[2018-08-18 22:07:33] [DamnShame] I’m about to walk into half price [2018-08-18 22:07:41] [Dundradal] I believe it's Man-Kzin Wars [2018-08-18 22:07:49] [DamnShame] That’s what it was [2018-08-18 22:07:51] [Dundradal] and I only know that for one very specific resaon [2018-08-18 22:07:59] [lehah] Dund beat me to it [2018-08-18 22:08:13] [DamnShame] I knew the answer would be quickly found here [2018-08-18 22:08:19] [lehah] It also has a very cool, somewhat important connection to Star Trek [2018-08-18 22:08:20] [Dundradal] [2018-08-18 22:08:31] [Dundradal] it's less than a foot from me [2018-08-18 22:08:31] [lehah] They adapted one of its stories into Star Trek TAS [2018-08-18 22:08:36] [DamnShame] I’ll post anything super choice in the event people want the stuff I’m finding [2018-08-18 22:08:41] [lehah] One of the better episodes too [2018-08-18 22:08:49] [lehah] I think they were all printed by Baen [2018-08-18 22:10:32] [Dundradal] yes [2018-08-18 22:10:35] [Dundradal] you are correct [2018-08-18 22:11:02] [Dundradal] it's slightly disturbing how many random books are around me [2018-08-18 22:11:12] [Dundradal] on this extremely large bar [2018-08-18 22:14:22] [banditloaf] I loooove seeing people's thrifting finds [2018-08-18 22:15:41] [banditloaf] So what's everyone up to tonight? [2018-08-18 22:15:57] [Alexvont] I just got off work [2018-08-18 22:16:22] [Alexvont] gotta make myself an extra big boy and maybe some hash browns to go with it [2018-08-18 22:21:14] [DamnShame] We’re doing the half price run. Then going home to make some pork burgers and hopefully I’ll finally finish my car restoration :)) [2018-08-18 22:21:44] [Alexvont] awesome [2018-08-18 22:22:25] [Dark Sentinel] I just need to stay awake until T+5 minutes and I should be okay. xD [2018-08-18 22:22:34] [DamnShame] I’m excited we got the reverse camera wired up today [2018-08-18 22:23:49] [banditloaf] The camera that shows you how it should have been. [2018-08-18 22:24:20] [DamnShame] Yessir [2018-08-18 22:24:34] [DamnShame] Disappointing no one calls them hindsight cameras [2018-08-18 22:26:11] [DamnShame] Need either of these ? [2018-08-18 22:26:48] [banditloaf] I've got 'em, but Action Stations isn't so common in the wild! [2018-08-18 22:27:31] [DamnShame] I’ll grab it. Just a tiny bit of cover damage. Found vol 3 of man kzin too [2018-08-18 22:28:40] [banditloaf] (I have a copy of Action Stations signed "Sorry Bill wasn't here, Newt Gingrich") [2018-08-18 22:29:06] [DamnShame] Hahahahaha [2018-08-18 22:29:23] [DamnShame] That’s a good inscription [2018-08-18 22:29:51] [DamnShame] [2018-08-18 22:29:53] [banditloaf] (It was back when he was just a regular jerk instead of a cartoonish supervillain) [2018-08-18 22:30:02] [DamnShame] They have a hardbound trek encyclopedia [2018-08-18 22:30:06] [banditloaf] Nice!! [2018-08-18 22:30:13] [DamnShame] Yeah I remember newt from cooking for W [2018-08-18 22:30:19] [DamnShame] He was very diff back then. [2018-08-18 22:30:46] [DamnShame] Giuliani too [2018-08-18 22:31:02] [banditloaf] He was always at historical stuff around here when I was a teenager, he seemed like a nice guy. (Civil War re-enactments and such.) [2018-08-18 22:31:12] [banditloaf] (Newt, not Guliani) [2018-08-18 22:31:49] [DamnShame] That makes sense. Hahaha I can see him being into all of that [2018-08-18 22:33:23] [Trelane] Hey gang [2018-08-18 22:33:27] [banditloaf] Trello [2018-08-18 22:33:29] [Trelane] Didn't realize how late it had gotten [2018-08-18 22:33:31] [DamnShame] Grabbing all of this for sure [2018-08-18 22:33:49] [banditloaf] It's still early here, I think the TV just said it was the dawn of the third age of mankind. [2018-08-18 22:34:05] [banditloaf] Nice! [2018-08-18 22:34:23] [Dark Sentinel] I think I'd like to read the Science Fiction of 20 century. [2018-08-18 22:34:28] [banditloaf] Freedom Flight is the first WC novel and as I've grown I think it's the best one. Very much in the spirit of the first two games (same writer.) [2018-08-18 22:34:48] [Alexvont] that star trek encyclopedia is pretty groovy [2018-08-18 22:34:52] [banditloaf] Bill Fawcett who edited Cats in Space for Baen is the guy who packaged the WC books, too. [2018-08-18 22:35:01] [DamnShame] Excellent. They were in such good shape and I’ve never read any of these. [2018-08-18 22:35:06] [DamnShame] Wow [2018-08-18 22:35:26] [DamnShame] Space cats I pretty much have to buy for August.

WC is on that list [2018-08-18 22:43:15] [Dundradal] I had to clear a hole [2018-08-18 22:43:17] [lehah] Dundradel & The Diamonds [2018-08-18 22:43:22] [DamnShame] Thanks leha [2018-08-18 22:43:31] [Dundradal] diamond barbell [2018-08-18 22:43:40] [lehah] The Nixon in this X-men movie is pretty terrible [2018-08-18 22:43:41] [DamnShame] [2018-08-18 22:43:52] [DamnShame] Never seen this before [2018-08-18 22:43:53] [Trelane] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAQKNzC5LA8 [2018-08-18 22:43:53] [lehah] Steve Purcell art?

I am in rare form. *hilarity ensues* [2018-08-18 22:46:19] [banditloaf] I watched the first season I think, it was trashy fun [2018-08-18 22:46:29] [Alexvont] its. very... yeah.. trashy fun is a great way to describe it [2018-08-18 22:46:31] [Dundradal] this bar is very strange [2018-08-18 22:46:38] [Dundradal] it's clearly leftover stuff [2018-08-18 22:46:45] [Dundradal] and they wanted to use every last bit of it [2018-08-18 22:46:54] [Dundradal] but also tried to be crafty in ridiculous ways [2018-08-18 22:46:57] [lehah] I like her as an actress. I do miss her in crappy pleather in these XMen movies tho [2018-08-18 22:47:06] [DamnShame] Hahah [2018-08-18 22:47:20] [Alexvont] also it is a relatable show if you were a LARP nerd back in the late 90s.. [2018-08-18 22:47:35] [Alexvont] *cough* [2018-08-18 22:47:47] [lehah] I am/was a huge nerd for RPG stuff but I never did LARP [2018-08-18 22:48:16] [lehah] I appreciate the idea and think it would be fun but it’s also the line my group refused to cross [2018-08-18 22:48:20] [Alexvont] world of darkness mind's-eye theatre LARP, specifically [2018-08-18 22:48:23] [banditloaf] Hehe a favorite crisp of lore from the Confed Handbook is that the movie Rapier can be configured with an optiona LARP package [2018-08-18 22:48:27] [banditloaf] And I've always wondered what that was [2018-08-18 22:48:41] [banditloaf] It's the kind of lore sentence I love that implies meaning without defining it. [2018-08-18 22:48:47] [Alexvont] Alaska was big into it for some reason [2018-08-18 22:49:18] [Alexvont] and we had special rules about not being able to play in the summer and getting extra action points in the winter... just because of the day/night cycle [2018-08-18 22:49:19] [lehah] I think the only LARP thing I have is the WEG SW book for it? [2018-08-18 22:50:27] [Alexvont] bunch of semi-goth teens hanging around with each other and resolving conflicts with rockpaperscissors [2018-08-18 22:50:28] [Trelane] backo [2018-08-18 22:50:35] [DamnShame] And we’re done but that was a good half price trip [2018-08-18 22:50:37] [Trelane] Stirred in the Orzo. Dinner should be ready in about an hour [2018-08-18 22:50:50] [Alexvont] I admit freely I still think too much eyeliner is damn sexy. [2018-08-18 22:52:17] [DamnShame] It’s def a unique look [2018-08-18 22:53:24] [banditloaf] (pan out to NinjaLA's pin-up of the Guardians of the Galaxy Racoon) [2018-08-18 22:53:49] [Trelane] [2018-08-18 22:54:08] [lehah] Hehehehe [2018-08-18 22:54:27] [banditloaf] Hehehehehe [2018-08-18 22:54:36] [banditloaf] We just watched an episode where everyone was genuinely impressed with his acting.

