Hi,

 

we are interested in packaging the dark mod for gentoo (source distro). The only problem I see is how to obtain the data files. Is it possible to

 

a) host them on our own mirrors (would the licenses allow that?) or

 

b just wget them from a reliable mirror directly and

 

c) do they change in-place without being renamed?

 

There are a few other things on the way, but the data files issue is the most important. Other questions would involve:

 

d) are any of the bundled libraries/headers modified?

 

e) how can we make this more FHS compliant (pass custom data search location during compile time or as cli parameters)

a.) Yes. preferably they should host them if they are looking to package them. The license allows this.

b.) No, that's not exactly ideal as mirroring will not keep a fixed structure, I see you ask below anyway.

c.) Yes

d.) No - However be aware that the binary support is i386 (ok well i686, whateverrrr) at the moment, libs must match up, but nothing bad otherwise. Jpeg headers were edited in the past, but should now use system headers without issue.

e.) The build system will be changed in the future (hopefully) to make it easier for general compilation, as well as packaging. CMake rather than a mess of SCons.

 

Edit : If the guy needs any more, he can find me on freenode in #thedarkmod - same nick.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
