Pretty snazzy. I've been through three iterations of this board now (I joined when it was on, I believe, phpBB), and this is likely the best one yet.

I found this place way back in 2005 by way of my friend Andy. I met him in a SRB2 netgame, we had begun chatting regularly in an instant messenger (I forget if it was MSN or Yahoo), and he told me something along the line of "did you know there's a forum?" I feel old.

I don't come around here often, so I had no idea this upgrade was going to happen. Imagine my shock when I came back and the forum looked like this. I like it. Welcome to a new age, SRB2 forums.

The unfortunate truth is that in order to grow a piece of software, sometimes you have to stop supporting older hardware and software APIs. Carry on toward the future, SRB2 devs.

Regardless of pallet shenanigans, as a programmer with limited graphics programming experience, I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to optimize the OpenGL mode. I'm just glad someone's doing it.

Video games can certainly teach about concepts you normally wouldn't think about. As a random example, I learned a lot about objectivism by way of Bioshock. The game itself doesn't really go out of it's way to teach you about it, but you get the idea when you pay attention to dialogues from...

In this case, compiling is the process of converting the source code (written in mostly C), into binary code that a computer can read, using a specialized program called a compiler. Anyone with knowledge of XCode and little research on CMake could compile an OSX version.

Not exactly sure what you're asking for either. Ken Silvermans' Build engine was similar to the Doom engine, except it used portals for rendering instead of precompiled BSPs, thus allowing for things like movable geometry.

Is there a way to download the assets (srb2.srb, etc.) without having to run the installer? This seems to be one of the main issues to running it on linux.

Does SD2 work with FreeDoom?

The same reason there's ports of Doom for everything with a screen and a processor. It's neat, and just the fact that it's possible to do, due to the GPL'd source code.

Assuming Doom Legacy is only under the GPL, you could make commercial games with it, however you'd still have to release the source code. ZDoom, on the other hand, contains code from the Build engine and FMOD and is overall a mess in terms of licensing.

Stealth worked on SRB2 at one point, didn't he? What happened with that?

Here are my machine's stats. I haven't read this thread at all, so sorry for repeats of information Works great. The mouse feels more responsive, but the sensitivity is much slower. Game runs much better than srb2win does in software mode. Speed is basically on par with OpenGL mode. I will try...

CD music in a game made sense in the days of Quake, but not really anymore. I say remove it.

Hmm, interesting. Why does SRB2 need to write a file for this information, anyway? Instead of, say, storing it in a memory location.

I'm mostly a lurker as well. I've been here since 2005? Man it's been a long time. I know it's a long shot, but anyone know what happened to Andy?

Oh man, I still have these print outs in a jewel case with the burned CD. It was definitely version 1.08. Thanks for the nostalgia guys.

I have an aunt living in Rhode Island. No word from her yet, as far as I know.

Honestly at that point it may as well be a whole new game. I see why people suggest moving to another Doom port instead of an different engine altogether (it keeps things mostly similar). I honestly believe that if SRB2 did switch engines (which would set the game back considerably), another...
