<sammy2> Can any body tell me where to get jetpack for the toxicdump?
<GeorgB3DR> Vadir:  Yup, only the top 2% of mousers have a chance :)
*** Mykle (alemik@smx-ca8-53.ix.netcom.com) has left #duke3d
<Vadir> :)
<GeorgB3DR> Ring: Typical problems.  It'll be real cool when it's out though
<D_Nukem> George: Does this mean you will be publishing many more pinball games in 
  the future?
<Vadir> do u use the keyboard default setup

<ATBrill> Hey D_N...  Been busy playing Diablo
<sammy2> help
<D_Nukem> This is what Joe Siegler had to say: "You're correct.  Another division. 
   As for "the story", that's all we're telling for now."
*** LagWagon is now known as PCGamer
<Vadir> George: how often do u practice?
*** sammy2 (sdaniel@van-bc6-44.netcom.ca) has left #duke3d
<GeorgB3DR> We just got the first round of voices into Shadow Warrior.  It's 
   pretty cool...
<GeorgB3DR> Vadir:  Depends.  Sometimes I play daily.  but when we get busy, 
   maybe once a week
*** Ironman (~gave@van-as-14a12.direct.ca) has joined #duke3d
<_TheMAD_> George: When is  www.shadowwarrior.com gonna be updated?
<D_Nukem> TheMAD: That's GT's site, not 3D Realms.
<GeorgB3DR> tehmad:  shadowwarrior.com is GT's deal.  Our site will probablybe 
   more current
<Vadir> George do u use the shotgun mainly, and isnt the default keyboard 
   setup sore on your hands especially when running,strafing,and shooitng at 
   the same time
<RingFingr> George: What all kinds of vehicles are there in Shadow Warrior, 
   and will the player get to create his/her own vehicles via Build?
<GeorgB3DR> I will update lot's of new SW shots soon, as we just got some new 
   art in the game...
<_TheMAD_> yeah but having a page called after the game like that is nice
<GeorgB3DR> Vadir:  Guess I'm used to it after 3 years :)  Use rocekt inside, 
   shotgun outside
<Joris> George: Have you heard of BDP then?
<Mykle> George: Will Blood be out at almost the same time at Blood? At first I 
   was thought Blood was to come out a lot later, but now it seems like that 
   is not the case
<GeorgB3DR> themad:  Yup, that's why we let them do it :)
<Mykle> Oops...meant SW stead of Blood
<Vadir> u have been playing duke for 3 years?
<D_Nukem> I saw that GT's release date for Blood was 3-28-97
<GeorgB3DR> Mykle: Blood will be out soon, Shadow Warrior a little later...
<Vadir> did u play it when it woz in development then
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  of course...daily
<Ironman> Hey George, what's up?

<GeorgB3DR> joris:  Todd is a hermit :) give me your email and I'll see if he 
   wants to talk...
<GeorgB3DR> The cons are pretty explnatory and if you can't do it now with the 
   cons, you can't do it
<NoCarrier> Brossard? Québec?
<Joris> Georg: antiwin@worldonline.nl
<GeorgB3DR> NoC:  Dunno.  I think it's french descent or something
<|Goose|> hi everyone
<Joris> Thanks for the trouble George
<RingFingr> George: What all kinds of vehicles are there in Shadow Warrior, 
   and will the player get to create his/her own vehicles via Build? (Think I 
   asked before....but it didn't get answered...)
<D_Nukem> George lives near Dallas, Texas, USA
<GeorgB3DR> joris: ok.  don't count on help though :)
<GeorgB3DR> Ring:  You can create your own vehicles and put lot's of weapons 
   on them

  :)

<GeorgB3DR> NoC:  Yes, President and project leader of the games
<Joris> George: Be sure to mention I'm the author of the BEST CON hacking faq 
   on the net... so the information he'll give me won't be just usefull for me 
   but for everybody who reads the faq!
<GeorgB3DR> Ring:  The vehicles are a little limited (can't go up slopes, or 
   cross sector lines) but they are still cool.  You can damage/fix them etc
<Reptile> Joris -- Overdrijven is ook een vak
<D_Nukem> George: Haven't heard much with BOS lately...anything new? What's 
  the expected Q of compleation?
<Joris> Reptile: hehe
<Reptile> GeorgB3DR -- When will Plutoinium Pack be in The Netherlands?
<RingFingr> Oh well....it'll be fun to barrel down the street in a huge jeep 
   with riot guns on 4 sides with my buddies, destroying everything.... :)
<GeorgB3DR> DN: "When it's done".  Shareware table complete with tons of 
   speech and about to enter beta in a week.  Also being converted to Win95

