Lithium II - need new gamei386.so

[m0gely]

I have my server back up and running. But after getting it to work on
FreeBSD (as described in my last thread) the Lithium II library will not
work. I am pretty sure it needs to be recompiled for the same reasons I
had to recompile the q2 source.

Did WhiteFang ever release the source to this plugin? If so does anyone
here have it? It's not on the Lithium II site.

It would be sweet to get Chaos up and running as well but they have not
released their source either it appears.

ASAIK source for Lithium was never released.

That's the sort of thing I was ranting about earlier - great mod, no source,
no new binary releases. If you want your mod to die, use the SDK instead of
GPL, don't release the source to anyone, and don't recompile binaries.

I've a Quake 2 mod I've been working on for a few years where the source is
GPL, but it's stuck here on my hard drive and it needs a nice home. It's been
7 months since I emailed Ryan about hosting at Icculus without a word... so,
anyone have any ideas on a good place to host Quake 2 mods, CVS and project
tools, web page, mailing list, etc?

anyone have any ideas on a good place to host Quake 2 mods,

Have a look at these page's setups:

http://www.quakeforge.net/

http://q2united.sourceforge.net/


Could get it hosted here:

http://www.quakesrc.org/

Yea, Zakk's over there and he was encouraging. I didn't see any CVS or
development tools there, but they do host stuff and write about stuff.

More on-topic, if you want to see Lithium or Lithium II run on modern
libraries, you've got to find and pester those guys. Beat them a bit
for me while you're at it - for not contributing to open source.

I am serious btw.

I think if anybody wants to keep closed source, it's up to them (I never
would), but what really IS annoying is when there is no updates or any sign
of 'keeping up' with system OS etc. for years after, and as the
game/mod/whatever is popular, it could be taken that it's done deliberate to
piss people off.

I don't understand sitting on closed source from a released GPL code base if
nothing more will happen to it - ever.

I emailed WhiteFang but who knows if he even checks it anymore. His
forums are down and some of the links on that site no longer work.
