Notes on Myth Film Format Internals

Howdy, For a reason completely unrelated to Myth development itself (though I think the map making group is most likely to give me advice if advice can be given) I was looking around for notes I read way, way back (back when people were trying to reverse eng the game content with hex editors) on the...

Re: Whatever happened to "Fields of Glory"?

No SCS, it wasn't paint. I'd rather not say how it was created. Need to take some secrets with me.

Re: Myth II Linux Beta Testing

I'd love to test it out, probably can't until the weekend, but still - when the weekend comes, something I would be excited about :)

Anyone Interested in Archiving Maps...

This might be interesting. I'm not really sure how many of these can actually be found, but this was, up to the end, a pretty comprehensive list of the maps we played on tfl demo. http://myth.iwarp.com/demomaps/ Unfortunately, all these links are dead, and I don't know the logins/passwords to any of...

Doom yes. If you google around, I believe there are at least two, but I can't remember the names - I don't think I ever got either of them to even run though, heh. Quake maybe, but I'm really not sure. Of course, they would have had the original source to work off of, even if they didn't base it on...

I unfortunately have like 16 hour work days recently so I don't get much time to check/post. I think the point is more this: all these other games, open source or not, try to copy off Warcraft, AOE, etc. These are very popular games, so that makes sense. Myth is an amazingly simple game in compariso...

I don't think there's a legal problem with writing an independent program that can read in the tags from Bungie's game. Especially if that code only reads the original content. It may be illegal for someone to use it to read the content, but surely it isn't illegal to write the tool to let them read...

Piracy Piracy Piracy!

As in stealing gold from the underprivileged! No, I really had something useful to say. I come to Myth sites a lot before I sleep at night. Where else can I still see so much overuse of the photoshop cloud filter? Anyway, I was going to try to come up with some clever subject about open source and M...

GeomExp is a small tool to view wireframes from GEOM data and export them as autocad DXF files. Pretty useless for map makers. I think the reasoning behind it was I was working on a map where I needed to render a scene using in game models for the pregame pic in an external application :) The other ...

Heh, my first Myth tool (I only wrote two) included a mesh editing tool for TFL that was written in VB6. That was a real mess. I don't think anyone can beat that in messiness.

I will go and check it out on a Mac within the next week or so (the lab with Mac's is closed off for some programming competition for an ACM conference this weekend - likewise, most of my time is taken up by sitting through talks at that). There are some things that make me wish I could write in C f...

I would be happy to try to put together something for collection editing. I do currently have access to some Mac machines so in the next couple days I'll go try to see how Amber works (I've never used it). I know Tahoe never really did the job though. I'm most unfamiliar with Myth III, but I'm guess...

Re: ...

Are we talking Mac apps or PC apps? I'm on a PC so.. :roll: 8) The thing I'd like the most right now is a way to import journal pictures, win/loss screens and those sort of things into Myth.. I'm a PC person, but since I'll be in HK for that time, most likely I'll have access to both platforms (des...

What TOOL do people need?

Hello, I'm currently looking at around a 20 day break from a project I'm currently looking on going from around mid December to mid January as I'll be traveling. During that time, I've wanted to do a short term development project just to give myself something to do on long days while I'm waiting fo...
