>quaterstaff

Wow, cool. Loving the melee weapons.

Downloading the update now.

>>1805

What about spring? There are a few others I can think of but spring is probably best.

postal plus

I really need to find a murder themed libre game.

>>1092

Fight-fag, here.

You have NO idea. But Skullgirls is on Linux and I've got a shitton of emulators, so I'm more lucky.

>>1237

>"Tetris Attack"

Panel de Pon. Please. It will be less confusing.

Also, isn't Nullpomino libre? Why it isn't on that list? Best Tetris clone ever. Better than a lot of official Tetris games.

>>1847

Panel de Pon is just as confusing to be honest. Just say "Puzzle League", it's been an official part of multiple English titles in the series at this point.

>>1837

Fucking YES again! They have approved Ryan!

http://www.croteam.com/4443-2/

>>1844

I don't know if anyone here ever played ryans port before but you should be warned it was full of bugs. I played it back in 2004 IIRC and it was nearly unplayable. To this day I still haven't completed the game. It's good news his source is getting released but there is going to be a lot of work before this is playable.

>>1848

>ryan port is full of bugs

geeh whiz I wonder why

>>1849

Well I wouldn't say rayns' work is generally of poor quality. I have enjoyed all his ports since loki went and they are generally on par with the studio release on other platforms.

In what aspect? You mean like UT99? Or the actual single player Unreal1?

I used to be a big fan of the unreal series before I made a fully free switch. There are no libre remakes nor any libre attempts at cloning the unreal experience. I think doom3 and openjk might give you what you are after though.

>>1825

Yeah I mean the original Unreal 1, that's why I posted pic of it, to clarify it a bit.

For UT99 it seems the closet libre game out there is Xonotic but it doesn't has coop function from what I know.

inb4 bots

Coop maps are different and mostly based on SP maps.

>doom3

Yeah I've seen there is this http://www.iodoom3.org/news/ but it doesn't seem that anybody is developing on it anymore.

>OpenJK

mhm does it still have a forum at all? Because when I tired to search for I could only find a build page and the Github one, a few references to forums sites but none of them works at all.

https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3

https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

I can't seem to access jkhub right now. I can't imagine it will be down for long.

I have not played sp coop with either of these though. That game mode tends to be on consoles rather than over networks. Still though, it should be possible.

>>1101

The nearest-neighbor one is the exact same thing only bigger. The rest are only a departure because of the disgusting filter you used.

>>1006

Agreed. War, even on the individual scale, is decided more by your ability to provide for contingencies than your ability to plan and execute cunning tactics. Strict determinism is for puzzle games. Wesnoth's big problem in single-player isn't its randomness, but the difficulty (especially for novice mappers) of balancing multi-map campaigns against snowballing resource accumulation.

>>1074

Polygonal 3D would be a hardware-crushing abomination for a 2D turn-based game like this. Just draw all assets at extremely high resolution (or in some sort of natural media, and scan,) then allow people to download whatever sprite set they want. Either way, like the flawless pixel-art style has to be ditched to go higher.

If there's anything major the game really needs, it's a ground-up rewrite of the graphical subsystem to be more stable, efficient, and scalable. RAM requirements are absurdly excessive on cellphones, and wildly fluctuating CPU requirements can cause even PCs to chug or glitch at times if you're doing something else in the background. Think of something like StarCraft, which did hundreds of 8-bit sprites with multiple levels of alpha at 640x480, all buttery smooth in software on a Pentium with 16MB RAM.

>>1087

>>1044

You folks DO know the game has had a nearest neighbor zoom function (default keys "+" "-" & "0" in addition to a conspicuous magnifying glass icon next to the minimap) since the very first version, right? I guess they could add more GUI sizes, scalers, and some sort of automatic HiDPI detection to zoom by default.

>>856

I played the fuck out of this game. Its great.

>>1813

I would argue that intelligence and understanding the tactics of your enemy and how to outsmart them are more important. The real problem with this argument though is that we're talking about a game here. War in real life may be decided by random factors but there's no reason to play it up so much in an actual game. It doesn't make it more fun; it makes it frustrating and makes it particularly unrewarding to put a lot of thought into planning ahead. Instead the planning becomes more a matter of playing in as safe and passive a manner as possible. Imagine if you were playing a game of chess and your queen could randomly fail in capturing a pawn and instead be defeated. It just isn't needed to make a competent game of strategy.

