|

Welcome to the FCINFO.TXT file version 1.0 !
|
||||
|
||||
This textfile was written to tell you about Future Crew, to
|
||||
give you answers to most of the things you would probably like
|
||||
to ask us, and to tell you how to get more demos.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are interested in us making a demo for you, please,
|
||||
start reading from the next paragraph in this file.
|
||||
|
||||
The things discussed in this textfile are mainly aimed to
|
||||
those people who have not seen much demos before, but are very
|
||||
interested in learning more about them and about the whole
|
||||
demo scene (=demo world) in general. In the future versions
|
||||
there will be changes and additions taking into account what
|
||||
has happened since the last information package.

|
||||
|
||||
If you find our demos interesting and would like us to make
|
||||
you one for commercial purposes, do not hesitate to contact us.
|
||||
|
||||
When contacting us, please, include a short explanation of
|
||||
what kind of a demo you are interested in. That would greatly
|
||||
help us in evaluating the size of the project.
|
||||
Kindly include, for example, these kinds of information:
|
||||
|
||||
- What kinds of demo effects would you be interested in
|
||||
- Should there be any colorful still-pictures (logos, etc.)
|
||||
- If the demo should have sound, which sound cards would you like
|
||||
to be supported, what type of music should be played, etc.
|
||||
- How big the demo could be in kilobytes and for how long
|
||||
should the demo run in minutes approximately.
|
||||
- Where would the demo be used and how soon would you like the
|
||||
demo to be finished.
|
||||
|
||||
We would like you to understand that our demos are not animations.
|
||||
This means that nearly everything you see on the screen is being
|
||||
real-time calculated. The speed of the movement is usually
|
||||
dependant to the speed of the VGA card and the speed of the
|
||||
processor.
|
||||
|
||||
When contacting us, you should realise that we are all rather
|
||||
young and thus still studying in various schools. This is why
|
||||
our time is usually quite limited. And it is very likely that
|
||||
we might already be involved in another project.
|
||||
|
||||
You should also know that we do not make demos for Microsoft
|
||||
Windows due to its limitations from an assembly language
|
||||
programming point of view.
|
||||
|
||||
Since normal mail is quite a slow way to communicate, we would
|
||||
prefer the communication be made through e-mail or fax.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find our contact information from this file.

