GtkRadiant

New article on getting GtkRadiant working with T.I.P., a lot simplified now.

Hmm

Well, lately I haven’t worked on the game at all. I was getting bored of working on it, but I saw someone post in the forum so I guess at least some people like it, which motivates me to keep working on it. I’m going to try and redo all of the media, er, it’ll be hard, especially the maps and models and stuff. Anyways, I hope I can get 0.6 out soon. I was working on this ‘drop/pass/throw the flag’ feature, it’s pretty neat. Anyways, anyone wanna help out in one way or another?

Conversion to Icculus

Well, I converted the whole frickin engine over to Icculus, no more CleanQ3. It was good while I used it though, thanks Justin Thyme, but now it’s time for some real action. It seems my source is cleaner than ever (SVN), and OpenArena is finally getting up. I will incorporate more media for the next release, and the game now compiles easily on linux and mac os x, so I will create binaries for the next release for linux as well as a linux dedicated server. However, I cannot create binaries for mac os x because I dont have access to one, so if anyone has one and would like to help out by simply compiling the game on it, contact me and we would greatly appreciate it so that Mac players could play the game! :)

Also, I will start playing with dpmaster and my dedicated server and see if anyone would be kind enough to host my game server, so we could finally have a 24/7 server! :)

See ya guys!
