As I got some mails from people saying that they won't buy Hollywood (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/) because I'm supporting MorphOS I have to clarify that there will be AmigaOS 4 version of Hollywood of course.
But before this can happen, I need a developer version of AmigaOS4 and because such a version does not seem to be available currently, I cannot do anything yet. But there will be definitely an AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood (if it is API compatible to the classic AmigaOS).
So, don't panic and don't send me any more of such threatening letters. It's really astonishing how serious this topic seems to be to some people.
Additionally the update to the AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood will be free of charge too (as the update to the MorphOS version was). So if you are interested in Hollywood, you can also buy the program now and get the update for free when AmigaOS 4 is finally available.

Never underestimate the feral nature of this community to attack itself, let alone the hands that feed it.
-
Incredible, whoever sent those emails (and you know who you are), should be ashamed of yourselves... grow up ffs.
-
/me shakes head (ouw that hurts)
The only thing OS4-supporters should do right now when someone
releases any SW is ask in a polite way if the author might
consider OS4 when it is available.
Anything more is counterproductive, and attacking someone
who just says "No" won't be helpfull either.

i dont thinkits Supporting MorphOS thats the problem. Its dropping AmigaOS support in favour of mos that really gets people worked up.

That is no excuse for attacking a developer with threatening e-mails.
Developers can choose whichever platform they want program for. Nobody is obliged to support this that or the other.
If you want something done do it yourself !!
No grow up, learn to program and develop software for OS4 if that is what you would like to see.
Just stop preaching to others that which you do not do yourself. (aimed at the ones who sent those mails)
Just leave the hard working programmers alone.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

It could be a or some MOS supporters poseing as AmigaOS supporters
to make Aos ppl look bad.

But that has never been the case! AFAIR, the poor guy hasn't even said anything about *NOT* supporting OS4. But since *THERE IS NO OS4*, how the h--l is he supposed to release software for it?! :-x
This is totally unbelievably pathetic. And *VERY* sad ...
:-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
-
What is wrong with those people?? I thought they wanted software for their OS?? Instead they send threat mails to developers??
This is sick....
-

Did i miss something?? Where did it say that he would not continue to support AmigaOS? It is possible to develope for more than one OS.
And who the heck would develope when all they get is bitching and threats?
-
Some people just don`t have the brains to think before doing. Absolute idiots.
I`m glad of this news, as the Amiga needs something like this. Though it would be VERY good if it
had a better GUI system. Like Scala. This problem makes it potentially useless to beginners to
computing. We don`t want the Amiga to be only for people who have years of knowledge on how to use
it. New users are needed and new users are usually.......well....new.
-
Well, I've already bought Hollywood (within the very hour of first hearing about it here on Amiga.Org). I very much look forward to an AmigaOS4 version since MorphOS quite simply isn't my cup of tea.
Regards,
Ben de Waal.

MOS is the anti-amiga, like Satan is the anti-christ.
Would you drink from the same cup as Satan?
Would you buy software thats also available on MOS?
This is really a perspective issue - because both sides of this need to seriously question their tolerance level.
As for my opinion, I think you are f*cking up the community with your attitude to any amigan who decides to think differently on any issue. And to reach outside of the amiga community and pull in an OS called Morph-OS and try and rub it in loyalists faces it just as bad.
-
@createcoms
So you don't want fxPaint,fxScan,Hollywood ?
So you don't want that epic/Titan consider OS4-versions of their SW ?
And surely you don't want any Hyperion-ports, as they only do
commercial ports when they also do a Mac and/or linux-port ?
Some people are just unbelieveable :-o
-
@ createcoms
As you are doing so yourself by your flamebait.
You obviously have strong opinions as you stand to gain financially with one side rather than the other.
Preaching about loyalty and attacking a developer who has never said that He will abandon OS4, won't achieve anything.
Just leave the neutral developers out of this OK!
I am seriously getting to a point of disillusionment with some of this "Amigan Communisty"
I made a choice to go with OS4 and the AmigaOne but I don't go round stirring up trouble with the other camps or slagging off potential developers.
I also have one of the most stable computer systems that I have ever owned. It is a PC with dual (overclocked) Celerons running Windows XP. Its fast and can run everything I want.
The AmigaOne will just be another gadget in my collection (And I have many gadgets, believe me).
Bieng Pro-Amigan doesnt necessarily mean you have to be Anti-everything else.
Just adopt the neutral ground an everyone will be better off.
As they say around these parts " JUST CHILL MAN! "
Have A nice Christmas :-D

Well said.

