Sztupy sent word that they have finished the beta 4 of the IanOut engine, here's more info:<blockquote>What's new?
Great stuff !!
- It is using SDL instead of DirectX... the code looks better, and is 99% portable to linux and MacOs... oh... and it seems it's a bit faster too!?
- An installer+configurer. It seemed lot of people had problems with the configuration of the game... I hope this will fix lot of those problems
- A new logging system... I hope this will ease my work while tracking bugs...
- Music support... okey, it's very-very experimental, and it's only music... but at least it's there
- Some nice Alphablend effects... look at the screenshots to get an idea what this option is
- 2 mods in one package... yes... you get the original IanOut main mod (of course it's experimantal), and now you get a non-interactive mod too: it shows some scenes from the book Orwell's book 1984... they may sound nonsence if you haven't read the book...
- No intro... well... there will be a better MPEG intro anyway...
- No text during caracter generation: will be solved...
- ONLY JPG/BMP/FRM/and some TIF support... the other file formats were taken out.
Great stuff !!