|

All our demos, except the ones which we have created for different
|

companies, are freeware.
|

|

This means that you can copy and distribute them freely as long
|

as you make no modifications to them. Also, no money can be
|

charged for copying them.
|

|

If you are a PD distributor, please contact us before including
|

our products in your collection.
|

In general, all commercial utilization of our demos without our

permission is forbidden. This includes selling disks containing

³5: INTERNATIONAL DEMO COMPETITIONS ³

|
||||
|
||||
For those who have no idea what the above are, I will explain.
|
||||
Demo competitions (= parties) are international events where
|
||||
the demo scene people go to meet each other and to compete in
|
||||
the many competitions that are being held. These competitions
|
||||
(= compos) are the demo, intro (= a demo sized under 100kb),
|
||||
music and graphics. There are often different compos for different
|
||||
machines (PC, Amiga, Atari ST and C-64). There are also prizes in
|
||||
each compo (cash or computer hardware & software). The cash prizes
|
||||
are usually the money people pay as the entrance fee (usually
|
||||
about $20 US) and the possible computer hardware & software has
|
||||
usually been sponsored by various computer companies. All
|
||||
contributions are being experienced on a big screen (many meters
|
||||
wide) and with the aid of a powerful audio system. After this all
|
||||
the people or a selected jury vote and decide which contributions
|
||||
are the best. After this the prizes are being given out and the
|
||||
party is over. In the process people of course get to know each
|
||||
other better and exchange a lot of new ideas.
|
||||
|
||||
All contributions are usually being released at the party itself,
|
||||
but sometimes the PC demos are not. This is very unfortunate,
|
||||
and will probably change in the future. The reason why this is
|
||||
allowed to happen is becouse most demos haven't been beta-tested
|
||||
well enough before the party and might not work on most machines.
|
||||
So, the groups are being allowed to finish their demos after the
|
||||
party and then release them when they so see fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Parties usually last for three days (a weekend) and are usually
|
||||
organized by bigger demo groups.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few big demo parties being held annually.
|
||||
These include the following: The Party in Denmark at Christmas-
|
||||
time, The Gathering in Norway around Easter, The Computer
|
||||
Crossroad in Sweden before the summer and Assembly in Finland
|
||||
in the end of Summer. The biggest of these is The Party, which
|
||||
is being held for the third time this Christmas. And the most
|
||||
recent party was Assembly'93, which was held for the second time.
|
||||
|
||||
A few months before the party, the organizing demo groups usually
|
||||
release special invitation demos to advertise their parties.
|
||||
|
||||
At Assembly'93 there were a total of 1500 attenders from which
|
||||
550 were PC people. About half of them had come from outside
|
||||
Finland (Germany, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Norway, USA, Israel,
|
||||
Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, etc...). Only PC people were
|
||||
allowed to vote on PC compos.
|
||||
|
||||
The overall quality of the contributions exceeded all expectations.
|
||||
It was very cool to see how much the PC scene had developed since
|
||||
last year. The party itself went quite smoothly, except for a
|
||||
few bumps, but what would a demo party be without them... :-)
|
||||
Also the prizes were very good in all PC compos. The total value
|
||||
of all the prizes on the PC was about $7800 US.
|
||||
|
||||
Next we would like to thank all the companies which sponsored
|
||||
most of the PC side prizes at Assembly'93:
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced Gravis, Canada
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
Q: Where can I get your and other groups' demos?
|
||||
A: There are several ways to get demos.
|
||||
The best way (if you have a modem) is to call an FC distribution site
|
||||
near you. They have all of our productions online and you can download
|
||||
them freely. Also many normal BBSes carry our productions and other
|
||||
groups' demos. If you don't have a modem, then getting our demos is a
|
||||
lot harder. We don't have a mailswapping system. So, if you have a friend
|
||||
who has a modem, why not try to get him to call one of our distribution
|
||||
sites. Another VERY good way to get demos is from the INTERNET. A very
|
||||
good demo site is ftp.uwp.edu which carries probably the best demo
|
||||
collection on internet.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is Scream Tracker 3.0 going to be out?
|
||||
A: Scream Tracker 3.0 is a product which might or might not ever be out.
|
||||
This is very ambiguous, but the problem is that ST3 is not a high
|
||||
priority project. The coder, Psi, is studying at a university, coding
|
||||
demos, doing commercial software and trying to spend some freetime.
|
||||
So at the moment there is no time to finish ST3 and no set release date.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is Worldcharts issue #2 coming out?
|
||||
A: Not in a while. People haven't sent us enough votes and articles for a
|
||||
full new issue. Maybe it would be the time to do something about this?
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is the musicdisk coming out ?
|
||||
A: As soon as we have some time to finish it. There are lots of songs ready,
|
||||
but the musicdisk interface and graphics for it haven't been created yet.
|
||||
Maybe sometime next year.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What programming books would you recommend to learn assembler and VGA?
|
||||
A: This is a hard question, and a general answer is, that any book will do.
|
||||
You can get the basics from a book and books are a great reference,
|
||||
but when it comes to creating something new, you can't just read it
|
||||
from a book. We have all learned to code the hard way (a lot of
|
||||
miscellaneous books and a lot of experimenting). Anyway, here are
|
||||
some of the books we often find handy (there are undoutedly newer
|
||||
prints, so check them out):
|
||||
|
||||
Mastering Turbo Assembler, Tom Swan
|
||||
Hayden Books 1989, ISBN 0-672-48435-8
|
||||
PC System Programming, Michael Tischer
|
||||
Abacus 1990, ISBN 1-55755-036-0
|
||||
The Programmers PC Sourcebook, Thom Hogan
|
||||
Microsoft Press 1988, ISBN 1-55615-118-7
|
||||
Programming the 80386, John H. Crawford and Patrick P. Gelsinger
|
||||
Sybex 1987, ISBN 0-89588-381-3
|
||||
Programmers guide to EGA and VGA cards, Richard F. Ferraro
|
||||
Addison Wesley 1989, ISBN 0-201-12692-3
|
||||
|
||||
Also, most up to date are many software 'books', such as interrupt
|
||||
lists from bbs'es and such. We have also found a lot of valuable
|
||||
information in articles and such. In short, there is no magic
|
||||
way of learning to code, it really does take hard work.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Are you going to make games in the future ?
|
||||
A: Why not. It all depends if we have the time. We have a few game
|
||||
ideas cooking, but they are far from being completed. But we will
|
||||
let you all know when we have a game coming, don't you worry!
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What do the members of Future Crew do besides computers ?
|
||||
A: Most of us study in various schools; universities, high schools and
|
||||
colleges. In reallife most of us are quite normal(?) human beings.
|
||||
Our hobbies are for example, sci-fi, movies, weight-lifting, techno,
|
||||
hi-fi, etc, etc. And most of have or has had a girlfriend.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What sound cards will you support?
|
||||
A: At the moment our productions support the following sound cards:
|
||||
|
||||
Gravis UltraSound - for it's programming advantages
|
||||
Sound Blaster Pro - for being a standard
|
||||
Sound Blaster - same here
|
||||
|
||||
Support to other sound cards is always possible, but right now we
|
||||
don't see enough demand to support any other cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Why do your demos require a 386 or higher to run?
|
||||
A: There are several reasons for the requirement; For example, 386 has many
|
||||
new assembler commands, 32bit registers, and of course more processing
|
||||
power. There isn't simply enough processing power in 286 to run a full
|
||||
ledged demo. And besides, 286-based machines are a dying breed.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: How did you learn to code as well as you do now?
|
||||
A: Learning to code demos is a long and very very difficult process. It takes
|
||||
years to learn to code demos very well. A good way to start is some high
|
||||
level language like Pascal or C and then started to experiment with
|
||||
assembler. It takes a lot of time and experimenting to get better, and
|
||||
there are no shortcuts (for book recommendations, see a question before
|
||||
this). The main thing is trying to understand what you do, then trying
|
||||
to change the program to see what you get, and gain wisdom in what's
|
||||
the best way of doing things. Learning to code well requires a lot of
|
||||
patience, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of time. It is not easy.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What programs do you use to do your demos?
|
||||
A: We use the following programs to do our demos; For code we use
|
||||
Borland C++, Microsoft C, Borland Pascal and of course TASM (Turbo
|
||||
Assembler). For graphics we use Deluxe Paint 2 Enchanded (and 3D Studio
|
||||
2.0). For making the music we use Scream Tracker 3.0 beta, and for
|
||||
digitizing the samples for our songs we use Advanced DigiPlayer 2.5
|
||||
beta. Scream Tracker 3.0 and Advanced DigiPlayer are our own programs
|
||||
made by Psi, and they are not available to the public at this time.
|
||||
In addition to all these, we of course have a big collection of
|
||||
utilities we have crafted to our need during the years.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I'm a beginner programmer. I wonder if you could help me learn demo coding?
|
||||
A: To help beginners learn the secrets of democoding we have released the
|
||||
full source of our Mental Surgery demo. This source code is spread along
|
||||
with our STMIK (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), which is a 4 channel
|
||||
music player, which you can link into your own programs. You can find these
|
||||
from our distribution sites, under the name STMIK020.ZIP (be sure to grab
|
||||
STMIKFIX.ZIP too, which fixes one nasty bug). Do not try to ask us send
|
||||
you some of our unreleased source code. When we feel that the time is
|
||||
right, we might compile a packet of some of our older routines for all
|
||||
of you to tear apart and possibly learn from. But as usual, there is no
|
||||
set release date for such a packet.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What is the complete list of your released productions with release dates?
|
||||
A: To date, we have released the following productions:

