Short: Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1+ CD v1.1 Uploader: MickGyver Author: dmcminn@house-of-mojo.freeserve.co.uk and MickGyver Type: dev/basic This is an updated version of the Ultimate Blitz Basic 2.1 CD. You should be able to run this installation from any folder, even the support suite installation. To install, use lha on the Amiga to extract the archive, then run "INSTALLBLITZ2" from Workbench and follow the instructions. - Install everything! :) In most cases you just need to click 'Proceed' every time it shows. - Support Suite asks whick BB version you are installing for, leave "V2.1" checked. INCLUDED: --------- * Blitz Support Suite (Included on the original UBB2.1 CD) * SuperTED v2.52 Update (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/superted252.lha) * REDDebugger Update: The fixed update that does not use interrupt based timing in the main loop. This stops the debugger from slowing your computer down (WinUAE and Mediator/Voodoo3-NOINT can be affected like this). (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/rdb.lha) * REDHelp fix: Fixes problems with the REDHelp scripts and guide files so that they execute correctly and actually work. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/redhelpfix1.lha) * RIARexx library update: Update for the RI ARexx library which comes with the BSS. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/riarexxlib_update.lha) * GadTools updates (7th March 2002): Bugfixed and updated version of the GTLib for Blitz - shapes and visual prefs work well now. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/blitzgtfix.lha) * all.res: Contains both the real OS include structures (without the underscores) and the problem ones (with the underscore). Now you can use a single resident file to compile any previously written Blitz code. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/patch/all_res.lha) * NewCommandSet V1.9 including ASL and Window patches (http://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/NewCommandSet) (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/libraries/ncs_asl_fixed.lha) (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/libraries/ncs_window_boopsi.lha) * AcidCD32 library (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/libraries/acidcd32.lha) * BlitzPhxPlayer by PHX and idrougge on EAB: What sets this library apart from other tracker players is that it works with all system versions (and not only 2.0+ like Ciatrackerlib) and that it supports simultaneous sound effects. The player automatically chooses the most suitable channel to override with sound effects, but you can also reserve certain channels for music only. (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=87959) * MakeDefLibs executable (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/tools/makedeflibs.lha) * Third party libraries in the EXTRAS folder. Some are already installed by the intaller. A description of each library can be found in EXTRAS/3RD_PARTY_LIBRARIES/_Info.txt. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/libraries/) * Third party Blitz Basic related tools in EXTRAS/TOOLS. (http://www.david-mcminn.co.uk/blitz-2000/archives/tools/) * Notepad++ automation instructions and files in the EXTRAS/NPP_AUTOMATION folder. (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=86316) TROUBLESHOOTING: ---------------- * If you experience weird graphical glitches with BB2.1, you might want to try and install http://aminet.net/util/libs/MMULib.lha * If the help menu is not working, then you will probably need to enable ARexx in Workbench. Add the following line to S/user-startup: SYS:System/RexxMast >NIL: CHANGELOG: ---------- 1.1 - Updated 'Installer' to version 43.3, this fixes installation in ClassicWB and possibly other configurations. - No need to select source folder when starting the installation. - SYS: is now the default installation directory. - File names converted from upper case to lower case. - SuperTED installation of the Support Suite no longer asks for FD and Autodoc paths. - Some useful library related tools added to the 'Blitz2/tools' folder. - Some text (language) related fixes in the NewCommandSet installer. - NewCommandSet installer no longer asks if it should rebuild deflibs, it just does. - Moved cd32lib.obj and ptplayer.obj to extras/blitzlibs/otherlibs - Removed bum9b/blitzlibs/otherlibs/xbonesciatrackerlib.obj (to avoid duplicated library). - Removed extras/blitzlibs/otherlibs/xbonesciatrklib.obj (to avoid duplicated library). 1.0 - First release of the updated installation CD.
