Well, Im back again for another month, even though the picture for my
return was pretty bleak, what with me getting sick of putting the paks
together and all... However, Ive pulled through Ive just delegated the
pak-putting-together job to somebody else! Dontcha love democracy??.
These past two months have been only so-so for me in terms of ANSi
production... Only 146 000 kb, what is the world coming to? Actually, ya
cant blame me for a slightly reduced output, blame school. 3 grade 13
classes can do that to ya :. Especially if its English, Chemistry, and
Finite Math. But enough about me, lets just sift through the shitload of
group info we got here...
I dont know what the heck happened to all those new guys who joined just
before we released the last pak.... I personally havent heard from them
since, but hopefully Bx will know more about that. The joint that I was
gonna do with Shaman hasnt happened yet... Hes fulfilled his half of the
bargain, but I havent yet Ive been having a bit of trouble modifying the
pic he did, cause we have such different styles. Oh well. Ill get it
eventually. And hes getting better all the time, I love his Lady Death
pic, and hopefully you, whoever ya are, will like it too.
Well, it appears that theres not quite as much info as I thought. This
is probably gonna be my shortest letter yet! Woah. Well, anyways, I may
as well just stick in a plug for the group we kick ass, get us to do
your ANSi, join the group, we kick ass, etc, thank you for your attention,
and get outta here. Tune in next month or two for the next episode in
our ongoing five year mission!

wh0rd... sup d00d3z?!??! -- If you type like this, you really need
to get a life.. its not elite, trust me...
Sorry, I just had to get that off my back. I see so many lame ass punks
typing like that who think theyre 3l337. Anyways... within the next week
or so we should be releasing a Oneliners door.. Yes, I know.. a million of
them have already been done... but not like this one. This one is going to
be 100 configurable thanks to some suggestions made by Gus. Im just about
done programming it.
I was browsing through some old files that I found when I was looking for
some information on bitmap scaling and I found some REALLY nice ones by VLA.
Those guys just kick ass... They explained everything that I needed to know
and even helped me learn some more math while I was at it. The file can be
found on x2ftp.oulu.fi in the pub/msdos/programming/vla directory if you want
to find it. The filename is: 3DMATH.ZIP - If you want to learn how to
do bitmap rotation 3d shading GET THIS FILE.
Im hoping that for our next release we can have an electronic
newsletter/emag type thing in effect.. Im going to start coding it as soon
as I can find a copy of Turbo C/C++ mine was all messed up so I had to
delete it. Were going to need some music for the newsletter/emag so if
you wanna make some up for us, go right ahead. Id prefer it if you could
save it as a mod/s3m/or hsc file though since Ill be using a library to make
it.
Well, I was hoping that we could have included the newer version of our
viewer that looks and performs a million times better, but unfortunately it
wasnt ready. Hopefully, it will be ready for the next pack that we release
so you can check it out then.