[2018-08-18 23:10:27] [lehah] Metal Warriors is a very good game but not $200 good [2018-08-18 23:10:32] [Jetlag] In another universe the Nintendo 64 came out as the Ultra 64 and then the Game Cube could have been the Hyper Cube. [2018-08-18 23:10:50] [Pedro] that would have sold buckets more [2018-08-18 23:10:52] [lehah] And the Hyper Cube would have HyperBlade on it [2018-08-18 23:11:01] [Music_guru] ya, the prices in the retro gaming market make me sad [2018-08-18 23:11:03] [lehah] The greatest scifi sports game ever made [2018-08-18 23:11:20] [lehah] The retro market is slowly imploding [2018-08-18 23:11:37] [lehah] Prices are dropping on everything but the really rare stuff [2018-08-18 23:11:49] [Dundradal] Hey Pedro [2018-08-18 23:11:54] [Jetlag] Bubbles gonna bubble [2018-08-18 23:12:06] [Music_guru] i hope so... really tired of the inflated prices [2018-08-18 23:12:08] [Keenan] I just bought a modded turbo duo for $350.

[2018-08-18 23:14:32] [Mace] Me, just spent some time trying to talk a friend down who was pissed because for the somehtingsomehtingt time Company of Heroes 2 crashed on us [2018-08-18 23:14:46] [banditloaf] Alright now I'm here!

More WCA cels. 😃 [2018-08-18 23:17:35] [ChrisReid] the other day Kris jokingly said there's enough cels in LOAF's basement now to remaster the show in HD [2018-08-18 23:17:42] [ChrisReid] that is a joke, we are not doing that [2018-08-18 23:17:49] [Alexvont] yet. [2018-08-18 23:18:01] [Pedro] you should do that [2018-08-18 23:18:01] [Wildcat86] Sweetness [2018-08-18 23:18:03] [banditloaf] Hehe well we'll end up with about 100,000 high res scans. [2018-08-18 23:18:08] [banditloaf] Anybody else can take it from there [2018-08-18 23:18:36] [lehah] hehehe [2018-08-18 23:18:44] [Music_guru] that already will be a big achievement getting that done [2018-08-18 23:18:45] [Alexvont] we could make our own dang episodes if we get enough poses and mouth flaps represented [2018-08-18 23:18:47] [balmond] With that many, you could make whole new episodes. If you can just get Mark Hamill and Tom Wilson to voice them [2018-08-18 23:18:53] [Alexvont] we'll sealab 2020 it [2018-08-18 23:18:58] [lehah] Who needs them? We can voice it [2018-08-18 23:19:05] [lehah] *ahem* [2018-08-18 23:19:15] [Mace] I was hoping to find out that somebody fixed the WCP co-op.. [2018-08-18 23:19:17] [balmond] But then we'd need to hold auditions [2018-08-18 23:19:18] [Music_guru] hehe sealab [2018-08-18 23:19:22] [Pedro] LeHah is the new Maniac [2018-08-18 23:19:23] [lehah] Do it like they do those 007 or Dr Who Radio Dramas [2018-08-18 23:19:24] [DamnShame] That’s about 70 mins [2018-08-18 23:19:46] [Pedro] the Dr Who radio dramas have the actors in their 80s and 90s returning to the roles [2018-08-18 23:19:50] [Music_guru] i don't think so yet Mace, unfortunately [2018-08-18 23:20:02] [balmond] But then we might as well actually just do radio dramas and not bother with the cels [2018-08-18 23:20:04] [banditloaf] I love the idea of the Dr. Who ones, II wish it would take off with other franchises. [2018-08-18 23:20:09] [lehah] Little did <@329371445534916618> know that I played Dr Who [2018-08-18 23:20:31] [lehah] I want to hear the 007 ones and the Prisoner ones they made, just never got around to it [2018-08-18 23:20:38] [banditloaf] LeHah is actually Sylvester McCoy [2018-08-18 23:20:40] [Pedro] LeHah is Jodie Whittaker? [2018-08-18 23:20:56] [lehah] I’m actually Peter Cushing, the only true Dr Who [2018-08-18 23:21:27] [Pedro] the only true vampire [2018-08-18 23:22:01] [Pedro] I've only heard the first Prisoner audio (which unlike Dr Who is an all new cast), my Dad was a huge fan of the show so I got it him for his Birthday [2018-08-18 23:22:07] [Pedro] it's actually exceptionally well done [2018-08-18 23:22:37] [balmond] I bet at some point Clive Owen auditioned to play the Doctor [2018-08-18 23:23:03] [Mace] Actually, I'm William Hartnell [2018-08-18 23:23:07] [lehah] That’s very good to hear <@329371445534916618> - the show is one of my very favorites ever [2018-08-18 23:23:12] [Pedro] I prefer the notion that Jason Statham auditioned [2018-08-18 23:23:20] [Alexvont] bela lugosi, and christopher lee would like a word with you, pedro 😄 [2018-08-18 23:23:42] [banditloaf] Clive Owen auditioned to play BLair in the WC movie, we found his audition tape [2018-08-18 23:23:47] [ChrisReid] Alrighty, I'm cutting into the cake here [2018-08-18 23:23:48] [banditloaf] Or was he Gerald? [2018-08-18 23:23:50] [banditloaf] I can't remember. [2018-08-18 23:23:54] [DamnShame] My fav bela qoute. [2018-08-18 23:23:56] [bobbings] oh, so that's how it works [2018-08-18 23:24:09] [Mace] Clive own was in the privateer two thingie, right? [2018-08-18 23:24:12] [Music_guru] cut that cake! [2018-08-18 23:24:14] [Alexvont] we share a first name.. Bela and I. [2018-08-18 23:24:15] [banditloaf] Are you the bob we know or a different bob? [2018-08-18 23:24:19] [balmond] Yeah, Clive Owen was Lev Arris [2018-08-18 23:24:21] [Pedro] yeah, that thingie [2018-08-18 23:24:27] [banditloaf] Yeah he was in Priv 2 [2018-08-18 23:24:29] [bobbings] yes [2018-08-18 23:24:34] [Mace] How did guybrush bring it... [2018-08-18 23:24:38] [bobbings] the first one [2018-08-18 23:24:49] [ChrisReid] Hey bobbings, are you bob mcdob? [2018-08-18 23:25:09] [AD] Hmmm I'll have a look. I'm thinking he might have auditioned for Gerald [2018-08-18 23:25:12] [Mace] Or the original, one might say [2018-08-18 23:25:28] [Pedro] I actually really liked Privateer 2. After Wing IV it's the title I'd most like to update. It's a shame there are still some of the source videos missing [2018-08-18 23:25:32] [banditloaf] That's a name... I... can't remember. (fades from existence briefly) [2018-08-18 23:25:52] [Alexvont] privateer 2 is my favorite wing commander from a pure gameplay standpoint [2018-08-18 23:25:55] [banditloaf] I can help you there, Pedro! I've found a beta tape with most of the videos. [2018-08-18 23:26:05] [KrisV] I was talking about that just recently. P2 with upgraded videos and subtitles would be great [2018-08-18 23:26:08] [Alexvont] something very satisfying about rapid fire weapons in wing. [2018-08-18 23:26:08] [balmond] I think the thing most people would like with a Privateer 2 update is subtitles [2018-08-18 23:26:12] [banditloaf] I have a rough digitization, but I'd like to have a really good one done. [2018-08-18 23:26:18] [Mace] Recently rewachted(the game itself does not hold up), is my favorite atmosphere for wing commander [2018-08-18 23:26:20] [Pedro] including the game intro? As I recall that was the big one that was missing [2018-08-18 23:26:25] [banditloaf] Also