factoids Alleg Development

Postby notjarvis » Sat May 17, 2014 8:09 am

Noticed @MrChaos posted this the other day and finally looked up on the Alleg. forums.

[quote="MrChaos"]
Fact seems to be doing "something" regarding FreeAllegaince... if this is a deep dark secret shush me but?

Thought I'd post this up.

If it was a secret it's not anymore

Dunno if anyone is still interested - but facts trying to create a new alleg. using various open source components by the look of it.

No idea how far he's getting

May be interesting to watch if anything happens.

It's worth keeping an eye out. My money for a new alleg is a mod to Elite once it's out.

doh

A whole section just for Allegiance... I am a maroon!

I zombied an old post of mine but in the interest of ringing my own clue bell I'll say it (just) here for the future

The Allegiance website was down a few days back and is down now... any information or clue what is going on?
Morbid curiousity on my part
Disclaimer: I have commited to watching every episode of Doctor Who starting at the beginning. Please feel free to ccomment alongmy journey but please no spoilers of any kind and htis includes discussions of anything forward of where I am at that time. No writer X vs writer Z comparisons, no vague references to things to come, no wink nudge nudges even please. The request is if you are in doubt about if I have seen it yet than do not mention it please. Spoliers are really spolers for me and I hate to know what is about to happen. I will faithfully update where in the series I am and the goal is to watch the entire series before the New Year. *gulp* Oh boy About twenty hours a week is what a quick look online is telling me and quite alot of the dear Doctor no matter how much I may come to love the series. Man I hope I end up liking the darn thing... oh boy

I don't know, I saw something about someone switching something to a .zone tld but I tried a few obvious ones and nothing works.

Factoid has been updating the core game files into a cross platform C++11 shared library: https://github.com/Factoid/alleg-core/
As well as creating a client that reportedly ran on Ubuntu and Windows: https://github.com/Factoid/free-allegiance

It's a valiant effort, but I was pretty put off by the state of the code when I had a browse through. It's clearly been abused by a number of different developers over the years, and I don't have the time or the will to deal with that.

I was speaking with xJammer on mumble, and it seems like there's another Allegiance 2 project.
He and a guy named Djole are working on it together, while phantom might help them in the future.

From what he explains, Factoid's work is based on the Allegiance code (so xJammer called it Allegiance 1.5), while their project is built from the ground up.
