First Words .......................................................... : Hiya all! Summer holidays - time to write a lot of nonsense, and also meaningful stuff, hopefully. I want to release Hugi 20 during these summer holidays. Therefore I've set the preliminary deadline for article submission to the end of July. It's a month to go. Everything is welcome to Hugi! Tutorials, reports, stories, satire,... Be scene and heard by publishing your stuff in Hugi! Hugi 20 will come along with a new version of our Chris Dragan's Panorama interface. It will have better support for themes, among other things. Let yourself be surprised. - Adok (Hugi Core & Royal Family) . :........................................................................ .. News ................................................................. : Survey on the size of a good diskmag. * In the Hugi mailinglist we are currently having a poll about "the decent size of a good diskmag". As we are working on the anniversary issue, Hugi 20, we want to know how large its ZIP-packed size can be in the readers' opinion so that we can choose the tunes, the number of themes etc. accordingly. * If you are subscribed to the Hugi mailinglist, you can cast your vote at the following website: * http://www.egroups.com/surveys/hugi?id=217798 [based on news from Adok] Last Ninja SID music compo. * ReeBoK has forwarded to me an email of Ninja/DRM/TMP/GO64!. He is organizing a SID music compo. The entries have to be related to the legendary C64 games Last Ninja 1-3. Quote: * "Your contribution can be a cover of just one tune or be a medley, that doesn't matter. But it should be related to the music of Last Ninja 1-3. Of course, you have enough room for own interpretations. A simple 1:1 copy would be boring, wouldn't it? Contributions must be handed in as standard C64-executables and must run on a plain C64 with a 1541-floppy drive. Please specify if an old or a new SID is preferred. You may show graphics or text while your tune is played, but we won't take it into consideration for the judgement. Only unreleased musics are allowed. After the winners have been announced, all contributions will be spread together with the results. Finally, just one tune per composer is accepted. Deadline will be 31.12.2000, 23:59. Until then your contribution should have been mailed to me." * Ninja can be contacted at mailto:ninja@the-dreams.de. [based on news from ReeBoK] Rents - "Really Underground". * Monotonik has released a scene-based music mix by Rents. The original announcement: * "Portugese designer and all-round 'nice guy', Rents, who's been helping us out on our cover-pictures of late, weighs in with another DJ set, this time exclusive, and it's an entirely 'scene'-based mix, covering .MOD and .MP3s from the weird but lovely 'demo-scene' that Monotonik+211+friends has grown out of. Highlights? Dharma and Vim's former Mono releases, lots of sublime Dune (BrothomStates) material, Urban Shakedown's famous Amiga-written chart hit, and a nod to the Bitmap Brothers with the "Gods" .MOD theme - still funky+stylish after all these years. We deliver this mix in 32kbps mp3, which we prefer to realaudio, quite often - hope you like it too." * You can download it at http://www.mono211.com/content/releases/mtkdj5.html. [based on news from Monotonik, forwarded by Ghandy] New party announcements. * Fiasko 2k will take place in Uherske Hradiste (south-east Moravia, Czech Republic) in August 19-20. * Name: Tapahtumah'5 Date: 01-03.09.2000 City: Lohja Country: Finland URL: http://tapahtumah.stc.cx * BCN Party'00 http://www.bcnparty.org October, 6th - 7th - 8th. [based on news from Shakul and Dipe] Eurochart and Fleur postponed. * The first issue of Eurochart PC has been postponed to the second week of July. http://www.eurochart.org/ * Fleur 5 has been announced to come after the Euro2000 finals, on July 2. [based on news from Eurochart website and d-lee] Kneebiter making WedTro. * Kneebiter posted an article announcing the making of WedTro for the coming wedding of Ms. Saigon/Threesome and Howler/Fobia Design. The wedtro will be displayed during Assembly 2000 demo party in finland, where they both act as organizers. * "For those of you not in the know, Ms. Saigon/Threesome and Howler/Fobia Design are getting married on July 16th, 2000. I am responsible for creating WedTro 2. (or is this the third? Are you oldskool enough to remember the first?) If you would like to send a greeting in the wedtro, please send me your name/alias and group name. If you'd like to send a greeting as a group, just the group name will be fine. Group logos will be accepted under a size of 320x50x24bpp (rather arbitrary. yeah, if you're triton, FC, Scoopex, or any big name/old skool group, we might let you get away with more, but we only promise not to scale down logos under that size.) Assuming that the production gets completed in time, we'll try to get it shown at Assembly 2000. (Our then-happily-married-couple are both organizers of the event, after all.) We entertain no delusions of keeping the demo under 8MB, so