    How to switch of Asteroids?

    Ah. That makes alot of sense. I hope to get to playing PR 1.1 later on today - I've already got the basic 64bit file system intact. It's just a matter of polishing my toolchain one last time, making sure I got rid of an NPTL bug and switching over. After all this cross compiling, building...

    How to switch of Asteroids?

    Just a random query - I have been told that using quaternionic math is very good for dealing with orientation, position, rotation and rotational orientation. Are you using them in your 'roid mathematics? If not, it might help. My favorite way to do it has always been to just use an x,y,z grid...

    You know you've been playing to much privateer when...

    You switch to a 64bit kernel just to see if it makes your shiney new AMD64 run faster - because higher frame rates are nice, even if they're far beyond what your monitor can ever hope to show you. And then you realize that a 32bit GUI won't run a 64bit video card driver - and that's bad. So you...

    Privateer Remake 1.1 README

    Argh! You just had to throw in "If you want to be the first" haha. I may well try it, after I get a 64bit-pure version of PR1.1

    Lots of websites, Lots of forums

    I've noted that the website is now updated. However, clicking on the forums link from priv.solsector.net now sends me to a pr 1.1 forum on vegastrike, when it has sent me here in the past, and it does it in a frame. Is this intentional, or accidental?

    I'd have to agree with him on that. I had to break your chain of links and fiddle around in order to get the release from sourceforge. I didn't assume that everyone else but us linux/open source people would have current links. This would also be why I tried to convince a guy to let me test...

    Yeah - I got the 1.1 version and have viewed it in both a native PDF viewer and in a converted format. I havn't read the 1.0 version yet. I probably won't. I'm having an absolute blast with manned turrets - the only thing that ever bugged me in the game. Everyone elses turrets could fire while...

    Heh That presumes I'm running some version or other of Windows, which I am not. I don't get a link to privateer in any of my menus; I run it from console by hand, just like almost everything else. Yes, I know it's a strange way of doing it, but it's how I am most comfortable. :) While...

    Same Tale I have much the same tale to tell. I have for /years/ wondered "What happened next?" in Privateer. You see, with open ended games, I don't exactly advance the story very quickly; I have too much fun blowing things up. Then came college. Then my computer wouldn't play it. Then I had...
