⏴ go to previous day
00:46:02 *** TrueBrain has joined #openDune
17:39:24 *** Alberth has joined #openDune
17:39:24 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alberth
18:13:44 <SmatZ> hello Alberth, how is OpenRCT going?
18:21:43 <Alberth> no idea, I am doing the FreeRCT project :p
18:22:38 <TrueBrain> he didnt want to join our line of Open :(
18:23:28 <Alberth> we don't reverse engineer either :)
18:27:10 <Alberth> there are however a lot more graphics, so I am preparing for adding enough support so I can add them to the game.
18:28:34 <Alberth> as I am the only programmer, it is not so fast moving forward
18:32:39 <SmatZ> I wonder if reverse engineering is better or not
18:34:55 <Alberth> depends on your goal perhaps. FreeRCT does not aim for being able to use the RCT2 data (although we also don't make it impossible)
18:36:21 <Alberth> The RCT series is far from dead, so one might expect a more tricky situation with the data files. Also, I think reverse engineering is forbidden as part of the license.
18:38:28 <Alberth> and last but not least, I understood from TrueBrain it is hand-written assembly language, which is bad to decompile unless you want to find out how Josef did it :)
18:41:54 <Alberth> in time, I don't think it makes a lot of difference
18:44:22 <Alberth> in fun, I'd prefer build it from scratch, definitely
18:46:23 <Alberth> but.. OpenRCT is still available! :p
18:49:16 <Xaroth|Work> Alberth wants to be different :P
18:49:25 <Alberth> the trouble is currently mostly that you have to make a lot of stuff that you don't want to do now, like a gui system :)
18:49:46 <Alberth> Xaroth|Work: I wasn't already?
continue to next day ⏵
