Published on: September 27, 2014
Hello Folks, I released in April this year the first version of my TDF – TheDraw Fonts File Tool for Windows. ??I released version 1.0.1.0 shortly after without making a special announcement. It introduced some improvements to the interface and new feature (which did not work :(, but it does now hehe).   What’s New in Version 1.2.0? Summary Custom Preview Text Option Fixed (it was always reverting to “My Text” before) Build-In TheDraw and DOSBOX Emulator to launch current font directly in the EDITOR Figlet Font Types Import Support (.FIG, .FLF, .FIGLET and .ZIP (zipped Figlet Fonts) Ansi Text Editor (ATE) Font Types (.ATEF) Import & Export Support Some other bug fixes, such as sudden crashes after sorting fonts by title etc. Collection of over 550 Fonts included now!   Custom Preview Text (fixed)?? The not working feature to specify a custom preview text that I introduced to Version 1.0.1.0 is now working. I did not even noticed the bug myself until I wrapped up the current version, that’s why I did not release a bug fix earlier already. Anyhow. I think its a nice feature, especially, if you are looking for an ANSI logo for your group, site or whatever and want to see right away, how it looks in a particular font. This makes even more sense now, since the number of fonts already included as extra in the ZIP package is way beyond 550! by now (actually close to 580). Build-In TheDraw and DOSBOX MS DOS[…]

How to Structure your OSDM Script Code

Hi Folks, Here is another tutorial for “Oldskool Demomaker” users out there. This time not a tutorial for an entire demo, but some general tips for creating your own multi-part demos with OSDM. This tutorial was originally published in 2010 at the OSDM Support Wiki. I decided to re-post it at my blog, because the Wiki wasn’t always up and running, as much as my own site unfortunately. Anyway, consider this another backup, just in case hehe. If your productions grow bigger and your script code longer, it makes sense to start structuring your code to keep things clean and organized and avoid headaches later on. Here is how I usually structure the code for my own multi-part demos that are entirely controlled via OSDM Script. The general idea behind this structure is to “split” your demo into multiple “mini demos” and keep them pretty much independent from each other. That makes it easy to add additional parts or to rearrange the order of your existing parts. There are typically some exceptions, like the music, which does not necessarily change with every part of the demo (although it could of course). Each part starts with the display stopped, which allows the loading and initializing of the effects that you are going to use for the part without showing any artifacts on the screen visible for the viewer of your demo. Once everything is in place you enable the display to fade in your initial setup of the part. Then you[…]
