#New DeluxePaint?
Message #42356
Hey folks, so if you were expecting a new DPaint. What kind of features do you think should be in the product? Just doing a little user research. All feedback is welcome. Since I'm not on CIS too often, please cc: me at oguzman@ea.com. More to follow later…. Orland Guzman,…
There's Always DeluxePaint II Enhanced. Versions 2.4 Comes with a convert utility that converts to and from several formats. On The shareware side, Graphics Workshop for Windows works very well, as others have mentioned. Orlando guzman, EA Creativity
Upgrades can be ordered from EA at 1-800-245-4525 I believe the price is $50.00, plus shipping and taxes, and all that good stuff. DeluxeMusic 2.0 is supposed to ship the 2nd or 3rd week of September. It was supposed to have shipped already, but there was a little materials glitch,…
I'll try to break it up as you suggest, but I may not be able to for legal reasons. I will check though. The release date is currently the 2nd or 3rd week of Sept. (how's that for specific) 🙂 OGUZMAN@EA.COM
I'll be officially posting a complete demo version sometime in the next 2 weeks, and maybe including the stand alone player as well. You are right about the distribution disk, we only granted Amiga Format permission to distribute the demo, knowing of course that that wasn't going to stop the…
#Dpaint 4.1 is Available!
Message #18718
Deluxe Paint Version 4.1 is now available from Electronic Arts. Enhancements and Improvements include: – Scalable Font Support under ADOS 2.0 (Direct Scaling from Program) – Full Screen AnimMorphs (limited by amount of available memory) – Palette Improvements (color markers, and extended color selections) – Improved Performance of Several Brush…
What kind of configuration do you have? I have never heard of this error. Have you done the proper assigns as listed in the manual? What happens when opening from the workbench as opposed to the CLI? (It shouldn't matter, but try it). When you load it from disk what…
We are aware of this problem, and are currently looking to have it fixed. No dates on when a revision will be available, as we are gathering other problem reports. I will post a message on this forum when there is a date to announce for the rev. Thank you…
Roy, I'd be interested in hearing what you don't like about the new color mixer. What in other programs (which ones) do you like better, and why? Thanks, Orlando/EA:MultiMedia
I also said that they may have changed the policy for this, and the best thing to do is to call and find out exactly what the policy is. Like I said before, even at $7.50 you're getting a bargain, DOS 2.0 compatability, extreme overscan, and new file requesters. I…
Yes, there is an upgrade path for Dpaint II owners as well, but I am not sure how much it is. Call our Direct Sales Dept. at 1-800-245-4525 they should be able to tell exactly what it is. Orlando/EA:HQ
DMCS Supports the adding of Text using standard amiga fonts to your scores, there is a section on Adding Lyrics in the manual, look up in pages 2.31 and 2.31, there is also additional information on page 3.29. Doesn't she have the manual? Or she wanting to do something with…
Betty, Dpaint IV is scheduled to ship sometime in September, the Software is finished and being built. Upgrade price will be $67.00 and retail price for new owners will be $179.95, with a street price lower than that, I would imagine. There is a free 2.0 update for current Dpaint…
Since I no longer work in customer support I would suggest calling in and getting it straightened out. Update should be free, unless they've changed the policy in the last two weeks. (I've been on vacation) Either way it's still a bargain, DOS 2.0 compatability, Extreme overscan, and new file…

DPaintIII
Message #10008
Yes, that would include those willing to write DMCS utilities. I'll try to keep you posted with what is going on, there probably won't be any movement on this until the end of the year, DPaint IV is currently occupying all of our resources. Orlando/EA:Multi-Media
Call CATS (Commodore Amiga Tech Support) 215-431-9100. The IFF docs are also published in the Amiga ROM Kernal Manual. Besides, I would think the IFF docs, would be here on CIS somewhere buried in a Library. Ask one of the SYSOPs if they know. I hope you can salvage your…
Without knowing the file format intimately, I would not be able help you in this case. If dpaint is telling you the file is corrupt, then there is something wrong with the structure. If you can find out what got corrupted and somehow modify it in some editor, then you…
A DOS 2.0 compatible version of DVIDEO III should be available soon, it has already passed QA testing and is in duplication now. I will post a message when it is available from our warranty dept. Orlando/EA:HQ

