I'm looking for old intros from STCS & Blade Runners.

Here are those I already have:

Thanx in advance.

There is the one that Alex Herbert (coder of Goldrunner 2) wrote for Bladerunners at my request!

Will dig out the disk and send you a file if you'd like it?

Thx

Can you post the pics up here at some point and I'll see if you've already got the one that Alex Herbert did for them?

Think you have to upload them to some space and then link them to here if I remember ..

I have several intro-compils, maybe there are some from the Replicants and STCS on them.
No time to check them ATM, but you can registrate to my website and load the demo compils

None of them are the Alex Herbert intro .. I'm almost sure it was on a disk I imaged from the Harry collection - but that means checking each disk for "old style" cracks.

What impresses me most is that a lot of the early ones were GFA BASIC v2 based hence them having extra files on the disk for the music and pictures etc. for the intros.

very old wiht no gfx...

Weird one, no music and almost no gfx.

Are you sure you didn't miss a file for the music?

Thx.

bodkinz · Post by **bodkinz** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 2:48 pm

may well be what was mentioned before about the music etc being in seperate files.. and maybe a couple of other things...

Spy+ will tell you what files are being requested by the .PRG file .. probably because it's compiled GFA and has the ERROR traps set to continue etc. if there's a file error.

Depack the .PRG and look through the code for the filenames - easy enough to spot.

Ouhpss...

Thx Zorro2.

I guess we have all Blade Runners intros on that thread now. If you find any other intro, please share

I have put a lot old Atari intros on pouet in case you are interested, including these ones.

Can imagine how big that list would get if we took time to add all the intros from the POV's, Bytes TCDs and Ripped Off disks .. OK, there would be some repeats, but (yet another) worthy project to attempt.

keops · Post by **keops** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 11:17 pm

Intros from CDs were usually lame, I don't submit them on pouet, they usually all look alike. It would not make much sense to have 500 automation menus on pouet for instance...

I submitted a few cool ones from Automation, D-Bug and Pompey Pirates but that's it

Post by **Mug UK** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 8:24 am

True .. there was a lot of source re-using in a lot of the menu groups. We've got most (if not all - The Source!) demo compilation menus on the FTP.

Sorry .. partly my fault as I'd not realised that typing in those 3 letters F, T & P would cause them to assume that I was entering a hyperlink.

As for the SuperSki intro .. if you run TOSTrace from my website, before the intro, pressing Ctrl & Enter will show you what files etc. have been loaded first.

I reckon there's another file on the disk which has the graphics in it as per other Bladerunners intros. You can tell they were done pre-GFA v3 and/or Devpac 2 as there's no "incbin" or "inline" commands in the earlier compilers.