>>432

i know this thread is ancient and all the posts are months old but i'd like to make somethings clear, proprietary assets are a different issue than proprietary software.

also there are GPL-compliant variants of GZDoom available, like GLOOME and GZDoom-GPL

http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=48994

http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=49451

also keep in mind buying Doom nowadays gives all the money to Bethesda and nobody who actually made the game.

>>1676

WTF, why have I not heard of these before? Thank you!

Now I can play the cool wads, like pol.wad and the xxx mod.

Zandronum is a fork of skulltag licensed under a modified sleepycat license. It's very compatible with zdoom and assuming a mod doesn't require the latest version, it should work with zandronum.

>>1719

Cool stuff, I'll take a look. Thanks.

Paranoia 2 uses the Xash3D engine which is a goldsrc clone, but the people who made Paranoia 2 did not provide source code with their binary iirc. Xash3D is GPLv3 by the way, so i'm pretty sure they are required to do that.

http://www.moddb.com/games/paranoia-2-savior

same deal for Paranoia 1 apparently. they re-released it on Xash3D and they seem to only provide an executable.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/paranoia

maybe someone could tell them how to make their projects comply with the GPL?

>>1719

>Be advised that this project is not sanctioned by GSC Game World in any way – and they remain the copyright holders of all the original source code.

>All source code included with this distribution, unless declared otherwise,

is commercial GSC Game World proprietary code.

>>1728

Technically they only have to provide source code upon request. In addition, if it's just the engine, then it's not their code so they can just refer back to the original project, although yes the onus is on them to provide source when they distribute any gpl binary.

>>1728

Excellent research btw.

>>1719

Oh my fuck

is this 9/11 simulator

>>1801

That would be a great game, where the aim is to crash the plane with no survivors. There's 9/11, ww2 kamikaze, the meme guy, etc.

Are there any working 8chan based servers?

If there's still any interest or existence on this board, I can host a server.

>>1797

yes

>>1797

I guess there is, but I wouldn't mind sticking to some modpack.

On an unrelated note, is there any interest in developing mods for Minetest? I wouldn't mind contributing.

>>663

WHAT IS SUDO?

>>812

i have no idea. i'm not used to not using windows

This game just feels so unintuitive to me after playing so much Civilization IV.

>>820

Same guy responding. Now I know what sudo is :^)

I never downloaded the source code when I made this thread, and I never knew that. I had assumed that when I downloaded something off of "Add/Remove Applications" that source code and everything needed came with the game rather than just the binaries

>>1761

It has nothing to do with source.

I'm not sure what game this is or what you're trying to accomplish, but most package managers don't bother compiling from source.

Open a terminal and type "sudo gimp", you'll be able to use Gimp in root mode.

If sudo is not found, replace it with "su -c gimp"

tfw no one replied

But where's the IP, OP?

>>1760

Well the IP is in the minetest thread. I also posted it around the boards and on IRC. No one wants to play with me so I am retiring the server soon. I might put it to better use, like an lv repo or something. Who knows.

hey OP you got a list of stuff you currently are "serving" atm?

>>1775

Wait a sec, is this actually libre?

>>1776

>At the moment, RedAlert++is being developed in private so we can ensure the basic engine works as required. Once we are happy with the state of the engine, we will release a public build and also create a public repository on GitHub.

>>1771

Damn, thats fucking retarded.

>>1772

>>1778

Yeah, I wish the developers would have just told them off. It would be nice to have an accurate reproduction of the original games available for the engine, but instead the purists at CNCNet are stuck on the original engine despite OpenRA being clearly superior for online play.

>>1595

Nice anon

>>1283

I gotta admit that the BGM are pretty based, love it.

>Steam Workshop

EVEN IN FO FUCKING SS

DRM LOCKED MODDING

>>1767

>Which distro would you recommend for libre gaming?

Devuan

Devuan.org

>>1746

Devaun is not completely libre I thought. It has a Debian base, meaning the main repo is libre but the kernel is not Linux-libre. Or am I wrong?

>Devaun is not completely libre I thought. It has a Debian base, meaning the main repo is libre but the kernel is not Linux-libre. Or am I wrong?

Neither is debian kernel, nor is the linux kernel, they all have accepted "we need this proprietary blob code IN TREE that can do anything". Which is why when you go to china the entire contents of your ram and often any fast storage you have in any powered on device can be sucked out remotely.

There is no security for us pleabs.

I think Devuan just uses what debian does, thus the kernel+kernel-blobs pkgs.

>>1748

I don't think debian kernel has blobs, it's a clean base system. All proprietary drivers are offered as separate modules in the non-free repo. As to what Devuan does, I don't know.

>>1747

It includes the non-free and contrib sections from Debian, so not as libre yet.