fixing the pirate spawn system [2018-08-18 23:26:29] [banditloaf] Yeah, I def. have the intro [2018-08-18 23:26:29] [KrisV] Hades can translate it to English [2018-08-18 23:26:35] [Pedro] 😮 [2018-08-18 23:26:41] [bobbings] did you ever get the script typed out? [2018-08-18 23:26:51] [banditloaf] We've got a real scanned script now [2018-08-18 23:27:01] [bobbings] yeah, that one [2018-08-18 23:27:05] [Mace] bobbings, seize all motor functions. [2018-08-18 23:27:17] [balmond] Yep, Privateer 2 script - https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/13784 [2018-08-18 23:27:18] [Happyheppy] Evening all, congrats on 20 fantastic years [2018-08-18 23:27:24] [bobbings] the one... who was it? erin sent you? [2018-08-18 23:27:50] [Music_guru] thank you Happyheppy and welcome [2018-08-18 23:27:55] [Mace] Actually, that was Bill and Ted [2018-08-18 23:27:55] [bobbings] via zeppelin, as I recall [2018-08-18 23:28:02] [Happyheppy] Hi [2018-08-18 23:28:18] [Pedro] remind me - did privateer 2 have subtitles? I do remember some of the dialogue being hard to make out [2018-08-18 23:28:19] [Alexvont] that reminds me.. I never did fully read that script... [2018-08-18 23:28:23] [Pedro] but I never tried turning them on [2018-08-18 23:28:44] [balmond] No, Pedro. No subtitles [2018-08-18 23:28:44] [ToonRadio] I believed it did [2018-08-18 23:28:46] [bobbings] It did not [2018-08-18 23:28:52] [Mace] I don't use subtitles, unless it is something asian. [2018-08-18 23:28:57] [banditloaf] No subtitles on P2, it got raked over the coals for that in the US [2018-08-18 23:29:04] [bobbings] not for the cutscenes, anyway [2018-08-18 23:29:13] [Pedro] even as a Brit I found bits of it hard to make out [2018-08-18 23:29:31] [Pedro] that definitely would be a fun game to spruce up [2018-08-18 23:29:31] [banditloaf] They did add them for the Portuguese localization [2018-08-18 23:29:45] [bobbings] did the privateer 2 chat just start now? [2018-08-18 23:29:52] [Mace] I think there was a german localisation? [2018-08-18 23:29:53] [Happyheppy] Recently [2018-08-18 23:29:53] [Alexvont] hehe.. at the time I got it just fine.. more recently I marveled at how I ever understood any of it in the first place. [2018-08-18 23:29:58] [bobbings] hehe, portuguese [2018-08-18 23:29:58] [banditloaf] Dude the Privateer 2 chat started in 1996 and it ends in infinity [2018-08-18 23:30:05] [Happyheppy] Lol [2018-08-18 23:30:09] [bobbings] for HCl and no one else [2018-08-18 23:30:24] [ChrisReid] P2 really performed well... it had some big ships and things going on, yet ran more smoothly than the WC4 engine [2018-08-18 23:30:39] [Justice] Except for the crashing, yes [2018-08-18 23:30:40] [bobbings] it used the brender engine [2018-08-18 23:30:46] [bobbings] i-war did too [2018-08-18 23:30:50] [Mace] Did not like the gameplay.. have the game, but could have had some extra kebab and beers. [2018-08-18 23:31:13] [bobbings] pity it never got 3DFX support, i-war looked amazing in it [2018-08-18 23:31:20] [Pedro] it did crash though. I still remember the little leaflet in the box saying "don't select this dialogue option -it'll break the game!" [2018-08-18 23:31:24] [bobbings] Has Ghost showed up? [2018-08-18 23:31:33] [banditloaf] Ghost posted on the forum [2018-08-18 23:31:34] [Alexvont] but unlike I-war, it was actually good. *BUUUURN& [2018-08-18 23:31:37] [banditloaf] Or should I say... Ghosted? [2018-08-18 23:31:38] [AD] someone could probably hack P2 to use harware acceleration [2018-08-18 23:31:40] [Mace] I'm no fan of commercials.. but was pretty shocked when WC4 and WCP came out [2018-08-18 23:31:41] [banditloaf] II shouldn't, that means something else in 2018 [2018-08-18 23:31:45] [bobbings] that was the UK version only I think [2018-08-18 23:32:06] [bobbings] AD: yes that should be done posthaste [2018-08-18 23:32:19] [banditloaf] Yeah they delayed the US release a bit for a fixed build [2018-08-18 23:32:32] [Mace] So when have our greek friend dialed in? [2018-08-18 23:32:35] [bobbings] Hehe I remember Mark Hamill on QVC [2018-08-18 23:32:50] [Alexvont] I was thinking about that recently.. there are so many engine mods in the works now.. it would be fun to try to make privateer 1 .5 in the privateer 2 engine. [2018-08-18 23:32:51] [banditloaf] YOU SHOULD'VE TAPED IT [2018-08-18 23:33:02] [bobbings] hawking WC4, that was the first time I learned of it [2018-08-18 23:33:02] [banditloaf] (the voice in my head punishing me over not recording a WCA commercial) [2018-08-18 23:33:13] [Mace] I taped the cartoon back in the 90's [2018-08-18 23:33:21] [banditloaf] Every day that voice gets a little louder. Someday there won't be any LOAF left. [2018-08-18 23:33:47] [Pedro] Such upgrades take a heck of a lot of time 😦 When hell freezes over and EA release the rights we can kickstart them 😛 [2018-08-18 23:33:48] [banditloaf] Do you still have the tapes :)? There's one cool commercial we missed. [2018-08-18 23:33:54] [bobbings] clearly the superior option is to remake P2 in the P1 engine [2018-08-18 23:34:12] [Dundradal] I would like to see someone mod Priv1 with new sector and plot/side missions [2018-08-18 23:34:17] [Pedro] Prophecy was much easier as it split all rendering out into a seperate dll and already supported multiple APIs [2018-08-18 23:34:24] [Mace] Nope, destroyed them(actually let them be destroyed by leaving them in the sunlite) [2018-08-18 23:34:25] [banditloaf] (They did two ' behind the scenes' spots. One was a little interview with Hamill and Wilson and the other was an interview with one of the artists showing how they painted the backgrounds.) [2018-08-18 23:34:28] [banditloaf] Darn [2018-08-18 23:34:35] [bobbings] actually I tried doing P2 in the freelancer engine and it works pretty good [2018-08-18 23:34:37] [banditloaf] We're missing the painting one. [2018-08-18 23:34:42] [Mace] Question Loaf? [2018-08-18 23:34:53] [banditloaf] Sure! [2018-08-18 23:34:58] [Alexvont] hehe yeah pedro. it just.. ti seems like that is a game that should get some modder attention [2018-08-18 23:35:09] [balmond] Question LOAF is who LOAF turns in to once trivia starts [2018-08-18 23:35:18] [Mace] Is it true that you in the Houston office have Trakhath in full costume? [2018-08-18 23:35:20] [bobbings] so much so that I found myself scrolling with the mouse wheel in P2 trying to adjust the throttle [2018-08-18 23:35:34] [banditloaf] No, not true sorry. [2018-08-18 23:35:42] [banditloaf] We have part of a WC4 set [2018-08-18 23:35:46] [banditloaf] But that's it! [2018-08-18 23:35:51] [lehah] Yes! [2018-08-18 23:36:00] [Pedro] I'm still hoping to just make a generic WC