(there's also a teeny game made in gamemaker in there)

messed with FPSC (still have it loaded, uman is over there now)... messed with trying to do a conversion for Quake 3 (3375 files to redo seemed a bit steep)... then after getting Q3 to work on Vista (my laptop) I decided to give RF a try again and WHOOPEE! works when you get the right drivers... so ...

@vrage here's the pertinent quote: Make sure you have all the latest drivers for you laptop that are made for Vista. In addition, make sure you have all the latest patches for Vista. DirectX 10 is not the culprit here. DX10 is not used in Genesis therefore it cannot be the culprit. I'm betting that ...

felt almost as good getting RF back as getting over the gastro flu, you really don't know how TOUGH getting stuff into some other game engines really is... SHOULD have some links to the games I made in RF up and running sometime soon (these will be free)... Oldtimers will remember Bad Medicine and m...

I'm back too! Glad to throu out all those other engines now, almost gave up on RF till I updated my vid drivers according to this post and NOW I got game again...

Its a flipbook bitmap. Scanned from my extensive collection of old engravings by Dover Publishing. It also rotates slowly... This bitmap approach might make some interesting filmy walls and curtains to walk through if I can get them to face just one way. Its not real obvious in the screenshot but it...

generated this level after viewing "mirrormask" (find it at the video store, a movie made by Neil Gaiman and David McKean)... no game idea on this yet, just taking a walk someplace...

it was my monitor, someone had moved the screen's horiz position... DU

all my screens in RF cut off on the left edge; so there's a portion of the HUD and sometimes messages that are cut off and can't be read... it looks like the whole screen is shifted too far one way... any clues? (or better yet, any FIXES) Marty ps. maybe its my card or something because the screensh...

this bugged me all weekend, I couldn't figure out tga's and transparency on actors so I could put an embryo in an egg sac. FINALLY got it figured out! just had to use the tga2gebump with the latest release of genesis! so here's the biolab with some very grumpy alien babies...

for your viewing pleasure, I was going to use actors for the boats but world geometry worked almost as well (no funky clipping either with the bounding box...)

darn forum said I was inactive too long, got it all straightened out...

he thanks for the update on the Nazi saucers having 4 legs, the game is about the Nazi regime surviving in Antarctica (rumor has it they sent everybody down there and Hitler DIDN'T die)...

here's one of the enemies:

screenshot of a nazi saucer on the ground, this is based on the VERY wild unpublished diary of Richard Byrd... got a whole nest of these baddies down there it seems, look up Operation Highjump... I need one without the landing gear and one with a Panzer turret mounted underneath...

Loaded it up on the Macs at school and it works like a charm. Slightly less cluttered interface than Dreamweaver. I love it for messing with CSS and just going back and forth on new pages with.

No kiddin'! Just got done with FEMA, insurance adjusters (my dog actually BIT the insurance guy, YIKES). We evacuated from Rita, tore up all around us something fierce, might have to post some pictures of all the trees knocked down...
