Breaking the almost eerie New Year's silence,
The Kung Fu Grip
on Unreal Universe is an interview with Alex "Cybermind" Redman of
ZenTao Interactive about their
upcoming Extreme Wing Chun VR, a Kung Fu simulator that will use the Unreal
engine to show you how to wax and wax off with the best of them, even when Mr.
Miyagi is unavailable.
The tireless Brandon "GreenMarine" Reinhart made another
update
to his .plan with word on the release of the OpenSource stuff for Unreal
Tournament that should facilitate extended mods. Here's the poop:
Well, I
was hoping for a nuclear blast or something. Boooring.
I've released the open source archive at the sourceforge page. You can get there
from openut.sourceforge.net.
The file is available in tar/gz and zip formats. The archive includes stuff for
win32 and Linux. All of the public engine headers are included, so you can start
working on extended mods and stuff.
Feel free to participate in the message boards and bug tracking system on the
Source Forge page.
The next task is to get CVS up and running, but I'll probably put that off to
the side for a few days and do some work on my other projects.
I've got a huge list of crap to do for the next UT patch.
Now that's a slow morning, when there's but one bit:
More fun with fun names as the
Game Name Builder Official Homepage
has a new version 1.82 of this program that can add colored and/or animated
player names to Quake (1), QuakeWorld, Quake II, Hexen II, HexenWorld, NetStorm,
and any other game which uses ASCII characters. The new version adds support for
Quake III Arena and the Q3A Demo.
Happy New Year everybody. Obviously enough, the world has not been destroyed by
some glitch, but Y2K references seem so 1990s anyway don't they? If you actually
keep track of these things you know that the Friday night/Saturday morning
update is usually handled by loonyboi, which would make this a Fruit of the
Loon, but the loonster is out partying like it's some sort of Prince song, so
I'll be your designated driver this morning... I'll try to take it easy on the
horn for those of you with hangovers. Let me take the opportunity of the first
update of the year and/or millennium/century/decade (or not, depending on your
interpretation of these things--many say the century and millennium won't turn
for another year) to thank all of you for another year of incredible support. I
know I speak for loony and Frans in saying we can't thank you enough. So there.
Happy New Year!

I wonder if it was TV that influenced them... Bewitched perhaps. Thanks Jacek
