UnrealEngine3: Work officially begins. Time to get this building under gcc again. Since we changed up the source tree layout, the Makefiles from UE2 are basically useless. Rather than rewrite them, I'm going to spend some time exploring SCons, which came highly recommended by TTimo, the Doom3/linux guy. First Unreal steals their colored lighting, then their build system! :) Obviously, there's a lot to be done at this point, but best to start now so I'm not scrambling to port a whole engine when UE3 games get closer to shipping. Updates as I have them. ShadowOps: Red Mercury: ShadowOps, an UnrealEngine2-based game, just hit shelves on the 21st. It's the first game to ship a Win64 binary in the retail box (compliments of, well, me). Spider-Man 2: In stores now! MojoPatch: The installers on MacSoft's Neverwinter Nights expansion pack discs are actually a modified version of MojoPatch. Go order your copies! The UT2004 Editors' Choice Bonus Pack Patcher/Installer is a build of mojopatch, piggybacking on some fixes and enhancements originally intended for the NWN expansions. Shrek 2: Now shipping! OpenAL: I implemented ALC_EXT_capture in Apple's OpenAL, so you can use UT2004's VoIP feature with their nice surround sound. The 3323 patch didn't ship with this, since there were some crashes in their implementation (the nasty "this happens after about 90 minutes of playing" type that are a pain to track down). We'll get this sorted out and eventually ship a patch that includes this. The brave can try this build, though: http://icculus.org/~icculus/tmp/openal-voip-surround-EXPERIMENTAL.tar.bz2 Duke3D: Latest CVS builds and runs on Solaris/x86 (and presumably Solaris/sparc, too). I get a lot of questions about MacOS X: the game _does_ run on OSX, there just isn't a nice installer or anything at the moment, so you have to compile it yourself. When there's time, I'll put together a shareware-based installer, and, if I can find a copy, one that works with the Mac retail disc. UTPG: (Yes, this is still being worked on.) Unreal Tournament 2003: There's an exploit in the ut2003 network code, so here's a new build. Linux: http://0day.icculus.org/ut2003/ut2003lnx_patch2225-3-BETA.tar.bz2 MacOSX: http://0day.icculus.org/ut2003/ut2003-mac-patch-2225-3.dmg.bz2 The Linux one has about a million changes over the stock 2225, since it's got all the MacOSX work on top of it. Consider it beta. The Mac version has one or two fixes, so it's worth updating. Unreal Tournament 2004: All the different downloads were getting complicated. I've written up a summary of what files to get for what platform depending on what you're looking for (new demos, Bonus Pack stuff, Mac, Linux, etc.) http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=2192 Call of Duty: This is a 1.4 server with an exploit closed. Admins should all upgrade: http://icculus.org/betas/cod/COD-lnxded-1.4-07252004.tar.bz2 The latest and greatest United Offensive Linux server shows up here first: http://0day.icculus.org/cod/ Postal 2 Share the Pain: We're about ready to wrap up beta on the Mac version (FINALLY!). Linux one should wrap soon, too. Both groups of beta testers were totally kick ass and very thorough. America's Army: 2.1.0 is out for Linux and Mac: http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=2046 Other stuff: Why aren't you playing Gish right now? --ryan.
