Took a closer look at all three code repos just now. There are definitely some missing files. Should I ask Dave about them? That would explain why I haven’t been able to follow the newest repo, such as the IO operations. The newest one appears to be mostly the GUI implementation and not the backend stuff.

Started watching the Fallout series on Prime the other day to get my Fallout fix in until I’m able to get something working on the computer (been a little bit busy with a slightly different project….:P). It’s really good! They did an incredible job capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the games and is a blast to boot!

Fun fact: under “Related…[Read more]

Got confirmation that the code is actually under the MIT license. He didn’t have any comments regarding the code so we’ll probably just need to figure it out as we go. Just cloned the repository so I’ll start going through it 🙂

Definitely want to look at doing some rearranging of the directory structure. I’m just not a big fan of having a lot of…[Read more]

Yuck. Intel’s driver scanning tools are quite useful. I’ve used them in the past back before Windows was better at detecting all of the needed drivers. 🙁

Looks like there’s another BIOS update available over here. May hold off a bit as we know how that went last time 😛

Note to self, the protective familiar spirit (what’s the word?) of HP are wanton to prohibit the usage of the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant outside of the HP Support Assistant, so hands of!

Fire control is a bit of a contentious issue over here. Over the years, we weren’t managing the forests properly and allowing them to burn so now they’ve got good conditions to burn out of control. It also affected their reproduction and diversity. We’ve been trying to correct things with controlled burns to clear out the fire hazards but that…[Read more]

Thanks, will try those. I’m a little surprised that it can’t be done per application in Radeon Settings. Still better than changing the refresh rate to 60 Hz. 🙂

Failing all this, I could just wait until Microsoft has them release a remastered version in ten or so years. Microsoft likes their remasters. They did two remasters for Age of Mythology! 😛

Will have more to post later but we’re going to want to use this repository: https://github.com/uesp/mwedit

That seems to be the latest official one

It’s related to the shifting jet streams, going to be a big problem in the future for sure. So better water conservation is a defense.
They have to be careful about the weather, what happens when the bitumen roads get hot with some vehicles travelling at speed. And how safe would it be for cyclists and pedestrians?
Found a couple of bones in the…[Read more]

Here’s what I’m thinking of in terms of priorities:

1. Get it to build
2. General code updates, such as swapping out the integer headers for the library headers (they weren’t merged into the standard until around 2010 or so). This will fix some bugs and may expose others
3. Look at the bug list and decide if it’s time to tackle them with Raid
4. Larger…

Thread up, else things will get clog-orific. 😛
Why not, looks like others found it helpful, there’s something in Adrenalin which might help, global though.

It is the most excited I’ve been about a project in years. May be worth looking into more 🙂

Found the solution if you want to see what happens. I’d be a little surprised if it builds out of the box, though.

Will look at sending him a note. 🙂

Nope. Should I? May also be the FPS. I’m hitting a steady 100 FPS and Gamebryo has some issues above…[Read more]

Will put those on the list!

Finished up You Only Live Twice yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I saw Roald Dahl as screenwriter. I’m just used to his children books 😛

Sounds like a project topic in the offing. 🙂
We could ask him for comment, or comment for code, or comment in return for code, or vice-versa, or a for recommended flavour of Febreze – over here there’s Glen 20 for extra bug zap. 😛
Do you use NVAC?

On the list! Super brains were a thing then, Billion Dollar Brain, Colossus, and much later, The Machine. 😛
If you like theatre, suspense, and a highly active screenplay, Deathtrap has it all. Once acclimatised to the rhythm of Lumet’s direction, you won’t be switching off. The article mentions the earlier Sleuth, one for Caine fans too. Recommended.

Wanted to watch Colossus: The Forbin Project but it’s yet another one that’s not available on streaming. 🙁 Going to have to add it to the disc list! Looks like I can get Gattaca on disc or streaming so I’ll add that to the watchlist. Been wanting to catch it for twenty years 🙂

Finished up Goldfinger and Thunderball. Will keep going!

Yeah, there’s nothing on the Fallout page either about it. Weird. It’s clearly heavily inspired by Fallout so I wonder why nobody tends to mention it? Definitely don’t need a Silo video game: we have Fallout 😛

Still need to watch the Fallout TV series. Can’t see Silo as that’s on Apple tv+ over here 🙁

Yep, middle of winter but it’s been a…[Read more]

I know CMake has a VS plugin that integrates it with Visual Studio. Not sure about Meson about I’ll definitely take a look.

The first order of business would be to simply see if it works, making the minimal code changes necessary to do so. After that, things can be freshened up a bit, maybe with a can of Febreze.

Other than the license, what…[Read more]

VS is the first preference here as it has an IDE and a feedback system which has good support. There are others like the cross platform VSCode which might be worth trying out at some stage.

On the Sourcefourge page the licence is “GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2),” still more popular than other versions, but second fiddle to MIT…[Read more]
