Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present version 2.0 of the PDF plugin for Hollywood. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. The plugin was formerly known as Polybios and was renamed for version 2.0 because the old name caused some confusion. Version 2.0 is a major update which, in the spirit of Hollywood 11 which has lots of optimizations for smaller executables, now contains two separate flavours of the plugin: A full version that includes the full PDF renderer and a light version which is much smaller because it only contains the engine to create PDFs. Furthermore, it's also possible to directly load PDF pages into Hollywood vector brushes now. Finally, the PDF plugin supports the macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 platforms now.

The plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, arm64, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64, arm64), Windows (x86, x64), Android (arm, arm64) and iOS (arm, arm64) are provided.

This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Giant Mutants Are Live - and They Don't Move... Because They Don't Need To
https://drive.proton.me/urls/VVFRQQD1Y8#7o3xEZn32M61

Today was giant?mutant testing day.
And honestly? I'm starting to think I created a whole new category of unfair.

These things don't walk.
They don't chase you.
They don't flank, hide, or do anything remotely tactical.

They just stand there.
Like skyscrapers with anger issues.
And then they unload.

The moment they spot you, it's like someone flipped the "infinite ammo" switch.
Rockets, bullets, beams - whatever they're built with, they fire it nonstop like they're trying to erase you from the timeline.

It's almost insulting how confident they are.
They look at you like:
"Why would I move? You're the one who should be running."

And the worst part?
I coded them.
I know exactly how they work.
And yet every time I test them, I feel like I'm trapped in a turret defense game where the turrets hate me personally.

Static enemies, sure.
But when they start firing, you realize mobility was never the problem.
Survival is.

Challenge accepted... again.

@redact a post was made by your account this evening. It was reported and I deleted it and sent a warning message. I'm a forum moderator, but not an admin.

I saw your account was created a while ago but never posted with, but thought this might be a tactic of spammers; to create an account, leave it dormant and then post.

Thanks for posting a response and explanation and a great first move to change your password.

Looks like your server might have been hacked, passwords compromised.

Someone logged into my account, even with the forum having a unique password only used on this site and not shared, and posted something dodgey, probably sex related links. I received a warning from "Amiga.org". They also changed my profile details to female, 38 and living in Algeria. I've changed my password, let's see if it happens again.
