Demo Maniac DOC Files
Hey guys!
Looking around the internet and I am hoping that someone here may have a copy of the various doc files that were supplied with Demo Maniac: Dev Docs for creating Effects Vector Docs (I can only find the German version) As I am learning 68kASM for Amiga I thought this might be a nice aside intro to getting some code chops up... (Also does anyone know if the Demo Maniac Font Convertor was ever finished / released? or what format it is in? I have tried a number of diff exports from Kefrens IFFCONV but to no avail) Thanks for any info! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I seem to think that there were some instructions on one of the LSD doc disks, but I could be mistaken (it was a long time ago) That may be a good place to begin. |

Thanks for the heads up! I have been keen to get back into the disk mags! I still read Defy / CDN as I got a mention when I joined the group (Cydonia)

I have the orginal of this boxed (must be a rarity?). Anyway i've checked and the only thing in there is the user manual which states to get the dev docs to make extra effects required registering the product. Since I bought it from ebay I can't help you there so I guess docs disks are probably going to be the only option as I doubt this program was a big seller.

@BarryB
Nice! How did you go? Get it up and running again? @ElectroBlaster Nice! No extra doc files or the dev stuff pop up anywhere yet? I should have another look… Any clean backups of the disks maybe in the zone sometime? \o/ |

I suppose you are referring to
[ Show youtube player ] ?
If so I might can help. I do not have the source of the Tool itself, but code for some of the effects. You would need Devpac (it might also work with VASM). |

Please find under https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/uoy9e...0y7qdl7of&dl=0 a quick and dirty prepared LHA which contains some effects + a small readme.txt etc. The documentation is in the sources. Sorry, a lot of comments are in German or in very bad English. |

Demo Maniac DOC Files
Wow nice @tron^fr this is amazing!
OK, I have started to translate and reformat the docs! (finally) @tron^fr in the dev doc file: ‘ InLIB_desc.txt ‘ (DemoManiacDev/src/include/DemoManiac/) re. ‘ IL_GetPlaneMem: ’ it says: - Remember to free the planes again! For use, see Effects Is that a missing dev doc called ‘Effects’? Or does that mean to examine the example effects sources to see it in use? Awesome work with the new fonts THEY LOOK GREAT!!!… that would be great to share your work on Aminet too! I would definitely be interested to know of the font conversion workflow too for this documentation… Thanks heaps this is rad \o/ Last edited by aZtOcKdOg; 14 July 2024 at 11:45. |

Demo Maniac DOC Files
I have translated (T) the following docs from the base DemoManiac 218 HDD install and the DemoManiacDev archive:
VECTOR.DOK (T: 99% | rF: 25%) News.txt (T: 100% | rF: 100%) -> News-ENG.txt InLIB_desc.txt (T: 99% rF: 75%) Currently reformatting (rF) the English translations to match the original German formatting (incl line endings, text encoding and actual doc lengths / line numbers match) I am also carefully translating any comments in the source code / includes / etc to accompany the docs and create a (complete) English version of the collection I have here for DemoManiac! ![]() Will keep this thread updated with progress… Last edited by aZtOcKdOg; 25 July 2024 at 13:37. |
