Need for Kings (11:20 PST)
Ryan needs help with getting
his hands on some 3D models. He found some of the ones he needs, like a
balista, on the Free Models Project but he
still needs help finding a "footman, dwarf, paladin, mage, cleric, king
and an archer."

I met Mete (17:00 PST)
A few days after I e-mailed the creator of Milk Shape and posted the
news "Meet Mete," he e-mailed me to notify me that our requested
modifications are officially on his to-do list. Please do e-mail him
with thanks and encouragment if you feel so inclined :)

Gates of Hell (16:30 PST)
A musician friend of ours helping with the Squawk project is having a
bit of trouble finding some linux CDRW drivers for his HP 8220e. If
you you have any information on this please e-mail me about it.
Click here to see his rant and an
explanation of what is exactly meant by "the Gates of Hell."

Meet Mete (18:50 PST)
Mete Ciragan, mete@swissquake.ch,
is the creator of MilkShape 3D, a shareware 3D modeling and animation
program many Windows users are now using to make models for various games
(It has a half-life style skeletal animation system but can export to
Quake and Quake 2 models).
I need him to implement exporting individual model frames in .cad format
so I can compile them into high-precision models (with 16 bit microscopic
precision instead of 8 bit jell-o precision.) I've already e-mailed him
about it so if you want to add your vote, you could just e-mail him and
say "Please implement .cad frame export described by Seth Galbraith
('The Serpent Lord') for his high precision modelgen utility."

89 GPL textures (15:10 PST)
MikeeUSA has released a collection of 89 GPL textures:
"I made some GPL'd textures, they were originally
intended for Crystal Space and some are 256x256 (too
big... bust out tha gimp n cap it dowhn to size!) and
a few are uncommon dimentions (100x100, 128x100) so
resize if nessary :) There are 89 (as far as i know...
hand counted) textures, all png files."
You can download the texture's here or check out the
full list of free texture collections on the
Free Game Arts page.

Fear The Serpent Lord (14:05 PST)
The Serpent Lord has implemented the high precision model support in the
QuakeForge engine, and he has removed the hard-coded vertex and triangle
limits from that engine, so some pretty ridiculous models are now
possible.

Full Circle (18:00 PST)
Well, after some success with Red Hat, we ended up having some
major problems with version 7.3 freezing up on us. So we tried SUsE,
but it wanted to play ring-around-the-roses when we went to install it.
Since our hardware problems are under control, we decided to try Corel
again. Corel Linux is working like a charm. Corel Linux is King!

December Review (23:35 PST)
During the holidays, Galbraith Games released an
Open Quartz self-installing game
and a new version of the free
Hack and Slash Role-Playing System.
We also showed off an early
Squawk Character Generation Wizard.
Last month we also enjoyed playing Nintendo GameCube and seeing the
incredible new Lord of the Rings movie. And don't forget how
Red Hat
testified against Microsoft before the U.S. Senate, and the
Tux Box Project
began moving again.
