<Zaphod|> HELLO ALL!
<PrySyAWAY> Hi 
<FDS> Hey, it's Mr. Beeblebrox
<Zaphod|> WOW... I've gotten on to Undernet, and there is little or no lag.... 
   COOL!
<Zaphod|> hey FDS, Panther, LM, and Duke....
<Dopefish> IRC goes so much faster when you're on an ISDN line.  :)
<D_Nukem> Dopefish: Did you hear that half of the Prey team has been visited IRC 
  now?
<Zaphod|> I'm on a 33.6, so it's not ISDN, SHOOT ME!
<Zaphod|> :)
<FDS> ***BANG***
<Levelmast> Bang
<Dopefish> Well, if you wanna be technical, I'm on at x2 56k.  My office machine 
   is ISDN.
<PrySyAWAY> U.S. 33.6 2x
<Zaphod|> RDRR!!!
<PantherX> hola
<Dopefish> Lon: Yeah, I saw that.  I have your news page set up as one of my 
   daily visits.  :)
<Zaphod|> I don't have the x2 yet, but I'm gonna GET IT!!!!
<PrySyAWAY> U.S. 33.6 x2
<PrySyAWAY> oops
*** bwernAWAY (bwernicke@bjw-1.pr.mcs.net) has joined #duke3d
*** D_Nukem sets mode: +o bwernAWAY
<Zaphod|> I've got the Sportster 33.6 modem.... (just got it 2-day....
<D_Nukem> Dopefish: I'm trying to upgrade my Courier to x2, but can't get 
  through to USR's BBS, did you have any problems?
*** bwernAWAY is now known as bwernicke
* bwernicke is back!
<Zaphod|> hey Brad!
<Dopefish> Lon: I don't call the BBS, I got the files from their CIS Forum.
<Zaphod|> Brad: there was SOMETHING I wanted to talk to you about....  hmmmm.... 
   lemme think....
* bwernicke says I am in an Adrenaline Vault meeting... logging only...
<D_Nukem> Joe: Do you have a Courier also?
<bwernicke> Heya Joe S.
<Dopefish> And before anyone asks...  "When it's done".  :)
* D_Nukem says he is in the AV Meeting and #Duke3D :)
<D_Nukem> Wow, Joe can read our minds..
<PantherX> RDRR
<bwernicke> hahaha roflol!
*** glass-man has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Dopefish> Hey Brad.
<HanK-AwaY> I'm back
<Zaphod|> ummm... are you people trying to tell me that you can get the x2 files 
   for free from the USR BBS?
*** HanK-AwaY is now known as HanK_HiLL
<Dopefish> At Apogee, I have a USR Imodem ISDN External on one machine, and a 
   Sportster DSVD 33.6 on the other.
<D_Nukem> Zaphod: They are also on ftp.usr.com
<Dopefish> At home, I have 3 USR Courier V-Everythings.
<Dopefish> The X2 files are there, but to use the X2 code, you need a security 
   password thingie.
<D_Nukem> Joe: One isn't good enough for you? :)
<Dopefish> If you didn't sign up with them for the free upgrade when it was 
   running, you have to pay for x2.
<HanK_HiLL> Dopefish, Who does Lo Wang's voice in Shadow Warrior?
<HanK_HiLL> Lo Wang sounds AWESOME!
<Dopefish> Well, I have a two line BBS at home that uses two of them, and the 
   other is on my dialout machine.
<HanK_HiLL> He sounds like a Japanese version of Duke Nukem!
<Dopefish> I also have 2 spare V.Everythings, and a Hayes Optima 288 as well.  :D
<PantherX> huh-huh Dopefish lives
<FDS> I've gotta sparc 5
<Dopefish> I forget the name of the Lo Wang guy, but he's somewhat famous.
<HanK_HiLL> Cool
<Dopefish> I've also got a working Smartmodem 300 here, too.
<HanK_HiLL> He is the PERFECT voice!
<D_Nukem> Joe: Have you been begging the SW team to put DopeFish into SW?
<Levelmast> Hank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<HanK_HiLL> Hi there  :)
<Dopefish> No, I haven't.  It wouldn't work.  Besides, George wouldn't let me do 
   it anyway.  George doesn't like Dopefish.
*** FDS (~FDS@duluth-dial-25.uslink.net) has left #DUKE3D
<HanK_HiLL> George should do a voice in one of his games!
<PantherX> It's the guy from the Gung-Ho movie
<D_Nukem> Joe: Dopefish is being replaced by Duke Nukem...
<HanK_HiLL> That'd be COOL!
<Dopefish> George did do a voice.  Ever play Rise of the Triad?  He did the 
   voice for his own character.
<D_Nukem> Hank: Joe here did the Duke Nukem voice for Duke Nukem II.
*** threader (steve_s2@knx-tn1-14.ix.netcom.com) has joined #duke3d
<Dopefish> The one that threw hand grenades at you.
<HanK_HiLL> Cool
<D_Nukem> Joe: The "Here, catch!" ? :)
<Dopefish> Panther->  Pardon?  
<Dopefish> "I'm Back"
<Poe> ROTT Rocked
<PantherX> What is Dopefish?
<Dopefish> Run the intro for Duke Nukem II, and you hear my contribution to Duke 
   Nukem.  :)
<bwernicke> A high fish ... ;)
<Dopefish> Lon: Yeah, that's George.
<Dopefish> http://www.apogee1.com/dopefish.html
<PantherX> Well it's a game, right?
<Dopefish> No, Dopefish is not a game.  It's a character from Commander Keen IV.
<PantherX> Dopefish is a game I assume?
<D_Nukem> Dopefish is in a game, well, many games.
<PantherX> ok
<Dopefish> Go look at that URL, and all will be explained.
<Dopefish> I also did the voice for Dopefish in his game appearances other than 
   in Commander Keen.
<Dopefish> Of course that was just burping.  :)
<Dopefish> I also did the voice for my own character in Rise of the Triad.
<D_Nukem> And Joe Siegler here is the Dopefish know-it-all of Apogee.
<Poe> Crystal Cave rocked too
<bwernicke> Hey Joe... elitegames.com is rapidly approacing 2 million downloads 
   of duke files since Sept 14, 1996.
<Dopefish> Before I got my job with Apogee, I bought Crystal Caves myself!
*** Zaphod| has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Dopefish> I'm actually in our own database.
<Dopefish> Brad: Wait till Shadow Warrior.  :)
<bwernicke> Yah, no kidding

