Posted on 2002-04-01 23:31 View Profile The move from 4.0 to 5.0 went quicker than expected, so I'm happy to anounce the release of Allegro 5.0! What's new: - New API - Multiscreen/Multiwindow support - DirectX 8 drivers - Video playback and encoding - Merge of FBlend, AllegroGL, DUMB, JGMOD, libnet, GNE, ppcol, AllegroMP3, AllegPeg and PMask. - Speech synthesis/recognition - Removed duplicate API entries (no more masked_blit nor draw_sprite or equivalent) - DOS port was removed due to lack of support for new Bob DirectX 8 drivers Member# 699 - 4D graphics September 2000 - Ports to the X-Box and GameCube. - PHP support Bob - Hardware accelerated mind control - We're better than SDL now. - New distribution format. To save space, we're using LZip compression. zip and tar.gz formats should follow shortly. You can download it right here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alleg/all50.lzip Edit: posted new feature list. -- - Bob [ Webpage | Allegro FAQ | Coding Tricks ] The world is being silently polluted by Dihydrogen Monoxide! Posted on 2002-04-02 00:32 View Profile How well does the X-Box port work? Did Shawn contribute to this or something. No DOS support is a bummer though... 23yrold3yrold Member# 1,134 For some reason this new compression type doesn't work March 2001 for me! Will someone please release a zip version too? 23yrold3yrold -- Chris Barry - finally saw The Matrix. To clarify; I was meant to be impressed, right?

Posted on 2002-04-02 00:40 View Profile Yeah, Shawn dropped by and merged in his X-Box port that he was building the whole time. Bob About the compression, we know of some issues with the Member# 699 decompression program. Hopefully those will be September 2000 resolved soon so we can fully use LZip. Bob -- - Bob [ Webpage | Allegro FAQ | Coding Tricks ] The world is being silently polluted by Dihydrogen Monoxide! Posted on 2002-04-02 01:11 View Profile Chris: You're not extracting it properly. You need to X-G use Kazaa, or else it'll conflict with c:\pr0n and Member# 856 BonziBuddy. There was a feedback doc in this December 2000 somewhere, but I lost it. X-G -- No it isn't. You can tell a fiesta from an escort at a hundred paces not if your blind Posted on 2002-04-02 01:20 View Profile My pr0n folder is on my drive D (my C drive is too small...) Does this matter? 23yrold3yrold But I want Bonzi, because that is going to be my next Member# 1,134 avator. Good guess , btw. March 2001 -- 23yrold3yrold Chris Barry - finally saw The Matrix.

Posted on 2002-04-02 01:26 View Profile Chris: Well, DUH. There's no 'D' in Allegro, of COURSE X-G it won't work. And Bonzi is already too hairy to get a Member# 856 beard. God, he looks like the offspring of Chewbacca December 2000 and the teletubbies on speed. X-G -- No it isn't. You can tell a fiesta from an escort at a hundred paces not if your blind Posted on 2002-04-02 01:32 View Profile This is confusing. I was using mIRC to create the Bob archive...

Posted on 2002-04-02 01:47 View Profile I thought it wasn't done till the summer? But that's MindCode cool! Is Shawn breaking contract by making an x-box Member# 2,031 port? March 2002 I can't get lzip to work. Can someone explain it to MindCode me. ______________________________________ Frag The Planet Posted on 2002-04-02 01:49 View Profile sicgamemaker lzip stole my idea! but my lossy compression works Member# 1,365 better, you just have to know how to use it Chris. June 2001 its a cool concept and i glad to see allegro supports sicgamemaker it now. _______________________ [Insert signature here] Posted on 2002-04-02 02:09 View Profile Chris: Hm. If IRC, there was a bug in Pr0nloader that X-G made it download teletubby pr0n all the time, thus Member# 856 effectively breaking down Bonzi. December 2000 -- X-G No it isn't. You can tell a fiesta from an escort at a hundred paces not if your blind Posted on 2002-04-02 02:22 View Profile The new version is quite cool. I'm using a multi node quicktime as the menu for my current game right now, which is pretty cool, since you can now script your menus... There seems to be a problem with the sound after using al_video_play_overlay(). After playing a short MPEG, I get some strange distortions with in game audio. But this is just nitpicking. It's great work, and the project converter works like a breeze. After some spellcaster small manual code adjustments, everything worked like Member# 1,493 a charm. September 2001 It's cool that FLI/FLCs are auto converted to MPEG2 if lame is installed. spellcaster The speech API seems not to work correctly. Do I have to install some other packages first? 4d gfx.. hm. While I think it's a cool name, it's a bit misleading. If I understand it correctly it's "just" a bone system which allows for time based modifiers. (Not sure here, I just run the demo...) Nice work. -- Always waiting for a new demo release of Chaos Funk Posted on 2002-04-02 02:26 View Profile Well, for 4d graphics, you tend to lose a lot of the effect, since you're projecting them back into a 2D display. However, with the advent of 3D displays, 4D Bob graphics technology will be developing. Since Allegro Member# 699 already supports 4D graphics, this makes it the September 2000 library of choice for developing the first and best 4D games.

Im running windowze, so can Member# 1,770 somebody actually make a zip file for me? Is this file December 2001 an update from 4.01 to 5? If not, lzip must be hell of a compression algorithm!

Someone, for THE LOVE OF GOD give me a little MindCode help here. Member# 2,031 March 2002 Either that or give me a zip. (I've had an allegro craving since the api proposal, and It must be MindCode filled!) P.S. i hope this aint an april fools joke. ______________________________________ Frag The Planet Posted on 2002-04-02 02:59 View Profile Yves Manuelpillai This better not be a joke, im getting really desperate Member# 1,770 to try the new allegro!

DanTheKat // Dan the Kat A creature Dan has been drawing for a few years has finally made it in avatar form Posted on 2002-04-02 03:00 View Profile I was sure the instructions for un-lzipping were in Bob the LZip FAQ.

Posted on 2002-04-02 03:02 View Profile I never got it to work... I even burnned a lot of my transformers pr0n to a cd-rom. 23yrold3yrold Member# 1,134 -- March 2001 Chris Barry - finally saw The Matrix.

Posted on 2002-04-02 03:05 View Profile The zipped version is rather larger. Why don't you use lzip? I simply used a single disk linux distro which I have just for exacty this purpose (running cool linux spellcaster proggies). Member# 1,493 September 2001 But I think a win version of lzip is in the works. spellcaster EDIT: Dan, the 4th dimension is time. From what I've seen in the demos, it allows you to specify the modification of a model over a given time. -- Always waiting for a new demo release of Chaos Funk Posted on 2002-04-02 03:15 View Profile spellcaster: No, it's actually a fourth spacial dimention. The 4D mesh is then projected back to a 3D space, which is then projected to a 2D screen. With 3D displays, we can skip that last step and get to see all the cool stuff that 4D can bring. I do admit that Allegro currently fakes the fourth dimention by introducing space-time relativity in the transformation equations. We think that this would Bob better model the back-projection from 4D to 2D. Of Member# 699 course, there is an optional switch to revert to September 2000 regular "linear" transforms, for 3D displays. Bob 23yrold3yrold: Oh please. It's not because *you* were unable to unzip Allegro 5 that it doesn't exist. The fact that it was released on April 1 is purely coincidental. -- - Bob [ Webpage | Allegro FAQ | Coding Tricks ] The world is being silently polluted by Dihydrogen Monoxide!
