After a few days altering, tweaking and photoshopping I'm pleased to announce the arrival of:

The Freespace Source Code Project

I stress that this is a beta site. It's not the final and it's certainly not supposed to be to incredible. But it will host all the information everyone needs (in time, right now most of the content still need processing). If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them but keep in mind that it's not built to last to long - I won't make massive graphical changes if it'll only be up for a month or two

Anyways, hope y'all like!

Cool, but one more thing
"None at this time" I hope soon some DLs and things will be up

[Fineus]

Hehe, I know I know - it's the groundwork for things to come - I can't magic documents and downloads out of the air

No holo-projectors, eh?

2 things:

1) the news link is 404

2) for the foreseeable future, the downloads will be available thru CVS

We'll figure out a release procedure, but, CVS will always have the latest stuff.

CVS:  Dev. stuff. No public testing.

Site downloads: Public betas and finished patches.

Nice work. But whats CVS? I thought we were all working on one big thing. (Officaily or not we  all think were involved  )

Good stuff tho, we cant realy go wrong with a decent Hub.

That is what i first posted :D, but than i edited my message, cos i got access

[Inquisitor]

No, we'll actually mark builds for public release thru CVS as well.

CVS is the tool that lets "all of us" work together on the same code. There are a couple of good threads in this forum that explain it.

Thunder, i could mirror all downloads if you want

EDIT:  It's a faster connection than 3dap, FSW, etc.

[Fineus]

No, we're ok for the time being - to avoid confusion everything should be kept in one place untill things get rolling, then we can add mirror sites as we go.

[IceFire]

That may be true right now but we'll see what its like when hundreds of people hit you during the same minute.

[Inquisitor]

Again, source dowloads for the foreseeable future will be thru CVS, including releases. Precompilied exes and the like can go on 3DAP or Gamespy, or wherever (if you compile it, you can put it anywhere you like ) but we ain't there yet

at one time we were getting thousands and thousands of hits per day when we were an 'official mirror' for one popular Counter-Strike download, but let's be reasonable... there aren't going to be 'thousands' of people downloading this source code, don't kid yourself!  

I mean, sure 3DAP or FSW's servers may be able to handle more than mine when no one's downloading/using them... but there's never going to be a time when that's going to happen, so why not download from an out-of-the-day server running on a fiber-optic connection, that gets only a thousand or so hits per day!



i was just volunteering!

[Stealth]

oh, and by the way... what connection is Gamespy running on?


Did someone say T3?  or am i thinking of something else...

also, where are their servers located? how many do they have/

[Fineus]

www.gamespy.com

That should tell you - keep this on topic please.

roger that sir