<GeorgB3DR> As it is, it's my daily personal hell :)
*** PCGamer (~no_fun@ppp-202.infoteck.qc.ca) has joined #duke3d

<D_Nukem> NoCarrier: Oh, okay, sorry.
<GeorgB3DR> Iron:  Probably early Feb...We are nearly done with SW layout and 
   now just need to tweak
<Reptile> Nice to see you PCGamer
<NoCarrier> George Sorry... I was a question 
<NoCarrier> sorry for my english...
<Ironman> Hi Joris. find those keys yet?
<PCGamer> Same thing for you Reptile!
<GeorgB3DR> Polly Vu, "When it's done", NoCarrier :)
<Joris> I found the keys allright...
<Joris> But don't know where to use them...
<Ironman> I think Shadow Warrior will be the next Duke and Blood the next Quake
<GeorgB3DR> Neither Blood nor Shadow Warrior are as advanced as Quake...
<Joris> I think Prey will be the next Quake...
<Vadir> George: Whos the worlds best duke player? or is there a top ten list 
   or summit?
<NoCarrier> George: Dont stop  i like your game... But i dont like QUAKE...
<Joris> No, no, no... Quake will be the one BEFORE Prey ;)
<D_Nukem> No no no, they will all be better than Quake! 
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  Dunno.  It depends on the day they play.
<Vadir> yeah
<Vadir> i can be ace 1 day then not so good the other
<Joris> Georg: Quake is better than Duke but Duke is more fun than Quake..
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  There are many top lists.  TEN, Kali, CompuServe 
   etc...Wish there was a "world" list for Duke
<NoCarrier> i comme back later...
<NoCarrier> bye bye
<Vadir> bye
<Vadir> George r u planning on coming in here more often?
<RingFingr> I wish Duke had something similar to Quakeworld...
<Vadir> i realise u will be very busy
*** NoCarrier (~Shotgun@ppp-5200-1722.mtl.total.net) has left #duke3d
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  I get by here once a week at least...usually
<Vadir> ok
<D_Nukem> Vadir: He has been coming in here a lot(In Nov in Dec), but not 
  lately.
<Vadir> ta d_nukem
<GeorgB3DR> ring:  TEN has had persistant rankings for Duke for awhile now.  
   THat's a cool thing about TEN play.  Your rank stays
<Vadir> George do u play duke on a 20" monitor?
<RingFingr> George: Yes....but QW is FREE....TEN is NOT... :)
*** Mykle is now known as Myk-EATS
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  21'' at office.  17 at home
<Reptile> GeorgB3DR -- Are you a Watcom programmer?
<GeorgB3DR> ring:  such is life .... 
<Joris> Reptile plays duke on a 21"
<GeorgB3DR> reptile:  Don't have time to code anymore.  Mainly lead the teams 
   and might make a map or two from time to time
<Joris> Ring: what's QW?
<Ironman> Diablo has a server too and Quakeworld keeps track and they are all 
   for free. That would be nice George. You might as well spend some of the 
   money you are making on a server of some sort
<Vadir> could u go over you rexact keyboard pattern quickly for me please 
   george for whatever u have modified eg - v=medipack etc (if u have a spare 
   min)
<jvolmax> when is Shadow Warrior comin out
<Reptile> GeorgB3DR -- Did you make any Duke Nukem maps?
*** PgOoPoT (somewher@pool32-15.odyssee.net) has joined #duke3d
<RingFingr> George: Perhaps...but with paying for a 2nd phone line and $21 for 
   net access, plus being a musician and buying new guitars and amps, I have 
   no spare money...
<PgOoPoT> hi!
<D_Nukem> jvolmax: "When it's done" :)
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  default kbd, except jump/duck mapped to medkit too.  
   pretty simple
*** menace (menace@deepthought.armory.com) has joined #duke3d
<Vadir> ok thanx
<RingFingr> jvol: WHEN IT'S DONE...thank you... :)
