ZX-news - On the opening "Black Crow".

(C) Werewolves' Ars

 WW> Hmm ... A news something special, no! Senya has lost (or 
again proplavil:) your hard disk and therefore ZX-World-News 
will only about the Black Crow and a couple of local news.



      * Origin: -= Made by Copper Feet =- (2:5030 / 362.4)


                   ++++++++ WARNING +++++++++

 Highlighting all aspects of development and dissemination of 
CV, we can not dwell on such a nasty and slippery subject, as a 
hacker activities with respect to poor program ... So:


 1. Work on opening the FT, of course, is from the early days
appearance of the full version (I know at least three places
hacker's activity). It has long ceased to exist craftsmen juzat 
shadow monitor and madzhik button, but a serious threat remains.

 2. Dispelled stupid hacker fiction that any protection
removed 1-2 hours (for a month or two, maybe ;)))).
 3. However, it is clear more and more likely that the broken
Raven appears. Time is on hackers: (((
 4. It is clear also that the return on a project for the 
development of which It took half a year for two or three 
months is impossible.  5. This is especially true amid 
declining number of users of the Spectrum. 

 Actually, the situation is. If two or three years ago, a 
frantic hacking activity could seriously shake the stability

dissemination of copyright works, there are currently any
hacking can ever avert the development of major commercial 
projects: (.  Therefore, in order to get ahead klyatyh hackers, 
give them WARNING: 

 "If even one person refuses to acquire Spectrum
game, "Black Crow", referring to the opportunity to buy / get
broken line version, no further work on the Copper Feet'ov
Spectrum will be limited only to manufacturing levels as 
aforesaid program! " 

 Links to the ignorance of this warning shall not be 
considered. And the absence of all, type "Unknown hacker 
present ... " 

 At the time, Yuri Matveev beautifully said: "I do not tolerate 
that someone tried to take a group of STEP for the eggs ... 
"The time has come and I join it ...


 For my part, fever smack too early :))). But it is better "too 
early" rather than "too late" ... 

                      C Warm greetings, Glory!

 WW> I probably can not help but comment .... Well, not
resist:). In general, I am sorry that this warning will sound 
nothing (as we would like that I was wrong). All the trouble 
that Physically impossible to monitor all of this angle, called

proudly: Scoop:). Over the hill and then moan from pirates 
(again, the same Russian mafia is the strongest).  Ars> Over 
the hill, Denya, honor the copyright, and the violator shall be 
under the law. Litigation (on any about:) There are common. And 
even more so if the sale pirated software is a particular 
material damage. Whether business we have not (yet);)


 WW> Speaking of MAFIA ;-). We have, in Minsk, MK broken off one
moment, in spite of its bloody and dangerous warning
trafficked into Rafik steep menov in dark glasses in order to 
suppress Illegal sales:)

 Ars> Actually, I do not think that behind the hill it comes to 
such action (well, maybe in Italy somewhere:). Everything is 
much easier theft program no less a violation than stealing

purse. But, of course, this does not mean that everything out 
there right trembling, fearing to be seen for the debugger:) 
Interesting thought I heard from Oldman'a if I'm not mistaken, 
what is at stake violence the most advanced hackers are forced 
to work on good company, for example Microsoft's, providing 
them with appropriate salary:). But it's probably too

Rainbow ending:)

 Jokes - jokes, but when you consider segodnyashee state of 
affairs in Spectrum is not funny.


 WW> in Minsk Crow still has not got (Unfortunately. The people 
here all the came forth in expectations, and it seemed to raise 
money for wholesale purchase). But there are others who are 
just waiting for download debugger;).

 Ars> Actually, as everywhere else ...

 Unfortunately WARNING, came from the Copper Feet remained 
without attention. And now began to receive reports of burglary 
and CV even threatening to distribute it to all free of charge.


 In this regard, it should give one more WARNING for those who 
expect crack'nutuyu version of CV:



        Cracked versions of "Black Crow" OBSTRUCTION!

 Who could doubt it ... According to available data glitch
occurs at the 7 th level, 1 st part of (the people) beyond which
pass game is not possible. Apparently, this is only
one of protection tripped. How many of them still in the entire 
game known only to B. Mednonogovu. Also, do not forget

possible incompatibility of shipments:) Naturally, that buying
broken line version means a waste of money.

 Nevertheless, the fact that disregard for copyright
Product prompted Vyacheslav Mednonogova make the following
statement:

 "Poraskinuv brains, came to the conclusion that nerve enough:))


            Black Raven - 2. Preliminary advertising.

