| 12117 | FreeCraft | games | -1 | Re: Various | I sure don't see Bli@@ard going after "hobby Craft" or "Wood Craft" or any such other "Craft" Our system is totally wrong when you can copyright a word in common use in the dictionary. So there. | 2003-06-21 14:12:44 | 12116 |
| 12118 | Bridge Construction Set | games | -1 | I'd love to play.. | But I've yet to get the game to run for me. I've got openal installed and it isn't complaining about that, but every time I try to run the game it just sits there, takes up cpu time, and does nothing. This is across three different linux installations on the (largely) same computer over the course of... well, since the demo was first released. Any suggestions? | 2003-06-21 14:17:20 | 0 |

I doubt ANYONE would ever get confused between Hobby Craft the store and Warcraft the computer game--Which is the reason MS didn't try and sue glaziers for selling windows!</li> </ol> <p> I am not siding with Blizzard here--I can just see where they are coming from. </p> | 2003-06-21 14:46:28 | 12117 |
| 12120 | FreeCraft | games | -1 | future downloads? | Does anyone know where I can find an independent download of this game, or just the source code. Last time I looked at this was 12-18 months ago, so I haven't seen the latest code. | 2003-06-21 15:28:12 | 0 |
| 12121 | FreeCraft | games | 8159 | Re: E-Mail Campaign | I'm Back again. The site is one hundred percent up now with the first two downloads in place. To contact me just e-mail me at mattcburns@hotmail.com about anything regarding this atrocity. There is also a message board there for all those who want to post something. I'm sorry about the ads but I don't have much in the way of money. The files that I have for download are my most recent versions. I've gotten to thinking and now I think the best way to get around this is to rename the project and change the sources accordingly. I'm not much in the way of coding but I think I could do it fairly easy. If anyone has suggestions on names, I'm open to them. One last thing. I need all of the FreeCraft stuff out there everyone has in the way of documentation, binaries and sources. Code for forks are also appreciated. I hope that we all can make something good out of this. | 2003-06-21 15:29:14 | 12101 |

| 12123 | FreeCraft | games | -1 | Blizzard | <p>I don't know the whole background of Freecraft, so I am commenting from I have seen so far. </p> 1) Did the creator of freecraft seek blessing from Blizzard or Vivendi Universal? Some how I don't think so. Sierra is own by Vivendi Universal and I know bunch of old Sierra game are in the remake by fans, they seeked Sierra/Vivendi Universal permission first.<br> 2) Blizzard only has problem with the game name? So just change it. No big deal. <br> 3) You copy the image and gameplay from Warcraft II and call it Freecraft and without permission what do you expect? <br> 4) Just because it's free and you don't charge people doesn't make it right.<br> | 2003-06-21 15:45:28 | 0 |
| 12124 | FreeCraft | games | -1 | Re: Blizzard | So, you want to say that the Warcraft gameplay was patented by Blizzard? That's a bullshit! I don't think that Bli$$ard would try to kick some bigger ass about this... | 2003-06-21 16:01:06 | 12123 |
| 12125 | FreeCraft | games | -1 | Coding | Ok so freecraft is shut down so what why dont the developers just take their code modify it a little call it a new name cr8 some new lookin graphics and we have a wonderful new strat game similar to warcraft. Good freeware games are always needed so stop wollowing in pitty and do something. | 2003-06-21 16:03:16 | 0 |
| 12126 | Battle for Wesnoth | games | 4512 | Re: Nice, but still 0.1 | The details of all the units and what they can advance to seems to be entirely in the game.cfg file in the data directory. It looks as though some of the types that can be advanced to haven't been designed yet though. | 2003-06-21 16:16:50 | 12092 |
