Ok, over on streetrod3.com I put up some adsense ads. I'm not looking to profit, I just hope that I can eventually make enough so that it breaks even. That's all. Just to pay for itself. If I was in it for the money, I wouldn't have GPL'ed the code.[ 1 comment ] ( 22 views ) | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | related link |

Yes, Streetrod3.com has risen from the grave. After much time, finagling, hassle, and personal expense, I've wrested the domain and data from others, and begun to restore things. Eventual plan is to totally redo the site, but, as things stand, better to have the old site up, rather than a squatter's page.
What does this mean about the project? Well, contrary to popular belief, it was never officially canceled (Unless you count the brother of the webmaster as someone who has that authority). That posting on the website was made without the prior knowledge or consent of the SR3 devteam. In fact, we were in the middle of prepping a new release at the time. Unfortunately, all it served to do, was piss off the devteam and make most of them quit. As things stand now, I'm the only devteam member left. What I would like to do is start recruiting some programmers (Sorry modelers, we need to get some coding done first), and begin work again. I have a few bits of code I want to add to the code base, but most of the changes that was made for the release being worked on at the time of shit hitting the fan has been lost in a drive crash. That included work on tools to make new tracks.
Still, all is not lost. We have the code from the last release, we have the site again, so, we can pickup and carry on.

London, zis is nighthawk, can you 'ear me?Yeah I know that I've not posted much lately.
New things that have happened.
First up, last week I switched SR3 over from CVS to SVN at Source Forge. Reason for this is because CVS was a pain in the ass, and was constantly having server issues where it was down. Not good. Also on SR3, we've had some people helping out. one guy is working on a plugin to export from blender. Yay! Also, another guy has been helping improve stuff with OpenGL, by adding in things such as Antialaising. Plus, hopefully, next release will include versions for OSX and Linux as well, instead of just telling people its possible and having them roll their own.
For gaming, I played and beat Final fantasy Mystic Quest. Was a really short game, I beat it in the last two evenings, but besides that it was fun and I really dont know why people rag on it so much. Also, another reason to lust for the Wii: Sengoku Action. For those not familiar with it, since its received extremely little press, its a branch of the Koei series Dynasty Warriors, based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but looks to be set in Japan during the same period. Still, running around, killing tons of people with swords is fun!
Well, massive storm is coming through, probably will lose power and such, so I'll be going. Talk later.

Not too terribly much going on here. Getting SR3 moved over to a SVN setup instead of CVS. Hope to get it up soon, just been busy. Ran into some issues with Sourceforge's scripts. Also been practicing my pinstriping a bit still, having fun. Got my '50 running, and hope to get it on the road soon. Will report back later with some thoughts on shit.[ add comment ] | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | related link |

Just talked to Shplorb, and got all the source for the Max plugins, as well as a few other nifty things. Basically, hope is to update them to the new version of the aux format. Also, hope to use something he gave me to figure out how the tracks are made (without reverse engineering the SR3 track code).[ add comment ] | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | related link |
