maybe its worth a try?

heh,

for what it's worth, i was a regular user of Digital Candy BBS around the time they released the 'Scene Storm' CD, and I'm sure they asked _someone_ from Spaceballs before releasing it. I will agree, however, that they weren't particularly known for their association with Spaceballs (DCS, was it? They were Mono WHQ when we started the group.),

So, yeah, it is a slight case of someone 'tacking on' a famous group's name to get a bit more publicity. seems weird in some ways, cos they were easily the biggest demo-scene-only BBS in the UK at the time.

great CD, tho :P

Ok, almost six months after the first post made by me on this thread... there is NO CD-IMAGE ANYWHERE ON THE FTP's YET! *GRRR*

CodyJarrett · 11 May 2003, 08:03

I'm making a CloneCD image of it - is that format okay?

cv643d · 11 May 2003, 16:54

Where can we leech it ?

CodyJarrett · 11 May 2003, 17:03

It's about 524Mb - I'll let Phiber download it from my FTP and then he can spread it onwards...

Phiber · 20 May 2003, 08:00

Got it!

Thanks, CodyJarrett

Next, i will split the file into 20 megabyte .rar chunks and create an sfv-signature file for it before sending it onwards...

Edit:

Aeh.. and ofcourse the ftp's i'm trying to upload it to were offline..

well, you'll just have to wait a little bit longer then..

And on another note.. seems i'll have to re-do the filecheck thing again, since i found out that crc32 doesn't work well on files over 15 megabytes... why you ask? simple mathematics, crc32 does't have enough bits to cover the whole 20 megabyte file..

here's a snip from a .sfv FAQ:

You see, 32 bits gives us 4,294,967,296 bit combinations, while simple 15meg file has of them: 5,287*10^3084 (thats in scientific notation, it means the number has 3084 digits)

as you can see there are many different 15meg files and there is a possibility that our CRC32 will generate same code for two completly different files..

Just to be on the safe side, i've decided to search for a utility that does MD5 checksums for the files..
