:The advantage of emulated environments is that you don't need to buy/borrow/steal Windows at all. | |||
:Alloc plays Oni under Linux, with wine, and it works OK. So does OUP. | |||
:As Feral said, Take 2 are the exclusive owners of the Oni franchise (Rockstar and Feral are just borrowing it ^^). | |||
::Therefore, it's up to Take2 to decide (financially) whether, e.g., Oni's source should be distributed or not. | |||
:::However, what we've seen of Take 2 so far doesn't leave much hope in that matter. | |||
::I'm sure they have their reasons (actually, rather a lack thereof). | |||
:The release of patches is a different story. It depends on what exactly the patch is supposed to "fix". | |||
::The network and dev mode were left out ''intentionally'', so one shouldn't expect an official patch for those. | |||
:Actual bugs such as [[Troubleshooting/Blam|Blam]] we somehow think "ought to be fixed". | |||
::We know, however, that Ian suggested to de-Blam Oni ''way'' back in 2000 (not sure about the year). | |||
:::And got no reply. | |||
:As for erroneous key mapping, mousebutton3 mismapped to SHIFT, or a non-mapped mouse wheel are one thing. | |||
::Getting those right allows one to customise one's controls and to enhance one's "normal" Oni experience. | |||
:The ENTER key screwed up by OMNI is a completely different thing. | |||
::No one will bind ENTER to a normal-gameplay event. It will only serve for the Developer Mode. | |||
:::And that's where it might hurt... | |||
:Politically, I fear that releasing a patch at this stage would mean to acknowledge the die-hard community, | |||
::''along with what that community has been doing'' (hacking, reverse-engineering, resource extracting...). | |||
:That sounds like a pretty good reason for the bureaucrats involved not to do ''anything''. Just to be on the safe side. | |||
::I think those considerations ought to be kept in mind when contacting Take2 or whoever: we're licence violators. | |||
:I might release the script for the Rail Gun Mode some time soon. And a little video just for you Mac-haxxors ^^. | |||
::You can view WMVs, can't you? | |||
:As for '''Storming the Rooftops''', make it 1:50 to Mukade with the original scripts, bar the cutscenes. | |||
:(I played Loser's script, and Mukade is ''way'' slow, especially on SP1, where you can outrun him by miles) | |||
:Here's something worth a thread on {{OCF}} (and maybe another video by you, hmm?) | |||

:There's Marathon [http://home.comcast.net/~chrismb/marathon1.html 1] & [http://home.comcast.net/~chrismb/marathon2.html 2] in the same thread, as well as [http://forums.bungie.org/story/?noframes;read=49569 Halo], all of them quite enjoyable. | |||
:Another idea: a contest of "cat & mouse" pics ^^ | |||
