Q-Gears / Re: Current state.

« on: 2013-10-08 23:33:28 »

When I originally envisioned the engine, I wanted it to use the data files natively. It was Akari who decided to go the conversion route. I also wanted concentation on the PSX version as the PC version was really rare. Now that it's been re-released, and now the PSX version is the rare one.

Regarding the re-release, I wonder if anybody has considered if there might be differences in the files between the old original release and the re-release?

The reason I ask is because the version I have is the PC version, the first original one:



Short of uploading ISOs to anybody, perhaps there are some things I could offer active developers that they might need?

I am really glad you all are still actively working on this.  One of these days I can't wait to play the full game front to back using what all of you have built.

Well, Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius, so I would go with coincidence myself.

The TMNT reference made me laugh.  I never knew about that one.  But I do know of one remake from video games to production, which I can't say........  Well, I really shouldn't say anything about it:

General Discussion / Do you hear what I hear?

In the first 10 seconds of this song, I know what I hear.

This song is by Pete Townshend: "Let My Love Open The Door"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZbcoWrUsw

I was in CVS the other day and this song started to play.  It instantly caught my attention, I almost dropped what I had in my hands.  My initial thought was "Good grief, someone remade THAT!  Of all things."

But no, the song is from 1980, which surprised me that it preceded the series by 7 years.  But I'm only referring to the first 10 seconds of it.

Q-Gears / qgears.sourceforge updates?

« on: 2012-07-26 23:38:02 »

I don't know what the status of webmastering for the qgears page is, but I would like to push some updates.  Spelling, release dates, and small things.  I have some spare time right now, and it seems to be an unfulfilled role. (?)

Version: 1.1
(March 26, 2007)

Now it would say version .21, June 27, 2012.

I see below the textbox where it says there are options for attachments, but I don't see how to upload them.  If I missed the absolute obvious, my apologies.

I also wrote a small update to the home page news page.  I added the following:

Q-Gears v0.21
Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:11:53 GMT

Engine development continues. Added more background animations, optimized scrolling, scripting improvements, better handling of updates and debugging, smoother camera panning, jump capability has been fixed, and much more!

All I did was replicate the v.19 news item and re-write it.  It mentions RSS, so there may be an additional technical issue to completion.  This timing is based on Akari's forum posting, and I wrote this based on some of the not-so-technical items in the changelog.  The right sidebar for the news page is updated for the version and date, and the bottom original news posting had a misspelling.  No biggie.  I type much sloppier when I'm in a hurry myself, and I catch them later.  I saw the video for .21 and I smiled.  This is fantastic, what you're doing is great.  I can't do what you're doing, but I can do other things.

So with the forum rules that I didn't consider, the codes that I posted don't work as posted.  They do as I saved them.  I sent an email to Halkun asking him if he's interested in some light page updates, we'll see what he says.

Q-Gears / Qgears for Linux

« on: 2012-07-26 22:27:43 »

Thanks for the suggestion.  When I initially saw the code, it didn't mean anything to me.  Never used mercurial before.  But here's what I get with your code:

hg clone http://q-gears.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/q-gears/q-gears

Turns into:

% hg clone --verbose -- hg clone http://q-gears.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/q-gears/q-gears /home/user/Public
repository hg clone http://q-gears.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/q-gears/q-gears not found
[command returned code 255 Thu Jul 26 18:16:46 2012]

Anybody else get that or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Q-Gears / Qgears for Linux

« on: 2012-07-15 18:50:54 »

The last couple of releases zipped up on SF only contain .exes and .dlls.  Is making Qgears linux compatible still a goal?

Either way, thank you for what you're doing Akari.  Eidos never got it right but I'm sure you can.
