@Freschism > The source code for KP had been lost Weird, in 2014 you still had it (web.archive.org/web/2014101304…), how did it get lost?

After years of hard work, we’re finally releasing Kingpin: Reloaded today. It’s been quite a journey to get this thing done, and it’s been a passion project from the Lead Dev. Robert. The source code for KP had been lost, which meant that Robert, essentially wrote a new engine, sandwiched between Unity and the original game, in order to reverse engineer and interpret the entire original game. It’s been a monumental effort, and incredibly challenging, but I’m proud to see the game finally release. IMO, this is something deserving a GDC talk. I’m super proud of Rob. Furthermore, we began working on the re-mastered textures for the game, 3 years ago. Almost every texture was hand-made and painted from scratch, using the original textures and artwork as reference. The result is a game which plays nearly identical to the original, with quality of life improvements, and a visual overhaul which doesn’t stray too far from the original in terms of style. KP Reloaded is a passion project, and something I’m proud to finally see released. Enjoy! store.steampowered.com/app/1224700/Ki… @3DRealms @SlipgateIron @InterplayGames

@annetropy Oh shit :( I wish you a fast recovery without any complications!

I spent Memorial Day weekend + last week in the hospital after my intestines literally twisted. Had emergency surgery to cut out a chunk of intestines. The incision is from sternum to belly button, so an 8 wk recovery. I am REALLY bad at summer break (but look at that view!)

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien Possible. Germany is so behind w/ adult ADHD: it took until 2011 for *any* medication to became officially available for adults, Elvanse is only was approved in 2019 (but only in 30, 50, 70mg, children can also get 20, 40, 60) and many psychologists still seem unable to detect it

@Doomed_Daniel @ADHD_Alien The field is still being heavily researched because not enough has been done. In my city there is a ADHD program currently running at the university's research department. For reference of my information dating: I got diagnosed beginning of this year. Could be it's a newer rule.

Short thread on how to get diagnosed with ADHD in Germany. I'm not 100% educated on all laws and procedures so keep that in mind! First, you'll need to google "your city name + adhd diagnosis". Ideally we are looking for a specialized psychiater, -

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien Tatsächlich tritt es aber teilweise erst zwischen 12 und 16 auf. Aber "für einen ADHS-Beginn im Erwachsenenalter (Adult-onset-ADHS) fehlen hingegen die Nachweise" (das ist Stand 2019) 2/2

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien link.springer.com/article/10.100… sagt "Für die Diagnose einer Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) anhand des DSM-5 müssen die Symptome der Unaufmerksamkeit oder Hyperaktivität/Impulsivität in einem Alter unter zwölf Jahren auftreten." 1/n

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien Interesting, this is the first time I heard about this, I think my psychiatrist told me that he has to retroactively "prove" that it already existed at childhood and just wasn't diagnosed - but maybe that was b/c the diagnosis for ADHD developed as an adult would've been useless

@Doomed_Daniel @ADHD_Alien ADHD can develop in adulthood too, so if you're not careful they'll diagnose that instead. And specifically adult diagnosed ADHD isn't paid by public insurance. Which is stupid, but sadly the case. I got really lucky with my doc who explained the messed up system to me.

@nickaylarious @BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien a spambot for a shroom dealer, cute

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien Of course that doesn't mean there can't be stupid rules like "we'll only pay your children-only medication when you're adult when you've taking it before and it's a continuation" or shit like that - though in the end your insurer can decide to pay for children-only meds anyway

@BalthiBoom @ADHD_Alien AFAIK in Germany an ADHD diagnosis implies a retroactive childhood diagnosis, which is why you have to bring school reports and tell about your childhood (the assumption is that you're born with ADHD, it doesn't spontaneously develop when you're adult)

@ADHD_Alien @macaparket You (or your psychiatrist) can ask your insurance to pay for it anyway. I get Elvanse 20mg (that dosage is only available for children, not as "Elvanse Adult") and they pay, though the psychiatrist needs to send a letter to my insurer once a year

@macaparket I have an issue where I metabolize methylphenidate too fast, so the only medication that works right for me is concerta. But concerta is only indicated for use for children in Germany, so that one specifically I have to pay because I wasn't diagnosed as a child (dumb law)

@ADHD_Alien I think I had to pay some money once for the diagnosis (it apparently was "IGeL"?) But after that everything was covered by standard health insurance

or a hospital or psychiatry with an "ADHS Ambulanz". Unless it's a "private pay only" clinic, you should get it paid by your standard insurance. No idea about procedures where you have to pay, sorry!

@Colonthreee Is the source code of the gamex86.dll available somewhere, so it can be ported to other platforms than Windows?

The Quake 2 25th Anniversary Collaborative UNIT is FINALLY HERE! x'3 Load it down using the link below, and please do check the enclosed readme.txt for all your detailed needs on how to set it up! #leveldesign quakeulf.suxos.org/3d/maps/Quake2…

@TafferKing451 That'd be great, thank you! :)

@Doomed_Daniel Oh shoot. I totally forgot about that ticket. I’ll take some time to go through that this weekend.

Playing Doom 3 using Dhewm3 Source Port at 2560x1440 at 144hz. It took a bunch of tweaks to ensure the physics weren't linked to framerate, but got it working. Definitely my favorite way to play this game now. (Sadly twitter limits video uploads to 60fps lol)

@TafferKing451 Can you look at the github issue again and try a thing or two? After getting the eaxefx OpenAL32.dll to work I realized that it's just like a wrapper that uses a real OpenAL DLL that it loads, possible from a systemwide (driver) install

@TafferKing451 I'll create a windows build of the current git code - that won't include the 144hz changes, but for looking into sound issues that makes more sense because of all the recent changes (well, and the not so recent ones - those 144hz builds you linked are >3years old)

@Mirabellensaft @ADHD_Alien working hard works great (well, not really, but maybe kinda works at least), until you burn out on it - I wonder how many of the people who advocate overcoming ADHD with sheer willpower or sth eventually burn out

@ADHD_Alien Working hard was what made me collapse with me adhd in the first place. Unlearning to work hard is the only way I can cope.

you are living proof of all that encapsulates ADHD. ADHD is different for all of us, and it would be nice if you believed us when we say that your neat little coping strategies don’t work for all of us. I’ve heard a lot of ADHDers say “I just started working hard-

@TafferKing451 I elaborated a bit on github, with ideas for further testing :)

@Doomed_Daniel It hasn’t been a big deal because part of the fun of Dhewm’s OpenAL support is playing with all the EAX features, but yeah - it was interesting that someone noticed that.

@TafferKing451 oh, that is you - should've recognized the avatar :) I don't think that any filter should be applied with EAX disabled, but not sure.. TBH that sound code is causing lots of trouble lately, but so far mostly with "weapon is not as loud as it should be" (which hopefully is fixed)

@Doomed_Daniel Also, while I have your ear - someone noticed in the video above that something with the sound is off. Unsure if there's some EAX setting that is being applied even with it off or if it's just differences w/ OpenAL. I catalogued the comparison here: github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/i…

@YKalatzis @AkwugoEmejulu So "deeply reactionary" and "textbook conservative" mean the same thing? Confusing.

@Doomed_Daniel @AkwugoEmejulu Reactionary in this concept means reactionary to change or to progress so, at the same time, means conservative.