engine, Definances models are calling to me [2018-08-18 23:36:04] [Mace] What happened to the original "muppets" [2018-08-18 23:36:07] [Alexvont] they have the actual prince thrakhath chained up there. [2018-08-18 23:36:08] [banditloaf] I believe Joe Garrity may own what's left of Prince Thrakhath [2018-08-18 23:36:09] [bobbings] Did you ever take pictures of the concordia model? [2018-08-18 23:36:11] [Pedro] [2018-08-18 23:36:16] [starvingpilot] Which part of the WC4 set? Just curious. [2018-08-18 23:36:18] [banditloaf] Yeah I do have pictures of the Concordia model [2018-08-18 23:36:25] [bobbings] Been waiting years for those [2018-08-18 23:36:29] [banditloaf] The bottom of a Dragon fighter [2018-08-18 23:36:38] [banditloaf] From the scene where Pliers reaches up to take the bomb out of it [2018-08-18 23:36:42] [Dundradal] that is very nice looking, Pedro [2018-08-18 23:36:53] [Music_guru] looks like a giant metal window or something 😄 [2018-08-18 23:36:57] [starvingpilot] Cool! I remember that was a story on wcnews once. [2018-08-18 23:37:11] [Mace] I member some guy dancing around in a costume on strange music.. but I think that was the mask of the emperor [2018-08-18 23:37:12] [banditloaf] https://cdn.wcnews.com/newestshots/full/wc4set_dragon2.jpg [2018-08-18 23:37:29] [Mace] Ah.. i know that one.. the flashpack [2018-08-18 23:37:46] [lehah] Do we know what happened to the flashpak prop that Pliers finds in there? [2018-08-18 23:37:54] [Mace] But the Trakhath costume was so nice, nobody preserved it? [2018-08-18 23:38:03] [Happyheppy] He dropped it and it got lost! [2018-08-18 23:38:07] [banditloaf] Sadly the Kilrathi costumes were made of foam which dissolved pretty easily [2018-08-18 23:38:32] [Alexvont] yeah.. foam disintegrates quickly [2018-08-18 23:38:34] [Mace] Well, it looked a hell of a lot better onscreen. [2018-08-18 23:38:46] [Mace] With the armour and all [2018-08-18 23:38:47] [Trelane] backo, had to tend to dinner [2018-08-18 23:38:48] [balmond] Weren't the animatronic bits leased as well or something like that? [2018-08-18 23:38:50] [banditloaf] Yeah it does [2018-08-18 23:39:00] [ChrisReid] the Kilrathi halloween costume they commercially sold in 1999 also disintegrated quickly [2018-08-18 23:39:03] [banditloaf] Yes, the internals were leased [2018-08-18 23:39:04] [ChrisReid] the shoulder armor part [2018-08-18 23:39:16] [Trelane] *(sits down with a bowl full of miniature snickers)* [2018-08-18 23:39:24] [lehah] I didn’t know about a Halloween costume [2018-08-18 23:39:35] [banditloaf] Yeah a company did a WCM Kilrathi and helmet [2018-08-18 23:39:46] [banditloaf] I don't have one, I'd love to find a warehouse full of them someday. [2018-08-18 23:39:47] [Mace] I know mr Roberts would not agree, but that was pretty much my fav Kilrathi look [2018-08-18 23:39:51] [Wildcat86] *curls up with some popcorn* [2018-08-18 23:39:53] [ChrisReid] https://www.wcnews.com/news/2015/10/31/happy-halloween [2018-08-18 23:40:03] [ChrisReid] I have the mask somewhere, they were much better made than the shoulder pieces [2018-08-18 23:40:10] [lehah] Oh wow [2018-08-18 23:40:11] [Mace] No, that is the movie version [2018-08-18 23:40:33] [Mace] Looks more like a rat then a cat [2018-08-18 23:40:49] [DamnShame] Yeah maybe one of those Egyptian cats [2018-08-18 23:40:56] [banditloaf] One thing I only learned recently was that the Kilrathi weren't pitched as cats initially. [2018-08-18 23:41:05] [banditloaf] Which I think is why Chris isn't so connected to the idea as fans are. [2018-08-18 23:41:16] [ChrisReid] It was a really good mask though [2018-08-18 23:41:17] [banditloaf] They're just "genetic mutants" in the original game pitch. [2018-08-18 23:41:19] [ChrisReid] https://cdn.wcnews.com/newestshots/full/chriskilrathimask1.jpg [2018-08-18 23:41:23] [DamnShame] That would make sense. [2018-08-18 23:41:42] [lehah] Huh [2018-08-18 23:41:51] [lehah] Mutants of what though? [2018-08-18 23:41:52] [DamnShame] I always liked them as cats. But Mutants is cool too [2018-08-18 23:41:57] [lehah] People? Pilgrims? [2018-08-18 23:42:07] [DamnShame] The pilgrims cats... [2018-08-18 23:42:11] [banditloaf] Nah I think it just was a 'some kind of bad alien' [2018-08-18 23:42:23] [lehah] Ahhhh Mantu then [2018-08-18 23:42:33] [banditloaf] Hehehehe I was just thinking about the Mantu yesterday [2018-08-18 23:42:38] [banditloaf] We had so many dumb battles about them [2018-08-18 23:42:43] [banditloaf] I wish that stll happened [2018-08-18 23:43:08] [lehah] I often get the Mantu and the ... Helix aliens mixed up [2018-08-18 23:43:09] [Alexvont] I like the idea that the mantu are really just happy space sting rays. [2018-08-18 23:43:17] [banditloaf] Double Helix [2018-08-18 23:43:20] [Mace] Well. aliens looking as snakes and lizard were done by that thing [2018-08-18 23:43:29] [Mace] thing I mean day [2018-08-18 23:43:44] [lehah] Did we ever find out if the Nephilim were suppose to be Mantu [2018-08-18 23:43:52] [banditloaf] They weren't [2018-08-18 23:43:52] [Alexvont] I mean.. it's not really all that out of question that an alien could be a mutant space cat. [2018-08-18 23:43:57] [lehah] Yeah I didn’t think so [2018-08-18 23:44:00] [Mace] I know bits and pieses of the story... [2018-08-18 23:44:02] [Music_guru] wow, that halloween mask 😛 [2018-08-18 23:44:10] [lehah] Mantu were what we would call “flavor text” now I gyess [2018-08-18 23:44:30] [banditloaf] Well, what happened is this... [2018-08-18 23:44:36] [Mace] The Nephilim were supposed to be a sort of demons from the biblical era, right? [2018-08-18 23:44:51] [Dark Sentinel] Who said Nephilim? [2018-08-18 23:44:59] [Mace] Me [2018-08-18 23:45:00] [lehah] They were giants made from the blood of angels I think? [2018-08-18 23:45:09] [lehah] My Old Testament is rusty [2018-08-18 23:45:15] [AD] I'm pretty sure they never intended the Nephilim to literally be the Nephilim from the bible [2018-08-18 23:45:25] [banditloaf] When they were doing the Wing Commander novels, Bill Forstchen met with David Ladyman from Origin to talk about where the series might go next. [2018-08-18 23:45:27] [lehah] Yeah, it was just a code word [2018-08-18 23:45:35] [Mace] Well.. the endresult was too close to species 8472 from star trek [2018-08-18 23:45:38] [AD] The Nephilim were hybrid offspring of demons(fallen angels) and humans [2018-08-18 23:45:42] [banditloaf] This was 1993 so they knew they were ending the Kilrathi war in a future story but only had rough ideas for what would follow [2018-08-18 23:45:48] [Alexvont] maybe though. I mean they did take care to make them into a kilrathi doomsday prophecy [2018-08-18 23:45:49] [lehah] Wait, when