EvilCensor · 22 October 2008, 14:43

Have some apparantly rare ones for you - though I'm gonna start with Ozarks - The Seven Cities of Gold (EA) and see if it's okay with you guys.

It's a rar'd file that's 69mb and contains *.pspimage format files (Paint Shop Pro) of the large old style flat square box:

Front
Back
Inside (left and right sides)

Summary Card

And scanned instruction manual (all pages)

If this format isn't usable please let me know and I'll convert it or rescan for you.

CodyJarrett · 22 October 2008, 14:46

Thanks - that format is fine.

EvilCensor · 22 October 2008, 14:59

Thanks for letting me know - 4 minutes remaining.. will scan Halley Project, The: A Mission In Our Solar System - do you want all pages of manual and inserts - box has a whole heap of stuff?

CodyJarrett · 22 October 2008, 15:04

Yes please.

Seven Cities + Project Halley scans not added yet?

Do I need to rescan?

CodyJarrett · 02 November 2008, 20:40

No, thanks, I've processed them now.

IShar 3 - MAC CD release

fryguy · 03 November 2008, 13:56

I've sent a scan of the swedish Hugo manual a while ago. I bought it on Tradera, but the envelope was open and the disks were missing when i recieved it :/

And the seller wouldn't even pay me half of the sum back, he should have used more tape on the envelope :/

mailman · 13 November 2008, 12:09

I've uploaded on FTP given at the beginning of this thread some material for some poilish games. I hope HOL will find it useful.

CodyJarrett · 13 November 2008, 12:13

Thanks!

mailman · 13 November 2008, 12:28

I'll put there some more stuff later.

ricky500 · 13 November 2008, 17:55

What format/size do you want want screenshots in?

CodyJarrett · 13 November 2008, 23:13

PNG and 320x256 is the standard, although screens can be bigger if larger resolutions or screen sizes are involved:

http://hol.abime.net/hol_faq.php?section=contributions

Screens are centred vertically and there's a theoretical maximum of 100 per game.

Chain · 14 November 2008, 07:11

upped 2688 - box, disk, 373 - box, 2984 - disk

robotriot · 16 November 2008, 22:28

I uploaded some scans for Hellowoon to the FTP.

gogoac · 13 February 2009, 10:40

Does it make sense to scan (and upload) these thing?

- Winter Supersports (Manual; needed for Password-Protection)
- Theme Park (German manual)

- Winter Supersports (Diskscan; its a different disk than the one in HOL)
- Rock & Roll (Diskscan; also a different one)

CodyJarrett · 13 February 2009, 10:54

Yes please.

gogoac · 13 February 2009, 14:48

Well, things with Winter Supersports manual are going well, although I need some time for it. Theme Park manual will take longer - its not easy to scan and it has about 70 pages.

Just found out that the Rock & Roll diskscan is already in HOL...

Heres my diskscan for Winter Supersports (Width=320):

Is it okay?

gogoac · 14 February 2009, 23:44

I uploaded diskscan and manual in jpeg to HOL Server. I dont know if the images are to big? Let me know. Besides, the manual is a bit boring, just text and no nice pictures.

mai · 05 July 2009, 17:54

@ HOL-team:
Did you collected many information i have posted in the past.
There are many information for games, whose entries are not updated until now(i have posted month ago).
It is possible, that this information disappears into the depth of this forum.
I have noticed, that a thread without replys of any members, is not a good situation.
For example:"Sensible Soccer v1.0" thread
there was also the danger, that this information disappeas in the depth of the forum, after two month the discussion starts again with many members involved, and then something happened.

In fact, i would like to know, if its worth to try to support this indeed fantastic HOL database.
Maybe this kind of support (i have done) is not important enough.

CodyJarrett · 06 July 2009, 11:21

Thanks for your updates mai.

If you've got a lot of small updates it's best to gather them together and email them to the HOL team or to me directly.