 So, drive with the missions are not scheduled to release 
(thanks to hackers), and planned FT-2. However, (thanks to 
hackers) fundamental changes in the game is not planned (will 
not be water / air objects, fog of war, the extended card

Other bells and whistles). Although it is not just a set of new
levels - remain in the FT-1 (WC1) and 128 IPA.
 The game will be released on one disc (scratched:) Music is 
supposed order or beans, or DNK (2All: to whom?). We introduce 
two new hero (in place runners and Grizoldy), two new spells 
(for place far vision), 4-5 new landscapes. Because mission now

will be rigidly adhered to the game - an opportunity to greatly
diversify the quest element of the game. Work is tentatively
take 3-4 months (hopefully about timing it right;
;)))
 In what is planned to exit CV-3, 4,5,6,7, ... (How many
was Dizzy? :)
 ... While not sick or x-EASURES just will not reach.


                                     C Warm greetings, Glory! "

Ars> Yes, Werewolves, you're there like ordering the Mafia? 
Catch! :)

               Greetings to you, dear All!

 That means I read it echoes almost a week, and since I'm in
FIDO new man, hesitated to write, but finally my
patience is exhausted ...

 Gentlemen! How much can dilute waste of time around the Black 
Raven and hackers?

 Well do not you understand that as long as traders are, then 
there will be hackers. But you say that we are supposedly 
talking about piracy here. Again as long as Commercial 
software, then there will be those who break it. AND let's call 
type "eradicate" these people, imho complete nonsense. Because 
if if you exclude all those people, then the market will remain 
completely without software. Because most of them are the same 
traders. Dissenting explain that almost 90% of sellers 
reasoning, and why should I spend money on distribution when to 
get one working copy to give it a hacker, he had her "defang" 
and I earn almost nothing has been spent (and sometimes quite 
nothing).  So where is the exit, you ask?

 I believe that there is not way out in the hunt for pirates, 
and in capacity of production software and upgrade protection.

Protection to legitimate traders can earn a
distritbutivah and branded copies, while the rest of freeloader
will break the defense.
 But how to raise the production of programs? There are already 
more difficult, but as an example of the same CV - why not sell 
such glory engine from UFO2 or CV any group that is based on it

create a similar strategy, but with a different graphics, music,
missions, etc. After all, on other platforms, it is practiced 
and success. At the same time benefit all parties get a new 
user'y cool game, the author of engine recompense, the authors 
of the game profit from the game itself, well, traders are 
happy. Naturally the first bought distributions and take the 
main jackpot. And then we both it turns out, will cool game, 
all in touch, but a month passed, the game passed or even 
bothered, and again have to wait uncertainty Ryskov Infinite 
demo versions and beta releases. Here and there is an outflow 
of people. After all, if we say after the FT, let's say a month 
or two, left the game written on the engine from CV, but other 
content, people have not begun to think about care of Specchia, 
because began to appear regularly soft, though high quality. 
And yet, little appeal to our mnogovouvazhaemym encoders and 
organizeram. Guys, enough to rivet Games for youngsters, or 
those endless logical porn images. Well this is complete 
nonsense in our yard in 1998, and not 1989 games such little 
relevance, moreover, the authors vaasche can fly with a 
honorarium, and users remain neudovletvarennymi. And unless you 
do not feel sorry for their labor and time, you spend on 
regular-tac-toe with pictures of PlayBoy'ya instead to create a 
truly game. Well if it really wants, then just release DeMouy 
with the same images.

 Well, talk.
 If I accidentally hurt someone or hurt, I ask generously mnya
forgive, did not want.

                               Sincerely Jocker / OHG / Mafia 
pc. " 

 WW> Well, now the news from the MG ZX-Net.

 The main news is the collection of donations:) to fund a full 
version of EMS. At bbs'kah all messagi only about that. Me, all 
it's great fun. Instead, what would calmly collect sisopnik and 
all at once to chip - pre-election campaign goes directly to 
the choice of deputies, with stormy debate: our nick freeloader 
or not riders, $ 2 from the snout, or who may like ... 
Kindergarten! Okay, watched more:).


 Ars> Well, of course, what can you do:) With beer, then broken 
off. 

 Another no less important news is the creation of eh. I am, 
all I can not get together with the spirit;) download the damn 
ZED five hundred sectors that would appreciate this new form of 
communication. Senya which can tell;). 

 Ars> No, I better not say anything. Engage in their own reissue
works that hung in profusion on bbs'kam I'm not going.
But you said it was too typical of our network. : (

 WW> Freeman released his old game TETRIS :-). No, no
goosey. I hacked it all night ("I read somewhere, there is
people that sleep at night ... ":) the copyright is not 
mine;)). and found it far less, and poor (though intruha like 
pain:)).  Ars> Yes, Freeman got up. But Tankard in my opinion 
is obsessed with the their Flick:)


 WW> Brom'a chosen mainly to collect money for the EMS.

 Mythos is committed to the same, but the collection at the CV.

 The rest are engaged in the devil knows what:), and therefore 
nothing about it will not speak;).
