| 3225 | 2 | 2002-12-18 20:30:26 | <a href="http://happypenguin.org/newsitem?id=3211">Last weekend's optimistic Neverwinter Nights update</a> has mysteriously morphed into <a href="http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html">a less euphoric, more noncommital bit of press-release language</a>. Presumably there's a snag with licensing or something. This change may not be significant, but I knew you'd like to hear about it anyway. | NWN Update Updated | default | |

But it should be working. Actually, I don't remember what I coded exactly :) All I know is that typing 'make linux' into the main dir fills the /lib rep with some libs, and them 'make linux' into the /dem repertory builds an exe called 'mind' into /dem/bin. </i></blockquote> | State of Mind 1.2 source release | updated | State of Mind |

Resolution switching, full-screen modes, and other mode switching was pretty flaky, but is working fine now. Sound-wise (Samwise?) we are gutting and replacing code like mad and look forward to the the final integration in the new year. There will still be about a week or two of work to make the final changeover.</p> <p>Seeing The Two Towers will probably come first, though.</p> </i></blockquote> <p>Guess we're lucky the last line didn't go "Seeing The Return of the King will probably come first, though."</p> | Last NWN Update for 2002 | default |
