Project Zomboid updates and a howto

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 3823, member: 1"Once downloaded remember to set the file as executable by either going into the properties like so;

Or in terminal make it executable;

Don't, the jar file doesn't need to be executable since you run it through java anyway.

Avadon: The Black Fortress @ Gameolith
By MyGameCompany, 4 April 2012 at 4:09 am UTC

What Linux port? Have I missed something? I've only seen Avadon: The Black Fortress for Windows, Mac, and iPad. I've seen/heard nothing about a Linux port...

Well, in the past there was a Linux port of Exile III that never worked for me. And they also released the source code to Blades of Exile as well, though I am not sure if any proper source ports were completed.

Spiderweb? Now there is a surprise!

Anyone else bash around in Exile back in the day? ;)

Mozilla launches BrowserQuest

Quoting: "KIAaze, post: 3865, member: 16"But I don't have any sound, despite having sound in HTML5 videos.
Tried with Firefox and Chromium.


I thought Chromium could not do HTML5 videos, but it can run this?

Looking through the github they plan to add keyboard movement as well which is nice.

Played a while. I like all the little references to games and movies.

If they keep developing it - then it could be quite cool after a while.

80 seconds of game i wish i didn't spend on it.

The only thing I'm missing about this new tech so far is that there's no right-click function. Flash had this same problem.
Also what puzzles me mostly is the fact that it runs faster on Chrome than on Firefox. Strange... :confused:

Humble Bundle Home

Quoting: "Jeff, post: 3840"Hey guys, please don't actually use this yet! It may look pretty and cool, but it is currently in alpha testing and has a bunch of known issues. Sorry for the confusion, we will be taking it down soon.

May want to change where it says "beta" to "alpha" then :)

Have you guys considered rolling out testing stuff on a different domain? The Humble Bundles are so popular that almost anything you put up will eventually be found by people being creative with URLs (like at the Humble Store stuff that caused an awkward situation earlier this year), and the rest of us are all so passionate about Humble Bundle stuff that there's no way we can resist telling everybody about it.

Can't wait to see this get rolled out when it's ready.

I was working on such a thing after a long discussion with them. Guess they beat me to it.

Tiberium Alliances open beta
By Alex V.Sharp, 25 March 2012 at 9:34 pm UTC

I don't know. I like the CnC universe (at least up till Tiberium Wars) but this seems like just another browser game which usually end up boring due to too time consuming micromanagement. I'll give it some more attention to see where it's at... :rolleyes:

I would not have known this unless you pointed it out. I was waiting for something to be updated in Desura. Thanks Liam.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
By Catalanoic, 25 March 2012 at 5:28 am UTC

good news!!!!

Kickstarter fever

Quoting: "Anthony Bertolo, post: 3794"Hi guys,

I'm actually the lead developer for heroes of forevia. I know on the surface asking for double the pledge for a Linux port is excessive but there are two caveats to that:

A) $10,000 is just the amount we are looking for to shore things up. We've spent more than that ourselves in the last year on art and other assets for the game.

B) We are going to push for a Linux port regardless of the final pledge amount. Since we've spent countless hours programming already, it's more of a time issue getting what we have over to the right platform. $10k is the price tag to have that done by a 3rd party. We can do it ourselves, it's just that without the extra cash we can't list it as a sure thing to be ready when the Mac / PC version is.

Just think of it this way: Wasteland 2 is asking for an extra $500k to do their Linux port (which is reasonable depending on the engine technology they plan to use). We're just asking for enough bread and water to make it happen, indie style. (btw the devs at inxile are pretty cool people, they've backed or project as well).

You guys can drill us via email as well (we don't mind). Mine is Anthony at popflame.com


.... OK!

You know... I would love to see Heroes of Forevia on Linux. So... if you say you will really push for a Linux port, I trust you. I will give it a shot and back you.

Nice weekend everyone and don't forget to go the Banner-Saga-Link in my previous post to vote for Linux!

Yes its available from Ubuntu Software Centre, Indievania, Indiecity, Our own website and now Gameolith also.

I have to say, now that we're on the site, I quite like it. As a developer they seem to give us a lot of freedom and we can create keys to give out. I'd definitely consider doing business with them again in the future.