*** NoCarrier (~Shotgun@ppp-5200-1722.mtl.total.net) has joined #duke3d
<Ironman> SHOP-N-BAG! That is one of my all time favorite maps
<GeorgB3DR> ring:  understood....TEN's not for everyone...We are looking into 
   the "free" internet play thing
<menace> anyone here have DukeAtomic??
<Joris> Ironman!
<jvolmax> not me
<GeorgB3DR> iron:  Yup, I just wish I had made it a little smaller.  But it 
   was my first map...so....
<Joris> Ironman: bdpmeeting on powwow
<NoCarrier> Yes we got it all...
<Joris> Ironman: join at brad's address
<SkiBum> Will Shadow Warrior even run on a 486, just not very well?
<PgOoPoT> yes nocarrier... we got it all ;)
<Ironman> invite George
<PgOoPoT> atomic...plutonium... we got it all ;)
*** LevelMast (~Exodous@Cust58.Max3.Cleveland.OH.MS.UU.NET) has joined #duke3d
<jvolmax> george, when u gonna leave?
<GeorgB3DR> ski: We are not locking out 486's.  But a Pentium is REQUIRED.  If 
   you buy SW for a 486, you aren't going to get very fast rates (if it 
   playable at all)
<GeorgB3DR> jvol:  a few minutes....
<menace> oh...Well can someone tell me how to run the fake multiplayer?
<jvolmax> k
<LevelMast> Hey George
<GeorgB3DR> menace: "Duke3d /a /v1 /l1 /m /q2"  Duke3D ? for options
<PgOoPoT> george... wil you make a new improve version for win97 later this 
   year.. cuz now quake will now be realese for win95
<GeorgB3DR> Level....
<NoCarrier> Georgeb3dr : i got a 486 dx4 100 ? It will work? as duke?
<SkiBum> Guess it's time to buy a pentium
<jvolmax> i got pentium
<GeorgB3DR> NoC:  No.  Shadow Warrior needs more cpu speed that Duke did.  
   Lot's more...
<PgOoPoT> nocarrier: you'll have to steal a computer at your job ;) (joke ;))
<GeorgB3DR> A P90 should be considered the minimum for Shadow Warrior.
<_TheMAD_> George: you have any solution for playing duke in dos with a 
   Plug-n-pray modem without Win95 in the background
<menace> Thanks Georg
<GeorgB3DR> themad:  No.  does it not work?  I have heard that some PNP modems 
   won't work.  So much for compatability
<PgOoPoT> will duke3d work one day under win95?
<D_Nukem> Plug-n-Prey you mean? :)
<NoCarrier> PgOoPoT i gonna thing about that! What is your compurer again?
<PgOoPoT> shdow warrior will be, for some of people, the best 3d game, is it 
   right (better than quake)?
<Booger> duke works for me in win95
<Vadir> :)
<GeorgB3DR> pgoo:  Probably not. Duke 3D is done for the most part..
<PgOoPoT> ok, thanks
<Vadir> duke3d is already a classic game im my opinion
<PgOoPoT> george: which guy are you on the pictuer on the reverse of the duke 
   nukem 3d cd?
<GeorgB3DR> pg:  See the legend on the manual inside back cover
<_TheMAD_> some PnP modems?!!!!! All of them I guess.. 
<NoCarrier> Vadir like Dune2 and Wolf and War2...
<jvolmax> PnP modems?
<Ironman> the pig cop!<G>
<Vadir> George do u play duke on a P200 i assume or something else?
<GeorgB3DR> themad:  Dunno, but we all play modem Duke and under Win95 at the 
   same time.  NEver had a problem
<PgOoPoT> they don't say george :(
<PgOoPoT> yes, scuse me ;)
<PgOoPoT> excuse me george
<GeorgB3DR> vadir:  P166 most of the time
<_TheMAD_> I had tons of problems before with 1.3 but now with 1.5 it seems to 
   go ok
<jvolmax> george: do u play alot of Duke3d
<D_Nukem> George: Do the people making BOS have a company name?
<Vadir> War2 is ok nocarrier
<GeorgB3DR> themad:  Ken also fixed a modem bug on 1.4/1.5 that helped connect 
   problems.  Maybe that was it
<Vadir> prefer duke and C&C, and red alert though

<D_Nukem> You can't go by release dates, I was planning for Prey to be 
  released in 1997, I thought a whole year would fit the release, but not for 
  Prey :)
