00:21:14[57th]cnealwoohoo
01:59:12[57th]cnealhey bake
01:59:21[57th]cnealHows the OS going?
02:04:44cronotrgyay
02:05:14[57th]cnealwoohoo
02:07:08[57th]cnealvgh
02:36:04cronotrgzoltan?
02:37:10cronotrghrm... I remember a zoltan from when Zophars Domain first started
02:38:21[57th]cnealHows the flyer going cronotrg?
02:38:44cronotrggood... I guess.
02:38:53cronotrgit'll be updated real soon
02:38:57[57th]cnealOk
02:39:19cronotrgthere were a few grammatical errors that I fixed up and some other stuff.
02:39:29[57th]cnealSo far I got 50 flyers sent out last week to my school, and one of them gave me a thumbs up on it
02:39:35cronotrgnice
02:40:05[57th]cnealoh
02:40:09[57th]cnealcheck this game out
02:40:20cronotrgI am getting paid this week on wednesday, so after I get that cashed, a few will be placed around town and other random stores
02:41:31[57th]cnealhttp://www.agdsoft.com/frameset.htm says that it will come out late 2002 when tuxbox will be out and it goes along with our stats + they are thinking about porting it to linux as well. Says it will be easy to port to different OS
02:42:30cronotrgnow, most of the games wont be open source, unless ported from GPL or a similar licence?
02:43:09[57th]cnealThe ones at sourceforge I think will be open source unless the project files are not hosted on the site
02:43:35[57th]cnealor I think they have to be
02:44:14[57th]cnealbut I'm not quite sure, maybe if no one finds out then it dosent have to be open source?
02:45:01cronotrgsounds good, cause a friend of mine, http://www.dcvision.com/crt0 , is thinking, after the tuxbox is fully released to get Wolfenstien 3D and/or Doom to the tuxbox, as it wont be hard/done otherwise, he doesn't want it to be opensource, so that's good
02:45:02[57th]cnealI'm just worried about OS being open source because thats where all the power comes from, so a game is not open source, that does not change anything, just find one that is and play/ edit around with that :)
02:46:06cronotrgyea.. try to refrain from that
02:46:34cronotrgthat game looks really nice.
02:47:00cronotrg*  http://www.agdsoft.com/frameset.htm
02:47:21cronotrgwell... im gonna rush for a minute, be back in a half hour or so.
02:47:44[57th]cnealheh, now I feel like playing wolfenstien :)
02:48:22[57th]cnealDoes he have the sourcecode to wolfenstien?
03:22:52cronotrg|awayyea\
03:22:53cronotrg|awaybah
03:23:11cronotrg|awayyea.. its opensource, or the loading executable of wolfenstien
03:24:02cronotrg|awaythe files, wl1 or wl6, based on if its shareware or regestered, arent open though, but you wouldn't need those files to port the game to another system
03:24:25cronotrg|awayyou would need the files, but not the source of the files.
03:28:12[57th]cnealThere are some requirments at http://www.tuxboxproject.com/software_specs.php that he might check out
03:29:23[57th]cnealjust how save paths should be done etc
03:30:04cronotrg|awayhes already checked it out, and since he has already rewritten the source from win32 to sh-4 arm, its just a few more switches to get it to the tuxbox, but he will add another spash screen and modify the menu and it will be tuxbox exclusive, sorta
03:30:31[57th]cnealcool :)
03:31:01[57th]cnealCan he add a split 4player screen?
03:31:11cronotrg|away... not really,
03:31:17[57th]cnealoh ok
03:31:18cronotrg|awaynot for wolfenstien
03:31:27cronotrg|awaycause it never has been multiplayer
03:31:35cronotrg|awaybut doom might work.
03:31:41cronotrg|away*might*
03:31:50cronotrg|away_might_
03:31:58cronotrg|away"might"
03:32:01cronotrg|away..
