Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1+ CD
Hi!
I'm in the process of making a "full" and "clean" Blitz Basic 2.1 installation that can be easily copied by others to avoid having to install using the BB2.1 Ultimate CD and fixed installer etc. EDIT: Short story shorter, I have updated the Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1 CD, I call it Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1+ CD, creative I know. You should be able to run this install from any folder. Hope you like my Photoshopping skillz btw. :) http://www.gamephase.net/files/linke..._Software).png Get it here: Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1+ (2019)(Acid_Software) (Unzip on Windows/Linux/Mac, then extract LHA in Workbench) ReadMe: Code:
Short: Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1+ CD v1.1 Things I have done so far: 1. Installed BB2.1 using the BB2.1 Ultimate CD and the fixed installer. 2. Installed NewCommandSet from http://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/NewCommandSet. 3. Ran MakeDefLibs. What else should I do? I guess I would need to get a comprehensive collection of libs available, does somebody have such a collection they can share? I will of course share the archive once it is complete, maybe even make a arexx script that creates the needed assigns for blitz2: and blitzlibs: |
Hi,
you could include some kind of ReadMe file saying that MMULib.lha from aminet may be required as well. Please look at my thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=91558. There is a possible explanation to what's going on in the very last post. Some people may encounter same troubles as me (and 2 other user from that thread on REAL amiga) - so I think it is worth mentioning about that program. |

Here is the first version of the automated install script for Blitz Basic 2.1. Currently, BB2.1 is hardcoded to install to the "Blitz2" folder of the system partition. Feedback on how to improve the script is appreciated!
EDIT: I removed this version of the script, I'm currently fixing/updating the Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1 CD instead. Readme: Code:
Blitz Basic 2.1 Ultimate Install v1.0 |
Hey, thanks for doing this. I just tried the installer and noticed a few things you might want to address:
1) I don't believe it allowed the choice of install path. Looking at the script, I found it in SYS:blitz2 - not major but someone may like to install it elsewhere depending on disk space 2) After rebooting, there was an error that reqchange.library needed to be v 6 or higher. I'm testing this on AmiKit XE, and it's version is older so I had to download the latest from Aminet and install 3) On running TED, it couldnt' find a blitz2: assigned path, might want to set that up in the installer. Thanks again! |

I just tried it.
When I start Blitz I get error! unable to open window! snoopdos says: findport ted_rexx1 fail opendev clipboard.device fail hm.. I see I had ted 2.24 and with it it works. I see it tokenizing some commands I didn't have. double hm... in os3.9 it works but in 3.1 and 3.1.4 it gives that error... |

I have tried installing it three times now, but end up with the same issue during installation: https://i.imgur.com/GkBBkhC.png

If you are planning future changes I would recommend including Mildred C2P library with guide and examples: http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/mildred/ |
Hi,
Yes I've tried installing it and it seems to crash on installing documentation. Installing it in WinUAE, A1200, kickstart 3.1.4 and rom 3.1.4 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4az5w0xkd7...48-06.mp4?dl=0 |
Just wanted to say thanks (once again) MickG as decided to upgrade the debugger on my Blitz install (I have never used the debugger - ever) and completely messed up the install so nothing would compile! Remembered this so used your install and now have a working install and new debugger working. Much easier than sorting it out myself!
Cheers matey! |

Does this work on ACA500+ equipped 1 MB chip A500 ? (3.1 kick ?)
|
(Whoops! Wrong thread.)
|
Just a quick THANKS for producing this! Have managed to find time to get back into Amiga dev and have used this UBB2.1+ package extensively now. Much better than doing battle with my old BB2.1 floppies on my A1200!
|
I'm going to give this a try.