³10: CREATIVITY DEMO NET (CDN) INFORMATION ³
|
||||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||||
|
||||
Creativity Demo Net or shortly CDN is nowadays quite a common sight
|
||||
among BBS'es that are oriented towards demos. But what exactly is CDN?
|
||||
|
||||
The idea behind The Creativity Demo Net(work) is now about 2 years
|
||||
old. I had been dreaming about having a way to communicate electronically
|
||||
between different demogroups. When we (Future Crew) attended Megaleif
|
||||
Easter Party'92 last year in Uppsala, Sweden, I was positively surprised
|
||||
when I found out that Mirage / Cascada had also been thinking about the
|
||||
same thing. We both thought that it was a good idea and began developing it.
|
||||
|
||||
But it didn't work out as we intended. There were a lot of difficulties,
|
||||
in Sweden and here in Finland. At first we tried to spread the net via FidoNet,
|
||||
but soon it came clear to us that demogroups needed their own net. The
|
||||
same time I had been also talking with Trojaner (SysOp of Skull's Southern
|
||||
Germany HQ) and he was also inspired by this idea. We decided that Skull
|
||||
and Future Crew wouldn't be enough to start a new net with, so I contacted
|
||||
Arjan Pool (who had relations with DCE) and he also thought that the idea
|
||||
was just great. And we got underway.
|
||||
|
||||
At first the net was called just plainly DemoNet, but it was almost
|
||||
immediately changed to Creativity Demo Net. Anyway, at first it was planned
|
||||
that StarPort would become the World HQ, but as Arjan wanted to take the job
|
||||
and all the big responsibilities, Arco BBS became the WHQ (and still is). Much
|
||||
of the coming success of CDN was based on Arjan's continuing hard work for CDN.
|
||||
|
||||
The net started working in August 1992, four months after the first idea
|
||||
about a demonet had come to me. And after that the net has spread like a
|
||||
wildfire! At first CDN spanned only 3 countries (Finland, Holland and Germany)
|
||||
but soon Sweden joined in, and then country after country and bbs after bbs
|
||||
joined in. To this date CDN spans the following countries: Finland, Holland,
|
||||
Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, England, Italy, Turkey, Belgium,
|
||||
Canada, USA, France, Hungary, Brazil, Austria and Australia. THAT'S 18
|
||||
COUNTRIES! And there are about 140 nodes in CDN, all BBS's that are demogroup's
|
||||
BBS'es. Considering the small amount of demogroup BBS'es, I would estimate
|
||||
that about 75% of all demogroup BBSes are connected to CDN and all of the
|
||||
biggest groups like FC, Triton, Renaissance, Cascada, etc... are connected
|
||||
to the net.
|
||||
|
||||
So what kind of echoes does CDN carry? Well here is the complete list of

CDN has areas for relaxed talk between people (and it gets QUITE
|
||||
relaxed sometimes, and QUITE weird =), but it's just fun!), and for
|
||||
serious purposes such as programming.
|
||||
|
||||
And what does CDN require from a BBS? Well, the first and MOST
|
||||
important requirement is that the BBS is some demogroups (preferably an
|
||||
active one) BBS. That is rule that there are only few exceptions from.
|
||||
But otherwise, you just have to:
|
||||
|
||||
- place the completed files of the CDN on his/her BBS that everyone
|
||||
can download them
|
||||
- use the CDN nodelist and it's updates
|
||||
- connect to every area available to them
|
||||
|
||||
Not too many rules... And that is because we want CDN to be fun,
|
||||
not some playground for idiots with a lawbook for brains.
|
||||
Also, there are ABSOLUTELY no charges in CDN, so the only costs you have to
|
||||
pay are your own phonebills.
|
||||
|
||||
You can FREQ more info about from for example the WHQ under the magic name
|
||||
CDNINFO. So, get more info now if you are interested in joining in!

