You have just entered room "Odyssey." FeintuchJBF has entered the room. FeintuchJBF: hi again Gundam01ZeroOne: hello Gundam01ZeroOne: Gemini said there was something quite wrong with the message boards Gundam01ZeroOne: it had something to do with security and cookies FeintuchJBF: what was it? FeintuchJBF: really FeintuchJBF: ... FeintuchJBF: Right, he said that his ad-blocker blocked the site Gundam01ZeroOne: yeah.. heh Gundam01ZeroOne: you think I should switch to ezboard? FeintuchJBF: what's that one? Gundam01ZeroOne: it's another message board provider Gundam01ZeroOne: I'm looking at it right now FeintuchJBF: oh... that's the same as DigiBoards or something? Gundam01ZeroOne: no FeintuchJBF: nevermind Gundam01ZeroOne: actually, I tried installing those digiboards, but 50megs didn't allow perl or cgi .. oh well Gundam01ZeroOne: http://pub72.ezboard.com/bmegazeux94984 Gundam01ZeroOne: I just created it right now FeintuchJBF: It looks... emptu FeintuchJBF: empty Gundam01ZeroOne: well, of course it's empty.. :P Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. it's better than aimoo... I might switch FeintuchJBF: Alright... let's try it for a little while FeintuchJBF: see if it passes the "Gemini test" Gundam01ZeroOne: heh Gundam01ZeroOne: I'm asking him right now... Gundam01ZeroOne: AH! The colors.. are gone... The coolboard features.. >.< Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm... It seems that coolboard took out the customization feature of their message boards. FeintuchJBF: It's not gone yet? Gundam01ZeroOne: nope Gundam01ZeroOne: but the colors are.. >.< FeintuchJBF: We're idle here Gundam01ZeroOne: yup.. really idling.. Gundam01ZeroOne: I uploaded more sound effects today... AeonStorm2k has entered the room. Gundam01ZeroOne: hello FeintuchJBF: hi Gundam01ZeroOne: you think we should switch from aimoo to ezboards? AeonStorm2k: no AeonStorm2k: No! AeonStorm2k: NOOOOO! Gundam01ZeroOne: http://pub72.ezboard.com/bmegazeux94984 platgold77 has entered the room. AeonStorm2k: If you do, I swear, I'm quitting! FeintuchJBF: hi platgold77: hey Gundam01ZeroOne: what's wrong with this one? AeonStorm2k: EzBread is SATAN! FeintuchJBF: aeon: you seem to object Gundam01ZeroOne: ah.. I see Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm... damn coolboard.. why did they have to leave..... ? >.< Gundam01ZeroOne: platgold: how's your game? AeonStorm2k: I got UT....^.^ FeintuchJBF: I forget... who did I send the last beta version of BCC2 to? platgold77: good platgold77: how's your's? Gundam01ZeroOne: I just uploaded some songs.. Progress has been slow.. oh well platgold77: I've started making the modeller today Gundam01ZeroOne: I should get more screen shots by next week... FeintuchJBF: I take it not anyone here Gundam01ZeroOne: yay platgold77: thats good Gundam01ZeroOne: I got the beta FeintuchJBF: plat: you were making the 3D VB engine, right? platgold77: A VB and C++ engine Gundam01ZeroOne: anyone here got UO? FeintuchJBF: VB crashes when I try to run it now... or maybe I was just low on RAM that time... platgold77: Probably. Do you have the opengl drivers? FeintuchJBF: I have all the files I'm supposed to now... I think... FeintuchJBF: But how would I check that? Gundam01ZeroOne: ah.. opengl.. isn't it hard to work around with? platgold77: Go to the windows\system\ directory and search for vbogl.tlb, opengl32.dll and glu32.dll Gundam01ZeroOne: As of right now, I am looking at boardhost.. let's see if this one is good... platgold77: Not really. It's much easier than DirectX. Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. maybe not.. boardhost's features are rather cheap and there are pop up ads.. >.