Basically it would just involve capturing some screen shots from various points in the game and using AmigaVision to present the screens, with commentary explaining it. I would basically be just a way to let people see what Bard's Tale II, for instance, looks like. I hope to have it ready in time for the next meeting of our user group (Feb 5), so that we can use it at the computer show coming up here in Springfield. If it turns into anything worth looking at, I'll make it available. (Don't hold your breath, though, as this will be my first attempt at using AmigaVision for anything.) -- Wally (uunet!pallas!wally or wally@athenanet.com) "Signature needed. Apply within."

Amigavision seems to have the slowest text reader anywhere? I wonder why C= put that text reader. Even on the A3000, the reader is so slow! It's slower than anything I have seen. It's not workable even on the A3000. I know I can use other text readers, but I need the interface to be consistent with a program I am working on. May be I am doing something wrong! Can anybody help me!!! Also what's the 900 number for the support line! Thanks

After finally FINALLY getting my AmigaVision bird demo done, I've put it into hubcap's incoming area (ab20 wasn't home tonight.) That's hubcap.clemson.edu (a list here says it's 130.127.8.1, though I don't use IP addresses and can't confirm it), in /pub/amiga/incoming/MULTIMEDIA/VISION.FLOWS as the files birdnet1.lzh birdnet2.lzh birdnet.readme Details like character case may change ... but the VISION.FLOWS directory was otherwise empty as of last night, so it won't be hard to find. Use binary transfer, as usual. You'll notice it's two main files. They're not equal in size - the first one fills a whole disk when un-lharced, and the second one is about 40% full (details on unpacking are in the readme file, of course.) If you can't get to hubcap with anonymous ftp, remember the mailserver method at bitftp and elsewhere (after my own request in comp.sys.amiga.introduction, the detailed info has been reposted there.) For those of you who go pick up BirdNet, I would be REAL happy if you could skim the BirdNet.doc file and send back some opinions to me or this newsgroup (depending on how specific your comments are to the particular flow.) Enjoy! (Oh - BTW, in case you want to know what it is before you read the readme... it's a sample multimedia birdwatcher's book, all of 8 birds...;^)) -- Robin LaPasha |Keeper of the Amiga ruslan@ecsvax.uncecs.edu |Hypermedia Mailing List
