#9594-Zoetrope Deadhead Rif
Message #9640
MovieSetter is a really nifty product. It's main thrust is in its simple interface. I flagged the pan problem when I originally spoke with the designer of the program. He mentioned a couple of ways to get around it (such as using objects rather than a background for the backdrop),…

#9538-Video Production/Amiga
Message #9587
I've had a series 1 for about 2 years and use it constantly. There is some kind of conflict with the driver and DPAINT which I believe is DPAINT's fault since I've seen the same kinds of things happen with the Summagraphics drivers. Yes, I use the thing with Zoetrope,…

They definitely don't use 'em – (I-'88, snakes ). Just to get back to the thread subject, I gave a demo of Zoe at AMUSE last tuesday and showed off a lot of its new capabilities (new as in officially released). If anyone at ANTIC is listening, Pleeeeeze fix the…

Hi Vic, thanks for calling/writing/whatever . I have deluxe paint II. The cut tool is used to cut a brush/etc from your screen. It always seems to hang up the Amiga if I use this, especially if I am too quick, when using the Kurta tablet. I have 1 1/2…

The spell to get the gem on level 14 is on level 7 (the tomb of the firestaff). You must not have looked very carefully on that level.

Help! I have the firestaff, and have killed the dragon on level 14 but the fire demons on 13 are just too tough. I haven't found the (Z??????) spell to extract the gem from level 14 either and the one on the DMMAPS file doesn't work. I hope it's not…

MMM…. I haven't noticed anything in the cieling on level 9, or do you mean the hole from the pit that is on level 10??? Anyway, I think I'm in trouble now because the gem is just beyond the gate, but not on the pit, so I can't get it…

Ray, WordPerfect uses its own drivers. have you looked on the PRINT disk? Surely there is a driver there – it has 400 or more! I really think there is a driver there for your printer. Betty

A couple of S.F. Bay Areans have a cable new show called "Dead Head TV" that is cablecast nationwide to more than 20 cities. The show features thoughtful interviews with deadheads, up-to-date information about the band, reviews and highlights of recent tours, interviews with the band and "family" members, and…

Message #9409
Hint: Do you have a save from _before_ you merged the firestaff with the powergem? (look on your game save disk, there should be a DMGAME.SAV and DMGAME.BAK [or somethiong like that]). If so, you can discover the way to take the merged firestaff to any level you want; the…

If I'm on the right track then I think I'm really in trouble. I finally got the gem through the gate, but it fell short and didn't reach the area of the second pit. It is just beyond the gate right now. The proble is, nothing happened when I did…

It was my understanding that ACBM was the way a file was saved. ACBM is a non-compressed file format. The Amiga BASIC disk is supposed to have an ultility to convert files to this format. Bitplane 1 is black & white? A local Amiga user knew these terms and put…

I just downloaded LABELB.ZOO using QB protocol — no problems at all. The file does unZOO properly. It is a .ZOO file, not a .ARC file. You'll find ZOO in Lib 4 of AmigaTech.

It just occured to me that Flicker Fixer could double as a poor man's (well, rich man's, no poor man's…after the purchase) Polaroid Palette. The thing that makes PP nice is how it fills in the scan lines so it is not obvious you are looking at a slide of…

Thanks, Clint! I yanked myself a copy when it came over usenet a few weeks ago and think that I've also seen it in the libs over in AmigaTech too so as far as I know, I think we're cool. Thanks again for the info, twas good! -John

Think about where the gem would have been if the chest had not been there, and how you got to the chest in the first place. Then "put back the gem".
