Post subject: Someone Poort Subspace, or some equiv to the Xbox!

Howdy,

I dunno if this game is open source, closed, private, underground or spoonmangie, i dont care.

What i do care about, is having a port of this game to the Xbox.

It seems that no company is enforcing the boarders of this game, and thats sweet, because it allows some people with too much time on their hands to become famous in their own little world.

If you want to expand that world, then please, unite with others and get this game onto the xbox for me, you, and that dude over there who only plays games on the console!

Thank you!
and keep the dream alive!

Whats xbox got to with SS?

Anonymous - Sun Mar 06, 2005 6:08 pm
Post subject: Not much at all....

Nothing....

Thats why i would like to see a port of SS to the xbox.

SS is a pretty basic game, you can use almost any engine/graphics as long as it can contact the game server....

So i think it would be fairly easy to port.

Maybe i am wrong, i dunno.

I would like to see someone try though.

Let me say it will never happen.

Let me explain: A Microsoft XBox SDK costs money. SS is a free and quasi-legal game. No one will invest time and money into porting a free PC game to a console for no reward.

And there is no reward because you can hardly charge money for a game that is already free, and a game that you do NOT own the rights for.

If anyone were to make money off of subspace, BDE would intervene.

Yes, this i know...

I am not talking about charging money for it at all.

I thought there was an SDK for xbox that was public domain...

http://www.openxdk.org/

Could that not be used to develope another free version of SS?

Thanks

If i knew how to code i would do this myself to prove (to myself, not you) that it is possible.

There are thousands and thousands of game out there that have been ported, cloned, copied and emulated...

If you think it isnt about skills, then i dont think that there is anything in this world that will make you happy.

You read other peoples works, you enjoy other peoples art, you laugh at other peoples jokes, but untill you make something for yourself and realize that creation for the sake of self fulfilment is an actuality, just keep your nose to yourself, untill you learn how to poort someones elses to your unfulfilled face.

You should just port SS to Linux! Then you could run it on XBox too

Thanks!

Well,

Frankly i am supprised there isnt a port to linux already.

Considering this game is so loved, and has been around for years and has pretty much been maked as freeware.

So someone port it to linux AND port it to xbox.

(cauz i dont have linux on my xbox yet)

Thanks!

I dunno what your problem is.

If you cant say anything nice then shut your pre-pubescent mouth.

I dont know why you have such a mini hardon about my post.

Porting this game to the xbox is probbaly a fairly easy task considering the graphics, sounds and etc are already there in plain english.

Dustpuppy - Sun Mar 06, 2005 7:15 pm
Post subject:

Ok here's a real answer:

You're proposing a direct port using existing servers. Ignoring issues with porting the code there's the problem of protocol. PriitK (the developer of Continuum) has created a new, more secure protocol just for Continuum, and no-one else has the encryption or protocol info.

Edit: what Brain said. Just take our word for it please

Well as far as i am concerned the only problem is with the protocal.

A direct port is not really needed, just a gui to run over top of the protocol...

It is too bad that PriitK will not release the protocal info for the new continium though. Because other than those issues it would be an easy clone job.

Porting a game to another platform, right?

Now, who's the real dork here? Reply with "I am the dork here", Spooky.

Oh and Brain, thanks for the "Solo, be quiet, for God's sake. You made your point.", that's what I was waiting for.

Post subject: So basicaly...

So it's just the fact that no one has the skills or time/energy that PriitK has for figuring out the protocols that the new version of subspace runs on?

Dustpuppy - Sun Mar 06, 2005 7:25 pm
Post subject:

Granted it's not a particularly complex game, but it's still a lot of work. I don't know about developing for the XBox but I can't see a port happening at all. There was a Linux client underway but it was stopped due to (I think) a combination of lack of time and the introduction of Continuum.

Yes, I was wondering if anyone could port this 8+ year old game to another platform....

And i belive you were one of the ones saying it could not be done....

And yes in the trash talk forum i was bringing a mother into it....

I never said i was not a dork though.

Qndre does have the "skills".

No, he doesn't.
Probably someone has the skills, it would take too much time and it would be too much work.
If you'd read more on how well Continuum is secured and how hard it would be to break the encryption it uses, you'd understand one of the main reasons why your idea wouldn't work.

Anonymous - Sun Mar 06, 2005 7:28 pm
Post subject: Frankly...

And frankly i dont care if the game ported is an old copy of the subspace protocol or the new continiuum...

I just wanna play an old classic with network support without having to connect via live.

I dnt know what sort of new features this continium has, but when i played subspace back in the day it seems just fine to me.

I am sure you could find alot of users who would be willing to play an outdated version of subspace if it was on a console.

Solo, all i ever said was i want a clone of subspace, my above post says, i dont care what version or how secure it is.

Heh if you played on a VIE protocol server you'd be up against 30 other ships with infinite energy and items and the ability to teleport at will.

I'm not saying it's not feasible, if someone was dedicated they could create another new protocol, but it just won't happen.

Anonymous - Sun Mar 06, 2005 7:37 pm
Post subject: Oh yeah....

Oh well...

Maybe PriitK will read this and find some minion to do it.

I found no prior posts anywhere about porting subspace to the xbox.

Considering this game is hacked, and the xbox is one of the most hacked consoles of all time i thought it would be a nice combination.

Well thanks for your feedback guys

why dont you actually tell the loser how to do it?
just get linux up and running on the xbox and use it to host a windows guest operating system in a VM, and run continuum inside that.
piece of cake :)

You openxdk does not support networking, as on the front page it says, "Networking is currently not supported."

The protocol is a nonissue since you have an open source server (ASSS) capable of handling any protocol you code for it. You don't need to use Continuum security, and attempting to reverse engineer it would be in violation of the EULA of Continuum.

Which is wierd because making Continuum in the first place is a violation of the SubSpace EULA.

Getting back to the original post and I didnt read everything so I'm not sure if this has all be said yet. You don't just write software for xbox and expect that you are going to get it to run on the system, you need specific encryption codes. The codes are a large set of numbers much like Continuum's encryption, they are needed before xbox will even think about running any software. Xbox is a stripped down version of windows 2000 with some ball-busting security rutines to make sure that only Microsoft approved dvd games are allowed to run on the system. I explained all this to the retard who made this topic but he still insisted on posting a duplicate topic on every single SS forum he could find. It wont happen, so tell this guy to go find a corner to cry in. Linux was installed on xbox with use of some nasty windows 2000 holes, I believe some code was injected into a font that Xbox uses and the code is then run so the cd can be booted and linux installed.
