Hey, that seems pretty cool but I was just wondering if you've done the smoothing yet. I noticed that the server ship jumped about an inch south at 00:37 - have you worked on handling the smoothing for lag (and jumpiness) yet? Good work

lol scambot owned

Hahahahahahahahahahaaa

It's just another games board, shit rarely ever stays on topic; especially when the video is as stupid as this one (although it did make me chuckle at some parts).

As he said, he is a man - and despite being the manliest man alive, with a job that requires loads of balls, cannot compete with the competition; which are, and I quote, 'a bunch of *boys*'. His rationality is that these boys are winning all the girls over because they have the advantage of being 'effeminate, childish, undisciplined, irresponsible, and unreliable'. He then goes on to mutter that he couldn't actually be a husband at his present state, because, and I quote: 'The years of solitude have left me bitter and full of hate.'. Clearly, he is an unhappy, single angry man, living in solitude in need of a serious lifestyle change. Oh I mean, unless your vision of happiness is bitter and full of hate, then I am wrong. Also, I am not advising he should be promiscuous, but I am definitely saying it's probably time he limits how long he spends in solitude, and increases the time he spends socialising. Law of averages will eventually find him a girl that is as fucked up as he is, with the same twisted views, who can be happy with him.

Yeah, a lot of virgins say that. Jump off the white horse and loosen up, you'll probably have some fun and thank yourself for it.

Haha, reading that just made me happy.

Lol, it'll be called racist repeatedly - "I never said Amber Lamps!!" Sama, you fail at sayings.

You know what they say, if you want something done properly...

OKay, try to launch X11 from finder, then open a new terminal (xterm) window - that should already have the display configuration set-up, if that doesn't work, then it's probably because we ./configured --without-freetype, so we'll have to try and get freetype working for you. In that case, navigate back to your wine-1.2.1 folder in a new Terminal window, and see if ./configure works now that freetype has been installed on your system, if it still doesn't configure it probably means the symbolic links aren't setup properly, and if that's the case I'll help you with remote assistance again. Let me know how that goes.

OKay, the issue is that Wine isn't finding the freetype libs, these are beneficial but will not cause huge performance issues with Continuum as the only time fonts are rendered is either in the menus, or while using chat. To configure wine without freetype, use the following command: ./configure --without-freetype You should then have an output something similar to: configure: Finished. Do 'make' to compile Wine. You can then compile wine by typing: make And for those of you lucky enough to have Dual Core processors (Intel Core2Duo, Corei3, Corei5, Corei7) you can use: make -j 2 OR make -j 4 Depending on how many cores you wish to dedicate to the compile. Make sure, though, that you apply the cont.diff patch to wine each time you've ./configured the compile. cat cont.diff | patch -p1 You'll then be able to resume the tutorial where this error has left off. I'll look more into why Freetype isn't being found (the remedy is symbolically linking the freetype libraries to /usr/bin, however this hasn't worked for Verez, so I am going to look for other solutions). Good luck

Hi, try to separate out the commands. make depend make If there are no errors, then sudo make install If that doesn't work, then if you could print copy/paste me your ./configure output so I can check for any errors.

Your zone is on ds1.krslynx.com and ssdir.playsubspace.com, not sure about the others.

Good riddance.

I can't replicate the error unfortunately, try to separate out the commands so: make depend make sudo make install If the error still persists, but it does not appear to happen on your Macbook, then I guess the only option would be to clean anything installed and try again.. Sorry to be pretty useless =O

Hrmm, do you have Dev Tools/Unix Tools (It's a mpkg in your apple install DVD) installed?

I think the wine source tree might be located in the src folder, try changing directory to the src/ dir before running make depend && make... cd src It's been a while since I've used a Mac and compiled Wine, so sorry if my memory is rusty. =/ I've got a Mac OS X virtual machine setup on this computer, I'll see if I can find a way of getting Wine to compile as 16-bit without the use of XCode as the compiling tool, if so, I'll write a .mpkg that will install everything without all this hassle. I also agree that at 40fps it's not the best playing experience, but it's certainly playable.

My first assumption would be the kernel32.dll file is not being properly patched - hence the multiple instances of Wine starting. Make sure that you're running ./configure, then you're applying the cont.diff patch, then you're compiling - if you're certain you've done this correctly then it is something to do with Wines server initialisation process - if so, I'll leave a message on the Wine forums to see what they think. Please send your complete terminal output, just so I can verify that everything else is set-up correctly. There's a few reasons that error could appear, but the few reasons I can think of are unlikely to occur in this case. Yeah, it is unplayable at 17FPS, however that only occurs if you play using the full screen. If you play using a windowed screen at the highest resolution possible you should find that your FPS is around 40, which is perfectly playable, but unfortunately not what you'd expect on a Windows system, or a 16bit version of Wine running on Linux. A solution for performance would be finding a copy of XCode 2.x, which will allow you to compile a 16bit version of Wine. I've not tried this myself on OS X (I think I might try this later in a virtual machine), if there are significant performance upgrades I'll let you know.

Stealing from who? Unless the creators of the original works are really pissed by a dead zone using another even more dead zones works, I really don't see how this is an issue.

Metal Gear, like Continuum is abandon-ware, it should be free for anybody to use... If the operators of a zone using abandon-ware are noobs, which is clearly the case here, then they shouldn't be allowed onto the SSC network - otherwise, there should be nothing stopping them from trying to recreate Metal Gear as best they can.

I have to admit, Windows 7 is a lot better than XP for me, and it's A LOT better than Vista. It's nearly as productive as OS X, but not quite there yet.

You can either add me on iChat via AIM, my username is krslynx or let us know what trouble you're having on the forums.

When hosting is provided, the server is already preconfigured to be compiled with one (or three, depending on how you do it) command(s). All of the makefiles, configuration files etc are otherwise all setup. This will allow you to take full advantage of everything asss has to offer to you. The only thing the user needs to learn how to do, is familiarise themselves with the Linux CLI, as if they don't they in effect require the host (me) to help them every time something bad happens with their zone. That means they need to learn one command, which in comparison to creating a zone, is quite rudimentary. resol@krslynx:~/subspace/server/asss-1.5.0$ ./scripts/run-asss *** asss started It's then up to the user to select the name of their zone, and all other elements of the configuration. Here's some useful Linux commands: cd (change directory) cd /directory/you/want/to/change/to pwd (present working directory) pwd make clean (clear previous instances of make) make make deps (make dependencies) make deps make (compile) make execute ./path/to/file/to/execute If you use an ampersand as an argument after execution, you'll be able to push output to the background. ./path/execute & You can also use nohup, to prevent software from dying after 'hanging up'. nohup ./path/execute
