Organized by the team of orange Juice and the crews Bomb, Nomad, Pulse
and rIBBON, the LTP 3 took place to Crosne (in the Essonne), to the south of
Paris, the last weekend of August. This CP was a little particular since it was
oriented oldschool and that it didn't have any sponsors. Rooms have been
limited voluntarily to 300, to avoid to have to manage a thick CP of the style
'Volcanic' (some see what I mean by saying this).
Having had the favorable echoes of the two previous editions, I decided to
make a tour there in company of the Popsy Team, that one doesn't present
anymore because one sees them everywhere. On IRC, Boub announces me that
his/her/its group organizes a round-trip in minibus. I decide to jump on the
opportunity. I arrive the vigil at Boub, and we look at a video of the
JEMS 98 (I confess have died to laugh in viewing the sequence where Senser and
a boy of Melon Design make hardly wake up itself/themselves one hour after
having gone to bed!). After a short night, we are ready to leave. We are 9 and
the minibus includes 9 rooms, but as there were quite a lot of hardwares,
therefore we were somewhat tight (sorry boys, I know, my Falcon is very
cumbersome). No matter, we left early in the morning, let's move to Paris!
Toward 11h30, we arrive on places. The CP was not even open, of the stroke
there was a monstrous tail before the entrance! One hour and later, of barrows
we are in the room. I am a small room in front of Senser and Dma Sc (you know,
the boy from Le Mée sur Seine :). I got in tip of table because I had brought a
PC and a Falcon, but only one monitor. And represent yourselves that towers
had to be to even soil and no on the table, to free room. The ambiance was to
the appointment and, in the afternoon, Chuck and Mics of Dune arrive and get
settled next to me. Chuck told me that he spent the last four days beginning a
demo for competition oldschool. I didn't present anything, but I was advancing
my screen for the Japemo of Hylst. As this was not hurried, I spun a stroke of
hand to Chuck for his/her/its demo. Ah, I forgot to specify you a thing: in
the night of Friday to Saturday, there was a cut of current. Alas, she/it took
just place just as Chuck protected his/her/its source on a disk, his/her/its
last back-up dating of some days! He/it was like a nutcase!!! It's a good thing
I had brought my Falcon and that I always have them utility under the hand.
With Zorg, I tried of recovered the deficient file, but he/it can only save by
slices of 512 octets. To the small happiness luck, we launched Diskus (that I
didn't know at all) and I saw an option protecting tracks in a file: hooray!
After having saved 720 KB of data in a file, the purification began. One hour
later, the source of the demo has can be saved. Ouf, what relief!!! 8-)
Alas, Chuck and Mic should have brought in Saturday evening. As for me,
I hit myself in a row a second sleepness night because I discovered a thing
that was me unknown: the internal network! In all present CPS, them PC is
joined between them via their card network. While not arranging,
Kanewood/Arkham proposed me gently to use his/her/its PC. Thanks to Dma Sc, I
joined the Falcon to the PC by a parallel cable a little special and, with
Parallel Copy, I could have recovered on the network what I wanted, to the
speed of 75 Ko/s all the same. And when I filled hard drives of the Falcon, I
plugged the parallel cable on my PC (that didn't have a card network - since, I
bought myself an of it). Now I understand why boys on PC come in the CPS with
their productions all make, like that they are calm to download what they want! 8-)
A small word by the way of demos oldschools. This competition regrouped
them as well Amiga 500 that the STF/STES. Alas, the video-spotlight didn't have
RGB entrance or Péritel, and it was necessary to shoot the demos ST to the
video camera ! Contrary to the JEMS 98, promoters of the LTP 3 were antagonized
very. Dr Yes cursed because the video-spotlight that they rented costed 300.000
FF, while the one of the last year, less dear, accepted the fashions video of
the ST! Competition oldschool united the demos Amiga and ST on one hand, there
was 4 demos ST, of him other 3 demos Amiga. Hey well the first demo is the one
of Scoopex on Amiga (you cannot fight against Scoopex; -), then the demo of
Dune arrived 2èmth, follow-up of very near by another demo Amiga. A pity for
them others, yet the GFA demo of Cyg was a very good level. There was also a
DCK megademo, but with Senser one looked at himself and one said himself that
the guy had taken the well stocked examples with the DCK!!! And finally there
was a small intro of Oxythan where sprites changed according to the volume of
the soundchip on the 3 ways. To part the demo in DCK, the presented productions
were a good level.
The last day, promoters, that are besides very friendly, was to the
wadding to give results. A few more of one hour of waiting! I benefitted some
to give a phone call to Telsud and Thyrex: -). Finally, the discount of prices
took place. And as to nearly all CPS, it is Made/Bomb that took back the
contest of graphics and Rez/Tpolm^Eclipse that took back the contest of music.
In spite of these two heavy weights, the presented productions were very
numerous.
Very few present atarists, alas, but that is the ambiance that counts, no?
There was:
Participants came from afar, there is even a that came from Canada of
it... Others came from Russia or Spain. The negative point was nevertheless
cuts of current, but greet nevertheless the electrician who bent in four to
satisfy desires of promoters.
And I forgot most important: NO GAMERZ! Hey yes, the CP was forbidden
gamerzes, it is maybe for it that the presented productions were as numerous,
in all domains. In short, for me, it is about THE best CP since the Volcanic
Party 3. With Dma Sc one got okay: strongly the next year!!!
