@Bigfoot:
Why don´t you ask the War§ow project leader (SoLoMonk)? I can give you two e-mail adresses(one this time, I must search for the other one)!

I hope you will not quit the work on the port, there are many ones waiting for it (I´m one of them)!
You do a pretty good job!

What kind of pizza do you eat?

Greetz,
Tobibrocki

Here you can write a E-mail to him:
E-mail to Solomonk

or send a mail to:
info@warsow.net

or
solomonk@chasseurdebots.org

Well, if they want my patches, than that's fine. If they don't want them, that's equally fine as well. In other words, I'm not gonna do any more about it than I have to :)

Since when did you become plural? :P

Quote:

Hm, well, a deep pan pizza with tomato, cheese, ham, bacon and pepperoni would be great right now :)

@ bigfoot

:-)
Hope this helps:

I guess there'd be more than one person that would happily offer you a real pizza or two if you came to Pianeta Amiga next September.
In the meantime, maybe we'll try to arrange something on the lines of the Q3 release...

Kind regards,
Andrea

I hope you will finish this port and release it (if it´s good enough, but thats your turn)! I´m sorry for the stuff I´ve said,simply ignore it! But it would be nice if you would post your current progress from time to time here.

Thank you for your work!

Greethings from,
Tobibrocki

With my current job, who knows where I'll be by September? Likely not anywhere near Italy :P

Quote:

Sounds good to me :)

Quote:

Nope and nope. Personally I hate emails by proxy, and I'm sure most other people do as well. The patches were provided as "if you want them, here they are". Whether they want to use them or not makes no difference to me.

Breathe... Breathe...

Current evidence seems to suggest you're wrong on the first part, and the second part is highly questionable as well.

Quote:

I don't even have a monitor, keyboard or mouse for my Pegasos ATM, so have some patience, please.

He failed to donate a pizza in a timely manner... :)

You're going blue... :)

Quote:

"And here you see how it takes 40 seconds to start Warsow over smbfs. This was very fun while debugging. Here you see how mouse movement doesn't work through VNC. And here, when I press the keyboard to move around a bit, you can see the amazing 2 FPS I get through VNC."

Nah, doesn't work, sorry.

Forget the stuff I have said till now, it was stupid to think that you can make it work in a short time! I´m sorry for that and the other things I´ve said!
Now you have time, I hope you will get it working, I´m sure you can do it! If you continue your work on this, it would be nice if you can post your progress from time to time (that´s your descition, not my one)! If you wan´t to quit it, it´s ok, I will accept this!
I´m feeling this way: (I don´t know the word in english, but it says it all) I only can say, sorry!

Greethings from
Tobibrocki

Sorry!

Yikes, breathe, man, breathe. Don't want you to pass out in here :)

Quote:

It IS working.

Quote:

I don't have time right now, but it IS working.

Quote:

Porting Warsow is not rocket science. It's not anything which needs "progress reports". It's done and that's it. Takes a day.

The problem is that I have *no* mouse, *no* keyboard, *no* monitor and *no* harddisk. In other words, I haven't been able to test it much myself, and thus the polishing work has been put off till I do have a mouse, keyboard monitor and mouse for my Pegasos.

Quote:

WTF? Why the hell do you keep talking about quitting? I really, really thing you need to start breathing!

Why do you have no Harddisk, Mouse, ... this time? Too much Q3?

Sorry, I had too much stress the last days, espectially today(includes a weird weekend), sorry for my little crazynes!

I know that it´s working already, but I missunderstood you, I have thought that the port has currently no mouse, ... support!

How could you test it whithout harddisk (was it broken after you made the port)?

And the last one:
Wich things are needed to get your port working (librarys, ..)?

Yup, that was a hard day!

Quote:

Harddisk: Because I forgot it.
Keyboard: Because the keyboard at work sucked so badly that I had to bring my own
Mouse: Because I use it on the laptop
Monitor: Because I'm on the other side of the planet, and taking a monitor with me is damn impractical

Quote:

VNC sends absolute mouse coordinates where Quake and friends require relative mouse coordinates, hence mouse input doesn't work over VNC.

Quote:

Netbooting. But as I said, each run of the game takes bloody ages, so it wasn't exactly all fun.

Quote:

Nothing that's not in MorphOS.

Quote:

We know :)

Quote:

I was told about such a discussion on #morphos a couple years ago.
Someone from MorphOS Team has said that this bug has a very very low priority.
IMHO a translation of it may be: "You better forget it" :D

Quote:
I thought the real reason (the one that's holding the release) is that, you don't have a pizza

Quote:

Why does that not surprise me, funny how things distort when you hear things from a friend of a friend of a friend... ;)

Quote:

It's not a bug, so it has no priority at all.

Quote:

A more accurate translation would be "you're confused". ;)


- CISC

@ CISC

I'm not confused but I give up now and please tell me if there is any chance to improve this "feature" of ft2.library?

@Cisc

Isn't the lack of italic end underline support in ft2.library a bug?

For example: ibrowse dosn't show
italic text properly


[ Edited by zukow on 2006/7/13 11:41 ]

Quote:
Did ibrowse even support freetype fonts?

If not... Well, that's probably the reason why it doesn't work properly

Quote:

It's ft2.library that can't handle different font styles.

Quote:

It has nothing to do with ft2.library, which is why I'm saying you are confused. ;)

Quote:

No, see above.

Quote:

This is partially IBrowse's fault as it doesn't ask for an italic font, but instead tries to soft-style one (which is not supported by graphics with AA fonts because it looks downright awful (the AA gets messed up)).

Quote:

Wrong, IBrowse doesn't ask for different font styles in the first place .. if it did, you could blame the current ft2.library, as indeed it does not have family support, however IBrowse doesn't, so... ;)


- CISC

Hi Bigfoot,
I just wanna ask, what is VNC?
And, why does the port not support Cel shading(look at your picture), are you going to add it(if you can, I mean, if you have your mouse, keyboard,.... back!)?

aem, you must not answer the now comming questions:
Aem, do you think that other programmers would work on this port, too (even if you´re going to release it in the future)?
Is a public, downloadable version of this portation possible?

Greethings,
Tobibrocki

[ Edited by Tobibrocki on 2006/7/14 10:43 ]

VNC is a system that lets you control one computer (in this case the Peg) by another one connected over the (inter)net.

Needless to say that GFX-refresh-rates aren't the best that way ....

Oh, how good are they (the GFX-refresh-rates) and whats the best one you can get?

VNC, if I wan´t to use the port, must I have a working Internet connection, or can I use the portation ofline, too?
