08-Jan-06: Hollywood 2.0 released
Airsoft Softwair are proud to announce that the biggest update in Hollywood history is now available. Hollywood 2.0 is a massive update with endless new features. The program and its documentation have almost doubled in size. Here is a brief overview of the major new features of Hollywood 2.0 but there are tons more:

	Programming language: Hollywood has a completely new, state-of-the-art 64-bit script language which is dynamically typed and thus, extremely flexible.
	Sprites: Hollywood now offers a fully featured sprite library that is implemented completely in software. Hence, there are no limitations in sprite size, frames, colors and so on. With sprites, a lot of cool things are possible.
	Music library: The new music library allows playback of MP3 files and Protracker modules. Ptahiplay.library is no longer required!
	AROS support: Hollywood is now available for the i386 version of the Amiga Research Operating System AROS. On AROS native, Hollywood 2.0 gives a stunning performance on modern PCs. Additionally, AROS support means that you can compile x86 native AROS executables also from MorphOS, AmigaOS3 or 4 now.
	Antialias: Antialiasing is now fully implemented for TrueType fonts on all systems. Drawing routines are very fast even on 68k because of highly-optimized code.
	Powerful scheduler: Hollywood's new, powerful scheduler allows you to create exactly timed scripts which run at the same speed on every system.
	Alpha channel support: Hollywood supports graphics with an alpha channel now. Thus, it supports graphics with up to 32-bits per pixel now. Highly optimized drawing routines give excellent results even on 68k systems.
	Clip regions: Hollywood provides powerful clipping functions now that allow you to clip your graphics even to custom shaped regions (like circles, rectangles with round edges and so on).
	Collision detection: Fast pixel-exact collision detection is now offered. Even alpha channel information is taken into account by the collision detection!
	New off-screen rendering functions: All graphics calls can be used now to render to brush masks and alpha channels, too. Paves the way for unique special effects!
	New GUI: The GUI has been completely rewritten and is much more functional now. It has a showcase that lists all the examples that come with Hollywood and also has screenshots and information about them.
	New examples: Hollywood 2.0 comes with over 15 cool new examples that demonstrate the new features. Hollywood has now over 45 examples in total.
	Dramatic speed improvements: The image processing functions are up to 10 times faster now on WarpOS because the PPC is used now for everything! The drawing library is also much faster now.
	Layer improvements: When removing layers, Hollywood will now use special undo effects which work just the other way round. Furthermore, layers can be given names now. This makes it much easier to work with them because the names do not change like the ids! Finally, anim layers are possible now.
	DOS functions: Hollywood 2.0 brings many new DOS functions including a powerful CopyFile() function which can copy whole directories and is customizable through a callback function.
	New button library: A much more flexible button library has superseded the old one. The new button library calls functions instead of labels and has more features!
	Sample library: The PlaySample() command offers many more options now and can trigger OnSampleEnd and OnSampleLoop events for perfect script timing!
	Doublebuffer: Hollywood 2.0 has functions for setting up a double buffered display. Double buffer scaling is fully implemented.
	Drawing library: All commands of the draw library can draw alpha-blended graphics now, too. Additionally, there are some new functions like Arc() which draws a partial ellipse, and FloodFill() which fills a bordered region with a color.
	Compiler: The Hollywood compiler has been completely rewritten and is more configurable now. You can embed version strings and more information in your executables. It is also possible to fix the settings of your compiled scripts; for instance, you can create an executable that will only run in full screen mode.
	New fillstyles: All drawing functions can use additional fill styles. Hollywood supports the fill styles 'gradient' and 'texture' now.
	Image export: You can now save your brushes to files and also save snapshots of your script from within Hollywood!
	Independence: Hollywood does no longer require the guigfx.library, render.library, and ptahiplay.library.
	Full 1.x compatibility: Although the kernel has been completely exchanged, Hollywood 2.0 is fully compatible with the previous versions. All your scripts should run fine with Hollywood 2.0, and Hollywood Designer and Malibu do not need any updates, either.

