07:29:11  *** Tomaz^ has joined #openDune

07:32:13  *** Tomaz has quit IRC

12:50:29  *** glx has joined #openDune

12:50:29  *** ChanServ sets mode: +o glx

12:50:47  <glx> hello

13:36:45  *** z-MaTRiX has joined #openDune

13:37:01  <z-MaTRiX> heyh

13:37:06  <z-MaTRiX> wow there is opendune?

13:38:19  <Xaroth|Work> yep

13:38:46  <z-MaTRiX> coolness

13:39:14  <z-MaTRiX> always hated the 320x240 resolution

13:39:37  <Xaroth|Work> well it's now double-res so it's technically still 320x240 :P

13:39:39  <Alberth> no worries, it is still there :)

13:52:05  <z-MaTRiX> btw why?

13:52:07  <z-MaTRiX> :)

13:52:59  <Alberth> as usual, nobody removed the limitations yet

13:53:10  <z-MaTRiX> ahaa

13:54:15  <z-MaTRiX> sounds like a little bit of coordinate transformation

13:54:34  <Alberth> huh?

13:55:02  <Alberth> if you want to really display more of the game field, scaling won't help

13:55:21  <Alberth> you really need to change the code that draws the field, etc

13:55:27  <z-MaTRiX> was meaning to display 4x playing field

13:55:59  <z-MaTRiX> given same textures and everything same

13:56:02  <Alberth> make a few new sprites ;)

13:56:39  <z-MaTRiX> is increasing graphic detail in schedule?

13:56:41  <Alberth> scaling existing sprites just makes it more ugly

13:56:49  <Xaroth|Work> added to that, if you do extend the viewport, the map suddenly becomes quite small :P

13:57:16  <Alberth> afaik there is no schedule defined, so no doubt it fits in it :D

13:57:22  <z-MaTRiX> well it can have a zoom function

13:57:28  <Alberth> it already has

13:57:48  <Alberth> hmm, perhaps in a different way than you want

13:58:18  <z-MaTRiX> the mouse scrolling zoom is coolness

13:59:03  <Alberth> it's just a useless whistle imo, you better spend your time on better game play

13:59:52  <z-MaTRiX> i'd think my computer has at least 10x speed needed

14:00:01  <Alberth> also, such features do not fit in the idea of keeping the original Dune2 feeling

14:00:26  <z-MaTRiX> the dune2 was designed for 66MHz 486 dx-4 with edo ram

14:00:28  <Alberth> games are only fun if you need all your processor power?

14:00:41  <z-MaTRiX> nope

14:00:56  <z-MaTRiX> integer zoom should not take much cpu

14:01:18  <Xaroth|Work> keep in mind tho, that the first rule of OpenDUNE

14:01:32  <Xaroth|Work> is that whatever we change on it, it HAS to remain in the spirit of Dune

14:14:30  <z-MaTRiX> added myself to usergroup `audio' wondering if i will have access to soundcards adter relogin

14:16:49  <Alberth> just open your computer, and you can touch the soundcard even without being a member of the audio usergroup :p

14:17:42  <z-MaTRiX> just wait till' i encrypt it ;)

14:18:15  <Alberth> yummy, scrambled soundcard :D

15:00:38  <Alberth> ha! /me re-found my K&R copy

15:27:59  *** Tomaz has joined #openDune

20:48:10  *** Alberth has left #openDune
