The Warzone OS

[AndroiDX]

Just so you know this is the kind of thing 'm basically trying to accomplish, but with the intention of using it as an "independent platform" that contains all or most of this communities software projects that are part of WZ, including WZ of course!

Software-wise; I have the following list going;

GIMP - Image editor
Blender - 3d Modeling program,
Firefox (May be replaced by Chrome)
Inkscape - For any vector-based graphic editing,
flaMe,
WZ 2.3.0
WZ 2.2.4
WZ Current Trunk
wine
gedit (a code editor)

Try wings instead of blender to mod your models, it's simple, fast, and does not take too much memory.
http://www.wings3d.com/ I believe that it is available for download through the software manager.

I do actually, what do you need to know?

Pretty much everything about it .. but for starters and if you do 'use 'it; how do you like it?

I think what you're planning is something similar to the boot n' play linuX-gamers.net live DVD. For more details on that project , have a look at this. Warzone OS would be cool. Don't forget about licensing compatibilities with the GPL if you're planning to distribute your work though..

Haha, yeah it'll probably be something similar, but not something quite so 'extensive'. The Warzone OS will only contain the game itself and any modding tools that are used in the creation/development/extension of Warzone. (To put it bluntly I'm just modding the hell out of an already 'stable' linux distro [it was never stable for me] and maybe learn something from it.)

As for the GPL compatibility? I think I need a lawyer; I'm still trying to figure that one out, lol.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll be sure to add to the list.

So far the list contains;

GIMP - Image editor (Possibly gimpshop instead; simply because I don't like the MDI interface)
Blender - 3d Modeling program,
wings - another 3d modeling program
Firefox (will be replaced by Chrome or Iron[a variation of Chrome])
Inkscape - For any vector-based graphic editing,
flaMe,
WZ 2.3.0
WZ 2.2.4
WZ Current Trunk
wine
gedit (a code editor)
filezilla (for those of you who want FTP access somewhere)
(Possible) a torrent program like Vuze or Bittorent

Just a suggestion if I may, perhaps remove a few unneeded things, like the FTP and torrent software. The only reason I suggest this is because it makes for a faster and smaller download.

Work your head around the specific parts and it's easy to use.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same, but I'd figured "why I'll just throw it out there and see what the response is."



BTW, is (ever been) a thread on artwork/wallpaper/concept art about Warzone? So far all I have as a generic background is this;



Not very pretty

[Christheturtle]

I wasn't quite sure what you meant, do you mean is there Warzone backgrounds? I'm not sure, but if you work on some and they're good enough I'm sure people would download.

Oh my bad, I just was asking if somebody had already make a thread on Warzone artwork that I could incorporate into the WZ OS. I think this is my queue that I should go to sleep soon; I don't even remember why I posted up the image.

Haha, I do things like that all the time. I'm pretty much always suffering from sleep deprivation. I have insomnia, and at the moment I'm working down in London. I'm in the offices until ridiculous o'clock. So you can probably guess how little sleep I'm getting.

I can only imagine.
