Tales of Tamar

Hi to all !

I am a new user and i don' t know if here is the right place to post

I am an italian amiga user ( AMIGA OS 4.0 with Micro ) and i have just downloaded the demo version of the amiga client..

I have some problems, when i run the game for the first time it ask me for the screen mode, the only screen mode that works fine for me is " radeon 640x480 8bit "..

The others resoultion are " PAL or NTSC high and low resoultion "..

I can see the menu but i cannot see the mouse !.. even if i can click on the options i cannot see where the mouse is !?..

Is there some kind of workaround to solve this problem ?

Is an AMIGA OS 4.0 PPC Version planned in the future ?, maybe with 3D support ?

I'd like to try the demo to fully understand the game and then buy the " full version "

Hi Nubechecorre (what for a name! )

Its the second time that i heard of an mouse problem on Amiga OS 4.0. Which version of OS4.0 do you have installed ?

Hi !

I have amiga os 4.0 final + July Update ( released 1 week ago ) + 512Mbram + Soundblaster Live and Radeon 7000 32Mb ram

My nickname is an indian name in english should be something like " dancing clouds "

For the mouse change in your workbench prefs the mouse to high resolution, after that it will show again..

Ok maybe the problem is the pointer prefs because with amiga os 4.0 we can use a new type of icon for the mouse, a 32bit icon image and maybe the problem is this..

I' ll change the mouse icon and i will tell you if then it works..

I tried to change the mouse pointer from the new type to the old type, but nothing i cannot see the pointer.. Maybe is the resolution ? i use a 640x480 radeon 8 bit screenmode..

The others are pal and ntsc resolution..

Do you have tried also other screenmodes like 1024*768 or 1280*1024 in 16 or 32 bit ?


Press the CTRL-key during start. You will get a screenmode-requester then for changing the resolution. I am really sorry, but atm i dont know what the reason is for that problem.

You don't have to change the general type, but the resolution of the mouse pointer.. there is a high res option. Once set, you will see the pointer. I had the problem, too, unfortunately my A1 is broken, so i cannot verify the exact setting.

It's strange because my setting of the pointer is high resolution.. i'll try to change the video setting by pressing the control key..

If i press CTRL key during the boot i get only these video modes..

here a grab of my video modes available during the boot.. i also get a grim reaper when i run the game, i select " ignore errors " and the game starts.. the error is about the powerpc.library

Do you have other screenmodes in "screenmode/preferences"

Hope to not skip something usefull.. is there a way to redirect the output to a file instead a console ?

I still miss the very first line of the debug with the version info. Sorry...


Please have again a look at the debug file...

To put the debug to a file just write this in the shell:

tot-client-debug >HD:Dir/File.txt
