Fallas Party'95 by The Lords Of The Bits [web]
The Fallas Party Intro Info
0. The "Bugfixed" Version
This is supposed to be the bugfixed version of the FP'95 intro invitation,
but it isn't fixed ;-))). We have made little modifications... now the letters
flicker only at high samplerates... so I think ;-)))
We don't use that music system either, so we were too lazy to rewrite the
routines again to fix this shit... so we have done all we could do in an
evening :)). The result is still a shit, but it really works better than
before!!! ;-))
Well, I have only modified this info file at the greetings, because we have
meet a lot of people since we released the intro... ;-))
If you can be interested in the sources of this intro... well, ask us for
them... we haven't any secrets ;-)))
Special thanks to:
- All the people that came to the FP'95
- Rancid /Penumbra Productions for our African HQ ;-)
- Pallbearer/Toxic Zombies for his interest in our intro for the CD.
Now the info file:
Hi there! Here BladeRunner! This is suposed to be the info file for the After
Fallas Party Intro Invitation... so ya would excuse my annoying English, cauze
I'm only a victim of the Spanish foreign language (this means only a foreign
language before going to college!) way-of-teaching (this also means that I'll
not make as many jokes in this info file as I really desire)... So, way to go!!
1. What is this shit and why it is supposed to be called intro?
This is our first "serious" release, and fear us, because we are going to
continue doing harm (this means, continue coding) ;-) OK, the routines aren't
as good as they should, but we are lazy (and we have a very good weather in our
country that helps us to relax and don't get excited with coding all da day
long... (ya know what for nice babes we have here in Valencia? ;-D) Well, it is
supposed to be called intro because we took all the original code from
wellknown major groups (we wouldn't mention his names to avoid embarrassing
them and get ourselves killed ;-D) and couldn't made it better, we not only
made it bad, we made it much worse as we could imagine in our most horrifying
nigthmares ;-D. But we said:"Hey, if we don't get this shit out nobody will
come to our cool gathering of Spanish Scene Dudes!", so we though that it
would be hard to see people faces after they had seen this, but we need our
pals in there!! ;-)) Don't blame us, we promise you to get out a megaextracool
production, but not yet! ;-DDDDDDD
2. Tecnical notes (or something similar)
We used the following tools to create this crime against good taste and scene
cool people:
- Turbo C++ 3.1 from Borland
- Tasm 3.1 from Borland too
- XLIB 2.something by Themie Gouthas
- FastTracker 2.03
- Fake demo & BytesandKisses sources (only in the last time)
- Pkzip and pklite
- Lzexe
- Our unvaluable time (this means, about 33 minutes really wanting this thing
to get out!)
Thanx to JL Enterprises ans Pelusa/PM for his sources... in the last time (a
day before releasing this [for me this means today] I got deleted the code of
the loader and the sound routines I was doing for the intro (don't talk me
about security copies!!!), I hadn't any other way that taking the code from
elsewhere... thanx again!!!
A comment: Have ya noticed that the blastersound bbs intro is much better than
ours? ;-D
We can do it even worse with better tools, I swear!
The hardware we used was the following:
- 386sx16 with a vga card and a disk controller built in the motherboard
(courtesy of Olivetti) (HighHacker)
- 386sx40 with a 512Kb Cirrus vga card (2 weeks before I still had a 8088
running in the same place ;-D) (BladeRunner)
- 386dx25 with a very old vga card (what was that flickering in the screen?)
(Wally)
- 486sx25 with a owner that doesn't know how to use it (I like Windows)
(Apodo)
2.1 Last hour motherfucking technical notes
As we built up the executable we found out that sound routines fuck in someway
the execution. The jumping letters get deleted in some computerz and the speed
is increased, as we haven't the soundsources (they were built in an .OBJ file)
and we can't modify the letters routine (done in C) to fix this bug. But we'll
distribute this (it really works in a lot of computerz, so if yars doesn't want
to run this, try it out at your friends computer ;-D).
Another problem ya can encounter is running the demo on a 286. The loader and
player requires a 386, so we have added an executable called RUN286.EXE that
will show the jumping letters without sound (sorry: no time) on a 286.
The final shit is the size of this no-way-to-call-it-intro. We haven't
compressed the final executable (so ya can rip the mod file for yar collection
;-). Note that the letters routine is totally made in C (lame! ;-D)... don't
blame us please!!
3. "Who should ya kill for this?" or "Who made what?" section
Repetitive Muzak & Cool ANSI ----------------------> Wally
Original Jumping Letters Code That It Really Runs --> HgH
Laborious Grafix -----------------------------------> Apodo
Horrible Fonts and Faked Loader & Zound Routines ---> BladeRunner
So if ya wanna kill someone for this (specially BladeRunner, cauze he was the
being who couldn't fix the bugs ;-D, hey, this is BladeR saying this!)... ya
know the names of the dudes who made it... (heheheheh)
4. Who we are?
We are a group of cool Spanish boys looking for a girlfriend (and if we
continue working with computers we'll never see a truly girl in our lives
long!) and not for become one of the best groups in the scene (as ya can see,
we just can't! ;-D). Not, really... we all are friends since a long time ago,
we have similar likings (you hitted! this means computerz) and dislikes ;-D.
Last year (1994) I was in a crack team with a guy called... I don't want to
remenber his name, perhaps it was...: Pestor.... but the only who made any
crack was me. I wanted to jump into the scene, but I hadn't (and still I
haven't!) enough knowledges. In April I meet Wally for the first time, as he
told me that he liked so much the scene and that he had made some mod tunes I
asked him to get into TLOTB. So we took Apodo (a very good friend of mine that
doesn't like computers but does really enjoy reading and drawing comics ;-D)
with us. HighHacker (HgH) asked us to be part of the group so we were a truly
demoteam with a gfxman, musician and coders. Before having HgH with us Wally
made his first (and by the time only) MusicDisk, that was out too early (the
tunes aren't the eight wonder, but they sounded really good for me in those
times). After this Mikel/Iguana_TLOTB asked us to make BlasterSound our WHQ,
we owe too much to Mikel (thanx you for all pal!! Someday we would pay you all
what ya have done for us). After the summer my computer was requised by my
mother ;-D (I had a 386sx16) and I had to build in secrecy a computer (the
infamous 8088). But 2 weeks ago I returned to the world of 386's!!! Tailgunner
joined us before Cristhmas, he has no computer but he does like them. We are
trying to become our first demo in May now... we are TLOTB!!!! (this was quite
dramatic if I can say ;-D)