³12: HOW TO BECOME A FUTURE CREW DISTRIBUTION SITE ³
|
||||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||||
|
||||
We are looking for distribution sites around the world.
|
||||
We are looking for demo-oriented BBS'es that are interested
|
||||
in becoming part of FC's growing number of BBS'es.
|
||||
|
||||
So, what does it take to become an FC distsite?
|
||||
In fact, it's not easy, we require a lot, but before
|
||||
giving up, take a look at the following list:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS MUST have every single one production
|
||||
FC or any member of FC has ever RELEASED
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS has to call StarPort (FC WHQ) at least
|
||||
twice a month, and keep in contact with the FC
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS also has to be a voting place for our possibly
|
||||
continuing Worldcharts diskmag (voting door)
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS has to be absolutely DEMO-ORIENTED, NOT
|
||||
some gigantic all-around BBS. YOU yourself have
|
||||
to be very interested about demos and the PC demo
|
||||
scene in general
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS should join the Creativity Demo Net, if
|
||||
by any means possible
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS would also be a Future Crew information
|
||||
forum. You would have to answer questions concerning
|
||||
FC and our production, and help people who have
|
||||
problems with our software
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS should be operated on a PC compatible,
|
||||
with at least a 14400 BPS modem and 300 megabytes
|
||||
of diskspace for demos, and the BBS should be open
|
||||
24 hours a day, and 365 days / year
|
||||
|
||||
So what do you get in exchange? Well, these things we can
|
||||
guarantee:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS will be mentioned in every FC production
|
||||
in the distsite BBS list
|
||||
- You have a chance to get all FC's future productions
|
||||
first hand
|
||||
- You will get some FC inner circle information
|
||||
|
||||
What we can't guarantee, but what is likely to happen, is that
|
||||
your BBS will become more and more popular and it's quality
|
||||
will improve dramatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that we already have BBSes in most of the european
|
||||
countries (check out the BBS list), but there are still some
|
||||
gaps left which we'd like to fill out. In the USA and Canada,
|
||||
we are accepting one BBS per state.

Copy the form to a file called VOTING.FRM, fill it out and send it
|
||||
back to us and you will find your name in the Voter's List in the next issue
|
||||
of our diskmag (= electronic magazine). And remember, you will have to fill at
|
||||
least 7 entries on the demo and group charts and 5 entries on the coders,
|
||||
musicians and graphicians, otherwise your vote will not be used and you will
|
||||
not get in the Voter's List. By doing this we are trying to avoid getting only
|
||||
a huge pile of crap votes. So, please, take your time and try to fill out the
|
||||
entries as well as you can. If you haven't seen much demos, and don't really
|
||||
know what to answer, and only want to see your name on the list, do not bother
|
||||
filling this.
|
||||
|
||||
And since this is the PC demo scene we are at, do not vote for any
|
||||
Amiga, Atari ST, C-64 or other people or stuff, only PC.
|
||||
|
||||
And you can't vote your own group, naturally.

FILES IN THE PACKAGE
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Second Reality is distributed in two ZIP files named:
|
||||
|
||||
2NDREAL1.ZIP and
|
||||
2NDREAL2.ZIP.
|
||||
|
||||
You must unpack both zip-files to the same directory before
|
||||
the demo can be run. After unpacking, you should have the
|
||||
following files:
|
||||
|
||||
README.1ST - This file
|
||||
SECOND.EXE - Demo executable file
|
||||
REALITY.FC - Demo data file
|
||||
FCINFO10.TXT - Information about future crew
|
||||
FILE_ID.DIZ - BBS file descriptions (one in both zips)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This demo requires a 80386 processor and 570 000 bytes of
|
||||
free conventional memory.
|
||||
|
||||
With Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro you will need an
|
||||
additional 1 megabyte of EMS. With the Gravis UltraSound
|
||||
and the No Sound-option no EMS is needed. You can choose
|
||||
the desired sound card and the mixing frequency from the
|
||||
SETUP screen when you run the demo.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to really experience this demo, we recommend that
|
||||
you have a 486-based machine, a fast VGA card and a sound card.
|
||||
If your machine is 386-based, the demo will work, but many
|
||||
parts slow down and the demo simply looks worse.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a DOLBY SURROUND decoder/amplifier hooked up to
|
||||
your hi-fi set, have it on-line while running this demo and
|
||||
you will get some cool surround sound effects.
|
||||
(Surprisingly, does not work with the normal Sound Blaster).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can start the demo from five different points by adding
|
||||
a correct command line parameter at your DOS prompt after
|
||||
typing the SECOND.EXE (, for example C:\> SECOND 3).
|
||||
Here is the list:
|
||||
|
||||
1 Starts the demo from the very beginning
|
||||
(the same as without any parameter)
|
||||
2 Starts from the title screen
|
||||
3 Starts from the landscape scroller
|
||||
4 Starts from the vectorpart
|
||||
5 Starts from the end credits
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run this demo in an endless loop, for example
|
||||
at a computer exhibition, be sure to enable the Loop-option.
|
||||
When looping, the end scroller will not be displayed, and the
|
||||
demo will restart automatically after the credits.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find more information and a few hints from the SETUP-
|
||||
screen by running the SECOND.EXE.
|
||||