it will not be a part of the compos. If you have any questions, just send me mail at either: toddx.zimnoch at intel.com kneebee at hotmail.com I have not read csipd in years, so I won't necessarily see or hear of responses here. Thanks, Kneebiter/Threesome" * Appendix: Wedtro's I'm adding this after emailing with Kneebiter. Since we already mention the term WedTro, here are the 2 examples Kneebiter talked about: 1. WedTro #1: Trixter married CatWomen, 1994. (they have 2 kids now...) 2. WedTro #2: Nitro of Dubius got married, 1996. (btw, both programs naturally run on DOS...) [written by Civax, based on news from Kneebiter] Sleepless final released. * Smash Designs released a final version of their demo Sleepless. "It contains a windows executable and many fixes (visual and non-visual)", writes Soney. * ftp.smash-designs.de/pub/smash/pc/sleepless_final.zip [based on news from Soney] First Italian Workshop on Videogames. * Apocalpyse Design released an invitation intro to the first Italian workshop on videogames. Get it at http://members.xoom.it/a_design/invitro_v1.zip. * The actual event took place at the University of Crema at June 22-23, 2000. [based on news from Ciccilleju!] Demos from TakeOver make a fuss. * A lot of fuss is going on now on comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos, the demoscene's newsgroup. You wanna know why? * Popsy Team won TakeOver 2000 demo competition with an excellent demo. It got great scenes, the coding and graphics just rocks. The music? The music fits perfectly... only it's not theirs - it's actually a commercial track. The debate goes on now about whether this is a 'rip that sux' or 'acceptable since the demo deserved the best music quality'. * Check out the demo, VIP2, and while at it - download some other winning productions from TakeOver: Nowhere by 3State - 2nd place demo, This Is by Orion - 3rd place demo and Pluxity by Unik - 1st place 64 Kb intro. (ftp://ftp.scene.org/) [written by Civax, slightly edited by Adok] Ad "Demos from Takeover...". * Yes commented the fuss about Popsy Team on Orange Juice with the following words: "They did it This lame group, called popsy team used a commercial mp3 in their production. As for State of Mind and Shad 2. And now they release final version and 3dfx version too.French people maybe sux but THEY KICK ASS with powerfull demos. Well done popsy team !!!!" * And this is Jeroen's comment, posted to demoscene.org on June 27: "Looks like the Popsy Team discussion is still in full effect on most public scene places like Usenet and IRC. If you've missed what this is all about: Popsy Team used a commercial MP3 in their TakeOver 2000 winning demo and didn't credit the original authors (Fear Factory) - they also used the MP3 without permission. Without getting into the discussion too much (unlike other news-editors, I think I should not get into a discussion I am supposed to report on) all I can say is: this has happened before with State of Mind and Shad2. So what I wonder about is: how come about half of the Orange Juice musicians top 10 is French when apparantly none of them are good enough to create decent demotracks? :)" [based on news from Yes and Jeroen] News from NEXTEMPIRE demogroup. * NEXTEMPIRE has moved to: http://www.nextempire.com/ http://www.nextempire.org/ http://www.nextempire.net/ * NEXTEMPIRE radio broadcasting live * NEXTEMPIRE irc server up [written by Kozmik] Scene bits. * Kahvi has re-activated. http://kahvi.stc.cx/ holds releases from vae, pupuguru, lackluster. * Unik won Takeover'00 introcompo with the win32 intro 'pluxity'. Code by warp/unik and music by distance/tpolm. [written by distance, slightly edited by Adok] Chrysalis released some sources. * http://www.hszk.bme.hu/~s8149kez/sources.html [based on news from d-lee] B]zli #9 pre-compo 2. * Until July 16, 2000, you can send the B]zli organizers a photo of a B]zli cow head logo, a B]zli #9 flyer or any B]zli merchandise item shot on a public place. Check out their homepage more more infos and prizes. * http://www.buenz.li/ [based on news from Fred] Makke releases new musicdisk. * Makke releases his first musicdisk in 1.5 years. It's called evolution, and you can get it here: * http://www.ukscene.org/makke/songs/m_evltn.zip [based on news from Makke] A bit of news about Adok. * Some personal stuff on me: First, I've let myself be persuaded to install ICQ in the end, although I'm not yet convinced of its security. You can reach me at the UIN (or ICQ#, as it's now called so that the masses understand it too) 77076041. * Second, I've registered the domain adok.org for free with http://www.namezero.com/. I've set up http://hugi.adok.org/ to forward to the Hugi website, currently http://www.hugi.de/, and http://hugicompo.adok.org/ to forward to the Hugi Size Coding Competition website, currently http://www.hugi.de/compo/. This is supposed to be a "back-up" for the hypothetical case that problems with the hugi.de server might occur one day. In these cases I'd change the adok.org addresses to point to working URLs of the Hugi and Hugi Compo sites.
