Welcome to Issue 23 of the Third Dimension disk magazine for 3D
Construction Kit 1 and 2 users on all computer formats.
Disaster has struck at the last minute! Just two days before the
disk was due to go to Holland for conversion by Mieke,I placed the
disk into the drive and the computer erased everything whilst
copying a file.So I placed the backup into the drive and it
erased that also! Previously the computer (Atari) erased Peter
Ward's contribution disk (thanks for the backup disk Peter!) and
also six other important disks over the last month.So please
forgive me for the content as I have been working like a man
possessed to place something onto the disk for you.Next months
double disk should make up for this though!
This month we have an updated OURTOWN datafile and story mainly
thanks to Peter D Ward.There is also a textfile on 3D games,a
tutorial/ideas on game structures with accompanying files,an
updated FCL listing,the answers to last months quiz from
Mandy,letters,objects a preview screengrab of next months Helicopter
Simulation (see below),a default sample and keys listing,an animation
of a 3D room and much more!
Thanks goes out to Terry brawls for creating a better version of
issue 22 than what I did.This really was an excellent effort but Mieke
is now going to carry on now that she has a new A1200 on board and
will continue with the CanDo version of the diskmag using the point
and click menu sytem.Thanks also to Mieke of course and to John
Clarke who has now created a new PC menu system which is a plug
and play/modular system allowing greater flexibility for that
version of the diskmag.
Mike Olive has done it again! He managed to get all of the
answers to Mandy ( look new teeth! ) Rodrigues's Quiz correct so
well done Mike! Peter D Ward and Robin Ball have been given a
mention in Floppyshop's PD library update and Floppyshop have
placed yet another issue of our diskmag into their recommended
top 20 purchases,so thanks goes to Steve Delaney and Irene Lamb
at Floppyshop!
The Amiga Computer show will be on at the Novotel Exhibition
Centre at Hammersmith,London on Saturday,April 13th and
Sunday,April 14th.Admission is £7 adults,£5.50 kids.
If you are going then ring me and we can meet up as there are a
few other members who will be attending.
COMPETITION! COMPETITION! COMPETITION! COMPETITION! COMPETITION!
There is a competition this month for Amiga A1200 owners only.I am
sorry if you have another computer but the prize will only work
with this computer! The prize is a HARD DRIVE! Yes a hard
drive.This is a 80 meg (I think) unit that will suit anyone who
needs to install the full five workbench disks,add the 3D kit and
some other favourite programs too! So to win this all you have to
do is to send in a decent routine for the 3D kits.The drive was
donated by Dave Willmore to benefit a fellow Amiga users so
thanks goes out to dave.The winner will have to pay postage for
the above unit so get your contribution sent in now!!!!
Roberta Smith DTP are offering an Amiga Mouse ( Naksha ) for only
£7.50 so if you require one then please ring- 0181 455 1626.
Next month will be our second birthday issue and it will be on
two disks so send in your contributions,game demo,3D files etc!
To get the second disk you should send a decent blank
disk with a reply paid envelope.Subscribers should just send a
blank disk as this will go out with your usual monthly disk.
Next months extra disk will have the full coding for a helicopter
simulation.You should be able to design a few areas and add all
the supplied conditions,add a few instruments and end up with a
great helicopter flight sim.All the conditions and procedures
will be in ASCII form so you can just load them straight into the
condition to save hours of typing.All the difficult coding has been
done for you! Full instructions will be included.For a sneak
preview take a look at the Helicopt.IFF file.The game has a 360
degree compass,heading and altitude indicators,ground/air horizon
level bars,selectable weapons,speed indicators,area co-ordinates
and great sounds! Also on the disk will be game samples,borders,a
doom type game and lots more!
So what has been happening at Tony Towers? Well I have been
playing infiltration by Robin Ball.This is a great game which is
just begging to be played.My phone line was broken (thanks BT) so
I lost my ground communicator for a while.It is now fixed at
last! I have been creating the helicopter simulator for the extra
disk for our next month birthday issue.The instruments are
amazing.I am working too on another new 3D game.I am also creating
a multi media presentation system for the Amiga.
------------------------
If you are new to this diskmag then please note that you need
either 3D Construction kit 1 or 2 to be able to view the
datafiles on this disk.Details of where to get this is mentioned
further below.To see what can be achieved why not purchase one of
the many disks listed in the Third dimension PD library section
that are available for all computer formats.Alternatively,try the
Amiga-VR-PIANO,VR-CITY,VR-DRUMS disk available from most good
Amiga PD libraries and the Third Dimension PD library.
You should have at the very least,version 2.09 of 3D kit 2 for
the Atari and Amiga.PC users should have version 2.11.To find out
your kit version,load up kit 2 then look in the ABOUT pull down
menu.Mandy Rodrigues can supply you with the very latest version
providing that you send a SSAE and your old kit disk.Mandy can
also provide back issues of the kit newsletters at £2 each.
Tel- 01492 877305 for more details.
