	In Response To: Re: ANYONE? AIM ME RUBICON OS X?!? (C Lund) : Well, since you're asking... : Scott (the *other* guy in the original Rubicon), Jay (the guy supposed to : update the textures), Mark (the guy supposed to customize AO for Rubicon) : have all been claimed by Real Life issues (really busy at work, AFAIK). : That means I'm pretty much the only one left working on RX - plus Steve. : If the only work left on RX was the levels, story, and terminals, I'd be : chugging away at a steady pace and RX would almost certainly be ready at : the end of this summer. However, all that is pointless since I do not have : a proper engine for RX. I am confident I am able to do the necessary : tweaking to adapt AO to RX - especially if Mark sends me his code, but : first I have to be able to compile it. So far all I get are error messages : about missing headers I can't find anywhere (and yes, I did install the : SDLs at libsdl.org - the headers still aren't there). I've signed up for : the forums at sourceforge to see if they can walk me through the : compilation process. If not, then that's it for RX. : Once I've managed to get the engine compiling and tweaked the way I want it : (assuming I really can do this), the next issue will be the textures. : Hopefully, Scott or Jay's Real Life issues will be resolved by then and : they can pitch in. If not, I'll have to muddle through the textures : myself. While I won't be able to make textures as good as theirs, I'm : still able to make textures that are better than those of the original. : The glowmaps and animations alone are a huge improvement. : So it pretty much hinges on the engine thing. If I can't find anybody willing : to walk me through the steps necessary to get AO to compile, then that's : it. There will be no RX. If I'm not able to tweak AO so it does what I : want, then that's also it (I'm pretty confident I can do this though - : even though AO is Carbon) - which would be a shame, because I'm really : quite happy with the way the levels have turned out. Both the old, updated : ones and the completely new ones. And Scott really outdid himself with the : textures before he got bogged down at work. : But if I get AO to compile and manage to work out a routine for handling the : textures by myself, then RX should be out some time this fall. If Scott : and/or Jay take care of the textures, then it'll probably be this summer. : Those "deadlines" are mere estimates, BTW, and I'll break 'em if : I feel like it. ;) : To those of you who are thinking about playing Rubicon AO... you're better : off playing the original Rubicon based on the Infinity version. The AO : version of Rubicon was an afterthought and it shows. The "AO : light" version introduced several new bugs and bad visuals that : weren't present in the Infinity version (the "shooting slave" : bug being one of the more hair-raising ones). Actually, what you describe is that exact reason I'm not doing any development work on AlephOne. My issue manifests itself in the sdl_image library, but I'm sure that the problem is deeper than that if the compiler would get farther along in the process. Kinda frustrating. Anyway, if you ever find a well of knowledge on the subject, spread the wealth. I'd certainly appreciate it. :)
