Albion

alexh · 28 January 2005, 01:23

I was curious to know where the screenshots of Albion came from.

I've seen the later ones, the demo is posted on Aminet.

But the ones which have the same graphics as Albion with the character screen.

Is this a different demo? Anyone got it available? If it's the same demo how do you access the other half?

wow, the gfx looks really really nice ! Sad the project was canceled.

I must have on old cd 2 demo of this wonderfull project

I had been very impressive by this gfx and 3d engine...

In my memory the both demo was on french cd issue (amiga dream or amiga concept)

If you can find them and put them in the Zone I would appreciate it. Albion was programmed and pixelled by Ex-Thalion people, and seeing how I run the Thalion Webshrine

I will try but to help me in thus research, do you have the year of this project? (I have very much issues CDs)

alexh · 31 January 2005, 19:32

I would guess 1994

Look in TheZone!

I have not tested it
but in my memory it's a bit fastidious to install (assign to do)

but you must have Dungeon level and wonderfull external level (without wall collision)

alexh · 01 February 2005, 15:21

That is the one I have, from the Aminet.

How do you access the world level? I can only access the dungeon level.

Aminet demo seems to be the same of my cd issue

NORMALY WITH GOOD ASSIGN you can

I will try soon (in my memory, I had some difficulty to run world level.... but I had result it)

Bump

I too would like to know where the HOL screenshots came from; and how to access the "world level" from the Aminet demo?

DamienD · 31 May 2020, 14:36

Ok, found a place that has the Amiga screenshots i.e: http://albion-hra.wz.cz/?page=galerie

...but were these ever in some Amiga archive?

I've translated the German text from Albion to English:

Quote:

We finally did it! Here is the old state of development of Albion on the Amiga. It is nothing more than a dungeon routine without Collision query and with some bugs. There are definitely better ones these days Techniques on the Amiga, but this routine has been for 2 1/2 years old. After unpacking the file, there are several executables Programs. Just try them all, the best version is the "DDT_MCP" (DDT = the third part ;-)).

CAUTION: We cannot guarantee the functionality of this Apply pre-alpha version. Please don't make us do it responsible if the 3D routine should crash and yours Unsaved work of 8 hours with traveling into the grave ...

TIPS: It is controlled with the mouse, directly in the 3D window. With the Cursor keys can influence the fog effect. The files were created with packed into the LHA program.

I can only get "Test_Dungeon" to run... also it doesn't need any of the folders / other files.

If I try to run "DDT_MCP" I get:

If I try to run "DDT_test" or "DDT_test_alt" or "DDT_test_m1_ger_Sichtw" or "DDT_test_m3_ger_Sichtw" I get:

I've tried creating assigns for "Omnidata" and "Omnifiles" but no difference...

SnoopDOS doesn't give any clues either...

DamienD · 31 May 2020, 16:20

When viewing the file "DDT_MCP" it seems to be looking for "Work: DDT/Various/Temporary/Small_MCP.s" which is nowhere in the archive...

DamienD · 31 May 2020, 16:34

Thread renamed from "Question: Albion Screenshots?" --> "Albion".

Also moved from the HOL contributions section --> the project.aGTW section; where hopefully it gets more exposure.

You need to use kickstart 3.0 to be able to run the sections of the demo you're searching for. Screenshots were made with the same aminet demo that is available.

LEGEND!!!; many thanks

...now why didn't I try that??? To be honest I didn't think it would be that simple.

Using "KS 3.0 (A1200)" and also assigning the main directory where files / folders are to "DDT" works perfectly

DamienD · 31 May 2020, 18:19

So now along with "Test_dungeon", these run fine:

DDT_MCP
DDT_test

"DDT_test_alt" just does this:

"DDT_test_m1_ger_Sichtw" and "DDT_test_m3_ger_Sichtw" both just do this:

Good job Damien, i’ll have to update to include these.

DamienD · 31 May 2020, 19:10

Ok, here's a nice self-booting / bare-bones .HDF that I slapped together for people

Just use an AGA (2MB Chip & 4MB Fast RAM) configuration with a "KS ROM v3.0 (A1200) rev 39.106 (512k).rom".

@alexh; feel free to host on your Thalion Webshrine

alexh · 31 May 2020, 20:28

Thanks. So all of this was in the old Albion demo on the Aminet? I was only able to get a dungeon to work in the past
