Question about 1.5 - When is it coming out?

grim · Post by **grim** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:17 am

I'd hate to have the same debate over at the ::cough:: forums again this year as we had last year because of 1.4 :nocomment: So is the patch coming out before June?

Also, is there there any possibility that it would support the old films? With the current patch all the old films go oos which is really a shame :surprised:

1.5 Public beta will be released soon. Right now it's in RC status with the internal testing. The newer version will support 1.3 films but not 1.4. However, you can use the 1.4.x application to view your 1.4 films.

The release date is unknown atm so we're not really rushed into anything. We dont want another 1.4 scene here. Be assured it's getting worked on at a steady pace and if everything goes right, you can expect it by June.

Well before June if possible. We want it to be out a good month before MWC so there's no conflict between the two. In fact we've stopped adding new stuff now & are working on debugging only before a public beta release.

What about a Linux build? People tend to never include it!

No one really plays Myth anymore on a Linux platform.

I know 4 people off the top of my head that would play it if they had a linux build. They still play 1.3 TCP/IP games..

Correct, no-one plays on linux because there's only 1.3.

Re abandonware, there's 2 ways that could happen. Either the company that owns the game state that they don't mind ppl dstributing it for free, or some site in Denmark decides to do it anyway and waits to see if the owner cares enough to protest.

95% of abandonware falls into the latter category, and no it really isn't legal. I very much doubt whether the current owners of the Myth games (United Developers for TFL/M2, Take 2 for PC Myth 3, Atari for Mac Myth 3) would do anything to make Myth free once its stopped being sold. They'll simply shelve it.

So Denmark can do what it wants. Bush might have something say about that!

oh, also we do have someone working on the linux port. Its just that they're a full-time game developer in real life as well, so the amount of effort they can commit to Myth has been sporadic. We do have hopes of a port happening though.

That is definately nice to hear.

Linux people always like the "old, good games"

How can I contact Linux p · Sat Jul 17, 2004 12:58 pm

I have Mith 2 1.3e runing under Linux. It's a great game but no 1.5 version. I lost my hopes time ago.

If you know some group playing Myth 2 with Linux, I want to contact them.

Thanks in Advance