did that meeting take place? When they were making WC3? [2018-08-18 23:45:52] [lehah] Oooh okay [2018-08-18 23:45:57] [banditloaf] And one of those rough ideas was that there'd be an even bigger enemy that comes in and you fight it together. [2018-08-18 23:46:09] [Mace] It should have ended with 3, right? [2018-08-18 23:46:18] [bobbings] billy cain was behind it? [2018-08-18 23:46:26] [bobbings] I think [2018-08-18 23:46:30] [banditloaf] So Bill took that and created the Mantu, which he mentioned in his books. These rumors about a great enemy. [2018-08-18 23:46:31] [lehah] So why you’re telling me [2018-08-18 23:46:37] [Dark Sentinel] ... y'know, I'll just throw in a picture and bail out for some sleep. [2018-08-18 23:46:54] [lehah] Is that WC suffered the same fate as ExoSquad S3 [2018-08-18 23:47:12] [banditloaf] But when WCP came out they wanted to change the backstory for the big bad aliens somewhat... the WCP manual actually discounts the Mantu specifically, saying they were just a legend but were actually paranoid explorers) [2018-08-18 23:47:17] [Music_guru] ya, go ahead and share your art <@284091063218733056> 😃 [2018-08-18 23:47:17] [Alexvont] you are going to leave before the trivia stuff, Dark. [2018-08-18 23:47:30] [Alexvont] but feel free to share.. [2018-08-18 23:47:41] [Dark Sentinel] It's 0247 here, I'm dead anyway. [2018-08-18 23:47:44] [banditloaf] Yes please share! [2018-08-18 23:48:14] [Mace] WCp played completely different from the rest. [2018-08-18 23:48:26] [Mace] Too easy. [2018-08-18 23:48:31] [banditloaf] WCP was a totally new engine, with no feedback from Chris. [2018-08-18 23:48:35] [Wildcat86] It was a different feel [2018-08-18 23:48:52] [banditloaf] I love it though, it would've been a great base for the future [2018-08-18 23:48:57] [Alexvont] yeah [2018-08-18 23:48:58] [Music_guru] "edgy!" that's what all the kids want these days right? [2018-08-18 23:49:04] [Alexvont] and it can feel like the old games [2018-08-18 23:49:11] [Alexvont] standoff is perfect proof of that [2018-08-18 23:49:11] [Wildcat86] "Lot" [2018-08-18 23:49:12] [Dark Sentinel] Happy 20th, CIC! [2018-08-18 23:49:17] [Dark Sentinel] (was 16K, but working with it was pain, 8K looks decent) [2018-08-18 23:49:23] [Music_guru] awesome man! [2018-08-18 23:49:26] [banditloaf] Oh wow! [2018-08-18 23:49:35] [Alexvont] that is fantastic [2018-08-18 23:49:38] [Mace] Well, starlancer felt more like "home" that is why I spent all my time getting it playable again. [2018-08-18 23:49:39] [banditloaf] As Tom Hanks says in that one movie, Spectacalar. [2018-08-18 23:49:39] [Wildcat86] Wow [2018-08-18 23:49:40] [balmond] Nice, Dark Sentinel! [2018-08-18 23:50:05] [Dark Sentinel] Thanks! [2018-08-18 23:50:08] [banditloaf] In my dream timeline, StarLancer is the WC movie game 😄 [2018-08-18 23:50:46] [Dundradal] nice pic, Dark! [2018-08-18 23:50:56] [Mace] Is not one of the scenes in the movie, where a starlancer ship is flying upsidedown? [2018-08-18 23:51:03] [Trelane] ooh that looks good [2018-08-18 23:51:07] [Trelane] I love ships [2018-08-18 23:51:09] [balmond] I still have a sealed review copy of StarLancer that I got from Microsoft [2018-08-18 23:51:16] [DamnShame] Ships are good. [2018-08-18 23:51:41] [Music_guru] oh man, that's awesome <@!313093958815318026> [2018-08-18 23:51:43] [DamnShame] I see those floating around at half price here from time to time (starlancer) [2018-08-18 23:51:45] [Trelane] hehehe, I think I still have that disc [2018-08-18 23:51:58] [Trelane] I know I never played it [2018-08-18 23:52:25] [Mace] Lol, the game can't even be bought anywhere anymore AFAIK [2018-08-18 23:52:29] [balmond] Yeah, I didn't use it since I bought a boxed copy of the game. I think the only difference is the CD art is in full color on the review copy [2018-08-18 23:52:29] [Music_guru] you can actually get starlancer pretty cheap these days... it is sadly forgotten by a lot of people [2018-08-18 23:52:37] [Resurrected Hobbyist] zug zug all [2018-08-18 23:52:49] [Music_guru] zug zug [2018-08-18 23:53:06] [Dundradal] it amazes me how many games you own but not have played, Trelane [2018-08-18 23:53:15] [Alexvont] dabuj [2018-08-18 23:53:22] [Mace] @Music Guru, you might know I spent some time getting the game to run again and look good? [2018-08-18 23:53:24] [Resurrected Hobbyist] there it is [2018-08-18 23:53:35] [banditloaf] Hello! [2018-08-18 23:53:43] [Resurrected Hobbyist] hey LOAF [2018-08-18 23:54:01] [Music_guru] awesome Mace, love to hear that [2018-08-18 23:54:17] [Mace] It's on the CIC, alle the steps are there... [2018-08-18 23:54:49] [balmond] I bet StarLancer multiplayer runs pretty well these days. When it first came out I only had dial-up [2018-08-18 23:55:02] [Resurrected Hobbyist] man there's a flash back [2018-08-18 23:55:06] [Mace] Since I never got a clear awnser as to create a real patch... there is a video of gameplay inthere. [2018-08-18 23:55:26] [banditloaf] I wonder if you can still play the multiplayer Dreamcast campaign [2018-08-18 23:55:27] [Mace] And like most of us, I miss those games [2018-08-18 23:55:36] [ChrisReid] I think so [2018-08-18 23:55:42] [Mace] Yes you can... [2018-08-18 23:55:48] [ChrisReid] The Starlancer Dreamcast multiplayer was compatible with the PC multiplayer [2018-08-18 23:55:52] [ChrisReid] you could cross over between them [2018-08-18 23:55:56] [ChrisReid] didn't require a special service [2018-08-18 23:56:09] [banditloaf] I have a Dreamcast but I think I gave away my StarLancer. [2018-08-18 23:56:09] [Trelane] That's crazy [2018-08-18 23:56:14] [Mace] But the dreamcast version looks like #%# compared to the PC version. [2018-08-18 23:56:32] [bobbings] I wonder if you can still play the PC multiplayer [2018-08-18 23:56:35] [DamnShame] I’d get a Dreamcast again I loved that console still one of my favorite controllers [2018-08-18 23:56:44] [ChrisReid] I have a Black dreamcast somewhere [2018-08-18 23:57:00] [banditloaf] They're still nice because you can do VGA out, so you still get a great clear picture. [2018-08-18 23:57:17] [Mace] Also yes you can, the server FU should be using was originally build for that... [2018-08-18 23:57:27] [Music_guru] true but one upside is you don't have to work hard to make the game work... just plug and play 😛 (ya, i would go for the PC version anyway) [2018-08-18 23:57:40] [DamnShame] I’d love to play classic crazy taxi and tony hawk on Dreamcast again [2018-08-18 23:57:52] [banditloaf] I liked that 3D Ecco [2018-08-18 23:57:54] [Mace] I'm pretty sure that does not hold up to 1440p image.. [2018-08-18 23:58:08] [DamnShame] Oh yeah. [2018-08-18 23:58:31] [Resurrected