Thanks, redsteven. I've been working on the more minor parts of Xsera due to a frustrating bug that's made the weapons unusable. Hopefully I'll find the answer to that soon, but I've been trying for a little bit more productive work in the meanwhile.

I've just posted information on what I hope to get done for the second tech demo on the xsera-dev Google Group.

Progress report to come shortly.

Enjoy!

I had no idea these pages existed. That's where the updates have gone...

Well xsera-dev is mostly for the developers to communicate with each other. It'll also have small updates on what we plan on doing or what we plan to discuss. The Google group and the cia.vc link that redsteven posted are two great ways to figure out what's going on as we plan it out; the progress posts in this forum are to show the public a general outline of what's going on.

Major progress will still be posted in the progress log in this forum.

This may be a stupid question but i'm going to ask anyway. Will the second tech demo work on OSX 10.4.11? or on a PPC for that matter?

It may or may not work on 10.4.11 depending on whether we can get a couple issues with that fixed. I still develop Xsera on a PowerPC machine however, so I can assure you it works on PPC

I do however recommend upgrading to 10.5.

I would but , sadly , my computer is just a bit to old to run 10.5 (see 2002 iMac with 800mhz G4 processor)

If you have a copy of Leopard and a faster Mac (or a friend who has them), you can install Leopard either onto an external hard drive or directly onto the Mac itself with only one catch: the hard drive must be formatted and possibly installed onto by a PPC machine. You can also use LeopardAssist if you don't have either handy. That said, I have never used it.

Be warned however, that the Mobility Radeon 9000 from my 2003 Titanium PowerBook has incompatibilities with Xsera shaders. I am not sure if a GeForce2 MX in the 15" January 2002 model will work, but I am reasonably certain that the GeForce4 MX from the 17" July 2002 revision can handle it.

I can also verify that Xsera works on a G5 and launches on my PB, albeit with no usable graphics.

Excellent work these last couple of weeks. I can't test it right now, but it looks like Xsera is really coming along.

Great to see it coming along so nicely.
Looking forward to demo 2.

If you need it tested on a G4 last model iMac running Leopard let me know, or on 10.4.11 on a similar slightly older machine. I could also test it on my old Titanium PB running 10.4.11 or my current MBP 10.5.6, 10.5.7.
I could also facilitate any earlier version of Tiger or Leopard on appropriate machines.

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

As always, the work you guys are doing is very, very impressive.

The fact that the project has gotten this far (and is still moving forward) is a major testament to the dedication of the developers.

Don't bother with the TiBook. There is a shader incompatibility with the Mobility Radeon 9000, and I suspect earlier versions as well. Believe me, I tried.

1 GHz Titanium PowerBook, 1 GB RAM, 64 MB Mobility Radeon 9000, Mac OS 10.5.7 and 10.4.11.

For those people interested in testing the second demo, I would hang round #xsera on irc.ambrosiasw.com - that's usually where I pull testers from (and a select few other rooms). You never know what might happen.

Actually, I think I could offer a few good guesses on what might happen. It's on what will happen that I main healthily agnostic.

Bump. How did this fall of the front page again?

It goes away if nobody posts within 30 days. Which is more likely to happen during the summer.

Not reflective with what's been going on in Xsera, though.

I suppose I could write up some stuff for the new site (non-code stuff I mean).

Other than that, it's looking good!

Sure Two Jacks, submit whatever you've got to me via PM, email, IRC, whatever.

*Some restrictions apply. Everybody can feel free to submit content, but email/PM me first for some information about how it works.

Where do I find Demo 2? I already tried downloading Demo 1 but the server didn't respond.

Then I see that Demo 2 is out in the Progress Log, but no link to it. Where is it?! I wana try it! This is mildly frustrating.

There's a whole topic devoted to Demo 2, just like the Demo 1 topic you managed to gravedig. All Xsera topics are in the Ares Briefing Room.

Great! Thanks, Adam. Now if I can only figure out how to subscribe to the Progress thread without posting on it...

I told you how to do that in another topic.

If you have any more questions, PM someone instead of posting in a topic. Thanks!

Space Race: the Musical is coming together well.

As is multiplayer. I've been working on basic multiplayer, and I think it's starting to work. More on this in a progress post soon, hopefully.
