Guest Max Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I was talking about game engines with one of my friends today and remembered GemRB. I'm really glad to see it's still being worked on. Anyway, I thought I'd drop by and first apologize for disappearing from DLTC. My unannounced breaks were getting longer and longer, and I just didn't (and still don't) have the time to contribute to modding. I couldn't tell you guys I was giving up--I just kind of hoped someone else would take over and continue. Ah well. That was over a year ago now. But yeah, so I'm finally using linux and maybe I'll have some time in a few months where I can test out or help GemRB--I know quite a bit more about coding than I used to. I may stick around here.

Max Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yo, igi, good to see ya. Where's the chat happening nowadays? Link to comment
Avenger Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 uhm, Max, first get the dltc boards out of hibernation. I've frozen it because it seemed terminally ill. I'm usually on #gemrb, if i'm not, Edheldil or wjp are the others who work really on the engine. And... Welcome back. Link to comment
Max Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The DLTC boards' database seems somehow screwed up. I don't think I could get 'em back up without completely redoing it. Link to comment
jcompton Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I believe I still have a clean backup around from some months ago when Sim and I did a little poking around in administration mode. It would be missing a few posts but it's not like there was a whole ton of active discussion there lately. (edit: yes, I still have the DB from May 2005.) Link to comment
Avenger Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Anything from 2005 would do. There was only useless noise in 2005 and i could always back up with a new dltcep release Btw, we also need the most recent board software, i heard about a massive surge of board break-ins. Link to comment
Max Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Okay, so I think I'm just going to nuke the forum and install a fresh copy of YaBB2.1 there. Will I be able to port the old SMF file into the new YaBB? I don't have much experience in this area... Link to comment

Will I be able to port the old SMF file into the new YaBB? I don't have much experience in this area... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yabb 2.1 is the CGI version of the board, which would arguably be a downgrade even if you could get it to bring across the old data, which I don't recommend. I can find two versions of the database. One which I upgraded to YaBB SE 1.5.5, the other which is already prepped for SMF 1.0.3. Personally I'd recommend just going with the latter version (I can upgrade it to 1.0.6 first before doing the dump), SMF is strictly superior to YaBB SE in every way. Link to comment
Avenger Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 hehe, Jc told me, i forgot to say which network: chat dot freenode dot net Link to comment
jcompton Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I believe I have a functional version of the May 2005 DB restored and ready for use. Link to comment
Max Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Forum's up and running under its old address (www.dragonlancetc.com/forums). Looking into upgrading it myself, but this should do for now. Link to comment
Grunker Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 M... M... Max? We've been spamming the DLTC forums to hell for a year and you reappear here out of all places. Good to see you back. Link to comment