< FeintuchJBF: platgold: I have all three. platgold77: Good. It should work now. FeintuchJBF: Maybe I'll restart my computer before trying, to get some RAM back Gundam01ZeroOne: probably a memory leak platgold77: Yeah. I made a new version that has the mirrors working. platgold77: Could be Gundam01ZeroOne: aww.. screw it.. for now, I'm keeping AIMOO platgold77: I plan to have motion blur,depth-of-field, and scene antialiasing next. platgold77: I will miss Coolboard though. Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. should I just upload an ikonboard on a different server? FeintuchJBF: What I wonder... can I load, say, Bryce files with this engine? You have just entered room "Odyssey." Gundam01ZeroOne: crap I got disconnected FeintuchJBF: Okay... I'm going to restart now. See you all another time Gundam01ZeroOne: ok FeintuchJBF has left the room. Gundam01ZeroOne: he'll be back... heh heh platgold77: Yeah AeonStorm2k has left the room. Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm... I'm not sure about him... platgold77: Did you get VB5 yet? Gundam01ZeroOne: nope... sorry... platgold77: What about Darkbasic? Gundam01ZeroOne: I haven't had the time to get it Gundam01ZeroOne: yeah platgold77: Is it good Gundam01ZeroOne: well... no platgold77: I haven't had much time to make my GCS lately. platgold77: Why? Gundam01ZeroOne: It'll take a while to figure out how it works Gundam01ZeroOne: It'll take a while to figure out how it works platgold77: Oh platgold77: What other ideas do you have for games? Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. none for right now... I'm still working on FS's features.. platgold77: Oh Razmiesta has entered the room. Razmiesta: yo Gundam01ZeroOne: hello platgold77: hello Gundam01ZeroOne: We might be switching message boards again... Razmiesta: why? Gundam01ZeroOne: for security reasons Razmiesta: oh Gundam01ZeroOne: ahh.. crap.. gtg.. I'll explain the rest of what I wanted to say in an e-mail. Gundam01ZeroOne: raz: try going here an hour earlier... (Although it was unplanned, the meeting was resumed the next day.) You have just entered room "Odyssey." ZzCrook has entered the room. Gundam01ZeroOne: I'm waiting for the others right now Gundam01ZeroOne: waiting for 2 more people... FeintuchJBF has entered the room. FeintuchJBF: Hi Gundam01ZeroOne: make that none.. looks like aeon doesn't want to come Gundam01ZeroOne: hello Gundam01ZeroOne: damn this message board crisis... FeintuchJBF: ZZcrook: I started trying to make an RPG battle engine for no particular reason Gundam01ZeroOne: zzcrook, got any suggestions for a msg board host? Gundam01ZeroOne: I was going to use the one provided by 50megs just to find out it's not really a msg board. Gundam01ZeroOne: Gemini says using aimoo is a security risk... FeintuchJBF: Damn...stupid "message too long" message.. Gundam01ZeroOne: yup Gundam01ZeroOne: they seem to have reduced it FeintuchJBF: Now I don't even remember everything I typed Gundam01ZeroOne: ouch FeintuchJBF: be right back Gundam01ZeroOne: bocco: wanna see a new pict from fs? FeintuchJBF: back FeintuchJBF: sure Gundam01ZeroOne: I added it in the fs desc page right now.. it's just one FeintuchJBF: I like the "Great Battle" theme Gundam01ZeroOne: bocco: look at zzcrook's zeuxworld... it's different now FeintuchJBF: But you should fill in the missing information on your ID3 tags Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. yeah Gundam01ZeroOne: I'll update it when I remove the vibrato from the song.. :D FeintuchJBF: also, some of the notes in the beginning seemed incorrect FeintuchJBF: atonal... or... what's that word? Gundam01ZeroOne: ahh.. I see Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. I don't hear anything wrong, though.. Gundam01ZeroOne: maybe it's just the vibrato from the trumpet which I will remove Gundam01ZeroOne: damn mp3 compression made it sound like I doctored the song so it sounded better FeintuchJBF: I think my ears just get annoyed with that very high-pitched sound at the very begiing Gundam01ZeroOne: oh Gundam01ZeroOne: Hmm.. I'll reduce the notes then... FeintuchJBF: that zeuxworld link isn't working Gundam01ZeroOne: the pitch Gundam01ZeroOne: oh Gundam01ZeroOne: try zeuxworld.cjb.net FeintuchJBF: It redirects to "zooxworld.com" Gundam01ZeroOne: I know FeintuchJBF: ok FeintuchJBF: It looks... weirds ZzCrook: I redid it... FeintuchJBF: I see Gundam01ZeroOne: I just reduced the strings' octave by 1.. sounds like it has more spirit... hmm FeintuchJBF: Whoops... you should change my BCC2 project page to reflect that it's about 75% done Gundam01ZeroOne: ok Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.... don't tell me the rest of the percentage relies on my finishing of the overworld map.. >.< FeintuchJBF: not all of it. :P FeintuchJBF: I'd say the map is about 5 to 10 of that 25% Gundam01ZeroOne: ok FeintuchJBF: Actually, say it's 70% FeintuchJBF: DAMNIT!!! FeintuchJBF: As I was trying to say... FeintuchJBF: I still have to work on the Light Palace FeintuchJBF: It will be 3-4 times the size of any previous dungeon Gundam01ZeroOne: ok.. I haven't changed it yet FeintuchJBF: Yeah... that light palace will be a bitch to make FeintuchJBF: It takes place in 3 different time periods Gundam01ZeroOne: ahh.. I see FeintuchJBF: You have to navigate between them... FeintuchJBF: And events in the past affect the future FeintuchJBF: Hmm... I'm reading the FS description FeintuchJBF: Sounds a lot like FF7 :P Gundam01ZeroOne: heh Gundam01ZeroOne: not really FeintuchJBF: Well... the factories endagering the planet part FeintuchJBF: And the group of rebels Gundam01ZeroOne: I got the idea of the first few parts of the story from the california energy crisis Gundam01ZeroOne: the term "rolling black outs" have a different meaning in FS Gundam01ZeroOne: rolling black outs = a bombardment of meteors sent to destroy any town using up too much energy.. :D FeintuchJBF: aha ZzCrook: 8-) FeintuchJBF: Like Weapon :P Gundam01ZeroOne: NO.. not like weapon... Gundam01ZeroOne: >.< FeintuchJBF: just kidding FeintuchJBF: Don FeintuchJBF: Don't worry... I stole plot ideas for BCC2 from other games FeintuchJBF: Have either of you ever read Ender's Game? Gundam01ZeroOne: nope FeintuchJBF: zzcrook? ZzCrook: what? ZzCrook: Nope. Gundam01ZeroOne: what is it about? FeintuchJBF: Well... FeintuchJBF: The world is at war with aliens FeintuchJBF: And a 6-year-old boy is recruited to save it FeintuchJBF: It's not as childish as it sounds Gundam01ZeroOne: yay.. I'm almost done reducing the octave... FeintuchJBF: Anyway, I thought I might make a game based on the book FeintuchJBF: That's what my engine is for Gundam01ZeroOne: ah.. I see Gundam01ZeroOne: zzcrook: how is a megazeux game? FeintuchJBF: gundam: That question sounds strange Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm. it should be "a megazeux game" FeintuchJBF: I think ZZCrook isn't really paying much attention to the meeting :P ZzCrook: I am too ZzCrook: ...kinda ZzCrook: It's coming along... slowly but surely. Gundam01ZeroOne: Hopefully I can finally start on converting all those mp3s that people wanted.. >.< ZzCrook has left the room. Gundam01ZeroOne: hmm.. looks like he left Gundam01ZeroOne: ahh.. it's just us two.. Gundam01ZeroOne: ... I'm getting hungry.. ... Gundam01ZeroOne: cya |
