<[vince]> George: are we gonna be stuck using the shadow warrior CD's music, or can 
   we use some of our own CDs?
<Vision-X> where is he ?
<D_Nukem> George: What kind of music will SW have? 
<Vision-X> Can ANYONE help me with build ??????
<GeorgB3DR> Nedx:  Midi sucsk, but the shareware has to have something right?  So it 
   will have Midi.  Then the full game will ne cd music only

<QWAB> George: if you dont want to answer this it is ok.  Did your style and 
   monolith;s style not jive, not to put down either of you, just did u guys go 
   about thingss differently?
<GeorgB3DR> Might need CD to load, then can put in your music cd etc
<[vince]> George: dude, don't do that
<GeorgB3DR> qwab:  That sums it up
<[vince]> putting the CD in is annoying as hell
<PantherX> Yeah the copy protection on PPAK sucks

<{_Ryan_}> heh
<GeorgB3DR> vince: you can't stop the pirates.  what we want to stop is "casual" 
   office and friend to friend sharing between people that aren't techie enough to 
   get hacks etc.  That's 90% of the gamers
* {Snakes} is “AWAY“ “*“ Have to fix something “*“
*** {Snakes} is now known as {SnakAWAY
<[vince]> 90%
<[vince]> no way...
<PantherX> I got a crack so I could put my CD's away and not have it on my desk

<QWAB> george: can u get layre on here i wanna chat at him
<PantherX> George, it only took about two weeks for a crack to be made for it, so it 
   doesn't stop that either
<GeorgB3DR> iron:  Scott is doing great stuff for Prey.  They are all working on 
   getting the engine up and running with 3dfx, 16bit etc...looking cool

<Preacher> When will Prey be out? 
<Preacher> 3DFX is so kewl
<Nedx> George, can you use your sword in combat other than like a one hit manuever?
<GeorgB3DR> panther:  Except that most people don't get the hacks.  Only onliners 
   and advanced users.
<[vince]> TCs are what have kept Doom popular so long
<D_Nukem> There is a cool new Shadow Warrior site out also.  Following the largest 
   Duke3D site at Elitegames.  http://www.elitegames.com/sw/
<GeorgB3DR> preacher:  1998

