    I cannot tell which photos are real and which are not. Incredible.

    Are we sure he isn't sneaking some actual photographs in there? ;D
    The way of rendering them out really adds to the scene as a whole as well. E.g. the low light camera sensor grain really makes it feel like someone took a photo of it.

    I know Omar got the launcher working on Linux at one point and even contributed a few code tweaks to help improve the support but I'm not sure if he's around at the moment

    Very little lately. In the middle of painting, building a kitchen, doing electrical wiring etc.  :p
    Living/sleeping space is the only thing pretty much done haha.

    If I can find a bit of spare time I'll see what I can do to retrieve/update what I had.

    I spot lots of interesting new ones, but many of the old ones are missing.  I take it this is a voluntary rehost, not a resurrection of the content from the old renhelp-variant sites?

    Pretty much. Basically all we've been able to find/retrieve so far has been put up. If you know or have any missing ones, they can be added as well.

  3. From version 2.19 of Wine i.c.w. launcher version 0.7.5.x and up I believe most blocking issues preventing it from running, or at least somewhat without crashing, have been resolved.
    Good chances you can get it running in Wine now relatively easily compared to before that point.

    I had planned to update what I had already made accordingly but with version 0.8 of the launcher the way it has been packaged has changed so several things I set up no longer work.
    If I get around to it somewhere this week I may put something up for those that want to try to run things on Linux.

    DISCLAIMER: Running on Wine/Linux is not officially supported by W3DHub so any crashes you can not reproduce on Windows will probably not be looked at by anyone.

  4. You might want to update the copy/paste text you posted to just state the text you need to append after the last quote.
    I know tons of people that do not use 'C:\' for things other than core system software and a few that put games in 'Games' instead of 'Program Files' (or 'Program Files (x86)'). As soon as they would just copy/paste the instructions, it'd just break things.

  5. If I'm entirely honest I think the tanks are looking a bit too shiny, especially when attached to the train. They look too new.
    With the train looking used/worn down and those tanks that almost look like they just tried to polish them up, I think the look/relation between the two could've been improved by decreasing the difference of the 'newness' between the train and tanks.

    It's a very nice scene nonetheless though.

  6. @Einstein; that has been me most likely as well ;)

     

    The last state of the changes I had to make were good. Things were working with mostly just cosmetic issues.

    I'll check my changes against the latest versions and update where needed. Hopefully this can be pushed upstream some time as well.

     

    That aside, with what's currently publicly available, your best option right now is to install the games under Windows and copy them over. The games themselves should work fine under WINE.

  7. Edit: Another free game promotion!

     

    GOG.com is having their summer sale right now. If you sign up and download their GOG Galaxy client they will give you a free copy of System Shock 2.

     

    For those that don't want to do that, ...

     

     

    You can also set your browser's user agent to "GOGGalaxyClient/1.1.10.47" and visit the site as usual to get it ;)

  8. Personally I'd say it's fine but I had the same opinion with Windows 8 tbh.. But if you prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8 then you'll probably be fine with Windows 10 as well.

    I don't recall whether or not you could rollback after installation but otherwise you could always clone your HDD, update to Windows 10 and if you're not happy put the cloned image back.

     

    That said, I personally barely use Windows nowadays. Since I've moved to Linux I only used Windows for 2 reasons so far; 1) gaming, 2) coding with the W3D Hub Launcher to get it to run on Linux (/me points to tease at page 2).

  9. I hadn't managed to get the launcher to run under Wine. The games I had no issue with (for the time I've played anyway).

    Since there is no other way to get the game files than through the launcher, I grabbed the installed files from a Windows installation. After that is was just a matter of running the executable.

     

    I should probably try and pick this up again to see how things are now with Wine.

  10. You can watch me working on texturing it in NDO via the Quixel Tools Twitch! :D

    I have no idea what most of the terms mean but it was quite interesting to watch the process anyway.

     

     

    I'm streaming LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/quixeltools/ right now. :)

     

    If I wasn't on the other side of the globe where that was during the night on a working day I'd probably have checked it out. Instead I watched the past broadcast version :p