||||

|

Welcome to the FCINFO.TXT file version 1.0 !
|
||||
|
||||
This textfile was written to tell you about Future Crew, to
|
||||
give you answers to most of the things you would probably like
|
||||
to ask us, and to tell you how to get more demos.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are interested in us making a demo for you, please,
|
||||
start reading from the next paragraph in this file.
|
||||
|
||||
The things discussed in this textfile are mainly aimed to
|
||||
those people who have not seen much demos before, but are very
|
||||
interested in learning more about them and about the whole
|
||||
demo scene (=demo world) in general. In the future versions
|
||||
there will be changes and additions taking into account what
|
||||
has happened since the last information package.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you find our demos interesting and would like us to make
|
||||
you one for commercial purposes, do not hesitate to contact us.
|
||||
|
||||
When contacting us, please, include a short explanation of
|
||||
what kind of a demo you are interested in. That would greatly
|
||||
help us in evaluating the size of the project.
|
||||
Kindly include, for example, these kinds of information:
|
||||
|
||||
- What kinds of demo effects would you be interested in
|
||||
- Should there be any colorful still-pictures (logos, etc.)
|
||||
- If the demo should have sound, which sound cards would you like
|
||||
to be supported, what type of music should be played, etc.
|
||||
- How big the demo could be in kilobytes and for how long
|
||||
should the demo run in minutes approximately.
|
||||
- Where would the demo be used and how soon would you like the
|
||||
demo to be finished.
|
||||
|
||||
We would like you to understand that our demos are not animations.
|
||||
This means that nearly everything you see on the screen is being
|
||||
real-time calculated. The speed of the movement is usually
|
||||
dependant to the speed of the VGA card and the speed of the
|
||||
processor.
|
||||
|
||||
When contacting us, you should realise that we are all rather
|
||||
young and thus still studying in various schools. This is why
|
||||
our time is usually quite limited. And it is very likely that
|
||||
we might already be involved in another project.
|
||||
|
||||
You should also know that we do not make demos for Microsoft
|
||||
Windows due to its limitations from an assembly language
|
||||
programming point of view.
|
||||
|
||||
Since normal mail is quite a slow way to communicate, we would
|
||||
prefer the communication be made through e-mail or fax.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find our contact information from this file.

|
||||
|
||||
All our demos, except the ones which we have created for different
|
||||
companies, are freeware.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that you can copy and distribute them freely as long
|
||||
as you make no modifications to them. Also, no money can be
|
||||
charged for copying them.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are a PD distributor, please contact us before including
|
||||
our products in your collection.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, all commercial utilization of our demos without our
|
||||
permission is forbidden. This includes selling disks containing
|
||||
our demos.

For those who have no idea what the above are, I will explain.
|
||||
Demo competitions (= parties) are international events where
|
||||
the demo scene people go to meet each other and to compete in
|
||||
the many competitions that are being held. These competitions
|
||||
(= compos) are the demo, intro (= a demo sized under 100kb),
|
||||
music and graphics. There are often different compos for different
|
||||
machines (PC, Amiga, Atari ST and C-64). There are also prizes in
|
||||
each compo (cash or computer hardware & software). The cash prizes
|
||||
are usually the money people pay as the entrance fee (usually
|
||||
about $20 US) and the possible computer hardware & software has
|
||||
usually been sponsored by various computer companies. All
|
||||
contributions are being experienced on a big screen (many meters
|
||||
wide) and with the aid of a powerful audio system. After this all
|
||||
the people or a selected jury vote and decide which contributions
|
||||
are the best. After this the prizes are being given out and the
|
||||
party is over. In the process people of course get to know each
|
||||
other better and exchange a lot of new ideas.
|
||||
|
||||
All contributions are usually being released at the party itself,
|
||||
but sometimes the PC demos are not. This is very unfortunate,
|
||||
and will probably change in the future. The reason why this is
|
||||
allowed to happen is becouse most demos haven't been beta-tested
|
||||
well enough before the party and might not work on most machines.
|
||||
So, the groups are being allowed to finish their demos after the
|
||||
party and then release them when they so see fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Parties usually last for three days (a weekend) and are usually
|
||||
organized by bigger demo groups.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few big demo parties being held annually.
|
||||
These include the following: The Party in Denmark at Christmas-
|
||||
time, The Gathering in Norway around Easter, The Computer
|
||||
Crossroad in Sweden before the summer and Assembly in Finland
|
||||
in the end of Summer. The biggest of these is The Party, which
|
||||
is being held for the third time this Christmas. And the most
|
||||
recent party was Assembly'93, which was held for the second time.
|
||||
|
||||
A few months before the party, the organizing demo groups usually
|
||||
release special invitation demos to advertise their parties.
|
||||
|
||||
At Assembly'93 there were a total of 1500 attenders from which
|
||||
550 were PC people. About half of them had come from outside
|
||||
Finland (Germany, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Norway, USA, Israel,
|
||||
Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, etc...). Only PC people were
|
||||
allowed to vote on PC compos.
|
||||
|
||||
The overall quality of the contributions exceeded all expectations.
|
||||
It was very cool to see how much the PC scene had developed since
|
||||
last year. The party itself went quite smoothly, except for a
|
||||
few bumps, but what would a demo party be without them... :-)
|
||||
Also the prizes were very good in all PC compos. The total value
|
||||
of all the prizes on the PC was about $7800 US.
|
||||
|
||||
Next we would like to thank all the companies which sponsored
|
||||
most of the PC side prizes at Assembly'93:
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced Gravis, Canada
|
||||
|
||||
Epic MegaGames, USA
|
||||
|
||||
The Waite Group Press, USA
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Lan Vision, Finland
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The thanks to all the sponsoring companies are also in the end
|
||||
scroller of the demo. We hope to see you also next year!
|
||||
|
||||
And to all you people out there:

