5687 Abuse-SDL games 5360 Great! The original game was good, and this excellent port only makes it better. 2002-06-10 07:36:51 0
5688 Mindrover games -1 LGP is really killing me! .. why release a game for linux two times? I love the game and this has nothing to do with the game itself. LGP have to know that linux sales are that hige and releasing a already released game once more sounds very strange. 2002-06-10 07:50:25 0
5689 Mindrover games -1 Re: LGP Look at it as continuing support for an existing game, rather than a re-release. I, for one hope LGP will continue this trend with other ex-Loki titles. 2002-06-10 08:42:49 5688
5690 Mindrover games 3 Re: LGP Wouldn't it be cool if they patched up Tribes2?<br> Garage Games has only been contracted to update the Windows version. 2002-06-10 09:51:43 5689
5691 Mindrover games -1 Re: LGP All the porting effort is already done by Loki, so the initial costs aren't all that high. Also, the game itself is not only absolutely great, but the sort of thing that doesn't get old six months after release. It doesn't depend on the latest graphics or furious high-fps gameplay, but will still be as enjoyable years from now. 2002-06-10 10:55:28 5688
5692 XBlast games -1 XBlast has disappeared :P Their home page returns a 404 error... It hadn't had an update since August 2001. I am sooo bummed... Maybe someone else can take up the project and continue developing it. 2002-06-10 13:55:51 0
5693 LGeneral games -1 Re: make errors with SDL_mixer 1.2.4 A hex tile is devided into two regions: ground and air. To attack the air unit move the mouse into the upper part of the tile and blow the aircraft away :-) 2002-06-10 14:34:48 5674
5694 LGeneral games -1 Re: make errors with SDL_mixer 1.2.4 In 'Poland'??? 2002-06-10 14:37:34 5674
5695 LGeneral games 3 Re: make errors with SDL_mixer 1.2.4 Thanks! <br>In the meantime I noticed I can see both units when I hover with my mouse over them...<p> Still get smashed very quickly ;-) 2002-06-10 16:54:34 5693
5696 PlaneShift games 4512 Grumble... Gah! Website is full of acursed shockwave animations. AAGHH! NOT ANOTHER POPUP WINDOW TELLING ME THERE IS NO FLASH PLUGIN FOR MY BROWSER!!! AND ANOTHER!!!! <BR>I'm used to this generally, I usually realise what is happening as soon as the windows appear, but this is supposedly a cross platform project. Huh. Close the windows, click "Skip intro"... <P>ANOTHER ONE!!! Oh well, at least I didn't see any more on the main pages of the site, but maybe I didn't look far enough. Sorry to be grumbling about such a side issue, it just <I>really</I> rubs me up the wrong way. <P>Oh, and the project uses Crystal Space, which brings those attitudes of "Oh, Linux doesn't have COM or DLLs or other windows things, so lets port those things to Linux because software cannot do without it" <P>Sorry, I expect I got out of the wrong side of the bed, or something. I expect its probably good, but yeah, CS <I>also</I> rubs me up the wrong way. In an attempt to be a bit more objective, I recommend that people who do not mind Crystal Space should at least have a try with it, as it at least looks pretty, and they say they want to be cross-platform. 2002-06-10 19:12:10 0
