This trend will continue until we get more space, or our new 'helper' get around to clearing out the ANSI section (which is eating up way too much space). More of the /artists directories can be expected to be deleted unless more space frees up soon. I am now handling all of the /incoming/code and /programming files. If you have any questions, please write to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Music contest ][ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Only a few days left! The contest ends this Monday, so get your entry in by then. I now have the pseudocode down for the MC2VOTE.EXE program. It's quite a difficult thing to do when you figure (approximately): ----------------------------- 80 songs * 3 judges voting on each one * 5 characteristics for each song: each characteristic has different strengths (i.e. Form might be 25%, and Samples might be %20) ----------------------------- Also, there are three different strengths for judges! All in all, this will be a very complex program, and I hope I'm up to the skills necessary. Thank you to everyone who entered. A list will be posted probably on the 7th or 8th of this month of all known MC][ entries. If you aren't on this list, and you entered, GET BACK TO ME ASAP! I would hate to have a song you worked on not voted on because of a simple slip up on my part. Lately, many of you have been making my life very difficult with corrupted uploads, incorrectly named uploads, or invalid entries. I will do what I can to help but my time is limited so your being careful is paramount now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assembly 94 music ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry folks. Because of space restrictions, I am going to have to delete all Assembly 94 tunes that didn't make it to the top 10. I'm not even going to get a chance to listen to them all unfortunately. Songs with an '*' next to them mean we have them online. 4 Channel Music Competition --------------------------- *1031 points, Compulsion to Obey by Lizardking/Razor1911 572 points, Blue shoe Blues by Petrof/Absolute 536 points, Tappajakotka & pupu by Yolk/Parallax 469 points, Blue Progression by Buzzer/Zenon & Yzi/Fit 468 points, Alnite Groove by Dizzy/Cncd *449 points, Vote4me by Leinad/Avalanche 408 points, Thunderball by Dime/Decnite 365 points, Sensitivity by Light 358 points, Berrycape.bu1 by Nutcase/Balance 333 points, Happypaskamies by Moby/Sanity 32 Channel Music Competition ---------------------------- *840 points, Walkaway by Stargazer/Sonic 650 points, Journey by Cube/Aggression *520 points, Klaustrophobia by Lizardking/Triton *447 points, When The Heavens Fall by Purple Motion/Future Crew *440 points, Infinity by Khyron/Acid *429 points, Empty Mind by Edge/EMF *429 points, Lil'funk Machine by Vinyl/Mind Probe *305 points, Artificial Inteligence by Prism/EMF 293 points, Nobody Dreaming by Dune/Sonic PC *241 points, Lovesong by Chanel5/Flatline If you didn't make the top 10, I'm sorry to have to delete your song. Remember, we will have to make cut-backs like this until the ANSI section is cleaned up. ============================================================================== ((Section 5...ESCAPE Demo/Music CD)) ============================================================================== Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information. (i.e. More information, cost, how to get the DEMO/MC][ CD) MUSIC Enter into MC][ and PLACE...then your tune will be granted one track on the DEMO/MUSIC CD to be released THIS October. We plan on mastering our MUSIC with a DAT player--which rents for about $40-$90 a day in my area. GUS to DAT mastering. If you have a DAT and want to help us out then contact Snowman or myself. ART We could still use some ART. You would not want to see my art on the CD....plus it would be in all ONE color. If we get some cool art then we use color, no cool art then we go single color (would cut costs). If you can draw and would like your art to be included with "Escape" then get back to me--dmw@eng.ufl.edu. ============================================================================== ((Section 6...Advertisements)) ============================================================================== ============================================================================== ((Section 7...Top 25 Downloads)) ============================================================================== Someday there will be something here. ============================================================================== ((Section 8...Misc)) ============================================================================== I plan on moving the ASM94 stuff from /incoming/asm94 to the proper directories very soon. GRAPHICS will be move to /graphics and the INTROS\DEMOS will be relocated to the /alpha/NEW/asm94/demos /intros directories. I am not sure what to do about the 4kintros...but I will probably group them all together in one big file.
