The Fallas Party Intro Info

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)

We are still looking for a gfxman that likes the scene more than our
actual graphics artist ;-D, so we want another coder who can laugh about
our programmig knowledges ;-)...

Antes de nada quiero dar las gracias a Pepe el hermano de Wally, pues as¡ fue
como lo conoci, por supuesto a Wally por aguantarme casi todos los viernes
por la tarde en su casa cuando los discos de 5"¬ iban y ven¡an como cromos 8-)
Tambi‚n tengo que agradecer a Bladerunner por soportarme,algun dia tendre mi
propia makina...
Tengo que agradecer como no, a Santi Sanchez por los viejos tiempos, a High
Hacker y Pablo por dejarme usar de vez en cuando su 286.

Quiero saludar a los chicos del Underground Movement que se lo kurran mucho,
a Jorge alias "Goyena",Chus, Iv n y su perra, Apodo (eh mola el logo), Hector,
Raul, Vicente y David Martinez que tiene mucho pan del bueno y todos los
dientes careados.

Se me olvidaba MacGyver, por su circuito, aunque dudo mucho que encuentre
las piezas.



Apodo greetings:

I doesn't know anybody in the scene (except my pals in TLOTB!)
