The matrix mod is awesome? Umm, sorry, but it is NOT awesome, it only became good when I tweaked it by making the ground and blocks matrix-style, added matrix symbol snow, and made the sky black. sorry, but matrix clothing and matrix fire and greenish (I think) smoke and nothing else isn't really t...

What is the point of this thread now? Lugaru is out for Linux now...

You do realise that it has to be 16(?) FPS before the human eye sees it as a moving picture so that would be constant lag. 30fps I think, google it :P theblob is correct... Cartoons are typically below 20 FPS. Movies in the theater are 24 - 25 FPS. Analog TV is a hair under 30 FPS. HDTV is 60 FPS. ...

Maybe, but I sure hope you can!

I get segfaults on older 3D games that aren't compiled for newer libraries. Perhaps that's the problem here?

It's probably either the video card drivers or bad ram. ATI is known for crappy drivers. I currently have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 and I run Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Breezy Badger, so I know how crappy they are. In fact, when I was helping to beta test Lugaru, I came across this issue: https://bugzilla.i...

I have a terrible computer-I just turn everything down and voila! A nice 5-10 FPS is good enough for anybody. Although I'm sure you're just being a smart-ass, if you look again at my post you'll see that I typed "<5 FPS" which means less-than 5 FPS. If you weren't just being a smart-ass, ...

Why is DOS even on there? DOS was decent for its time. There were some good games on DOS. DOOM 1 & 2, Heretic, Hexen, Quake (first one), Descent series, Syndicate, SimCity, Abuse, etc., etc. A lot of things are the way they are today because of DOS, both good and bad... The modern consumer-avai...

I just beat Lugaru on Insane mode and found a very simple and effective way to defeat wolves if you have a sword... Might work even without the sword, but I had one. :) Lure them out so you can fight one-on-one, then just jump and flip over their head a few times to confuse them, then time a jump to...

Hi, I recently re-installed Windows XP Pro and the first game I installed was Lugaru (mostly because I wanted to test OpenGL and EA's Battlefield games, the only other games I play in Windows, are huge). After testing OpenGL with a couple rounds of Lugaru, I went on and installed more stuff and forg...

will it run on zeta, AKA BeOS R6? It should be easy to port it. This game could turn into the biggest, best game for all OSes! :D :shock: :D I talked with Eugenia Loli-Query (she used to work on the BeOS team and started OSNews.com) about the possibility of porting Lugaru to BeOS. She said it would...

I didn't do anything scientific, but I did observe that Lugaru seems to run a lot quicker and smoother in Linux.

Totally sweet!

That right there will score you many customers.

[W]ho ported [Lugaru to Linux]? (thats probably a dumb question but I don't look at this thread much) Ryan C Gordon @ icculus.org That dude is a wizard. He had it running in a couple days, but the beta test went on for a couple/few weeks because there were a few minor bugs. One bug that I reported ...

Oh and when are the ports for Zeta/Be, Amiga, Atari 2600, Collecovision, Ti99-4A and Intellivision coming out? Oh let's not forget the GNU hurd, Open BSD, FreeDOS, PPC Linux, Timex Sinclair, TI scientific calculators, Sega Genesis, SNK Pocket, Neo Geo, Multics, Apple Lisa, Openstep, Solaris, Xenix,...

If all of those APIs really exist in full for BeOS, then yeah, it should be doable. I have a feeling there will be many complications. If you know a BeOS developer who is comfortable with FMOD, OpenGL, and Quicktime, and is willing to work for a percentage of the profits, then by all means, let us ...
