[CTF Map] Ancient

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:42:57 -0800

Well I was going to add support for DOM and ONS but I couldn't be arsed. I also considered just not releasing this but I'm going to anyway otherwise it renders the entire excercise pointless.

Fairly simple open ctf maps people seem to like a lot. So I made one that ruins line of sight with trees so its much harder to see across. Take that, campers!

Used a multitude of textures. Some from opengameart.org, all gpl or public. Made the bumpmaps for the stone textures myself (poorly).

Enjoy. Please inform me asap if there are missing textures/models/gophers.

Current issues are that apparently it looks very bright/washed out if the user has bloom/hdr on. Any suggestions on fixing this are welcome.

The Current State of Nexuiz

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:01:24 -0800

A lot is unknown at the moment. The first time we had any idea something was up, was when Dokujisan created the Nexuiz.com makeover? Nexuiz going to consoles? thread on Alientrap Forums. The buzz on IRC and on the forums indicates that the "owner/creator" of Nexuiz / Alientrap, Lee Vermeulen has sold the name and domain Nexuiz(.com) to a game maker by the name of illfonic.

According to LordHavoc (developer of the Darkplaces engine, who was apparently in on the deal), the game was licensed as such:

Quote:[6:14:56 pm] id sells id tech 2 (quake+quake2) licenses for $10k
[6:15:22 pm] my modifications and the contributor modifications (which I obtained permission for) were an additional expense
[6:15:39 pm] thus they licensed darkplaces as a whole
[6:16:06 pm] <[-z-]> contributor modifications, as it patches div or samual or dib mrbougo, etc submitted?
[6:16:43 pm] For example, motionblur
[6:21:11 pm] yep

It appears that all the games art will be redesigned but it's unclear as to whether this art will be inherited by the original Nexuiz (probably not). There are also questions about possible GPL code being re-licensed without author's consent.

As of right now, it appears as if the deal was made for the reputation of the name and reputation it has built. This, of course, has the community quite upset as the original Nexuiz will likely be made the victim in a comparison.

So as for now http://www.nexuiz.com represents the new game supposedly for the PS3 and http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz represents the original (optionally, the more phonetic http://www.nexiuz.org works as well).

As a contributor to both nexuiz and alientrap, I'm upset about the way this was handled. Apparently only 3 people out of the 26 currently in the developer chat knew about this, (2 being Vermeulen and LordHavoc). This has many of the developers questioning their contributions and efforts as well as the ethics of some.

Here is Vermeulen's current response

We're still trying to wrap our heads around the situation on IRC.

The Current State and Future Plan of the Nexuiz Ninjaz

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:17:21 -0800

I wanted to make a note on the current state of and future plan for the Nexuiz Ninjaz, before I get to the state of Nexuiz (GPL), which we've recently found out had it's name sold by Lee Vermeulen without anything being mentioned to the community or the bulk of development team.

The Nexuiz Ninjaz were founded on the belief that all things could be seen as an art or discipline that can be mastered and refined. We came together to build strength in our community by sharing ideas in areas we'd believed to have currently mastered, such as movement techniques, weapon strategies, flag capture methods, server managemen, map mapping, graphic design, web applications, music, sounds, videos or anything you can imagine relating to the GPL game Nexuiz that tickled our spirits.

This community has been seen through many glasses and met with many attitudes through-out our lifetime. We've lived through different eras of Nexuiz and tried many things.

Recently, interest in "staff" has been dwindling and that decline in interest also hurt the quality of the site and we (mostly me) let things get out of hand. Particularly with the forums (spam bots) but also with the maps and servers, which I've neglected.

As some of you know, I have been working for a company for the past 8 months or so and that workload has been pretty consuming at times. I do a lot of what I've been doing for years. Building, configuring, programming and networking computers/devices together. Doing that all day it can be hard to do the same thing when I get home. However, as an investor in myself and in this community, I do plan to rejuvenate the website(s)/community by reapplying the skills I've been fine-tuning at work to here.

Making sure of this are some of the ninjaz, you'll likely see hopping around on some of the best Nexuiz servers for CTF and best Nexuiz servers for DM, mookow, PC Lizard and Dokujisan, who have been been greasing the wheels of dojo_v2 development.

As for future of the website, I think I want to re-evaluate our needs and re-design the way I go about integrating services into it. I feel like in some ways, it caused more frustration than ease. Please reply here or PM me about usability issues and what you'd like to see improved.

An Interesting Thought!!!

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:39:21 -0800

Hi Guys,
I saw the movie "The Animal" recently, the movie was not a very good one to watch but the thing that interested me is the concept of the movie. A human being having different animal organs sounds something out of the world, but it is worth a thought. If you are given a chance which organ of your's would you like to replace with that of an animal?

It would be wonderful to have your posts on this question.

Instruments you enjoy playing!!!

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:35:35 -0800

Let's have some time off the regular discussions and have something else to talk about. So, let's talk about music. Music to me is a healing touch after the day's hard work and helps me rejuvenate myself for the next day.

Do you play any instruments? It would be fun know what instruments the people here enjoy playing.

I love playing guitar the most and other than that I play the keyboard.

Have you ever written anything like this?

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:18:02 -0800

On one local radio station RJ Malishka as written this line, sharing for you

"The degree of Success is measured by his/her height of doings"

I liked it Malishka, keep doing it.

Define love

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:19:22 -0800

Hey

Without using the word love - define love. I have heard many different responses to this question but very rarely do I hear the definition. Typically, people describe how love makes them feel...but do they really know what love means? When you say "I love you" to someone, it really should have nothing to do with them...it should be about you!

Cannot open docs in Word

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:33:36 -0800

Please help!!

I'm not terribly computer literate - but I write for a living and am currently having major problems accessing my word docs.

I have Microsoft word 2003 xp

This morning I received a document from a friend, she had proof read some articles that I'd sent her and had highlighted some points. She initially sent me a document in word 2007, but I had trouble opening it (it did not show as a word doc) then she saved it to 2003. I opened it no problem, but thereafter, I have not been able to open any other word doc - including, most frustratingly, my novel (all 43,287 words of it so far) I can't begin to explain how annoying this is.

Every time I try to opne a word doc two boxes open - one says "The command cannot be performed because a dialogue box is open. Click OK and close dialogue box to continue." and the other just says "preparing to install". So, I click OK, but the 'preparing to install does nothing, at all. So I click either "cancel" or the little close box and then the whole Word program shuts. This happens regardless of what document I try to open.

I've tried to restart and I've run all the pending up dates on my computer. I've done some research and some suggestions have been to remove the 'offending' document from my start program. But I have no idea whatsoever what this offending document might be....

I really really really need to get this sorted out and would so appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

Thanks
