Finally I've returned to AmigaOS...

[ShawnBaxe]

Hi

Guess it's time for some introduction. Well...I'm a German, who has left the Amiga scene for a while. But now I'm back. My main interest on the AmigaOS is software development. I've bought StormC 4 for that purpose and it works well

There is one question I have...and I hope someone can give me the answer: I'm very impressed by the AmigaOS 4 design as seen on the latest screenshots. Is there any complete(!) AmigaOS 4 theme for VisualPrefs or any other tool? I want to have that AmigaOS 4 look on my AmigaOS 3.9 installation

Thanks

Welcome back! You plan on doing software develpment? Double welcome back! :-)

[ShawnBaxe]

Thanks a lot :-)

I hope there are still enough users who need some software for AmigaOS 3.9 (mainly 68k, but maybe I'll try to port my software to PPC). I'd like to develop software for OS 4.0 as well, but I'm completely out of money now and can't buy an A1 with OS 4.0.

One thing I plan to do is to develop a more up-to-date HDBackup for WB 3.9 - one that uses ReAction and has CD-R/W-support. Don't know if this is needed. Well...what kind of software could be useful für 3.9?

We need more GAMES !!!!   :-D

[Argo]

We need More Everything!

[ShawnBaxe]

Alright then...guess I'll take a look on what other OSes have and try to write some good software for OS 3.9. Since it's a long time ago since I was developing anything for AmigaOS, I'll develop some small stuff first and then I'll climb the ladder step by step :-)

Btw.: I've heard about some problems with ReActor. Unresolved symbols etc. if you compile ReActor-based apps via StormC...how to avoid that? Someone told me to use a special version of CatComp called CatCompRCT...but where to get it? Any idea?

Remember to let us know what you are planning to do, once you figure it out yourself. Would be pretty stupid if it was already done

Oh, and welcome. Lots of these 'new user' threads popping up, which is great, especially when it's developers returning.

Sincerely,

Dunno about other GUI editors, but I found it much easier to build reaction GUIs by hand instead of using Reactor. Reactor was driving me insane by always crashing... maybe it produces good code, but I'll never know cos the thing is too flaky for me.

[ShawnBaxe]

Alright...thanks :-) So...looks like it'll be better to do it the old style - fire up StormEd and type everything by hand...well...thanks god that Reaction is macro-driven through the includes :-D

@Steady:

I like your avatar. Stinkor was my first Masters of the Universe figure of all. :-)

OT

Stinkor was my first Masters of the Universe figure of all. :-)

Stinkor?!? I might be getting old, but I hope my memory isn't getting THAT bad! I don't remember a Stinkor :huh: That from a second series or something?  :huh:

[ShawnBaxe]

Stinkor...I had that figure, too...it had the same armor as Mechanek, right? As far as I remember Stinkor was created during the first years when motu became famous...but that's just fadin' memories...

Hahaha, Boy I am pretty sure I know every single He Man figure out there...................But I HAVE NEVER heard of Stinkor either hahahaha........so dont feel so bad redrumloa!

hahahaha, thats weird :lol:

@redrumloa:

Yep, Stinkor was from the original series of toys. His special power is a terrible stench which he can produce where ever he appears, that causes the nearby enemies to instantly choke (he looks like a skunk, as you can see from the avatar). He almost got He-Man in the little comic book that came with the Stinkor figure, but luckily for He-Man, Moss-Man appeared and saved the day. Moss-Man is the exact opposite of Stinkor. Moss-Man can repel Stinkor's stench with the power of nature's smells, or something. The Moss-Man figure even had a nice, cologne like smell (seriously!), which was pretty cool. Moss-Man and Stinkor figures came with exactly the same comic books, btw. :-)

@ShawnBaxe:

Yep, Stinkor's armor is the same as Mechanek's, except for the orange colour.