Dpaint & A3000 is here!
Message #6261
Sorry you missed it, I posted it several weeks ago. Besides the DOS 2.0 compatability, the only changes were a Max. Overscan option, and new file requester. (lists all devices currently mounted or assigned) Orlando/EA:HQ
Chris, Good suggestions to Bill. Bill, You should also be able in pixmate to make color 0 the darkest color and color 1 the lightest color. This will ensure a contrast for the menus and toolbox in DPIII, as the Default is usually Black for color 0 and beige or…
Animfill is exactly as you described it it will do a fill throughout the animation. Just choose the fill tool, hold down the Left-Amiga(Commodore) Key, and fill away. Again this is an added feature to version 3.21
Latest version is 3.21, soon to be 3.25. 3.21 fixed some obscure problems with certain hard drive controllers, as well as some other things. There is a readme file on one of the disks to tell you exactly what was fixed. Animfill was a feature that was added as well.…
Alex, as I replied to your first message, the easy way to do this is to just update to the latest version of DPaint III. You probably have version 3.01… There is no charge to update your disks, just send us your originals. Orlando/EA:HQ

In version 3.21 of Dpaint III in the Prefs menus there is a setting called UL coords I believe. This will give you 0,0 at the upper left corner. p.s. Dpaint III version 3.25 (for WB 2.0, and the Amiga 3000) should be available within the next 6 weeks. Two…
He can purchase Deluxe Paint II enhanced, it directly supports the IFF standard, and can export to .PCX as well. Also included is a convert utility that will convert to windows paint format as well. A gallery Slidehow program is also included. Orlando/EA:HQ

Flood players?
Message #219
I can't remeber if I've played that level or not, but I can give you the password for level 38, so you don't have to start at some lower level. It is: HENS BTW, have you picked up any other passwords while playing? I am glad you like it, it…

Projectyle Any Good?
Message #217
Projectyle is basically a well done ice hockey type game, where the playiing area is four to five rooms. You can pick from several teams, like the Sledge Hammers, the Devils, the Vectors, etc. It is very well done graphically, and sound wise as well. There are lots of options…

Message #11996
Here is advance information about Deluxe Paint III. First, the new features. – The biggest addition is animation. You can use this in several ways. For example, define a brush, set a distance for it to travel, a rotation, and the number of animation frames to do the movement. This…
EA here. The upgrade should fix your problems with the RAM expansion and also the coexisting of WB with DMCS, but if you could just list for us your System Configuration, i.e. WB version, Amiga Model#, RAM expansion being used, etc.. If you would like a quicker response to your…
Gene, No problem with the art disk file, but don't send in the entire disk. Just a letter stating that you want the file — and include a disk that we can put the building brush file on. We'll be glad to send it back with the file. Happy painting!…
Gene, It appears that Amazing Computing made a mistake. We do not know who they talked to or how they got their information, but from what I understand, we are asking for a retraction. There is no upgrade available such as they mention in their blurb. If you presently own…

When we tested DMCS on the 2000, we used the internal drive and a df2: and it worked fine. Nothing bizarre. ToddT (EA Customer Service)
Michael, It sounds as if you have a bad signature track on your DMCS disk. What I suggest you to is contact our Warranty Department about replacement of your replacement. But before you do that, you might want to try to run DMCS on another Amiga to make certain that…

No, it's just that we've gotten burnt too often in the past by promising stuff months in advance, having the software slip, and then having folks complain about "where is it? You promised!". We're still hearing about folks bitching because "Return to Atlantis" is still being worked on. Jeff J.…