Starting with Hollywood 2.0, the program does no longer work on systems without a graphics board. A hi/true color screenmode is now required. Hollywood comes on a CD-ROM that contains versions for all supported platforms: There are native versions of the program for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS, AmigaOS4 and for the first time AROS (i386). A download version is also offered. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood 1.x, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. Here are some screenshots of Hollywood 2.0 in action:

Hollywood 2.0 is Airsoft Softwair's definite Multimedia experience (Code name: Vision.1) and was given 10 of 10 points throughout by all of its beta testers. On top of all those features, Hollywood also has a cross-compiler which allows you to save executables for any platform that Hollywood supports.

22-May-05: Hollywood for AROS
Airsoft Softwair are proud to announce that all future versions of Hollywood will also be released for the free Amiga Research Operating System AROS. An internal beta version of Hollywood 2.0 was already successfully ported to i386 native AROS and works great. Here are some screenshots of Hollywood in action on AROS: With native support for AROS, the circle is finally closed and Hollywood supports all the different Amiga compatible operating systems. Of course, AROS support means also that you can create i386 native AROS programs with your Hollywood version running on AmigaOS4, MorphOS, AmigaOS3 or WarpOS. Furthermore, AROS users can compile their scripts for MorphOS, AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4 or WarpOS. So no matter which Hollywood version you use, you can always save your scripts for all the different Amiga platforms. Stay tuned, as there is more to come.

20-Mar-05: Updates for Hollywood, Designer and Malibu
Airsoft Softwair are proud to announce new updates for the popular Hollywood product line. As of today, Hollywood 1.93, Hollywood Designer 1.01 and Malibu 1.11 are available in versions for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and now for the first time also for AmigaOS4, PPC native which brings incredible speed improvements over the versions for classic Amigas. This is definitely the perfect Easter gift for all Amiga enthusiasts!

Hollywood 1.93
Hollywood is the ultimate Multimedia engine for your Amiga computer. It is a highly optimized program which offers a flexible script language that allows you to create all kinds of Multimedia applications, ranging from simple presentations to games and GUI applications, without specific knowledge of programming languages. Core of Hollywood is its Multimedia Application Layer which provides a large set of functions to create almost everything you desire in a short time. Hollywood 1.93 brings along a great new feature which has been anticipated by many users: Hollywood can now compile your scripts into native AmigaOS4 executables from any platform that is supported by Hollywood. The update to Hollywood 1.93 is available for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and finally, Hollywood has now landed on AmigaOS 4.0 PPC.

Hollywood Designer 1.01
Hollywood Designer is a state of the art "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) presentation editor which is the ideal tool for users who prefer to click their presentations together instead of typing Hollywood scripts. Using the established slide based concept, you can create professional presentations on your Amiga now within minutes. Hollywood Designer 1.01 adds the possibility to save your presentations as AmigaOS4 programs. Besides that, you can also save AmigaOS3, WarpOS and MorphOS programs. The update to Hollywood Designer 1.01 is available for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and for the first time also for AmigaOS 4.0 PPC.

Malibu 1.11
Malibu is a plugin for Hollywood that allows Hollywood to load and display your old Scala presentations. This is especially useful because Scala does not work on graphics boards and also has its problems with modern Amigas. With Malibu, your Scala scripts run in a window on Workbench or on an Intuition screen! Furthermore, your Scala presentations will look much better with Malibu because it does not map all colors into a 256 color palette. Malibu 1.11 is an AmigaOS 4.0 version of Malibu 1.1, which is already available for AmigaOS3 and MorphOS. There are no new features except that it is now PPC native and thus much faster than the 68k version.

Ordering
If you order Hollywood, Hollywood Designer or Malibu, you will get a CD-ROM that contains versions for all platforms that are supported by the programs including AmigaOS4. If you already have one or more of the products, you should order the update kit which allows you to update your installed AmigaOS3, WarpOS and MorphOS versions. The update kit also contains the AmigaOS4 versions of all programs so you can use it to upgrade to the AmigaOS4 version. Please note: There is only one update kit available. This kit contains all updates for Hollywood, Hollywood Designer and Malibu. The update kit can be ordered for 20 Euros from the order page at this website. Please also note that you need a valid installation of Hollywood 1.9 to apply the updates.
