"REACTIONS" again a lot of reaction reached my mail- box this month,but i'm sorry that i didn't fix any of the things you were complaining about. the reason why i didn't is very simple! i'm allready working on a cool brandnew outfit!! i'm allmost finished with it and it will contain many more extras like: TEXT-HUNTER CHARFLASH AUTOSCROLLING and several other things... but ofcourse i will take all your reactions into account to make the other outfit as cool as possible! (not too cool ofcourse,because then there's nothing to react on!) but lets start the reactions now... ---------------------------------------- nice mag,cool intro and funky main menu! but the loading time is LONG and it fills 2 sides! try to get it on 1 side! maybe PACKING the chapters would help? it is possible,look at CORRUPTION! yours:JESTER/INCERIA dear jester, you are not the only one that thinks it fills TOO MUCH space on the disk!! first i thought it wouldn't be a too big problem that it LOADS so SLOW,but you are right! it takes fucking much time to load!!! but as you can see there's in INTERUPT (IRQ)-LOADER in it so crunching is a bit harder than normally!! but i'll see what i can do and i think i can crunch the text in all the next issues!! ---------------------------------------- hi tch! i think that your mag is one of the coolest mags i've ever seen. i think it'll get the best. my last issue didn't work properly: when i was reading the contact-corner it suddenly stopped and the newscorner but i think you'll correct this in the next issue. keep on doing such a nice work and it will be the best! bye,bye: MR.PERFECT/SPHERICAL DESIGNS dear mr.perfect, i don't really get what you try to tell me,but i think you were reading the contact-corner and suddenly was readin the news. i think i made a little error in where to text had to stop,i'm sorry and i hope it won't happen again,but i was under great time-pressure when i was finishing that issue in venlo!! ---------------------------------------- i think (and not only i) that your mag gets better and better with every new issue and i must say that i like it very much. not every mag looks like BRUTAL RECALL and that's good. the way of choosing chapters is also very cool but i think there is one thing which needs improvement. 'the TEXT-SCROLLING' coz it's not very userfriendly to press the firebutton all the time while reading! maybe ya can make a new ICON on which you must click to get in the TEXT-MODE and if you want to choose another chapter ya must click one more time! i don't know if you like my idea but i think it'll be a good solution. hope to get nr.4 as soon as possible! cu! NOTHINGFACE/SPHERICAL DESIGNS dear nothingface, you got on of the most important points there! thanx for giving me your sollution and look out for issue 5,because you can see if i used it or not... i'm sorry that you still have to press fire all the time,but... ---------------------------------------- sum reactions 4 da mag: #1:i like da chapters,but sum (tips...) are useless... #2:why don't ya code a routine 2 show when you have to turn the disk? #3:the scrolling is too slow and you can improve da controling with 2 arrows to move the text! #4:some print-routines! and...in da intro of ISSUE #3 i saw a sprite bouncing with da text "ISSUE" 002 yours,DOUBLE MC/ICE CUBES dear double mc, #1:maybe you think that TIPS are useless but some guys even send them,so there are surtenly some people interested! #2:last time i didn't had the time to put a "TURN DISK"-routine in,but now i won't because it's the last time i will use this outfit! #3:which scrolling is too slow? and how can you ever control 2 ARROWS with 1 JOYSTICK?? will this really improve anything? #4:like i allready answered in issue 3, i can't put a print-routine in,becoz i don't have a printer,so it's not possible for me to test it! yes,there was a sprite bouncing saying "ISSUE 2",but this was because i had to finish it in a hurry and i didn't had the INTRO-EDITOR with me!! ---------------------------------------- hy tch ! here is once more VIPER/REBELS with a reaction to your mag. i'm really glad to see that you took my advices and removed the few 'ERRORS' !! but let's come to another problem that your mag has !! it is TOO LONG !! now i also got issue #3 and again you did not CRUNCH the MAIN-FILE!! at issue #2 i thought that you had no time or you just forgot it. but now you didn't do it again! but that won't make me ANGRY if the mag would only take 1 DISKSIDE. but yours take ONE and a HALF. so your mag LOOSES the USER-FRIENDLIES when i always have to turn the disk over when i want to read another chapter !! yes, i could read CHAPTER AFTER CHAPTER so that i only have to turn the disk ONCE! but who does this ?? so i think you should only use ONE SIDE. i think that wouldn't be hard if you install a TEXT-PACKER into your mag like MAMBA or CORRUPTION!! some of the chapters need more than 70 or 80 blocks on disk! so i ask you, "is this necessary ??". i think not !! so i hope that you will take again my ADVICE and install a TEXT-PACKER !! and again i wanna remember that this text isn't ment BAD,it's just a HELP for you how you could IMPROVE you mag! so hope to hear soon from you !! yours faithfully, jack (viper) dear jack, thanx again for the long reaction and i will try the best i can to make the next issue only 1 side... sorry that it's still 2 sides but you know why... ---------------------------------------- some of you have complained about the GRAPHIX and MUSIC for those who don't like the graphix: "i hope you like the graphix in the next issue better!" for those who didn't like the music: "i hope these tunes are better!" but MUSIC and GRAPHIX is something that has to do with TASTE and you can never satisfy everybody!!! ---------------------------------------- well,that was all for this time... if there's anything you like to react on ---------------------------------------- "BRUTAL RECALL!"
