News of November 2003
  • BliesNet (now an officially registered organization) is planning a big LAN party for march 2004, with up to 100 participants (18+ years) in Zweibrücken. All details and a forum can be found on the brand-new NetParty eXtreme homepage.

News of Juli 2003
  • New application announcement: In a couple of weeks we will release a new utility titled SharpTranslate (codename: XL8#), which supports the localization of software. The first version will concentrate on the translation of stringtables. Special focus will be on an extensive export/import functionality as well as easy integration with Visual Studio .NET and MQ!Engine 2.

News of Juni 2003
  • We have published a report which describes our plans for porting MF-Soft/MF-Games products to the .NET platform. This report tells you which programs will be ported and which ones won't.
  • The layout of our title page has been revamped.
  • After digging a little in our MS DOS archive, we have picked out the following small programs from the "old times" for you: ASCII-Paint, Universal Graphics und City Quest! 2. (All of these programs are in German.) Please read the instructions on each download page before downloading the files.

News of Mai 2003
  • Taking immediate effect, MF-Tronic can be reached at our new address www.mftronic.com (or www.mftronic.de for the German site). Please update your bookmarks!
  • On our product pages you can find a new section titled Mini Tools where we will post small utility programs that MF-Soft has created. Have a look at it here! (Use with no warranty and at your own risk.)
  • In the recent months there has not been much activity concerning MF-Soft's projects. The reason for this is the fact that our software is undergoing a portation from Win32 Native Code to .NET Managed Code. Practically, this means that we have to decide for each project whether it is terminated or completely rewritten. This requires a considerable effort, and only some applications can be converted. However we are confident that it will be worth it - for us, the developers, as well as for you, the customers.

  • The first beta version of the SRS setup generation tool InstallCore is done. Try it for yourself today! (The setup requires Windows Installer.)

News of Oktober 2002
  • Because of some technical problems with the homepage database, we were unable to update our website recently. Now that all this has been fixed again, we will continue our service as usual.
  • An English version of our homepage will soon be offered for our international visitors. We plan to keep both sites identical from the contents, and link those parts to the German version which have not been translated. As of now, this version is still under construction.
  • The release of the first version of the new installation tool InstallCore will be slightly delayed. You can expect the first version within the next months.
  • As posted on the MQ!Engine forum, the next official version will feature a true network multiplayer mode. Continuing this way we plan to create a full-blown online mass-multiplayer game in the future - and you can expect lots of cool features! Of course we will not drop the single player mode for this.
  • Starting today, the MQ!Engine Development Team will post news, up-to-date information and previews on upcoming features to the MQ!Engine forum. If you're interested in MQ!Engine, this is a place to check out often! [This forum is in German.]

  • Announced: MF-Soft is currently working on a new installation tool for developers. This program named InstallCore will enable software authors to rapidly and easily build SRS-compatible setup programs and updates.