<bum> !stuff

<GeorgB3DR> jvol:  doubt it.  ken had it almost ported, but didn't finish it
<D_Nukem> George: That advertising that Joe put up on the site is really helping for 
   the channel!
<potroasts> !bar
<Cerebris> Hey George-Will u guys make a duke2sw converter?
<jvolmax> ok
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Cool, I hoped it would :)
<GeorgB3DR> cere:  no, you will have to load maps and retile yourself
<{_Ryan_}> did you go paint balling?
<potroasts> !babe
<[vince]> George: make that mofo port that damn engine.. shoulda been done long time 
   ago, imo.. :)
<Cerebris> Ok
<jvolmax> potroasts Walkz up to Cindy Crawford and she sayz Get out of HERE!
<GeorgB3DR> ryan:  yup...shot my share of slow ass developers :)
<Preacher> George: Will Prey support 3DFX when it comes out, or will there be a 
   patch later?
<potroasts> !babe
<D_Nukem> Preacher: Support is already in
<{_Ryan_}> preacher: preys comin in 98
<GeorgB3DR> preacher:  Prey will support 3dfx, Rendition and any other cool 3d 
   hardware from day 1. 
<jvolmax> potroasts Walkz up to Pamela Anderson and she sayz Let'z go to tha back!
* \-_666_-\ -:x:Is Away (busy) [PAGE=ON] [SAVE=ON]:x:-
<Preacher> 98???!
<dumpty666> im going skiing tommoro in bufflo can anyone tell me if there is any 
   snow in bufflo ny 
<jvolmax> George: can you advertise #dukeppak on the 3DRealms' page?
<D_Nukem> Preacher: Always been '98.
<Preacher> Shit......
<RobBrown> jvolmax:Well send em over to you from here. :)
<{_Ryan_}> in 98 prey will support 3dfx voodoo rush super power ultra edition
<GeorgB3DR> jvol: we could, but it seemed like Duke3d was the place to promote
<D_Nukem> jvolmax: I don't think Joe wants the site turning into a mess of 
   advertisments.
<QWAB> george: have you talked to Tom Hall recently?
<GeorgB3DR> ryan:  Yes, Prey will support any/all great 3d cards.  support for them 
   is easy
<jvolmax> ok
<PantherX> Yeah, anyone who is a regular here knows about DukePPAK
<GeorgB3DR> qwab:  not since he left.  Suppose we've both been too busy
*** ZenZagg has quit IRC (Ping timeout for ZenZagg[karcod19@pmdyn113.vivid.net])
<Cerebris> George-How is Layre doing?  Will he ever be back onto IRC and visit us?  
   :Ž
<QWAB> george: he just released a quake level similar to one of his rott leves
<Preacher> George: Will Prey come with an editor like Duke3d?
<PantherX> Yeah, he's a kewl guy
<{_Ryan_}> yes
<D_Nukem> George: A big question is Prey supporting MMX Technology...
<jvolmax> George: what are the requirements for Shadow Warrior gonna be?
<GeorgB3DR> cere:  not sure.  Scott is getting settled in here and working hard on 
   Prey
<{_Ryan_}> paul said so
<RobBrown> D_Nukem:Prey won't do MMX
<MattShake> yeah, MMX!
<GeorgB3DR> DN:  Not at present.  we don't think much of mmx, but have the dev kit.  
   Might use it a little.
<Joris_> George: Will Prey have a cool palette (unlike Quake)?
<MattShake> Go for the MMX
<MattShake> damn
<[vince]> George: you guys need a 13 year old to come with you guys to e3 so you can 
   have a little punk to beat on in networked Shadow Warrior? :)
<GeorgB3DR> Jvol:  SW requires a P66+ and 16 megs
<jvolmax> ok
<GeorgB3DR> Joris:  I'd imagine so.  Prey will likely be 16 bit only as well
<QWAB> 166????
* JWolf is “AWAY“ “*“ Eatin' dinner... brb... “*“
*** JWolf is now known as JWolfAWAY
<potroasts> !drink
<RobBrown> George:Is the P-66 going to be the "official" minimum requirement? Or is 
  it subject to change?
<QWAB> ohh stupid me 66
<jvolmax> The Mystical Magic© Bartender serves potroasts a nice cold glass .
<D_Nukem> Preacher: Everything you have asked is on: http://www.oakland.edu/~klmatero
   /prey
<Preacher> George: Will Prey come with an editor like Duke3d?
<PantherX> p66 only?  That's kewl
<[vince]> QWAB: haha :)
<MattShake> P66 or P166?
<D_Nukem> Preacher: Yes, check the page
<GeorgB3DR> Rob:  We have a 66, so will make sure it at least runs "ok" on it.  
   Probably be like duke on a 486/66
<jvolmax> George: I have an idea for the Duke3d webpage, you can make a TC Groups 
   section with links to TC Group webpages
* MattShake couldnt care less any more :) w000! 
<GeorgB3DR> Preacher:  Yes it will.  "Preditor"
<Ironman> Preacher: the prey editor is called Preditor!
<Joris_> George: 16bit, that will require alot of horse power... will there be 
   support for 320x200x256????
<RobBrown> George:Okay..I'll change my webpage info to reflect that...thanks
<GeorgB3DR> jvol:  good idea...
<[vince]> gah
<[vince]> 320x200x256 = sucksucksuck
<Cerebris> Yes very good idea
<PantherX> Hey Vince, it's fast
<D_Nukem> jvolmax: Joe Siegler is the one to talk to
<GeorgB3DR> joris:  We will see.  We might make heavy use of 3d cards.  I think the 
   day of software 3d engines is over.
<jvolmax> ok
<Joris_> George: and what about a section with DukeMatch demos
<[vince]> Joris: in '98, you WILL have a system that will support ay least 
   640x480x16 bit.
<Nedx> I will have to give 3D Realms credit for  a cool Editor name (Preditor)
<Joris_> George: haven't seen those around yet
<[vince]> if you don't, you should get one
<MattShake> Screamer 2 had a 320x200x65535 mode - nice nice nice nice nice idea ;)
<GeorgB3DR> TR is ok normal, but rocks in 3dfx.  Quake is ok normal, but GLQuake 
   rocks.  See a pattern?
<PantherX> TR?
<GeorgB3DR> tomb raider
<{_Ryan_}> i got to install my monster 3d....sigh.......damn benchmarking
<Preacher> 3DFX rockz
* RobBrown will see the pattern.....as soon as the damn mailman delevers his M3D! :)
<Cerebris> TR?
<[vince]> i hate Quake's lighting
<Cerebris> Ahh
<Preacher> Tomb Raider
<PantherX> Ahh, thanx
<jvolmax> i hate Quake
<[vince]> just a big blob of light.. like a sphere
<Lithium_> rob: yes I have the righteous installed yesterday :) YOu will enjoy.
<[vince]> Quake is cool.. i love my TCP/IP :)
<Ironman> Oh boy, now I have to explain to my wife that I need to upgrade to at 
   least a P166. She hates me now! <G>
*** Zaphod (ranhorn@ts2-04.edm.iSTAR.ca) has joined #duke3d
