| 11157 | Dark Places | games | -1 | Depends on Retail? | C'mon, with the source code to all these games being released, why cannot ports or modifcations be made to use the code/engine without a proprietary cd? Dag nabbit, might as well play the real thing. | 2003-05-08 22:08:03 | 0 |
| 11158 | Dark Places | games | -1 | Re: Depends on Retail? | That's simply because no one develops for those old games anymore. All the cool mods that could be standalone are made for Quake3/UT2003 and so on. I know this sucks, espiacially since there had been some very cool Quake 1 and Quake 2 total conversions out. But they all died and you can't get them anymore and you surely won't be able to persuade the makers to release them as standalones (too much work!). If you want a standalone game based on this engine mod, try <a href="http://planetblood.com/qblood/">Transfusion</a>. It ROCKS! | 2003-05-09 01:07:15 | 11157 |

| 11160 | Quiet Console Town | games | -1 | Re: Java | Generics generally removes the need for unit testing, as such errors as unit testing would fix would be caught at compile-time. | 2003-05-09 03:57:01 | 11104 |
| 11161 | Dark Places | games | -1 | Re: Windows | and for those who wonders how to play it under linux<br> there's only 2 differences:<br> first i had to actually build the engine, by typing <br> make glx-release<br> then if anyone has a quake dir with capital case names like me, i changed ID1 PAK0.PAK PAK1.PAK and CONFIG.CFG to lower case id1 pak0.pak ...<br> And it works very nicely, it's another game now.<br> | 2003-05-09 04:02:39 | 11153 |
| 11162 | 3687 | news | 7154 | Yeahhh!!!! | With the recent reawakening of Hyperion, all we need is Sunspire to announce a new game, Tribsoft to be reconstituted, and Loki rebuilt (OK that's probably not going to happen but the adrenaline is pumping). | 2003-05-09 06:00:58 | 0 |
| 11163 | Childsplay | games | 7191 | Good | I've tried it yesterday on mdk 9.1 and it looks pretty good although graphics could do with a bit of polishing. Well done anyway | 2003-05-09 06:06:39 | 0 |
| 11164 | ThinkTanks | games | 4063 | Great game, great playability | This is a really nicely designed game, well thought out and well put together. This is an arcade game - the single player is hard enough to keep you coming back for more, and yet as you develop your skills and strategies the seemingly impossible first boss level becomes easier and you make more progress. <p>The graphics are of the 'fun' variety - this is not a game harking after ultra-realistic graphics. The tanks are clearly modelled and skinned and move well. The various tank types handle quite differently but are well balanced, with the heavy tank being slow but steers well whereas the light tank moves like lightening and skids and slides around. <p>The various multiplayer modes available at this time are sensibly chosen - standard deathmatch, team deathmatch, scrum (think capture the flag with one flag and one goal with every tank for itself) and team scrum. <p>The developers over at Bravetree have done a great job. They are also looking out for enhancements so if you have ideas go put them on the Thinktank forum over at the site. <p>There is still room for improvement - I'd like to see more powerups and weapons, a level editor, more scenery types and more multiplayer game types. So 4 stars for now. | 2003-05-09 07:33:27 | 0 |
| 11166 | Dark Places | games | -1 | Best Quake1 code enhancement out there! | I just tried Dark Places and it's great! Had it compiled and running in no time. The new lighting and blood effects look really cool! Yet, there are two things that drop my framerate dramatically: <br> 1: r_novis. This was an FPS killer back in the good old GLQuake days and it still decreases my framerate by more than 30%. Big sacrifice that has to be made for transparent water; I'm not sure if it's worth it although I like that effect. <br> 2. Realtime shadows drop my framerate by more than 90% down to 5 frames. Looks awesome but it's definitely not playable anymore. <br> Is there a way to get around this? | 2003-05-09 09:27:30 | 0 |
| 11167 | 3687 | news | -1 | 404 on the shots | I got a 404 for all the screenshots... <br> <troll> maybe they are affraid to show whats the game looks like :) | 2003-05-09 09:53:25 | 0 |