<froggy> hey all ne advice on setting up a network?
*** _sPiCkEt_ (monkey@dal-tx11-43.ix.netcom.com) has joined #duke3d
<_sPiCkEt_> Has Cerebris been on tonight
<D_Nukem> froggy: I know there is a Network in a Box that you can buy...simple 
  and easy.
<froggy> it is a ethernet network...schools
*** PrySyAWAY is now known as PreySpy
<froggy> ne advice on drivers etc.
<Dopefish> You know, it's only one more character to actually type "any".
<D_Nukem> Joe: Anyone e-mail you about LameDuke tech support yet?
<_sPiCkEt_> Hehehe, yeah
<Dopefish> A couple.  Less than 6.
<Dopefish> No, Pinball Wizards has nothing to do with the Who song.  (Send 'em 
   public)
<Dopefish> I've had a few asking about the file_id.diz.  I'll answer that.
*** POOLMAN (dheaton@206.165.56.218) has joined #duke3d
<Dopefish> I also asked id Software about possibly releasing a LameWolf for the 
   5 year anniversary, but they weren't interested in it.
<Dopefish> I have several Wolf betas lying around, too.
<Dopefish> It's also the 5 year anniversary of Cosmo this month, but I don't 
   think anyone would care.  :)
<D_Nukem> Wolf3D is getting up there is years 
*** Garrp (~garyp@dlp27.spring.eri.net) has joined #duke3d
<bwernicke> hahaha
<PreySpy> Happy anniversary
<D_Nukem> Joe: Do you have all the release dates memorized? :)
<Dopefish> May 5, 1992 was the release of v1.0 shareware for Wolfenstein 3D.
<Dopefish> I have some of the more significant ones commited to memory, yes.
<PantherX> Very Cool Dopefish rocks
<Dopefish> Myself and Sam Stoddard put together a list of all the release dates 
   for everything (and all the revisions).
<Dopefish> Check the Apogee FAQ.
*** POOLMAN (dheaton@206.165.56.218) has left #duke3d
<PreySpy> Can any you ask George what the specs. were on the Computer 
   (CPU,RAM,ect.ect.) that he used to get the FPS on the 3Dfx Card at 640x480 
   with Prey the next time hes here ?
<PantherX> I added the page to my bookmarks.  That midi is cool!
<D_Nukem> Joe: Yes, I saw that, pretty useful to see the order of the games 
  exactly.
<Dopefish> If you want more cool music, go to http://www.bpmusic.com.  That's 
   Bobby Prince's Home page, and he did a *TON* of music for Apogee & id.
<PantherX> Coolness.  Thanks
<PreySpy> Oops

