hey john... it is you... I add you to the list now...

Until now we got those editors:

Editors (confirmed/half confirmed):
Peter van der Galiën
Jelle Jelsma
Edwin van der Heide
Arjan Bakker
Marcel Delorme
Patriek Lesparre
Jorrith Schaap
Tristan Zondag
Robert Wilting
Johnny Hassink

We need more, because we need a DISK as full as possible.

We've hit the 10... Going great...

Make it just "John", please. I'm a few years older now...

Can't edit... So, here we go again:

Guess the 'diversen corner' is going to be overloaded

Ofcourse. Any idiot could submit to "diversen".
Writing something about -for example- programming in machine language is a totally different thing, you know. Hehehe.

Styling the next 4 received texts... Way to go... Who will follow...

I've send in some texts too Actually, I have two of them in English too, so if you want to set up an English section, I'll send those in too.

Can do the music part...

Cool!

Are you planning an introdemo-scroller-thing with frequencyselector option, or do I read it the wrong way?

Was kinda thinking that way indeed. Very simple scroller with not-so-important text (contents are open to suggestions). But if you have even cooler suggestions, just drop em here.

I'll give you all freedom you need...
Just keep two things in mind:

- Moonblaster Samplekit needs to be loaded before the magazine starts. This won't be a big problem since I make the music for the intro, and will use the same samplekit.
- The palette for the magazine is defined in the loader as well. Keep this in mind.

For reverence, this is the basic loader for DISK7:

10 RESTORE30:FORI=0TO15:READR,G,B:COLOR=(I,R,G,B):NEXT
20 COLOR,0,0:CLEAR200,&H9FFF:BLOAD"DISK.BIN",R
30 DATA 0,0,0,0,3,5,0,7,0,0,5,0,7,6,0,6,5,0,5,4,0,4,3,0,3,1,0,4,2,0,5,3,0,6,4,0,3,7,3,0,5,7,0,4,6,7,7,7:' geachte krakers.... DIT IS DUS HET PALET !!! Zet daar dus maar het palet van je eigen gfx in eikel !!!!

This little loader must be loaded after the intro/frequencyselector and is default entitled DISKEXEC.EXE

Happy coding...


Further things which happened since last update:

13 textfiles are delivered and restyled. Edwin van der Heide, Arjan Bakker and Jelle Jelsma are responsible for that (get yourself in this list be submitting your texts).
Since 60 is the aim of the amount of texts, this means we got some 20% of the total. Some standard texts like preface, colofon and stuff must be added as well, so we still need a little more than 40 txts.

Bifi is working on the intro/frequency selector
Peter van der Galien is working on the magazine header graphics
Edwin van der Heide is working on some kind of extro demo
Jelle Jelsma already finished some tunes

Add yourself... Be creative like you were in the old days...

The samplekit needs to be reloaded every time the replayer is (re)loaded because of the sample addresses. If the whole mag's gonna use the Basic supported replay routine anyway I'll need to work with that one in stead of inserting the replayer in the selector.

As long as I load DISKEXEC.EXE after the selector I don't have to use (or set) the palette in it.

btw. Do correct me if I'm wrong here.

The Magazine has its own replayer (50/60Hz music equalized), it loads the music but doesn't load the samplekit because the samplekit is already loaded in the intro.
Inside the magazine routine the sampleaddresses are (re)defined so reloading is not needed.

If you load diskexec.exe after the demo, everything should go fine.

Okay, loading the sample kit before and running DISKEXEC.EXE after that is the only DISK dependent stuff I need to do...

In that case,I'll implement the replayer in the full code.

If the samplekit is the same, Meits only has to add the address table into the replayer of DISK. The sampledata itself doesn't have to be reloaded again...

Hint Meits.. Hint...

That's what I just said :S
