need backgroung for liveCD

[loux]

Hello,
i'm building a nice liveCD with PS on it (works fine now), i need some nice gensplash picture when the kernel start,
will need it in multiformat 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768 png 8bit,
one slot for silent mode where a nice big picture can be show (with copyrith of course)
one slot for verbose mode where a little picture on the top of screen can be show
thanks for helping me

I have only one thing to say: Planeshift isn't Open-source!

So it's not possible to make liveCDs with it, 'cept if you ask permission from Talad, something I doubt that would have a positive answer.

[loux]

Raleigh you can doubt ! but if you want to be sure, ask Talad yourself,
by the way nvidia drivers it not open source too and ?

PS : this not a topic on the legacy of the subject, just to ask some nice picture of PS to put on gensplash/bootsplash

Maybe you already watched and you don't like 'em, but until you credit me and don't claim it's your (or someone else) work,  you can use mines if you want:

As for legacy, I think Atomic Blue encourages the distribution among third persons: on the download page you're asked to use p2p. You're not allowed to use PS art out from the game, or to run your own server.

hello pKrime, thanks for the pictures
they are beautiful but i will not take them,
i need something for all

What's a liveCD?

pKrime, those pictures are awesome.

[loux]

yep a liveCD, put on your computer ( >= i686 with ATI/NVIDIA recent card) boot and play

[Quitarias]

saw both of those in the Fanart project Images thread.Still have to say the enki seem a bit strange.
Loux i was wondering why do you need a live CD.

[loux]

hi Quitarias,
i don't need it but i want to propose it.
"Give me a computer and i'll give you PS"
sounds fun ?
btw for the arts i have found something for now
see you

What's a liveCD?

A liveCD is one which can boot a fully functional operating system from itself. I have used Knoppix many, many, many times in rescue scenarios or when my hard drive just failed to boot at all. It's also a good way to carry an OS with you anywhere you want, a good way to test linux without installing/modifying anything on your computer (and thus less chance to mess something up). What loux is trying to say is that he created a liveCD (probably based on Knoppix which has all the drivers installed and can possibly detect all your hardware configuration) + install itself in the system memory (RAM) and simply play Planeshift from it. However, if I remember right, PS does save some configuration files after the installation, and that may be very desirable, does the liveCD also has the option of saving some files on the hard drive? (I'm pretty sure Knoppix has one such feature).

Anyway, congrats on the effort loux!

[loux]

hello Ralleyon is right except that i used liveCD gentoo 2007.0 that i customized and add PS on it,
i just now to save /home/gentoo folder on a memory stick for example,
but the game works well on it for now
see you

Nicey!

Now, some additional questions if I may. What sort of hardware detection does it use? What are the recommended hardware specs? (so that they blend in with the drivers you installed)

[ThomPhoenix]

What about "Planeshift development environment" with Blender, The Gimp, Blender2CS, CVS, SVN, MySQL, PHP, a compiling environment, a coding environment, an audio-editing environment, a dds-viewer, pre-compiled Planeshift(client+server+NPCclient) and all official guides and links included?

Would be more fun to make

[loux]

i'm trying to keep it as general as i can for the hardware (>=i686, nvidia, ati, sis ...)
but no development environnement for now it will took too many place, but why not for a liveDVD,
see you
