[{RA}SKYFURNACE]

in case your interested:

Thanks to alpha2003 for the log...

irc....

<WW_Paragon> Mr Rein, do you have any new and exciting news to share?

<mrein[Epic]> WW_Paragon--> No, demo stil not finished.


<MrAnderson> You promised under 2 weeks

<mrein[Epic]> MrAnderson--> So when is two weeks?


<mrein[Epic]> Demo not finished yet, sorry. Later this week.


<UT2004DEMO> mrein: so is it not tomorrow for sure?

<mrein[Epic]> UT2004DEMO--> No, not tomorrow.



<|wm|wesdog> mark we lookin at wednesday?

<mrein[Epic]> |wm|wesdog--> Possibly but can't say for sure.


<dbf|Trekkier-TY-||ProDemo> dang it mark! you guys better get the demo out in time for these weekend's
lans!

<mrein[Epic]> dbf|Trekkier-TY-||ProDemo--> I think that's a safe bet

<mrein[Epic]> alpha2003--> Yes, this week


<Catzenjaeger> MarkRein[EPIC]---->>really no demo today ? its not a joke? we have tuesday here in germany.

<mrein[Epic]> Catzenjaeger--> No demo today. Probably not tomorrow either.


<Kr4CK3r> Mark can I ask why u are leaving out 50% of your core players but not including the Insta
mutator in the demo?

<mrein[Epic]> Kr4CK3r--> Those guys don't need the demo to know how IG works, right? They already know
how IG works. The purpose of the demo is to introduce the things that are NEW, not the things that are
old.


<pace> How long will we need to wait after the demo is released b4 the linux server will be out?

<mrein[Epic]> pace--> Not sure. Hopefully not too long.


<mrein[Epic]> Lemingus--> Don't recall. Over 200Mb - James (BigSquid)--> How big is the current build of
the demo right now?

<BigSquid[Epic]> still think its about 200Megish
<BigSquid[Epic]> mark-> last version was 208MB


<Slartoff> can you telefrag vehicles?
<Mysterial> Slartoff -> of course not, that would be idiotic

que: DrSin

irc

* DrSiN[Epic] has joined #ut

* ChanServ sets mode: +o DrSiN[Epic]

<DIABLO> DrSin: With the text to voice system, what if a game gets spammed? How is the voice generation of
typed text handled?

<DrSiN[Epic]> Dialbo you can mute it
<DrSiN[Epic]> I always do

<Rakot> DrSin why should i be UT2k4 Over DOOM 3?
<DrSiN[Epic]> Rakot because you can't behead your opponent while going 90mph.


<Virax> DrSiN[Epic]: Will OpenGL still suxx0rs in UT2004? ;/

<DrSiN[Epic]> Virax (A) if it was up to me OpenGL on the PC would be removed and (B) I have no idea so
let's stop shouting it.



<fresh27> drsin? demo still on track for thursday or sooner?

DrSiN[Epic]> fresh on the record.. I have no idea when the demo will



<DIABLO> DrSiN[Epic]: Are you implying the demo may possibly *NOT* be released this week???

<DrSiN[Epic]> Diablo I'm not implying anything.. but we have said a number of times the demo will be this
week.



<BasketCase> Mr. SiN, will the Manta hover on water?

<DrSiN[Epic]> BasketCase I don't think we have any real water in an onslaught map so I don't really know.


<Calsonic> Someone said that there wont be be any indoor maps for Onslaught.

<DrSiN[Epic]> Calsonic we don't have any no.


|H|DaVisionz> I haven't ever heard an answer to this, are all the UT2003 custom maps going to have to be
redone so they work with 2k4? or will it be as easy as moving them over to the new folder?

<DrSiN[Epic]> Davisionz maps should pretty much just work. Some skyboxes might not look 100%.
Additionally, any meshes will need to be converted, either on fly (slow to load) or by the LD.


<DrSiN[Epic]> got to go.. just had a bug delivered..
* ChanServ sets mode: +l 257
* DrSiN[Epic] has quit IRC (Quit: )

[Phanataz]

Yay.. "when its done". :D

[-F7]

LOL at how many times they got asked when the demo was going to be released.

For some reason, I really don't care much about Epic and the UT series anymore. I'll probably check out the demo, but unless it's as revolutionary as UT was I won't be playing it.

what a bunch of jackasses they deleted my thread with the irc log on INA....

[SoBeiT]

Keeping the bosses happy over UT2K4 must be a full tme job since UT2K3 went bust.

They want good press - period. Anyone not agreeing is being left-deleted out.


"when it's done" should be on the letterhead by now :p