you cant develop for os 4 when its not even out yet give the devolpers of software a chance besides if they dont want to develop for os 4 and want to develop for morph os instead its their choice .thats what lifes about making choices not everybody might agree with you but then nobody will ever agree 100%.I am buying an amigaone but i not expecting everybody to write software for it. If someone develops for morph os only thats ok by me to develop for both platforms you need to buy both platforms an amigaone and pegosos which means you have to spend a lot of money a lot of people might not even have enogh money to buy either machine so calm down and stop shooting yourself in the foot.
-
Firstly, this isnt gadgetmaster.org so dont bark at me like you own the place, secondly you dont 'own' the amiga community - so trying to prevent me from pushing my opinion is wasteful.
I do NOT stand to gain financially from any of this, if you are referring the distribution of amigaONE in New Zealand which Im working on - it is a non-profit thing setup purely so amigans can purchase their HW without import hassles. A provision of convenience if you will.
Im not attacking the developers - the concept in the top half of my post was a question, not a statement, designed to absorb your opinion. Obviously you are so bent on the anti this didnt work and instead you built more anti on top.
Also there is no such thing as neutral ground, you are either one one side or the other - 1 or a 0, dead or alive, for or against.
If you want to be the peaceman, I suggest you actually allow these forums to be filled with alternating opinions without crying wolf over it.
Like I said - Tolerance. Opinion giving is imperative, upping the anti when someone else does, is not helpful. You post your opinion, you post some more, you argue your opinion against someone elses - all fine. But when you simply bark at someones opinion, for no other reason than to try and suppress them - well, not fine.
Goodnight - my A1200 Towerkit arrives 2moro......
-
@createcoms
Yeah Whatever !
I was also just expressing my opinion not barking. :-?
I did make it clear that I did not like what those people that e-mailed the developer had done. Now unless you are one of those there is no reason to take it so personally.
Study the tone of your own posts first then criticise me.
In Digital everything might be a 1 or a 0 but not in Analog :-P
Just out of curiosity , it would be interesting to know which "side" you think I am from, not that I make any such distinctions.
Anyway just cheer up now with the holidays coming up and all , we can do without another flame fest :-D
-
As already mentioned on ann: Pissing of the author may have exactly been the desired result.
-
Let me ask you ONE thing...
What do you have against MorphOS, so strong to
stop you from buying software by people that make
software for both OS' and not just OS4?
You're entitled to have your opinion but... I would
REALLY like an answer.
-
Excuse me, but STOP with your conspiracy theories.
That's stupid. Do you think that any MOS user could
be that stupid? If this threatening did work it would
make the author abandon MOS and only make it
available for the OS4. Do you think that we're that
stupid?
-
Noone can speak for either all OS4 user or all mos users. And if the recent months have shown anything then that there are some sad individuals around - even some outsiders that take pleasure in starting new flame wars among us.
-
The problem with the Amiga "community" is not that it is one big seething bowl of hate and rage, its that there is a very loud minority acting like complete assholes and ruining it for everyone else. The people that threatened the author of Hollywood are just unbelievable... Its sickening it really is.
Also there is no such thing as neutral ground, you are either one one side or the other - 1 or a 0, dead or alive, for or against.
What planet are you from? I mean, I intend to buy OS4 and an AmigaONE. That doesn't mean i'm "against" MorphOS. Sure, I might not be financially supporting them, but if people want MorphOS then thats fine with me, and if people want to write software for both systems, more power to them. They maximise their userbase and everyone wins.
Personally, I'm very interested and excited by the progress of AmigaOS4, MorphOS, and AROS, even if I don't necessarily like the way some of the people from all sides (or at least OS4 and MorphOS camps) have acted.
Don't be so closed minded about these things. After all, if OS4 isn't a success, MorphOS will almost certainly made available for the AmigaONE. If MorphOS isn't a success, I reckon that OS4 port to the pegasos might actually happen. I just wish all the small minded petty idiots hell bent on fighting until theres nothing left to fight for would just shut up and go away...

@Tickly
Well said! :pint:

you might not be against MOS in the sense that you post anti about them. But the direction of your money speaks for itself.

I prefer to buy cows milk from the super market so I must be somehow financially boycotting goats milk. :-? :-?
Because the direction of my money goes to cow farmers I should send threatening emails to goat farmers that unless they exclusively start selling cows milk I will start a boycotting campaign against them. :roll: :shocked:
Makes perfect logical sense in a truly warped kind of way. :whack: :python: :-D

Oh, for crying out loud.
-
Oh, I got it, you just avoid my question... Ok, you're
just a fanatical clown.
And about that:
MOS is the anti-amiga, like Satan is the anti-christ.
--
Satan is NOT the antichrist, open up a bible.
The anti-christ's relation to the Satan is like the
relation of Jesus Christ to god...
(Not that I believe all these...)
Would you drink from the same cup as Satan?
--
Sure, take a look at my avatar.
Would you buy software thats also available on MOS?
--
Sure!
BTW... The Amiga is a COMPUTER... *NOT
a RELIGION...

The Amiga is a COMPUTER...
A lot of people need to realise this I think :) I like using my Amiga, but at the end of the day its JUST a computer. Its pretty unimportant in the grand scale of things ;)
