9388 Tribes 2 games -1 Re: windows cd Myth 2 - Loki claimed they couldn't release just a binary because the actual DATA files were different from the those in the Mac/Windows releases, hence it had to be a full release. Tribes 2 - Loki claimed they couldn't release just a binary becauses Sierra/Dynamix licensing tied them into release a full blown game. There are a lot of companies developers that port games to LINUX OS under the Intel processor, some charge a small feel for the "alternative" binary others, like iD games, do it for free. 2003-03-11 09:35:19 9219

9390 PizzaBoy! games -1 uh... argh! This cannot be run in new versions of linux. What kind of old libpng do they use? If they opened the source it wouldn't happen this crap. 2003-03-11 09:40:54 0
9391 PizzaBoy! games -1 README.TXT <b> b) The game may say 'GAMEOVER' when infact you still have all five lives.</b><br /><br /> Uhm, oh! What gives here? Can't quite fix that bug eh? Perhaps if you GPLed your source code or something, maybe we can help you fix it.<br /><br /> But then again maybe not... 2003-03-11 09:48:23 0

9393 PizzaBoy! games -1 Where's the source? From the README.TXT file: <pre> 5) MORE ABOUT FENIX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PizzaBoy was created using FENIX, an awesome game creation suite. For more info about FENIX check out the following : http://fenix.divsite.net http://fenix.sourceforge.net </pre> <p> I wasn't able to get the binary to run because of shared library linkage problems (the binary uses an old version of libpng.) So I went out and got Fenix hoping I could compile it and it would finally work. It still didn't, I got a segfault this time when it tried to load the datafile. Maybe they are using a modified version of Fenix or something.</p> <p> While it may be okay if they do not distribute the source code for the game itself, which is written in Fenix language, they should at least have given the patched version of the Fenix game engine back to the community since the engine is GPL'ed. The GPL clearly states that if you distribute modified versions of a GPLed program you *must* also distribute the source code for the modified version. </p> 2003-03-11 10:18:56 0
