Animate Quake2 Characters On Your Desktop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the face-it-you're-not-exactly-finding-aliens dept.

Ant points to the new release of amor, called: amorMD2, "Amusing Misuse of Resources -- MD2 edition, which "reads Quake 2 character files and makes them dance around your desktop for your amusement. It will run on any Posix system which has KDE/Qt installed (ie, most Linux distros, BSD's, etc)."

    No replies yet and the site is already down.

    Is that a new record?

  2. Win Port? by FortKnox · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seeing as I'd have the most fun having these guys dance around while I'm at work, I must ask when a possible WinPort is available (I can't change my work OS, so don't bother asking why)? I'd read the site, but it got bombed in like 2 seconds of the posting.

    Also, isn't Q2 a touch old now? Do people make skins and stuff for Q2 anymore?

    Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!

    What about the version of doom that represented processes as enemys? Kill a marine and emacs dies! Kill the Baron and init dies!

    Well, I can't get to the site right now, But I'd be fairly sure that you can compile it under cygwin and XFree.

    For those who don't know, cygwin is an adaptation layer for POSIX programs to run under windows. And XFree has already been ported.

    Most apps compile reasonably easily. I use window maker as my wm for example.