Hobbyist] sadly I grew up waaaaaay to far out in the boonies to have any access to a DreamCast [2018-08-18 23:58:34] [ChrisReid] crazy that Starlancer supported 6 players in multiplayer too [2018-08-18 23:58:43] [Mace] Am I the only one here who still has a functional force feedback system? [2018-08-18 23:58:49] [banditloaf] Nah I've got a FF stick [2018-08-18 23:58:52] [Mace] 8 [2018-08-18 23:58:53] [banditloaf] Sidewinder Pro [2018-08-18 23:58:53] [Resurrected Hobbyist] I still have one [2018-08-18 23:59:03] [Resurrected Hobbyist] just can't use it on my main system anymore [2018-08-18 23:59:14] [Pedro] I miss my sidewinder, pre FF it was the best leftie joystick ever made [2018-08-18 23:59:15] [Mace] That was the original one.. but you are a collector. [2018-08-18 23:59:15] [lehah] BackHah [2018-08-18 23:59:17] [DamnShame] I bought my Dreamcast at Hollywood video with my employee discount. [2018-08-18 23:59:21] [lehah] Happy to see so many faces [2018-08-18 23:59:25] [balmond] I used to have FF, it needed that weird soundcard joystick port though and I don't have that any more so I chucked out the stick [2018-08-18 23:59:29] [Pedro] I had to learn how to play right handed after that stick died on me [2018-08-18 23:59:31] [banditloaf] Man I liked Hollywood Video [2018-08-18 23:59:38] [DamnShame] Me too [2018-08-18 23:59:43] [DamnShame] We had awesome vests [2018-08-18 23:59:57] [DamnShame] And video hounds movie guides which were super useful. [2018-08-19 00:00:06] [banditloaf] I loved those big guide books [2018-08-19 00:00:16] [banditloaf] I would look up actors who were in WC games and rent their movies [2018-08-19 00:00:34] [banditloaf] It's time for the site update! [2018-08-19 00:00:35] [Mace] With a #d printer and a screwdriver you can build any setup you want now [2018-08-19 00:00:51] [Pedro] oooohhhhh [2018-08-19 00:01:01] [bobbings] http://reckoning.solsector.net/wcmsojerboy.avi [2018-08-19 00:01:04] [Pedro] 🎂 [2018-08-19 00:01:05] [banditloaf] Let's do the traditional countdown [2018-08-19 00:01:16] [bobbings] does that work for anyone?

[2018-08-19 00:01:26] [banditloaf] 9 [2018-08-19 00:01:27] [Mace] However, kevlar coverings are the thing you would be missing [2018-08-19 00:01:27] [bobbings] damn [2018-08-19 00:01:30] [banditloaf] 8 [2018-08-19 00:01:30] [Music_guru] 7 [2018-08-19 00:01:30] [ChrisReid] 8 [2018-08-19 00:01:33] [banditloaf] 6 [2018-08-19 00:01:36] [ChrisReid] 6 [2018-08-19 00:01:36] [DamnShame] 6 [2018-08-19 00:01:37] [Alexvont] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:37] [banditloaf] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:37] [Music_guru] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:38] [ChrisReid] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:39] [Alexvont] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:40] [DamnShame] 5 [2018-08-19 00:01:42] [banditloaf] 4 [2018-08-19 00:01:42] [Alexvont] 4 [2018-08-19 00:01:43] [ChrisReid] 4 [2018-08-19 00:01:44] [banditloaf] 3 [2018-08-19 00:01:45] [Music_guru] 3 [2018-08-19 00:01:45] [ChrisReid] 3 [2018-08-19 00:01:46] [DamnShame] 3 [2018-08-19 00:01:47] [Alexvont] 3 [2018-08-19 00:01:48] [banditloaf] 2 [2018-08-19 00:01:48] [Pedro] <:kilrathi:378381602943795200> [2018-08-19 00:01:49] [ChrisReid] 2 [2018-08-19 00:01:50] [Alexvont] 2 [2018-08-19 00:01:51] [banditloaf] 1 [2018-08-19 00:01:52] [Mace] Have the original controller for that..

[2018-08-19 00:14:03] [banditloaf] (Dundradal is here in the Zocalo) [2018-08-19 00:14:30] [bobbings] is this east or west coast LOAF'ses? [2018-08-19 00:14:37] [banditloaf] East [2018-08-19 00:14:38] [Dundradal] I am [2018-08-19 00:14:41] [banditloaf] We're in Rockville [2018-08-19 00:14:44] [Dundradal] I am actually sitting at the bar [2018-08-19 00:15:21] [Trelane] Wow, Quark's is open for business [2018-08-19 00:15:40] [banditloaf] Hehehehe not quite, he pushed piles of books out of the way to make a space. [2018-08-19 00:15:55] [bobbings] I finally sat down and netfluxed DS9 a few years ago [2018-08-19 00:16:10] [Dundradal] hehe yes in no way is this bar functional [2018-08-19 00:16:13] [Dundradal] I did have a drink on it [2018-08-19 00:16:21] [Dundradal] but I am surrounded by towers of books [2018-08-19 00:16:44] [Dundradal] the shortest is maybe 10 inches tall [2018-08-19 00:17:21] [Pedro] is the WC3 footage working for others? [2018-08-19 00:17:32] [Pedro] what playback software are you using? [2018-08-19 00:18:19] [banditloaf] Works in VLC for me [2018-08-19 00:18:35] [bobbings] So here we are, the last survivors of <#290176047323021315> [2018-08-19 00:18:52] [balmond] I just clicked the link in my browser and Chrome started playing the WC3 footage straight away [2018-08-19 00:18:54] [bobbings] Now all we need is Ghost, so we can all die together [2018-08-19 00:19:32] [Pedro] Thanks Hades, that actually works [2018-08-19 00:19:38] [bobbings] I just realized the other day that Etienne Montclair is a strange name for a maori from new zealand [2018-08-19 00:19:40] [Justice] I am back [2018-08-19 00:20:00] [Jetlag] Chrome on my phone doesn't seem to like it [2018-08-19 00:20:13] [lehah] Great birthday update [2018-08-19 00:20:23] [lehah] Goddamned it’s good to see WC so well preserved [2018-08-19 00:20:37] [lehah] I just wish I could track down the damned WC3 uniforms [2018-08-19 00:21:01] [Music_guru] that's some great WC3 footage [2018-08-19 00:21:23] [bobbings] there should be a guide on how to make your own out of garbage man uniforms [2018-08-19 00:21:29] [KrisV] I don't know if I would download a 2.3 gig file to my phone [2018-08-19 00:21:36] [bobbings] or is that just the flight suits? [2018-08-19 00:21:39] [banditloaf] What even is a phone anymore [2018-08-19 00:21:49] [bobbings] you're a phone [2018-08-19 00:22:03] [Pedro] the absence of the music is interesting, with George Oldzieys permission it'd be amazing to have his orchestral work overlayed [2018-08-19 00:22:54] [Justice] DOS demos playing on the website are pretty neat [2018-08-19 00:23:12] [bobbings] I helped save the P2 one [2018-08-19 00:25:09] [Pedro] the backgrounds stand up surprisingly well, I assumed they'd be done at a lower res [2018-08-19 00:25:18] [FekLeyrTarg] I think it would be interesting to have the cutscenes from WC3, WC4, Priv2 and WCP restored and remastered from the original sources (negatives, mastertapes etc.), especially the ones missing from the DVDs. [2018-08-19 00:25:21] [Pedro] the space sequences less so [2018-08-19 00:25:40] [FekLeyrTarg] (Even though it's unlikely to happen.) [2018-08-19 00:25:48] [Resurrected Hobbyist] it would be interest, but I doubt it's viable at this