Updates for Hollywood, Hollywood Designer & Malibu
« on: March 20, 2005, 01:24:25 AM »
Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce new updates for the popular Hollywood product line. As of today, Hollywood 1.93, Hollywood Designer 1.01 and Malibu 1.11 are available in versions for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and now for the first time also for AmigaOS4, PPC native which brings incredible speed improvements over the versions for classic Amigas. This is definitely the perfect Easter gift for all Amiga enthusiasts!

Hollywood 1.93
Hollywood is the ultimate Multimedia engine for your Amiga computer. It is a highly optimized program which offers a flexible script language that allows you to create all kinds of Multimedia applications, ranging from simple presentations to games and GUI applications, without specific knowledge of programming languages. Core of Hollywood is its Multimedia Application Layer which provides a large set of functions to create almost everything you desire in a short time. Hollywood 1.93 brings along a great new feature which has been anticipated by many users: Hollywood can now compile your scripts into native AmigaOS4 executables from any platform that is supported by Hollywood. The update to Hollywood 1.93 is available for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and finally, Hollywood has now landed on AmigaOS 4.0 PPC.

Hollywood Designer 1.01
Hollywood Designer is a state of the art "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) presentation editor which is the ideal tool for users who prefer to click their presentations together instead of typing Hollywood scripts. Using the established slide based concept, you can create professional presentations on your Amiga now within minutes. Hollywood Designer 1.01 adds the possibility to save your presentations as AmigaOS4 programs. Besides that, you can also save AmigaOS3, WarpOS and MorphOS programs. The update to Hollywood Designer 1.01 is available for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and for the first time also for AmigaOS 4.0 PPC.

Malibu 1.11
Malibu is a plugin for Hollywood that allows Hollywood to load and display your old Scala presentations. This is especially useful because Scala does not work on graphics boards and also has its problems with modern Amigas. With Malibu, your Scala scripts run in a window on Workbench or on an Intuition screen! Furthermore, your Scala presentations will look much better with Malibu because it does not map all colors into a 256 color palette. Malibu 1.11 is an AmigaOS 4.0 version of Malibu 1.1, which is already available for AmigaOS3 and MorphOS. There are no new features except that it is now PPC native and thus much faster than the 68k version.

Ordering
If you order Hollywood, Hollywood Designer or Malibu, you will get a CD-ROM that contains versions for all platforms that are supported by the programs including AmigaOS4. If you already have one or more of the products, you should order the update kit which allows you to update your installed AmigaOS3, WarpOS and MorphOS versions. The update kit also contains the AmigaOS4 versions of all programs so you can use it to upgrade to the AmigaOS4 version. Please note: There is only one update kit available. This kit contains all updates for Hollywood, Hollywood Designer and Malibu. The update kit can be ordered for 20 Euros from the Airsoft Softwair website. Please also note that you need a valid installation of Hollywood 1.9 to apply the updates.

Airsoft Softwair says Happy Easter to all fellow Amiga users around the world and wishes much fun with the new fresh updates for Hollywood, Hollywood Designer and Malibu! Now available on AmigaOS4 for the first time.

Hey Airsoft,

that is great news, but where is the online download!?

Shouldn't have to pay 20eur for a CD that is probably about 1/5th full! Free download please... (its not a major upgrade, a major upgrade id pay for...)

I've fixed the German PayPal screen. Sorry for that. I thought it always switched automatically to German because I'm on a German IP address.

Concerning the update fee: Remember that you get all the three updates for the 20 Euros. I don't think that this is too much. And yes, there is a new feature: You can now compile your scripts for AmigaOS4 on all platforms supported by Hollywood.
That's no minor improvement. It was a lot of work to get that running correctly and also the OS4 version was not so easy to build. Getting the OS4 versions up is far away from simply "running the sources through the compiler". So from my point of view (knowing the efforts I put into the new update) 20 Euros is really a fair deal. But of course, noone forces you to update.

Andreas

Thanks for that, make it easier for me to pay for sure, since my
German left me 20 years ago ;-)

Just need to consider whether I need the upgrade - it is currently
*the best* piece of software available for NG PPC 'Amigas' :-D
