| 2279 | 2 | 2002-01-30 17:03:42 | LOKI NEWS 1/30/01 <p> We'd like to update our customers on a few items as we prepare to close down. <p> 1) The <a href="http://www.lokigames.com/orders/">Loki webstore</a> will remain open until 12:00 p.m. P.S.T. January 31st, 2002. All orders placed on the webstore will be filled. Even though we are officially closing on the 31st, several of us are going to be in the office to make sure all orders ship. <p> 2) Many of you have asked about support and maintenance for Loki products. We have taken the following steps: <p> a) all <a href="http://updates.lokigames.com/">patches</a>, <a href="http://faqs.lokigames.com/">FAQs</a>, <a href="news://news.lokigames.com/">newsgroups</a> and <a href="http://www.lokigames.com/support/">other online support services</a> will continue to operate with a third party host. The Loki domains will be redirected to point to the new host, so you won't need to make any changes to continue to use these services. <p> b) all source code has been returned to the respective licensors. Although we cannot guarantee that each licensor will continue to support the Linux versions of their titles, we have made certain that they have all the necessary tools to do so. <b>Don't be shy about letting them know your thoughts on the matter.</b> <i>(emphasis mine. BZ)</i> <p> 3) Finally, some have asked about the actual process of closing down. As you may know, Loki filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition on August 3, 2001. We will be filing a motion to convert the case to a Chapter 7--a liquidation. At that time all of Loki's assets will be transfered to a U.S. Trustee appointed by the Court. The Trustee's job will be to sell those assets to the highest bidder. <p> Thank you for your support these past three years. <P> Best wishes,<br> The Loki Software team | As the end draws near.... | default | |

If anyone happens to have a source tarball, snaps of the original website, etc, please post a URL in the comments section. The game will then be hosted somewhere else (possibly Sourceforge) until its author reappears. | ct 0.11 | updated | ct |
| 2281 | 2 | 2002-02-01 08:33:53 | I originally posted this in July 1999, but this morning I really really feel it needs to be heard again: <p> Bob feels cranky this morning, so he's going to take it out on you. Remember, it's because he loves you: <ul> <li>When you email me and say things like "d00d, your kewl. How do u make q3test run 4 Linu><?", my first reaction is <i>not</i> "Golly, this person is an 31337 Ha><or". It's more like "Dang, what a tard! I wish he'd email someone else." Please write to me in English, ok? <li>The word <b>your</b> is used to indicate possession of something, as in <i>"your crack pipe"</i>. When you mean <i>"you are"</i>, you should use the contraction <b>you're</b>, as in <i>"You're not very smart"</i>. Thank you for your support. </ul> There. I feel better now, don't you? We now return you to the regularly scheduled game news. | Public service announcement | default | |

It uses LibSDL as the video and input library. <p> <a href="/show?gnomehack">GnomeHack</a> is a great version of the game... that's what got me hooked :). But the GUI-ness of it (popup windows, scrollbars, etc..) really wasn't to my taste. So I started work on glHack, to make it feel very similiar to the text-terminal version (nice & snappy). but with graphical tiles. <p> glHack uses OpenGL® for fast rendering, even with high resolutions like 1024x768. Like the TTY version, glHack runs fullscreen with a black background, and most of the screen is reserved for the map, with a few lines at the top for messages, and a few lines at the bottom for player status. | GLHack 0.8.0 | new | GLHack |
