Blitz2.lha ???
Message #45488
Hi! Several days ago, I downloaded blitz2.lha from Lib 4 of the AmigaTech Forum. When I decompressed it with Lha, there were three of the files which didn't decompress properly. One of the was a library without which the demo won't run. It won't run any of the demo programs…
#Director
Message #45218
Hi! You and I must be the only ones left, since I've gotten NO other responses to my inquiry either on CIS or on the internet's Amiga multi- media forums. My current project is an interactive artwork, authored with the Director. There's a motion detector, hooked up to the joystick…

#Anyone Using Director2?
Message #45095

C=A2091, 6.1 ROMS + HD
Message #177966
For sale: C= A2091 controller, SCSI, with V.6.1 ROMS and a Quantum 40MB HD mounted. This combo worked pretty well for me until I got a DataFlyer and BIG HD. Sometimes on startup, the computer wouldn't autoboot from the HD. When this happened, I turned off the machine and turned…

Odell, I don't know if they're still in the Amiga business, but there used to be an Amiga dealer on U.S.1 down in Woodbridge, VA, not too far from D.C. I know there used to be an Amiga dealer out in the N.W. Maryland area too, maybe Germantown or Gaithersburg…
#A3000 Startup?
Message #168315
I just bought a used A3000 and decided to completely reinstall the system software on its hard drive. That seemed to go okay except now, when I start the machine I get a momentary dark gray screen and a message about loading Kickstart 2.0…Rebooting, then everything okay. Bootup seems a…
MouseMovement
Message #42989
I would like some advice on a general programming question. I'll probably be attempting this with The Director2 by Right Answers group. If there are any of you out there who use this program, I'd be interested to hear from you. There's a function in the program called IFMOUSE. This…
Thank you sir. I have called M. Halvorsen and others at Impulse a couple of times about this to no avail. Mike's "answers" were in- credibly vague and the suggestions of others simply didn't work. Your suggestion about using some sort of conversion, batch-processed by AD Pro or another image…
#GenlockingImagine
Message #43291
I'm looking for help genlocking Imagine 3.0 rendered images over live video. Whenever I render Imagine images with default settings, the background color (a black rectangle) is assigned to color 1 instread of color 0, making it opaque to a genlocked video signal. Has anyone had any luck using Imagine…
I'd suggest trying to get a copy of Understanding Imagine 2.0 published by Apex, the company that produces Essence Textures. They may even be planning an update to 3.0. I found it very helpful. Stay with the program. It does take awhile to learn your way around, especially if you…
Genlockable Images

#Reading in files
Message #42147
Trying to read information in from a file using fgetc(), I get all the information into arrays, then the system crashes. There is more than enough space in the arrays, but I'm getting a character displayed on my monitor that looks like a "y" with an umlaute overtop. Sometimes I…
#C Help
Message #41701
I am writing some programs to learn C with Lattice 6.50 compiler. In writing some elementary procedures and functions, my programs compile and run but I am getting a cascade of warnings numbered 85, 100 and 161. They all "expect" some prototype I'm not giving them. I think some expect…

#DoubleStarGases
Message #78533
How could I model a double star which, when animated, would show gasses circling one star, flowing to the other and circling it? Any ideas? George Roland
THanks Mike, will try out your suggestion.
I'm sorry. Did you want to sell this monitor?
Gary, That is what I'm looking for. If you decide to piece the equipment out, AND if you can assure me this monitor works in Composite as well as RGB mode, I'd make you an offer of $100.00 for it. I'm not in a tremendous rush, so I can wait…
Gary, Thanks for the info. I certainly understand the desire to sell the whole kiboodle at once, I'd do the same. Let me get just a tad more info. There are basically two kinds of Amiga monitors sold early on. One variety has a darker gray "frame" about an inch…
I'd be interested to know more about the monitor including whether you'd sell it alone? Is it an Amiga model monitor and, since you listed things "as is," does it work in both RGB and NTSC modes? If it's a suitable monitor for my needs, I would be interested in…