I'll check the forums for any data fixes that haven't been done.

fryguy · 10 December 2009, 14:27

Sent contact message on HOL with link to Obsession disk and box scans.

mr.niceguy · 29 December 2009, 13:06

Well, I have a lot of boxed games here where Boxscan/Diskscan or something else is already missing on hol.abime. But I really don't know how to scan those missing things, as I've got no hardware for that

Joe Maroni · 29 December 2009, 21:24

don´t you know someone who could have a scanner ???

if you like i would scan them for you, but i live 200 km far away from you..

MrX_Cuci · 29 March 2010, 21:59

Upping James Pond 3 CD32 manual and that F.I.5.H. briefing dossier as advertised here: http://hol.abime.net/pic_preview/man...87_manual4.gif I seem to be missing 3 briefing pages though

fryguy · 29 March 2010, 22:29

Scanned the box of Carcharodon: White Sharks and sent a while ago..

MrX_Cuci · 03 April 2010, 18:21

Is Push over manual needed?

fryguy · 12 April 2010, 13:06

Sent scans of Rick Dangerous Arcade Action release.

Asking For Some Help with HOL Screen shots...

Hello - I was wondering if anyone could lend a hand with grabbing some screen shots from the PD and Shareware games that are occasionally re-discovered in my thread... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=47661

I think that each game discovered should receive an entry into the Hall of Light with as much detail and as many screen shots as possible.
In this way the authors who kindly donate their games are rewarded by seeing their work show-cased along side other classic Amiga titles.

I will continue to track down and contact the authors, hunt for the games and collate the information for the HOL entry - I am asking for someone to help do just the screen shots - I cant keep asking Cody and TCD to do them as they both have many other duties within EAB.

It would only be every so often - I don't find that many games!

If anyone can help please either post here or PM me and I can tell you which game entry we are working on at present.

Thank you

Peter

Here are some general guide lines to do with HOL Screen shots...

http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=186800&postcount=1

amigapd · 06 December 2010, 23:02

I could potentially help with the screenshots as long as the game can be run with an emulator - Are there paritcular file formats the screen images have to be in?

TheCyberDruid · 06 December 2010, 23:05

640x512 (use windowed mode), no filters, PNG will be generated by WinUAE anyway. Pretty easy huh?

Also have a look here : http://hol.abime.net/hol_faq.php?section=contributions (use the FTP for your uploads and create a folder with your name there)

amigapd · 08 December 2010, 02:22

I ve attempted to load some images I have taken for Public Domain games beginning with A as I am in the process of going through my disk images in a logical manner - let me know if they are ok and that I loaded them ok - if so I will add more as I go through the disks.

TheCyberDruid · 08 December 2010, 06:55

Hmm, they aren't in 640x512, so it's a bit hard to tell if they're okay regarding filter settings. Also I'm not sure what we should use those single screens for. Have a look at this thread : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=52303 and especially this post : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=675167#post675167
So if you could at least make a 640x512 title and ingame screenshot with the info 'form' filled out, we could add them to HOL. Maybe pick some that are really worth a play

amigapd · 08 December 2010, 10:16

That makes sense - I had problems saving screen images from WinUAE -I will try again this weekend and see if I can get them to work.

I will clear out the files I ve uploaded and resubmit only those which I think are worth playing.

TheCyberDruid · 08 December 2010, 10:20

Thanks

If you need some help with getting 640x512 screenshots, feel free to PM me

Peter · 17 December 2010, 19:27

I am struggling to get screen shots from WinUAE - which buttons do you press? - I thought it was "end" and "print screen"
I'm finding the whole process a bit beyond me...
I'm not very good with Winuae, even when I get things up and running I only have a laptop and getting games to run and trying to grab screen shots with 3rd party software turns into a very "fingers and thumbs" bloody nightmare to be totally honest... I also still cant work out how you can get shots from later stages in games either... if it's a case of playing the games through to the end I will be here till next Xmas!

At this stage I am tempted to say, I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses - I am obviously more inclined to get better results contacting authors - I think someone with more experience of winuae or with better facilities may have to be the screen shot Guru.

TheCyberDruid · 17 December 2010, 19:35

Go to the 'Paths' panel and check where the 'Screenshots' entry points to. There you'll find the screenshots you've taken with End + PrtSc