the answers to your questions from here and save us and
|
||||
yourself from some unneeded paperwork.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Where can I get your and other groups' demos?
|
||||
A: There are several ways to get demos.
|
||||
The best way (if you have a modem) is to call an FC distribution site
|
||||
near you. They have all of our productions online and you can download
|
||||
them freely. Also many normal BBSes carry our productions and other
|
||||
groups' demos. If you don't have a modem, then getting our demos is a
|
||||
lot harder. We don't have a mailswapping system. So, if you have a friend
|
||||
who has a modem, why not try to get him to call one of our distribution
|
||||
sites. Another VERY good way to get demos is from the INTERNET. A very
|
||||
good demo site is ftp.uwp.edu which carries probably the best demo
|
||||
collection on internet.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is Scream Tracker 3.0 going to be out?
|
||||
A: Scream Tracker 3.0 is a product which might or might not ever be out.
|
||||
This is very ambiguous, but the problem is that ST3 is not a high
|
||||
priority project. The coder, Psi, is studying at a university, coding
|
||||
demos, doing commercial software and trying to spend some freetime.
|
||||
So at the moment there is no time to finish ST3 and no set release date.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is Worldcharts issue #2 coming out?
|
||||
A: Not in a while. People haven't sent us enough votes and articles for a
|
||||
full new issue. Maybe it would be the time to do something about this?
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is the musicdisk coming out ?
|
||||
A: As soon as we have some time to finish it. There are lots of songs ready,
|
||||
but the musicdisk interface and graphics for it haven't been created yet.
|
||||
Maybe sometime next year.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What programming books would you recommend to learn assembler and VGA?
|
||||
A: This is a hard question, and a general answer is, that any book will do.
|
||||
You can get the basics from a book and books are a great reference,
|
||||
but when it comes to creating something new, you can't just read it
|
||||
from a book. We have all learned to code the hard way (a lot of
|
||||
miscellaneous books and a lot of experimenting). Anyway, here are
|
||||
some of the books we often find handy (there are undoutedly newer
|
||||
prints, so check them out):
|
||||
|
||||
Mastering Turbo Assembler, Tom Swan
|
||||
Hayden Books 1989, ISBN 0-672-48435-8
|
||||
PC System Programming, Michael Tischer
|
||||
Abacus 1990, ISBN 1-55755-036-0
|
||||
The Programmers PC Sourcebook, Thom Hogan
|
||||
Microsoft Press 1988, ISBN 1-55615-118-7
|
||||
Programming the 80386, John H. Crawford and Patrick P. Gelsinger
|
||||
Sybex 1987, ISBN 0-89588-381-3
|
||||
Programmers guide to EGA and VGA cards, Richard F. Ferraro
|
||||
Addison Wesley 1989, ISBN 0-201-12692-3
|
||||
|
||||
Also, most up to date are many software 'books', such as interrupt
|
||||
lists from bbs'es and such. We have also found a lot of valuable
|
||||
information in articles and such. In short, there is no magic
|
||||
way of learning to code, it really does take hard work.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Are you going to make games in the future ?
|
||||
A: Why not. It all depends if we have the time. We have a few game
|
||||
ideas cooking, but they are far from being completed. But we will
|
||||
let you all know when we have a game coming, don't you worry!
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What do the members of Future Crew do besides computers ?
|
||||
A: Most of us study in various schools; universities, high schools and
|
||||
colleges. In reallife most of us are quite normal(?) human beings.
|
||||
Our hobbies are for example, sci-fi, movies, weight-lifting, techno,
|
||||
hi-fi, etc, etc. And most of have or has had a girlfriend.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What sound cards will you support?
|
||||
A: At the moment our productions support the following sound cards:
|
||||
|
||||
Gravis UltraSound - for it's programming advantages
|
||||
Sound Blaster Pro - for being a standard
|
||||
Sound Blaster - same here
|
||||
|
||||
Support to other sound cards is always possible, but right now we
|
||||
don't see enough demand to support any other cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Why do your demos require a 386 or higher to run?
|
||||
A: There are several reasons for the requirement; For example, 386 has many
|
||||
new assembler commands, 32bit registers, and of course more processing
|
||||
power. There isn't simply enough processing power in 286 to run a full
|
||||
ledged demo. And besides, 286-based machines are a dying breed.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: How did you learn to code as well as you do now?
|
||||
A: Learning to code demos is a long and very very difficult process. It takes
|
||||
years to learn to code demos very well. A good way to start is some high
|
||||
level language like Pascal or C and then started to experiment with
|
||||
assembler. It takes a lot of time and experimenting to get better, and
|
||||
there are no shortcuts (for book recommendations, see a question before
|
||||
this). The main thing is trying to understand what you do, then trying
|
||||
to change the program to see what you get, and gain wisdom in what's
|
||||
the best way of doing things. Learning to code well requires a lot of
|
||||
patience, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of time. It is not easy.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What programs do you use to do your demos?
|
||||
A: We use the following programs to do our demos; For code we use
|
||||
Borland C++, Microsoft C, Borland Pascal and of course TASM (Turbo
|
||||
Assembler). For graphics we use Deluxe Paint 2 Enchanded (and 3D Studio
|
||||
2.0). For making the music we use Scream Tracker 3.0 beta, and for
|
||||
digitizing the samples for our songs we use Advanced DigiPlayer 2.5
|
||||
beta. Scream Tracker 3.0 and Advanced DigiPlayer are our own programs
|
||||
made by Psi, and they are not available to the public at this time.
|
||||
In addition to all these, we of course have a big collection of
|
||||
utilities we have crafted to our need during the years.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I'm a beginner programmer. I wonder if you could help me learn demo coding?
|
||||
A: To help beginners learn the secrets of democoding we have released the
|
||||
full source of our Mental Surgery demo. This source code is spread along
|
||||
with our STMIK (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), which is a 4 channel
|
||||
music player, which you can link into your own programs. You can find these
|
||||
from our distribution sites, under the name STMIK020.ZIP (be sure to grab
|
||||
STMIKFIX.ZIP too, which fixes one nasty bug). Do not try to ask us send
|
||||
you some of our unreleased source code. When we feel that the time is
|
||||
right, we might compile a packet of some of our older routines for all
|
||||
of you to tear apart and possibly learn from. But as usual, there is no
|
||||
set release date for such a packet.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What is the complete list of your released productions with release dates?
|
||||
A: To date, we have released the following productions:

