Oldest GM game you remember ?

[GabrielCA]

Maybe I should update 2nd Terror Protocol to OS X as well. I don't remember if he ever actually finished that game.

I would suggest that, it would give the game a better home.
I tried carbonizing it with GM Carbonizer v1.1b2 and it worked.

[EDIT] The game application's size (original and carbonized) is approx. 13 MB (very close to the 16 MB limit !)

QoM was exactly 16 megs. I had to remove every scrape of template code from the engine to fit the limit.

Why don't you use GM Toolkit to compress the graphics?

Most of the graphics in 2TP are 3D photographic-type and well suited for compression with JPEG. That should cut the size down a lot.

[Silverwind]

I tried it out before the original release but there was a noticible reduction in quality.

I remember once exceeding that 16 MB limit and then not finding any solution for fixing my broken file.

That game appears to use line-art type graphics. You need to use PNG compression instead.

I can't seem to download it anymore. You should not use Mediafire or any of those places, they will delete your files.

the oldest thing I can think of was when I had a demo of GM for OS 7 and I made a simple card-based game where you're an ant...

Nah, Mediafire only delete your files if your account is inactive for two months, and never provided your files are being downloaded at least once a month. I recommend their fabtabulous services to everyone!

Anyways, here's the game: http://www.mediafire.com/?i2i0qtjlr5y

Wow, OS 7... That's far back.
I still have a working System 6 with HyperCard, which is somewhat similar to GM.

And guess what? They deleted the old QoM link.

If you need to host files you should get some GMG Hosting or I can even give you hosting on my server.

[GabrielCA]

And of course, the Web Archive doesn't archive these script-heavy sites.

[EDIT] Or the files you host on them

No, I deleted the old QoM link. It was old after all.

I'd love some file space actually. Ghost offered to host the roguesoft website a year or two back but I was reliant on Go Daddy's web page editor at the time. Now that I'm rather more efficient (and haven't got a bean for webhosting) I'd graciously accept the generous offer.

[GMG Mike]

Just let me know the domain name and I'll set it up. If you don't have a domain name then I can give you a subdomain maybe on macdevs.net.

[Silverwind]

Wow, thanks kindly Mike! roguesoft.com is the new address.

Speaking of hosting, Google will let you create a free page and upload files.

That's how I've been doing it.
