SCI Vga

[Mr Croatia (Mr Hrvatska!)]

hey,

come on. what's the big deal for money Brian, i know tons of organisations on the net which produce FREE software, absoloutely free BloodShed software for one (www.bloodshed.net) the produce compilers for programming languages & other utilities,  even if i dont use their software, tons of other people do. Look at other people.

I think that you knowing that hundreds of people around the world are using your software should bring you enough satisfaction

Keep up the good work (& where is the SCI Studio Source Code) it's not on your web-site...so much for free Open Source software.

Cya.

[Nick Sonneveld]

feel free to produce your own SCI editing suite and not ask for any donations.  Brian does all this in his free time and does not demand for any donations.

If you cannot find the source, feel free to ask where it is instead of accusing him of not being open source.

bloodshed probably have way more developers and they don't write their own compilers, they borrow them from other open source projects.

[Mr Croatia.]

ok,

as for the source code: I HAVE ASKED FOR IT BEFORE, WHERE IS IT MAN!

Could you please put it on the web-site!

& as for donations, i don't think they're necessary!

ciao.

Hello "210.8.232.3"/ "??"/"Mr Croatia"/"Mr Hrvatska!":
I don't understand what your problem is, but you seem to have just come here to cause problems, seeing your other posts.

First of all, I'm a young guy trying to make it in the world, and every dollar I get makes a difference. Second, I haven't begged anyone for money. And for the record, my nearly 3 1/2 years of constant, often full time work has gotten me very well under $50, almost all being a donation from a single person. The difference between SCI Studio and many other free software is that I'm ONE guy, one young guy trying to make it in this world. Most of the large free software is developed by teams, often with members coming and going. And, many free software projects have sponsors of some kind. I do not.

As for the source code, it's all there. It's always been there. I just uploaded the latest one as "SCIStudio-src-20020802.zip" rather than "scistudio-src-20020802.zip" by mistake. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT'S _ALWAYS_ BEEN ON THE MIRROR WITH THE CORRECT CASE. That's what mirror sites are for.

If everyone wanted a beefed up top-notch brand new adventure game engine, they can use AGS. However, people like me who grew up with classic engines like Sierra's always dreamed of making out own with them. It's the same reason people write NES and Atari 2600 stuff, for example.

You know, its posts like yours that make me seriously consider that maybe my daily hours of slaving are a complete waste. And even my slight mention of a little support is a completely outrageous demand. And I should just toss it completely, so I can spend 100% of my time on a real job to make my living. I mean, you did say "SCI is dead".

I don't know where you get off posting all these messages. After a long day's work on SCI Studio, I log on to here to check the messages, only to find your degrading posts--I'm goddamned frustrated!

Maybe SCI Studio really is a waste of time! After all, you're telling me, the one who is working on SCI day after day, that SCI is dead. Well, I guess you're the SCI expert. I guess it's a lost cause.

[Mr Croatia.]

Sorry mate i didn't mean to offend anybody.

I for one have a vast range of Sierra SCI Games, and i will also start using your Great software when the VGA Version is released. SCI is Great, but i think you should just add one extra feature, a feature that doesn't have to be used by the people who want to make classic games & edit classic games. That feature is More Colours (16 or 32 Bit Colour Support) just for us people who want to get old games and enhance them or just go that one step ahead, but 256 colours would still be available. That's all i ask. But you do what you think is best for SCI Studio, as you said i am not the one producing it.

Well, sorry again, but i had tried to download the source code before but it didn't work, i have just downloaded it now - I just want to see how you programmed this very comlicated sofware (I am learning C++)

Keep up the good work on SCI Studio, no offence for what i said before, also your game engine is the best AGS is the biggest crap i've seen (no offence to anyone who is using it)
i got real excited when i found out about AGS, but when i started using it all of these errors and things started coming up. It is not a very good Engine.

My favourite games are Sierra games but i don't mind the modern Max Payne now and then. When will SCI Studio VGA be released, i think it's going to be great,

ciao.

Adding more colors isn't possible, he is writing a studio to make games... this would require an altered or new interpreter(SCI Studio has nothing to do with adding colors) which he isn't making.

I just wanted to weigh in on the Mr. Croatia stuff.  I was dissapointed with the "SCI is dead' post, and reading this new apology one just makes me think that this kid is confused.  I guess its hard not to be bitter when someone just slops their not-to-well-thought-out opinions up on a message board, but I guess thats life.  We were all idiot kids once. Anyway,  I hope that Brian Provinciano continues his project, I mean if he wants to.  I've been working on my own SCI-related project for at least 4 months now, and I already feel pretty unmotivated at times.  I myself made a little bookmark-folder of insperational people and the great things they're doing, to motivate me when I'm feeling lazy, and Brian's SCI Studio site made the list!  Anyway, if all else fails, sabbaticals are great.

[OmerMor]

Can you reveal more details about your SCI-related project? sounds interesting...

[Shish]

Hi all!
Brian! Say only one thing:
WILL SCI STUDIO VGA BE RELEASED BEFORE
NEW YEAR???
I think this will  be a great product, so
please answer...

[Chris Cromer]

Well he can't exactly say that, it will be released when it is finished... not by a set date. Just be patient and it will be released in good time. Do encourage him and show him his work is appreciated though.

[Mike Haley]

Yeah I'd love to, but I can't for some stupid reasons.  Sorry for the tease.

Can you reveal more details about your SCI-related project? sounds interesting...

[OmerMor]

Ok, we'll wait :-)

[Berserk]

How much longer do we have to wait. Can't he release a BETA version??

I just can't wait for it to be released!

ciao.

Don't be so impatient. First of all, you go on and on that SCI is dead, and now you are going on and on about how you want a copy of SCI Studio VGA!
Make up your godd*med mind!

-Allyb-

[Eigen]

I think it's best for all of use to wait quietly and let Brian work on SCI Vga.