³10: CREATIVITY DEMO NET (CDN) INFORMATION ³
|
||||
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||||
|
||||
Creativity Demo Net or shortly CDN is nowadays quite a common sight
|
||||
among BBS'es that are oriented towards demos. But what exactly is CDN?
|
||||
|
||||
The idea behind The Creativity Demo Net(work) is now about 2 years
|
||||
old. I had been dreaming about having a way to communicate electronically
|
||||
between different demogroups. When we (Future Crew) attended Megaleif
|
||||
Easter Party'92 last year in Uppsala, Sweden, I was positively surprised
|
||||
when I found out that Mirage / Cascada had also been thinking about the
|
||||
same thing. We both thought that it was a good idea and began developing it.
|
||||
|
||||
But it didn't work out as we intended. There were a lot of difficulties,
|
||||
in Sweden and here in Finland. At first we tried to spread the net via FidoNet,
|
||||
but soon it came clear to us that demogroups needed their own net. The
|
||||
same time I had been also talking with Trojaner (SysOp of Skull's Southern
|
||||
Germany HQ) and he was also inspired by this idea. We decided that Skull
|
||||
and Future Crew wouldn't be enough to start a new net with, so I contacted
|
||||
Arjan Pool (who had relations with DCE) and he also thought that the idea
|
||||
was just great. And we got underway.
|
||||
|
||||
At first the net was called just plainly DemoNet, but it was almost
|
||||
immediately changed to Creativity Demo Net. Anyway, at first it was planned
|
||||
that StarPort would become the World HQ, but as Arjan wanted to take the job
|
||||
and all the big responsibilities, Arco BBS became the WHQ (and still is). Much
|
||||
of the coming success of CDN was based on Arjan's continuing hard work for CDN.
|
||||
|
||||
The net started working in August 1992, four months after the first idea
|
||||
about a demonet had come to me. And after that the net has spread like a
|
||||
wildfire! At first CDN spanned only 3 countries (Finland, Holland and Germany)
|
||||
but soon Sweden joined in, and then country after country and bbs after bbs
|
||||
joined in. To this date CDN spans the following countries: Finland, Holland,
|
||||
Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, England, Italy, Turkey, Belgium,
|
||||
Canada, USA, France, Hungary, Brazil, Austria and Australia. THAT'S 18
|
||||
COUNTRIES! And there are about 140 nodes in CDN, all BBS's that are demogroup's
|
||||
BBS'es. Considering the small amount of demogroup BBS'es, I would estimate
|
||||
that about 75% of all demogroup BBSes are connected to CDN and all of the
|
||||
biggest groups like FC, Triton, Renaissance, Cascada, etc... are connected
|
||||
to the net.
|
||||
|
||||
So what kind of echoes does CDN carry? Well here is the complete list of
|
||||
echomail areas:
|
||||
|
||||
* 1. CDN.4ALL
|
||||
The area for everyone in CDN
|
||||
* 2. CDN.ANNOUNCE
|
||||
Made a new demo ? announce it overhere.
|
||||
* 3. CDN.DISKMAG
|
||||
All information about diskmagazines
|
||||
% 4. CDN.CHAT
|
||||
All chatting with other members
|
||||
% 5. CDN.PROGRAMMING
|
||||
For help with programming problems
|
||||
% 6. CDN.GFX
|
||||
For all graphics makers
|
||||
% 7. CDN.MUSIC
|
||||
MIDI/MOD/MUSIC help and questions
|
||||
S 8. CDN.TEST
|
||||
Test area
|
||||
! 9. CDN.INTERGROUP
|
||||
For selected groups within CDN
|
||||
S 10. CDN.SYSOP
|
||||
Sysops CDN only
|
||||
H 11. CDN.HQ_HOST
|
||||
For mail between HOSTS versus HQ
|
||||
|
||||
* - for everyone who gets
|
||||
connected to a BBS
|
||||
% - for registered persons
|
||||
(demogroup members)
|
||||
S - only for CDN sysops
|
||||
H - only hosts and HQ
|
||||
! - for special selected groups
|
||||
|
||||
CDN has areas for relaxed talk between people (and it gets QUITE
|
||||
relaxed sometimes, and QUITE weird =), but it's just fun!), and for
|
||||
serious purposes such as programming.
|
||||
|
||||
And what does CDN require from a BBS? Well, the first and MOST
|
||||
important requirement is that the BBS is some demogroups (preferably an
|
||||
active one) BBS. That is rule that there are only few exceptions from.
|
||||
But otherwise, you just have to:
|
||||
|
||||
- place the completed files of the CDN on his/her BBS that everyone
|
||||
can download them
|
||||
- use the CDN nodelist and it's updates
|
||||
- connect to every area available to them
|
||||
|
||||
Not too many rules... And that is because we want CDN to be fun,
|
||||
not some playground for idiots with a lawbook for brains.
|
||||
Also, there are ABSOLUTELY no charges in CDN, so the only costs you have to
|
||||
pay are your own phonebills.
|
||||
|
||||
You can FREQ more info about from for example the WHQ under the magic name
|
||||
CDNINFO. So, get more info now if you are interested in joining in!

