#1. TWF Opinion Polls#
There has only been only poll held this month which asked the question:
"What is your favourite type of game ?".
This was split into 10 different game types with the top 2 choices being
RPGs and Space Sims with the votes of 37 and 33 respectively. Well no
surprise you're all wanting a good space sim. :)
A new poll will appear soon.
#2. Explorer 2260 Update.#
Here are a few of the things that have been done for Explorer 2260 in
November:
- RedHat 6 (LinuxPPC 3Q99) has been installed and, while lots of setup
work
still needs to be finished, work on the Linux server core routines is
continuing.
- More background documents for the CEG are being created.
#3. Maim & Mangle Update.#
Work is continuing on M&M and here is what has happened in November on
development.
- (temporary) removed the obj's shadow due a few bugs.
- Optimized the 3D math routines.
- The collision routine now working perfectly (in the sense that it
recognize a collision situation.)
- Removed a lot of bugs.
- The loading routines are now a little bit faster.
- New Warp3D supporting Object Editor for 68k (PPC version coming soon).
- Further M&M game design thrashed out.
#4. Next News Update#
31st December 1999 / 1st January 2000 (Wahey!!) Or maybe /slightly/ later in
the new year. :)
~~~~~
All the best,
Ed.

Installer v3.1, v3.5, ...NG, New... (get a script first!)
Currently more and more news are read about different Installer programs. Not only
OS3.5 has finally brought an update to the old C= Installer, "the others" are active,
too.
But to be honest, it's not about looking better and having more
features, but who is most compatible and handles script errors best.
It's because the scripts are the weak spot, not the Installer. Installer
is much more capable than most people are aware of. Well, I am right now facing the
task of writing such a script myself, and so I came up with the idea to create a
library with functions. After some talks with several people, it changed into something
completely different, an Installer Script Maker. Right now in beta demo v0.1 (0.2 in the
pipe), it should quickly turn into an Installer make system. The whole thing is an Installer
script itself. This means that someone wanting to write a script will simply have to
start the Installer, edit the basic rules and wait. Of course some little C programs
are running in the background to simplify things.
The complete system
will be expandable on a modular layer, create scripts as uniform as possible (created
from ready modules) which will be protected against errors as good as possible with
growing usage and experience.
I hope this will finally bring us error
tolerant installations handled in a uniform manner. Extras like backing up system files
before overwrite, or ready translations of standard functions in as many languages as
possible will be only a small step from there.
If you want to see how
the first attempts looked like (no longer up-to-date), I posted the beta 0.1 on my
homepage. The documentation is English for now, so a maximum number of people understand
it.
I'd like to see this as basis for discussions of all interested.
And now I have enough work putting the file lists in the interactive script...