03:32:03cronotrg|awayheh
03:32:53[57th]cnealoh
03:33:31[57th]cnealI never had internet anyway those days no phone line, no nothing
03:34:37[57th]cnealWill the game have different levels or will it be the original?
03:35:10[57th]cnealnm, cant edit wolfenstien levels :P
03:35:17cronotrgit would be more net based, since doom legacy, for online multiplayer, is open(source) and he was thinking of porting over a version of that, but it would have to be gpl 2.0. but he doesn't know, he was just pulling from his head as quick as he could type when I asked him about it.  probably the original, but it is real easy to modify the games.
03:35:19cronotrgno
03:35:30cronotrgwolfenstien is real easy to modify
03:36:02cronotrgerm lemme try to find this..
03:36:36[57th]cnealI think there is a quake project
03:36:43[57th]cnealhold on
03:39:44cronotrgprojekt:vertilung  : a modified wolfenstien 3D game using entirely tools outside of the source:  http://www.geocities.com/grindmachine2000/
03:40:13cronotrg*vertilgung
03:40:44cronotrghttp://www.geocities.com/pgwolfenstein/ another
03:40:51[57th]cnealI see quake2 sourcecode that is looking to have someone do something with it on the tuxbox sourceforge site
03:41:54cronotrgyea I saw about that. its kind of neat, although a doubt we will go anywhere with only 1st person shooters.
03:42:45cronotrgI mean, its great to have ports of games, but we need games that are really eye catching, not FPS' and ONLY on the TuxBox
03:43:53[57th]cnealThat looks near
03:43:53[57th]cnealneat
04:06:03[57th]cnealIs there only one level?
04:09:43cronotrgI think so for projekt vertilgung, since they probably only release the shareware version, so save their butt from idSoftware.
04:10:17[57th]cnealoh
04:11:04cronotrgyou can find the original shareware nearly anywhere anymore, and if you search hard enough, you can get the original registered version, im not gonna stop you from pirating 11 year old software, but it is _illegal_
04:12:45[57th]cnealHear about the new wolfenstien?
04:12:51cronotrgyea RTCW
04:12:59cronotrggot it laying next to me,
04:13:18[57th]cnealTotaly different game from the original
04:13:33[57th]cnealPretty neat too
04:14:28cronotrgyea. I can rememebr playing Wolf3D on my old 286. good lord that thing ran like a charm. it took a truck to make that thing freeze and stop..
04:15:01cronotrgnow on windows or some crappy os, I can get explorer to fubar in 3 seconds
04:15:07cronotrgheh
04:15:28[57th]cnealThey got a non interactive version of space craze 3D for the tuxbox
04:15:40cronotrg^_^
04:16:30[57th]cnealOnly thing it has right now is the ship models
04:17:10[57th]cnealbut it would be cool when they get them to fly
04:17:29cronotrg8^]
04:17:49cronotrgthat's real cool.
04:18:48[57th]cnealI'm hoping when nTrap gets developed that they might make a version for tuxbox
04:20:16cronotrgyea...
04:20:20[57th]cnealWhen we get more people we should all go and write the company and say hey, look over here, our system runs on the same stats that your game runs maybe you could make us a version :)
04:20:41cronotrgthose games screens look real nice
04:20:50[57th]cnealThat would be cool, be just like the halo for xbox
04:22:25cronotrgsince I live in SLC, I should look up all the game and software developers here, since there are a few of em, and see if they would be interested in doing it... since it is all free to develop for it, a quick port and it will be huge for us
04:23:41cronotrgmy boss at a chocolate store that I work at for the holladays used to work for acclaim, I should see what his friends can do
04:25:20cronotrgeven if they don't want to do anything for it, it will be nice to get the word in the commercial side of video games R&D
04:31:16[57th]cnealalexsatti and blackspark are the ones working on the spacecraze 3d
05:25:38Snakeheyo all
19:30:21LooRiShandheld rulez!