point [2018-08-19 00:26:09] [Dundradal] I think someone should use the priv1 engine and make a new campaign/sector [2018-08-19 00:26:22] [Resurrected Hobbyist] why the priv1 engine? [2018-08-19 00:26:22] [Pedro] Which does the CIC have the full source for? [2018-08-19 00:26:29] [FekLeyrTarg] I love the sound of that [2018-08-19 00:26:31] [Resurrected Hobbyist] WCP I think [2018-08-19 00:26:37] [Pedro] If they were remastered I'd volunteer to plug them into the games [2018-08-19 00:26:41] [FekLeyrTarg] I thought it was WC1 [2018-08-19 00:27:04] [Resurrected Hobbyist] I know we have the dev archive for WCP [2018-08-19 00:27:18] [bobbings] there are a lot of projects that use the original game files to emulate the game [2018-08-19 00:27:40] [Dundradal] just like the idea of a priv1 game [2018-08-19 00:27:45] [Music_guru] WC1, WC3, and WC4 source code is archived i believe [2018-08-19 00:27:47] [Dundradal] enjoyed the style and play [2018-08-19 00:27:58] [Resurrected Hobbyist] fair buff [2018-08-19 00:28:04] [Justice] I'd play a new Priv1 campaign. I still do a playthrough of Priv1 with the Tarsus sometimes. Probably more often than the other games. [2018-08-19 00:28:22] [Pedro] I meant source for the videos [2018-08-19 00:28:46] [FekLeyrTarg] Ahhh, I see [2018-08-19 00:28:48] [banditloaf] I think all could be improved [2018-08-19 00:28:52] [Resurrected Hobbyist] I was/am working on a WCP video project and in connection to that there was an idea tossed around about a story that takes place between WC4 and WCP [2018-08-19 00:28:58] [Music_guru] ah ok Pedro 😉 [2018-08-19 00:28:59] [banditloaf] We have DVD quality video for WC4 and WCP [2018-08-19 00:29:09] [banditloaf] We have VHS or Beta-quality video for WC3 and Privateer 2. [2018-08-19 00:29:11] [Resurrected Hobbyist] a sort of WC-version of the 1950s, 60s and 70s [2018-08-19 00:29:54] [Resurrected Hobbyist] could make for an interesting idea if given more control like the Priv1 system [2018-08-19 00:32:21] [Kyrgiannis] Sorry to be late on the greek stuff but this is no bootleg it's the real thing [2018-08-19 00:32:32] [Defiance Industries] I'm fashionably late... 😃 Happy 20th all! [2018-08-19 00:32:45] [Resurrected Hobbyist] hey Defiance [2018-08-19 00:32:46] [Music_guru] welcome to the party, nice image! [2018-08-19 00:32:49] [Defiance Industries] hallo! [2018-08-19 00:32:50] [Resurrected Hobbyist] nice render! [2018-08-19 00:32:52] [Defiance Industries] thx [2018-08-19 00:32:59] [Pedro] Are the WC3 videos final (full music, effects, etc) or pre green screen? [2018-08-19 00:33:02] [Resurrected Hobbyist] is that a broadsword? [2018-08-19 00:33:06] [Defiance Industries] indeed it is [2018-08-19 00:33:17] [Pedro] its so pretty 😃 [2018-08-19 00:33:18] [Resurrected Hobbyist] nice [2018-08-19 00:33:22] [Defiance Industries] I found I didn't have any WC1 ships 😦 [2018-08-19 00:33:27] [Defiance Industries] I wanted one from each era [2018-08-19 00:33:36] [Defiance Industries] Guess I'll have to model me one [2018-08-19 00:33:37] [Defiance Industries] 😄 [2018-08-19 00:33:49] [Maslas] Hey Def [2018-08-19 00:34:10] [Resurrected Hobbyist] brb kids. food run [2018-08-19 00:34:42] [bobbings] how is unity as an engine to work with? [2018-08-19 00:35:06] [Pedro] Its easy, it's great for prototyping [2018-08-19 00:35:29] [banditloaf] The WC3 backgrounds were done in-camera [2018-08-19 00:35:30] [Pedro] its slow, REALLY slow. So it depends if you care about performance [2018-08-19 00:35:54] [powellXCIX] I'm crazy late to this, I know, but Happy 20th CIC! [2018-08-19 00:36:38] [bobbings] most unity games I ran did run like ass but to be fair my PC is very old [2018-08-19 00:37:05] [Resurrected Hobbyist] hey <@307396348855189504> mind if I bug you in private? [2018-08-19 00:37:10] [Defiance Industries] Sure [2018-08-19 00:37:15] [Defiance Industries] add me as a friend [2018-08-19 00:37:45] [Pedro] Nah, its super popular for good reasons. As an engine programmer who often works on slower *cough* Nintendo *cough* hardware I never have cause to use it, and I wouldn't use it for modding as you have to do things it's way so no supporting existing file formats [2018-08-19 00:37:47] [Defiance Industries] And of course if anyone wants to play the new MUP version...Here you go! [2018-08-19 00:37:58] [Resurrected Hobbyist] YOINK! [2018-08-19 00:38:09] [Pedro] but a new game by a small indie team? It's pretty much the only option [2018-08-19 00:38:16] [bobbings] I've been playing around with godot recently, and monogame [2018-08-19 00:38:31] [bobbings] it's crazy how easy this game development stuff has become [2018-08-19 00:38:35] [FekLeyrTarg] <@480516444111503360> [2018-08-19 00:38:52] [bobbings] I need to try that one day [2018-08-19 00:39:40] [FekLeyrTarg] I'm sure you'll like it. I hope it won't be long until we release the Y-Wing Demo. 😃 [2018-08-19 00:39:40] [Pedro] It's become easy to do what the engine designers have anticipated you'll do. A lot of indies very wisely work around those limits. I sometimes feel that's stiffling the industry [2018-08-19 00:40:09] [bobbings] I watched some videos and it was pretty neat, up to when lots of ships get really close then it gets a bit janky, I assume that's legacy code showing its age or something [2018-08-19 00:40:16] [Pedro] these days I work in Unreal trying to brute force in features Epic never conceived of - it's not fun when you step outside your designated area [2018-08-19 00:41:10] [Resurrected Hobbyist] I'm pretty sure that's the expected job of a systems engineer, <@329371445534916618> [2018-08-19 00:42:07] [bobbings] be nice to have a WC version of that [2018-08-19 00:42:24] [bobbings] maybe a privateer 2 one, even [2018-08-19 00:42:25] [Pedro] yeah but when working in your companies proprietary engine it's easier. The job of engine programmers has gotten harder and more tedious 😉 [2018-08-19 00:42:49] [Whistler 🎷] Happy birthday CIC [2018-08-19 00:42:53] [Dundradal] that's why I'd think doing a priv1 campaign would be fun/easy(?) [2018-08-19 00:42:56] [Dundradal] easier? [2018-08-19 00:43:19] [Music_guru] welcome Whistler [2018-08-19 00:43:21] [Pedro] If you were prepared to recode each mission from scratch [2018-08-19 00:44:04] [bobbings] hehe, have you seen that kickstarter of the guy making a dos game that fits on a 5 1/2 inch floppy? [2018-08-19 00:44:14] [bobbings] those are the minds we need [2018-08-19 00:44:18] [banditloaf] The 8bit guy one? [2018-08-19 00:44:19] [Pedro] I'm exploring supporting the old mission formats as that's an intimidating task to me [2018-08-19 00:44:24] [banditloaf] That guy is great, he does neat videos [2018-08-19 