[ Demoparty.net ] TRSAC 2010, October, 22nd - 24th, DK
date: October, 22nd - 24th, country: DK
»TRSAC will return this year - same place and (almost) same date as last year.
The party will take place 22nd-24th of October in Århus, central Jutland, Denmark (same location as last year) - easy to reach by car, plane, train and ferry. So basically you have no excuse for not joining us in yet another celebration of the demoscene and pepper schnapps.
Remember, this year is our 10-year anniversary, so we might have some extra goodies up the sleeve for you «

Chevy Ray Jonston made an interesting framework for 2D-games in ActionScript3, called FlashPunk. Read the interview at Digital Tools, to learn about it, it's advantages and the person who made it.

Launched in 2006 as a small section of BitFellas, ArtCity only slowly developed into the area that we had in mind. But sometimes it only takes the right team to get the job done. Today we are very proud to present the new http://artcity.bitfellas.org/, redone from scratch. Just the way we always thought it should be. We invite you to take a look at all the features you are about to encounter while spending your time browsing through nearly 4000 demoscene pictures from all platforms.

[ ExoticA ] Maybe not news but News
Just a brief update on things. Those utilising the modland ogg/mp3 recording service may have noticed a temporarily loss of service for a couple of days. This was due to a rebuild of the server that is used for streaming. It would have been wise to report on this but unfortunately other unrelated problems caused a failure in the PR department. All is well now though. Hopefully I can update you with some new changes soon. In the meantime, if you haven't tried the recording service, I can give you a couple of my favourite searches : Drax's fantastic Fasttracker II tunes, and Pink of Abyss' great AHX tracks.

Actually there has been a couple of updates in the recording backend. It now only should show ogg/mp3 links for formats that are actually playable, and the psf format was added, meaning you can download a variety of Playstation 1 tunes for playback. Enjoy!

Today at 23:00 CET we will launch the hotel reservation system for Breakpoint 2010.

From that point on you will be able to book highly discounted sceners-only hotel rooms at
http://breakpoint.untergrund.net/sleeping.php

We've got plenty of rooms - so yes, of course you should book quickly after the reservation system has launched, but please take your time to fully read the text on the page and to properly fill out the reservation form without any errors.

NOTE: If you mess up your reservation, you will not be able to change it later - all you can do is get it deleted, and then most likely someone else has taken your room. So take your time!

[ DHS.NU ] Outline registration open
Havoc of Lineout writes:

As of today, registration and ticket payment details on our website have gone public. If you intend to visit the party, please register. To secure a sleepingplace in one of our comfy sleepingrooms, make your payment as soon as possible- only owners of the first 100 paid tickets who express their desire for a bed via the registration form will be granted access to this area.

The maximum number of visitors is limited to 130. We expect there will once again be a number of people who prefer to sleep in tents or at hotels, so hopefully noone will be forced to sleep under their tables. However, should anyone find themselves in such unfortunate circumstances come partytime, compensation of any kind will regretfully not be possible.

Just to remind you, last year we had well over a hundred visitors, many of whom made their intentions to return this year know through various channels. We rely on you, the Atari demoscene community, to preserve Outline's signature atmosphere. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please feel free to contact us using one of the options described on our website. See you in Eersel!

As gulli recently reported, controversial lawyer Günter Freiherr von Gravenreuth ended his life last night.

In the 80s Gravenreuth was quite wellknown in the german cracking scene as he was trying to bust as much illegal members of the cracking scene as possible. Even if they stood on two different sides the members of Radwar invited him to paintball events and to their parties.

Gravenreuth was very famous for the so called Tanja-letters. They hired a model from an agency in order to let the receipts of his letters think a poor young girl would like to get a list of cracked software. Whoever has send Tanja this list got a high priced dissuasion from the german lawayer Gravenreuth.

Lateron he worked together with the german hacker Kimble (Romkids & Loons), who delivered him with the data of around 80-100 mailboxes which all were busted the months later.

We have been working since a while on an extension for our Mudia Art series. Finally, we are pleased to announce that Mudia-Art.Net is online. As the main focus of Mudia-Art has always been that of presenting music and graphic art, we have finally put it all under one hat, through this online solution.

Here one can find demoscene music and graphics, vote and comment them, and even help us enrich and enlarge our archive. Even though it's still a growing process, this running version will for sure have some more options added in the very near future, which we are already working on. We plan to integrate parts of the Mudia-Art exe, though Mudia-Art.Net which is NOT a replacement for the offline artmag.

Unfortunately we have only one relay at the moment, so for the time being the maximum number of listeners is limited to 40 users. If you could help us, please contact us at: info(at)mudia-art(dot)net or join us on irc at #mudia-art

It's now time to tune in and enjoy Mudia-Art.Net at: http://www.mudia-art.net

Name of the party: "Atari Headquarters" Time of the party: 9-11 April 2010. If the Krakow city is near to You - then just come. Well, we think that Atari ST should not be forgotten. So there will be a standard 4-chnls MOD compo for Atari ST, on the party. (YM / AY chip, no STe!!). Compo-machine: Atari 520 STfm 1Mb. You can send any of Your old MODs but only not-published before ones.
Music can be played from two programs:

DigiComposer: http://yerzmyey.republika.pl/digicomposer.zip
ProTracker ST: http://files.dhs.nu/files_msx/protk21r.zip

Notes:
Seems like DigiComposer doesn't read "jump to pattern" command.
Seems like ProTracker ST doesn't read "tremolo" command.

The best would be a MOD about 200Kb or smaller. You can make MODs up to about 380Kb, I suspect, but REMEMBER that ONLY ProTracker ST can play such big MODs (well, no "tremolo" command then, but there's still a possibility to make a twice faster MOD to achieve the tremolo/quaver effect). You can make Your MOD on any machine but PLEASE TEST YOUR MOD on Atari ST (or emul) on both trackers before sending it to me and check out if everything's OK.
Pick up some tracker and INFORM ME about what editor You chosen.

Send Your MODs to: yerzmyey AT interia.pl - DEADLINE is: 7 April 2010.
