[01:35] <Mattnpat> I have an interesting idea.
[01:36] <Mattnpat> We should encourage make things inspired by ScummVM, that are, similarly to ScummVM, made with a certain series or genre of old PC game in mind.
[01:37] <Mattnpat> They already exist, see GemRB, but there really need to be more of them.
[01:41] <dreammaster> Some of us have been thinking along those lines for a while, with an offshoot of ScummVM for RPGs and other 'actiony' games. I've already got a half-done reimplementation of Might & Magic World of Xeen using the ScummVM core
[01:41] <dreammaster> As always, it's simply a matter of finding the time to complete implementing any game, regardless of the genre
[01:47] <LordHoto> I guess the only way to encourage people to do something is to just start on your own. Other people intersted in the game might join if you made some progress.
[01:49] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: If you allow me to plug my very own projects, there's also https://xoreos.org/
[01:49] <LordHoto> There are some projects around which want to RE games. As you mentioned, there's GemRB. There's also OpenDune for Dune2. There's Xeroes (oh DrMcCoy beat me to that :-P).
[01:49] <DrMcCoy> LordHoto: xoreos, all lowercase, please :P
[01:49] <Mattnpat> There should be one for sim games.
[01:49] <LordHoto> totally botched the typing anyway
[01:49] <Mattnpat> Or theme park games.
[01:49] <DrMcCoy> LordHoto: Yeah, it's not Xerox :P
[01:50] <LordHoto> I think there's some project for the Settlers 2 too. But that is closed source IIRC.
[01:50] <dreammaster> Speaking of games, I've just finally gotten arround to preparing an official testing announcement for Rex Nebular.. could use someone to look it over: http://pastebin.com/EQNXMGZV
[01:50] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: There is an OpenThemeHospital
[01:50] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: This page here lists a lot: http://osgameclones.com/
[01:50] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: And quite new-ish, there's https://github.com/leftmostcat/mortar-eng/
[01:51] <DrMcCoy> Oh, right, OpenThemeHospital renamed to CorsixTH
[01:51] <Mattnpat> I have that.
[01:52] <Mattnpat> Maybe it could be used as a framework for similar projects.
[01:52] <DrMcCoy> LordHoto: Well, there's Widelands and the more direct Return to the Roots, both FLOSS
[01:53] <DrMcCoy> RttR still uses Bazaar...
[01:54] <LordHoto> there's some git repo for RttR: https://github.com/Return-To-The-Roots
[01:54] <LordHoto> also linked from their homepage
[01:56] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: Well, there has been some discussion about maybe breaking out a "core" out of ScummVM for reuse in other projects. But it has been deemed to much work (both in the creation and in the maintaining) for too little gain
[01:57] <DrMcCoy> Mattnpat: But ResidualVM, for example, uses/copies a lot of ScummVM code already. As does xoreos
[01:57] <Mattnpat> Yeah.
[01:57] <Mattnpat> Huh.
[01:57] <Mattnpat> Off-topic, Abuse still holds up pretty well.
[01:59] <Mattnpat> I don't know how to change the controls...
[02:02] <Lightkey> and there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engine_recreations *roundhousekick*
[02:03] <Lightkey> https://imgur.com/gallery/kpQKL *kneeded to be shared, YOU HAD ONE JOB!
[02:03] <Mattnpat> Looks okay.

[02:06] <Mattnpat> No.
[02:08] <-- D0SFreak left irc: Ping timeout: 255 seconds
[02:12] <LordHoto> Lightkey: So it doesn't list ScummVM for EoB II? :-P

[02:13] <Lightkey> LordHoto: change it? it's in the linked Category of ScummVM supported games though, I hope :p
[02:14] <Lightkey> dreammaster: 1. it's March 30; 2. what's with the line breaks? 3. I prefer to link to the Wikipedia page as it links to MobyGames as well; 4. a double "the"; 5 add the affiliation referrer to the GOG.com link
[02:16] <LordHoto> Lightkey: Actally the Category only seems to link EoB 1.
[02:17] <Lightkey> I'm not your act ally
[02:18] <dreammaster> Thanks for the suggestions Lightkey
[02:21] <Lightkey> what are all these Germans doing here at 4 am anyway?
[02:21] <Mattnpat> Maybe they're night owls?
[02:22] <Mattnpat> I would love to play the Ur Quan Masters, but I don't like the time limit.

[03:11] <clone2727> DrMcCoy, LordHoto: A shame on you for not proofreading when requested!
[03:11] <clone2727> dreammaster: Sorry, was afk :P
[03:14] <dreammaster> Well, better late than never, thanks :)
[03:15] <clone2727> dreammaster: Updated the site too, so it'll appear on the front page
[03:16] <dreammaster> Thanks.
[03:17] <clone2727> synced the forum post too
[03:18] <dreammaster> Bonza. It's good to have Rex finally done after all these years and aborted efforts.
[03:18] <clone2727> dreammaster: Don't forget to add it to the compatibility page!
[03:18] <clone2727> dreammaster: And then work on Master Lu :P
[03:19] <dreammaster> Probably better to bug Johndoe about that. He's the one that's been concentrating more on the M4 games. :)
[03:22] <Endy> Woo
[03:22] <Endy> Congrats :P
[03:23] <clone2727> dreammaster: But it's less fun to bother him about it ;)
[03:23] <clone2727> Endy!
[03:23] <dreammaster> Thanks Endy

[03:50] <Endy> clone2727: *scribbles sticky-note and attaches to monitor* - added to issue list :)
[03:50] <Endy> Dealing with some annoyance today - one of my upstream ISPs was doing maintenance last night and somehow reprovisioned one of my 50Mbps ports as a 10Mbps port.
[03:50] <Endy> Needless to say things are a bit slow right now.. apart from the phones. When voip is working. :P