00:44:33] [Dundradal] I'm not prepared to do anything...I have no skills for that [2018-08-19 00:44:33] [bobbings] I don't remember what it was called [2018-08-19 00:44:41] [Dundradal] but I can test it for you later [2018-08-19 00:45:05] [Music_guru] ya the Planet X2 game is pretty impressive considering it runs on really old hardware [2018-08-19 00:45:09] [bobbings] He made a DOS or ZX spectrum game last year and now he's making a sequel [2018-08-19 00:45:15] [bobbings] that one [2018-08-19 00:47:30] [KrisV] He reminds me of a much older McLovin [2018-08-19 00:47:46] [banditloaf] Hehehe [2018-08-19 00:47:55] [banditloaf] He seems very genuine. I love his mail opening videos. [2018-08-19 00:47:56] [Pedro] trouble is he's kickstarting $113,000. So he could work full time for a while on that [2018-08-19 00:47:57] [bobbings] anyway it doesn't look like I'm going to figure out where I uploaded that sojerboy video to [2018-08-19 00:48:16] [banditloaf] Kris can you search solsector for his file? [2018-08-19 00:48:23] [KrisV] sure [2018-08-19 00:48:38] [bobbings] it's in reckoning, "wcmsojerboy.avi" [2018-08-19 00:48:49] [KrisV] I see it [2018-08-19 00:49:00] [Alexvont] privateer 3: the legally generic CIC made one [2018-08-19 00:49:15] [bobbings] on a whim I dubbed a bunch of music I found to the WCM trailer and that one synced really well [2018-08-19 00:49:22] [KrisV] https://reckoning.solsector.net/wcmsojerboy.mp4 [2018-08-19 00:49:35] [bobbings] that one [2018-08-19 00:49:44] [bobbings] hehe, mp4, that's what it was [2018-08-19 00:49:47] [Alexvont] the year is 20885. the federation has been locked in a brutal war with the colragthi [2018-08-19 00:50:07] [bobbings] thanks Kris [2018-08-19 00:50:09] [KrisV] It may not be a real MP4 because my browser can't play it [2018-08-19 00:50:48] [bobbings] I think it's some sort of avi, that's what the one I found on my drive was [2018-08-19 00:51:15] [Pedro] privateer 3: the legally generic CIC made one [2018-08-19 00:51:38] [Pedro] https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playtonic/yooka-laylee-a-3d-platformer-rare-vival [2018-08-19 00:51:46] [bobbings] I wonder what happened to the ascii sector guy [2018-08-19 00:52:51] [banditloaf] I remember he dropped the WC branding and then I lost track [2018-08-19 00:53:54] [Music_guru] speaking of fan projects, we've not heard from the flat universe project since june [2018-08-19 00:54:18] [FekLeyrTarg] <@459269938419597313>? [2018-08-19 00:54:25] [Music_guru] (or at least no updates on it, they were supposed to have a weekend event right?) [2018-08-19 00:54:27] [bobbings] we've heard from the flat universe guy since half an hour ago though [2018-08-19 00:54:56] [ChrisReid] Maslas is on right now here [2018-08-19 00:55:05] [bobbings] anyone played that Battlestar Galactica game? it seems to have good reviews [2018-08-19 00:55:15] [Music_guru] oh lol 🤦 [2018-08-19 00:55:35] [Music_guru] sorry about that [2018-08-19 00:55:45] [bobbings] yeah, that [2018-08-19 00:55:51] [Resurrected Hobbyist] damn it <@307396348855189504> now I have to go back and re-shoot all the footage for the launch of mission 1 [2018-08-19 00:55:57] [bobbings] that's why I brought up unity [2018-08-19 00:56:18] [ChrisReid] but they aren't saying anything 😃 [2018-08-19 00:56:25] [bobbings] since I know they work in it [2018-08-19 00:59:23] [TheyCallMeGrim] Good evening, everyone. [2018-08-19 00:59:28] [Resurrected Hobbyist] they Grim [2018-08-19 00:59:30] [Resurrected Hobbyist] hey* [2018-08-19 00:59:30] [ChrisReid] hi [2018-08-19 00:59:40] [Music_guru] anyone get a chance to listen to the sega cd music? i think it's quite good for being so different (and very Sega Genesis sounding of course 😄 ) [2018-08-19 00:59:45] [FekLeyrTarg] hi 😃 [2018-08-19 00:59:51] [Music_guru] yo grim [2018-08-19 00:59:54] [bobbings] is that the megadrive one? [2018-08-19 01:00:06] [bobbings] I saw a video of the japanese version [2018-08-19 01:00:54] [Music_guru] there is a US version as well as a japanese version [2018-08-19 01:00:59] [bobbings] "lyle starbuck" [2018-08-19 01:01:06] [ChrisReid] Yeah, I thought the Sega CD music was really good [2018-08-19 01:01:10] [Music_guru] starbuck is fm towns i think [2018-08-19 01:01:20] [ChrisReid] I've heard it in bits and pieces here and there of course, but it's nice having it organized [2018-08-19 01:01:26] [FekLeyrTarg] Great work on extracting the tracks. I'm very happy that this has finally happened. 😃 [2018-08-19 01:01:44] [bobbings] you should get chris roberts to declare that the canonical player name, that'd be a good way to make people angry forever [2018-08-19 01:02:08] [Alexvont] that 'star wars: resistance' trailer that dropped this week just makes me believe even moreso that there should be wing commander on TV again. [2018-08-19 01:02:09] [Music_guru] ya, that took some effort... it was a project i actually started on a few years back but got stuck and recently picked it up to finish it off [2018-08-19 01:02:29] [bobbings] I was really impressed with rebels [2018-08-19 01:02:53] [Resurrected Hobbyist] I donno, I've gotten kind of Star Wars-ed out at this point [2018-08-19 01:03:01] [bobbings] I assumed it was going to be some disney cash-in [2018-08-19 01:03:12] [Resurrected Hobbyist] and I can't even say it's because anything has actually been bad [2018-08-19 01:03:19] [bobbings] I haven't seen any of the new movies so I'm still game [2018-08-19 01:03:42] [Resurrected Hobbyist] short version: TFA (it was okay, nothing bad, nothing good) [2018-08-19 01:03:48] [bobbings] I really enjoyed Lost Stars too [2018-08-19 01:03:58] [Resurrected Hobbyist] TLJ: just turn your brain off and enjoy the sound track and pretty pictures [2018-08-19 01:04:17] [Resurrected Hobbyist] Rogue One, honestly I really liked and thought it was well done. Not perfect, but very good [2018-08-19 01:04:21] [Wildcat86] It sure was pretty [2018-08-19 01:04:24] [bobbings] or I should say I really enjoyed the manga version that's being serialized right now, haven't read the book yet [2018-08-19 01:04:33] [Resurrected Hobbyist] Plus bonus points for giving us Vader on Screen we've wanted for 30 years. [2018-08-19 01:04:53] [Wildcat86] That last sequence was terrifying [2018-08-19 01:04:57] [Resurrected Hobbyist] yes [2018-08-19 01:04:59] [Resurrected Hobbyist] it was! [2018-08-19 01:05:02] [bobbings] it's kind of funny that gary whitta the pc gamer reviewer is now gary whitta the star wars screenwriter [2018-08-19 01:05:05] [Resurrected Hobbyist] it made Vader terrifying again [2018-08-19 01:05:18] [bobbings] get that printed on a hat [2018-08-19 01:05:25] [Resurrected Hobbyist] what?
