3112.0. "Latest BADGE demos available" by CSC32::J_PARSONS (George Stark: Not A Very Nice Guy) Wed Nov 15 1989 09:57

    I managed to obtain several of the entries (including the winner) of
    the latest BADGE Killer Demo Contest recently. If there's interest, I
    can put them in a public directory somewhere. Let me know asap if
    anyone wants them, as I'm way over my disk quota right now.

    I've copied the following to WJG::AMIGA:
    
    Note that at least 1 of the demos (SENTINEL) requires at least 3 meg to
    run. My personal favorite is spigot, but Sentinel won the competition
    this year.

I've also uploaded the file S6079.WRP which is also part of the sentinel demo
and needs to be unwarped to the 2nd disk for the demo to work properly.

    Maybe it's just me... but SENTINEL.ZOO appears to be corrupt.
    The SENTINEL2.WRP file fails the CRC check.  Since I don't often
    have 3000+ blocks free, and since it looks like there are a total
    of 3 warp files needed for the demo, would you consider keeping
    the demo on WJG as SENTINEL1.WRP, SENTINEL2.WRP, SENTINEL3.WRP?
    
    many thanks to both of you for making these demos available.

Personally, I don't think Sentinel is that hot a demo.

re .4

There's no doubt that sentinel2.wrp is corrupt, that's why I put up the 
s6079.wrp file which will finish out the 2nd disk. sentinel2.wrp will unwarp
fine, it just aborts around track 60 or so.

I agree with the sentiments in .5, this demo to me isn't all that spectacular. I
personally liked 'Spigot' the best.

    Hi,
    
    I've had problems getting a couple of the demos working. They are the
    ones what use MOVIE. When I fire it up from the CLI I get a message
    "UNABLE to OPEN SCREEN". It happened on DOCTOR_A and ANYCOMPUTER I
    think.
    
    Any suggestions ? (I tried increasing my stack to 10000 before running
    them).
    
    Some of the other demos I've got to run are pretty good stuff !

3112.8Movie LOVES the standard...FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Tue Nov 21 1989 06:4012
    Re: .7
    
    Yeah, that's because MOVIE is absolutly braindead when it comes
    to non-standard WB screens. I bet that you have a morerow'ed WB
    screen. One solution is to boot with standard system-configuration
    file, the other is to play thoose animations directly from Sculpt
    (3d,4d, whatever). I've been bashing the collective Byte by Byte
    heads for some years now at several occassions, but to no avail...

    Thanks <CB>. Yes I'm using morerows (why not, I'm running a PAL Amiga
    !)
