It's sTYLe (the coder) writing here. Well, why 95% you might ask. Let me try to explain. Bad news first, there will NEVER be a 100% version of this slideshow, since I've deleted all sources (Length of Main-Source without any includes: 159.277 Bytes) a few seconds ago, because Zoltrix told me a few days ago, that the slideshow project has been cancelled and I'm kinda angry about that. I started to code the slide in June 1999 and at the beginning I was really motivated, because I really liked (and still like) Wade's marvellous pictures. In July '99 I had a hd-crash caused by Thrill Kill (Hi Ferox :D) and lost over 25o MB of Sources including the Innocence Source. But coders never give up ;) and so I started to code from scratch again. Wade promised to draw a font for the text writer but sadly it never reached my hands. Same for the music, Blue Silence wanted to compose a new module, but as with the font, I never got it... Furthermore I never got a real help from the group, so often I asked for ideas etc. but ... 'Silent screams, causing no reaction' [Project Pitchfork rules!]. I had to do all the slavework myself, f.e. I had to come up with an effect for each picture and for me being just a coder this was the most time consuming (and hardest) part. Ok, it's not the code that makes a slideshow good, it's the pictures of course and Wade did a quite good job to say the least, but I think that crappy code can ruin the best slide and so I tried my best to make it as good as possible, thinking out effects for each picture etc. And now, after all the work I had with it, the whole project is cancelled... This is something I can't accept, therefore I'm releasing it on my own! I decided to release it under the FACTiON label though, because it was originally meant to be a FACTiON release. As said before, this is not the real final version, so there are some parts missing/incomplete. Here's a small checklist: Language selector part: incomplete, motivation lost! Greetings part:completely missing, no support from the group, motivation lost! Music loops too early:it's not the final tune, no support from the musician :( If you find any bugs -- bad luck, because they'll never be fixed! Ok, enough crap talk from me, I don't want to bore you anymore, enjoy Wade's pictures! Greets and messages from sTYLe are flying out to: Wade:Too bad you've left the scene :( Great pixel work dude! Btw, what about the Christina Applegate piccie you promised to draw? :) Finally you got your slideshow you've been waiting for so long. If you're reading this, please contact me! Zoltrix:I hope you won't kill me for releasing the slide, but I had to do it! Anyway, always nice to chat with you, even though you don't accept dcc-chats anymore :( Galahad:Where are you hiding these days? I miss your releases! Seems like another old-school legend is lost :( Sniper:Still working on that 'Apano Sin' release? :-P Hope to meet/chat ya soon! Adkins:'It will be ready this weekend for sure.' :D Cracking that f*cking 'Apano Sin' was a really neat experience :) Do ya still wanna steal my source? HEHE :P And btw, 'Shut up, he doesn't come from japan, coz it was Spider/D-Tect!' :-O Thanks for hardware support! A5oo powah forevah ;) B/dCS:What about that DCS musicdisk? ;) Enjoy your time in the U.K.! rAVER/dCS:Joymoney is the most expensive country in the world, at least when it comes to GSM-phones :D Some more greets go out to Saint 4Play Ixxy Thaler pSB Digiman Axl^HF Boheme Nighthawk and to all that I may have forgotten! This release is dedicated to the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life! Nice to have you back in my life after 5 years! I really hope, I won't lose you for a 3rd time... This one is for you, sweet Jacky! 'It took me long to recognize, what's behind those empty eyes...' Contact me for any reason at: sTYLe_xTREK@GMX.de P.S.:To say it with Galahad's words: This is NOT an (official) FACTiON release! [I don't even know, if FACTiON is still alive or not...] Peace to all of you! Enjoy your life, you only have one! sTYLe, 11-Sep-2ooo, 21:23:25
