about upcoming csm 1.0

like some of you may have noticed, there was a delay in the release of csm 1.0
it was due to a computercrash, and later i went nuts on stage and wrecked my arm
anyway... i'm recovering now, and started to fix the stuff that is broken (except the arm.. that's up to nature)
i discovered a bug in csm, and so did some other people (with the 1999 mod) i read.
the .cmi file structure in csm 0.9x is pretty simple, and primitive.
it just packs the whole carset into a wad file (hey.. i had the procedures anyway..) and later it adds compression to it.
i guess i wrote it when i was tired, because it does a lousy job.
anyway.. for the people who want to play the 1999 carset..
it decompresses the 'wad' file into a tmp file, and then it crashes to desktop while unpacking the 'wad' file.
hooray!
hooray?!
yes! hooray! there's some good news here
the decompressing part works like it should be working.
the unpacking, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't for some reason i still have to figure out (which i'm not going to, because it has been re-written anyway for csm 1.0 :P )
sooooooo.... what to do ZaZ? what to do?!
well... there's this program called gp4master which doesn't work with wad files the way it should (no offence to anyone)
i can't remember what it did wrong, but it does something wrong, which isn't that big of a deal.
anyway. i've seen 3 programs which work with wad files in the correct way at this moment.
CSC, WadUpdater, and Easywad.
They all may have bugs.. i don't know (the last probably has :P) BUT!
They all are useless with this problem!
So why are you that optimistic ZaZ? why!?!
Well... remember i was talking about Gp4master? guess what?
yes! it does the job!
hail hail writer of that app..
rename the tmp file to a wad file and extract it to ehm.. somewhere.
copy it to your carset folder and you're ready to go.
That was easy huh? i should be working at Microsoft

I know its kinda risky to give a release date for CSM 1.0 in 'public' so i'm not going to do that
But, good news is that i gave one to some people, so that means i have a date picked (which is a good thing)
Remember me telling CSM 1.0 was going to be the last version?
I lied! ha-ha-ha!
yes, CSM 1.5 is probably released very short after 1.0 which is a lot better/safer, but doesn't bring you extra features.
It has a unfinished plugin system, which allows you to add to mess with the memory of windows etc..
to be brief.. good fun
but though it is waiting in the line for execution [evil laugh] mwhuahahahah [/evil laugh]
and no.. i'm not drunk.
i'm just thinking out loud right now (i do that sometimes)

yours sincerely,
ZaZ
:P

wow what an epic to read............... so what was the point again?! so csm 1.0 and 1.5 is out soon

So we'll get CSM 1.0 and 1.5 at the same time?
A double x-mas presents, maybe?

In reality, doesn't matter who's right but most important is who's left.

I know its kinda risky to give a release date for CSM 1.0 in 'public' so i'm not going to do that

hum ....... he´s not releasing csm 1.0 .....

Oh yeah, he will release it.
He just not give us the release date. Zaz, no more tricks please.

ZaZ... you should write a novel, you know?? :D
Hail the CSM creator! The tool that saved my small hard disk of getting full of separate gp4 installs :D

Now ZaZ, get some tranquilizers and enjoy x-mas. Must be a burden living with a split personality like that. Reminds me of a character from a story about a ring...
Great to hear the csm thing is going well.

ZaZ, it's obvious to me that you miss our icq therapy sessions
Contact me and i'll get rid of the demons for you so you can have your peace again.

Can you email or icq me about my fantasy mod? When csm 1.0 takes a little longer to develop, then i'll have to go with 0.9.7.2.

Re: arm
Can you still play the almighty guitar? That would heavily suck if you can't.

Haha, very good reading Zaz
I don't use CSM YET, but I will :p

do you ever see some daylight? hmm, what do i care? :p
I've heard that mayor pc-usage can give RSI, but i wrecked arm...??? That is massive RSI
Nice to hear things are going forward though...



WYSIWYG / F1: Overtaking has become a strategy!

Erwin he got the wrecked arm from playing guitar on stage. He probably wanted to impress some chicks on the front row

zaz plays his guitar so fast and so brutal that his arm got wrecked? hmm i have to check that out then sometimes :P

I've ruined my voice (repeatedly) and a bass guitar on stage but never my arm. You must really be an idiot once you're up there!





[1991] [2003] [2004] [gp2 world series]

Maybe he did an interesting dive or jump on the stage and the stage was beerspilled and he slipped when landing ???

Or he fell after stepping on a banana :p
Probably something very ridiculous caused that, it´s always like that :D

:D
I decided to attack my bassplayer for no reason. I wanted to stick my guitar in his neck.
Everything fine so far, but he resisted. So we struggled a bit and before i knew i was flying and landed next to the stage.
It was fun though.. the crowd stopped with the pogo and all wanted to know if i was alright I was still breathing, but it was the end of the concert :P
I still can't play at this moment, but its looking good, and i can comfort myself with the fact i bruised his neck
Oh yeah.. and no chicks involved. I was blinded by the lights anyway :P
Max.. I answered your questions on the gp4.gamer forum