³12: HOW TO BECOME A FUTURE CREW DISTRIBUTION SITE ³
|

ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
|
||||
|
||||
We are looking for distribution sites around the world.
|
||||
We are looking for demo-oriented BBS'es that are interested
|
||||
in becoming part of FC's growing number of BBS'es.
|
||||
|
||||
So, what does it take to become an FC distsite?
|
||||
In fact, it's not easy, we require a lot, but before
|
||||
giving up, take a look at the following list:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS MUST have every single one production
|
||||
FC or any member of FC has ever RELEASED
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS has to call StarPort (FC WHQ) at least
|
||||
twice a month, and keep in contact with the FC
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS also has to be a voting place for our possibly
|
||||
continuing Worldcharts diskmag (voting door)
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS has to be absolutely DEMO-ORIENTED, NOT
|
||||
some gigantic all-around BBS. YOU yourself have
|
||||
to be very interested about demos and the PC demo
|
||||
scene in general
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS should join the Creativity Demo Net, if
|
||||
by any means possible
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS would also be a Future Crew information
|
||||
forum. You would have to answer questions concerning
|
||||
FC and our production, and help people who have
|
||||
problems with our software
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS should be operated on a PC compatible,
|
||||
with at least a 14400 BPS modem and 300 megabytes
|
||||
of diskspace for demos, and the BBS should be open
|
||||
24 hours a day, and 365 days / year
|
||||
|
||||
So what do you get in exchange? Well, these things we can
|
||||
guarantee:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your BBS will be mentioned in every FC production
|
||||
in the distsite BBS list
|
||||
- You have a chance to get all FC's future productions
|
||||
first hand
|
||||
- You will get some FC inner circle information
|
||||
|
||||
What we can't guarantee, but what is likely to happen, is that
|
||||
your BBS will become more and more popular and it's quality
|
||||
will improve dramatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that we already have BBSes in most of the european
|
||||
countries (check out the BBS list), but there are still some
|
||||
gaps left which we'd like to fill out. In the USA and Canada,
|
||||
we are accepting one BBS per state.

Copy the form to a file called VOTING.FRM, fill it out and send it

of our diskmag (= electronic magazine). And remember, you will have to fill at
|

least 7 entries on the demo and group charts and 5 entries on the coders,
|
||||
musicians and graphicians, otherwise your vote will not be used and you will
|
||||
not get in the Voter's List. By doing this we are trying to avoid getting only
|
||||
a huge pile of crap votes. So, please, take your time and try to fill out the
|
||||
entries as well as you can. If you haven't seen much demos, and don't really
|
||||
know what to answer, and only want to see your name on the list, do not bother
|
||||
filling this.
|
||||
|
||||
And since this is the PC demo scene we are at, do not vote for any
|
||||
Amiga, Atari ST, C-64 or other people or stuff, only PC.
|
||||
|
||||
And you can't vote your own group, naturally.

FILES IN THE PACKAGE
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Second Reality is distributed in two ZIP files named:
|
||||
|
||||
2NDREAL1.ZIP and
|
||||
2NDREAL2.ZIP.
|
||||
|
||||
You must unpack both zip-files to the same directory before
|
||||
the demo can be run. After unpacking, you should have the
|
||||
following files:
|
||||
|
||||
README.1ST - This file
|
||||
SECOND.EXE - Demo executable file
|
||||
REALITY.FC - Demo data file
|
||||
FCINFO10.TXT - Information about future crew
|
||||
FILE_ID.DIZ - BBS file descriptions (one in both zips)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This demo requires a 80386 processor and 570 000 bytes of
|
||||
free conventional memory.
|
||||
|
||||
With Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro you will need an
|
||||
additional 1 megabyte of EMS. With the Gravis UltraSound
|
||||
and the No Sound-option no EMS is needed. You can choose
|
||||
the desired sound card and the mixing frequency from the
|
||||
SETUP screen when you run the demo.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to really experience this demo, we recommend that
|
||||
you have a 486-based machine, a fast VGA card and a sound card.
|
||||
If your machine is 386-based, the demo will work, but many
|
||||
parts slow down and the demo simply looks worse.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a DOLBY SURROUND decoder/amplifier hooked up to
|
||||
your hi-fi set, have it on-line while running this demo and
|
||||
you will get some cool surround sound effects.
|
||||
(Surprisingly, does not work with the normal Sound Blaster).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can start the demo from five different points by adding
|
||||
a correct command line parameter at your DOS prompt after
|
||||
typing the SECOND.EXE (, for example C:\> SECOND 3).
|
||||
Here is the list:
|
||||
|
||||
1 Starts the demo from the very beginning
|
||||
(the same as without any parameter)
|
||||
2 Starts from the title screen
|
||||
3 Starts from the landscape scroller
|
||||
4 Starts from the vectorpart
|
||||
5 Starts from the end credits
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run this demo in an endless loop, for example
|
||||
at a computer exhibition, be sure to enable the Loop-option.
|
||||
When looping, the end scroller will not be displayed, and the
|
||||
demo will restart automatically after the credits.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find more information and a few hints from the SETUP-
|
||||
screen by running the SECOND.EXE.