<Dopefish> Prey-> If I had to guess, it's around a P200.  We're all Intel here, 
   as far as I know.
<Dopefish> As for the rest of it, I have no clue, you'd have to ask GB.
<_sPiCkEt_> Dopefish:  Are you for 3dRealms?
<MoNaRcH> hey anyone here ever used WAD2MAP.. it came with the DUKE3D CD
<PreySpy> Hmmm thanx for the Info Dopefish !
<D_Nukem> Dopefish is Joe Siegler, Online Support Manager for Apogee
<Dopefish> and 3D Realms.  :)
<D_Nukem> And Pinball Wizards!
<_sPiCkEt_> Cool
<MoNaRcH> anyone ever used wad2map
<MoNaRcH> please help
<Dopefish> http://www.apogee1.com/graphics/siegler.jpg
<MoNaRcH> I need to know how to get wad2map to work
<D_Nukem> Joe: I saw that you have some kind of a Duke Nukem 4 page up at the 
  site.
<MoNaRcH> anyone please!!!
<D_Nukem> Joe: And I also saw that you changed your picture :)
<Dopefish> Did you actually go to it and see what it said?
<Poe> DopeFish: what language(s) was Duke3d written in?
<Dopefish> C++ mainly.
<D_Nukem> Duke3D was 95% C
<froggy> here is the deal.  School got four 486dx266 with 8 meg and ethernet 
   cards...
<Dopefish> Yeah, the old picture of me (the URL I just sent) was godawful.
*** Terminatr (~jfsmith@ts5l11.mediom.qc.ca) has joined #duke3d

<_sPiCkEt_> I play the Trombone
<Dopefish> Monarch, I don't know how to use Wad2Map.  Even if I did, I couldn't

<Dopefish> Terminator-> Buy the game.  It's on there.
<MoNaRcH> yeah yeah
<D_Nukem> Joe: You just have a blank page for Duke4.  I have the only Duke4 and 
  Duke5 pages with something real on them that I know of.
<D_Nukem> Joe: How many e-mails a day do you get from people asking for Build?
<Terminatr> dopefish i have a pirate copy
<Dopefish> Lon: Right.  That's all the info we're giving away for now.
<Terminatr> do you have the level editor of duke3d
<Dopefish> Terminator-> Pirates are scum.

<MattCake> Got a scratch on his CD? ;)
<Dopefish> Nobody has it for you.  Be cool and don't steal our software.
<bwernicke> Joe, that is the most common email msg that I receive
<D_Nukem> CD Broken, they come up with a better excuse than that. Dog ate CD, CD 
  in safe desposit box at bank, Lost the CD.
<NukeDukem> oh no , I dipped My CD in CHocalate again.. CAN I HAVE BUILD??
<MoNaRcH> Dope: who do I contact to figure Wad2Map out?!?
<bwernicke> Terminatr, Dopefish works for 3D Realms...
*** HanK_HiLL (Guy@pool-30.tfb.com) has joined #duke3d
<_sPiCkEt_> Used it as a coaster
<Dopefish> We get those all the time.  We'll replace 'em if the person is in our 
   database *AND* pays the replacement fee.
<HanK_HiLL> Dope, Do you know what to expect from Blood?
<Dopefish> Monarch: http://www.3drealms.com/catalog/duke3d/dukwwww.htm
<Terminatr> i dont under stand
<Dopefish> Blood is not our game.
<bwernicke> Terminatr, Build comes on the Duke CD
<MoNaRcH> what will that do
<bwernicke> If you have the CD you have Build
<Dopefish> My favourite is the one where the person says they copied the full 
   version "from their friend's CD" and forgot to copy Build, and wanted to know 
   if we'd send it to them.
<bwernicke> If you dont have the CD, you are pirating the software
<HanK_HiLL> Dope, You had it for a while though, right?
<Terminatr> I HAVE NOT CD
<NukeDukem> BUY THEIR PROCUCT
<PreySpy> Hahahahaha 
<PreySpy> Do way 
<Dopefish> Hank, yes, but it's not our game now.  You'll have to talk to the 
   people putting it out if you want game info on it.
<PreySpy> No way

   this sooooooooo obvious excuse which has been used 100000 times
<D_Nukem> Joe: I like the one where someone said that his CD was in a safe 
  desposit box at bank, so it would be protected.
