(I have 55 issues, is that all of them?)Have you visited that AF wiki page yet? They are all links to the actual scans, not uploaded into AF Wiki.bid wrote:I dont think it is a good idea, or easy to upload PDF's into the Wiki? Please someone tell me if I am write or wrong?
Not entirely sure what you are talking about wing and wii.bid wrote: If there is someone here who is doing the Wiki, they can then link to this. Wing, I think if you like the Wii, why cant the ST Format Sites links be added. There is at least 2 sites with ST Format info, and a guy here wanting to do a new one.
May be a Brit joke ??At least 4-5 already done. And there will be a bunch of them come Dec when MugUK get the lot of magazines.bid wrote: I think that the modus operendi is to get the magazines scanned in. I have some in the attic, but I am only willing to do some if other do as well, and I want to know what has been done already?
I have added Format for HTML, PDF or GIF or whatever there is.StickHead wrote:Great idea to put a progress list on the wiki, wongck, but we need to separate that table up into 'complete scans (pdf)' and 'HTML version' to make it really useful. Also a column called 'in progress' where people could put their names to tell others they plan to scan an issue would help avoid people doubling up. Also, lets not just limit it to STF; there are many super ST mags with lots of great content.
Then we would need a central hub where everyone could upload their .pdf files via ftp and proliferate them (proliferation is the best preservation). We can't do this on the wiki, as the bandwidth costs would be unfair to the decent folk who pay the hosting for this forum.
RE: OCRing and HTMLing mags on my old website: This was done so that they could be viewed on Atari machines connected to the internet. Crazy, I know, but they looked pretty sweet on a Falcon.
Good find!!StickHead wrote:I just came across this site: http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?
They have some scans of STart magazine, which I believe is an American magazine. The scans aren't of exemplary quality, but readable.
A quick shufty through my hard drives has revealed complete .pdf collections of ACE magazine which I know has ST content. Bonus!
They also have STF #39! That saves a night's worth of scanning!
Can these be uploaded into some FTP site?Shredder11 wrote:Yeah I downloaded a 4.10GB torrent full of the ACE magazine pdf files. Been wanting to get them back for years ever since I chucked my haul of mags in the bin during the 1990s. The quality of the scans is very good too.
StickHead wrote:Wow, scan envy. My ACE collection only stretches to 2.5gb
At least I'm not missing any.Shredder11 wrote:I also have 55 issues.
So much so that they could never help themselves but refer to the Amoeba Games Machine instead of Amiga.STF really didn;t help themselves sometimes and I think were trying too hard to not be a games magazine
Yeah, always on the look out to fill in the blanks, I don't check the forum much, so send me a PM if you have any luck, theres a few bits in the "incomming" folder to go online at some point, (mental note to self to re-do the site!).Dal wrote:I have a load of them. Not sure if I have them all - they're packed away at the moment, but I can probably have a look over the weekend and compare against the ones you have.
I really need to figure out how to do this with a back-end database!Great!STFormatJez wrote:There’s now a full index of all STF game reviews – not just those with on-line content. http://www.stformat.com/games/index_all.html
Not great... why/when did it go down??STFormatJez wrote:The full games index has a (java script) search box too and you can sort by column. I think since the LGD went down there’s no other on-line index of all STF game reviews??
