OMFG, what did you use to theme XP like that? is that like StyleXP or like LiteStep or something.  And if so, what theme?

What the hell went wrong?


All four major OSes are represented here (Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix (what OS X is built off of)).

PS~ hook where did you get your icon set? or is it like mosfet-liquid rendering them like that?

Same here, my Apple is at your disposal.  So long as whatever you want tested doesn\'t completely ruin the system.

EDIT:  yeah, thinking about it, i probably should have put up my system specs too, well here they are, straight from System Profiler

Ok, well maybe there are to many complications involved with creating and distributing a boxed version of PS.  

I know that this is more of a PR issue, but regardless, I\'ll say it anyways.  IMHO, this project really isn\'t that easy to find.  The way I found out about the project was in a LinuxJournal (or some other Linux mag) article when they were interviewing the CrystalSpace devs.  I\'m sure gamer mags would eat up this stuff.  They have CDs chauked full of demos and what not every month.  I think it would be easier to distribute PS to the masses through one of these mediums.  Hell, with what this project is, you could probably have the game be the cover story.  Has this issue been explored?  I know somewhere on the forum, there was an article in a PC mag in Europe somewhere.  Really not that helpful I guess for those of us that live in US.

Just more to ponder.

T-shirts and posters, now there is a good idea.  I\'d definitly pick up a PS t-shirt if one were made available.

elscouta, i do see your point on the publisher thing.  but if PS had one person that was part of the PS team (obviously not the devs, they\'ve got way to much else to worry about) do the publishing (printing, duplicating), then you could probably pull it off.

I don\'t know if there was previous discussion of this or not (if there was I couldn\'t find it).  But what would be the advantages/disadvantages of making a boxed version of Planeshift?  It would probably cause some upfront costs (CDs, printing, duplication), but if you charged like $20-$30 for it, I assume that the project could generate a little funding so that they may put it towards other things related to the project (new server, a mac to help the mac-client development, etc).  Obviously you wouldn\'t start charging to get connected into the game, and there would still the downloadable version of the client.  It would also be a nice option for those of us that don\'t have broadband (me).

If the majority of the speed problems were solved with the release of Panther, then are there any objections from the devs to have it posted \"officially\" in the downloads section of the main site?  Obviously with minimum requirements disclaimer.
