Hook Starts the Azlok Chronicles -------------------------------------- 0. Weekly Update Posted to Majik Users -------------------------------------- Well after posting eight of these updates to the design list Namhas decided that the users need to be informed. This week's issue will be the first to be posted to the majik-users@majik3d.org mail list. Please note that many of the articles in the updates are directed at the designers so they might be written in a strange a context. ------------------------------------ 1. NEW 0.4.0 Majik3d Client is Out!! ------------------------------------ YES! YES! YES!! I am happy to say that the developers have finished the new client. I would like to congratulate the hard work of Harum, Namhas, Dazzt, and the 3D designers who put it all together. Good work guys. You kick ass. So with no further interruptions the brand spanking new client can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/majik3d/ Be sure to read the README file in the above ftp and read the official announcement here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/news.html -------------------------------- 2. Jicra IRC Java Client Applet -------------------------------- Namhas has created a cool little java applet called Jicra. It allows people to connect to the #majik chat room with only a web browser. To use Jicra for majik chat just click on the chat link found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/index.html It is the last link on the right hand side of the page at the top, but be sure that your browser has java and javascript enabled. Otherwise it won't work. Jicra is open source and therefore free to download to use and modify as you wish. The source and packages can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/jicra/ ---------------------- 3. Two New Screenshots ---------------------- Two new screen shots have been posted on the web site. They are taken with the new 0.4.0 client so if your like me without a 3D card and live vicariously through other peoples screenshots these are a must see. They can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/screenshots.html -------------------------- 4. Brethel Sketched an Orc -------------------------- Brethel, after a long pause, has sketched an orc. It looks awesome, and it gives some much needed insight into the what the orcs of Majik are like. The sketch can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/gallery.html Its the one titled "orc" under the race thumbnails. ------------------------- 5. Todo List From Beregar ------------------------- Beregar has come up with the great idea of putting a todo list in his open ftp directory. It can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/beregar/TODO.txt This todo list is such a good idea that Hook (that's me) has done the same thing in his ftp. I recommend that all designers adapt this practice so there is an easy reference to see what each of us is doing. Hook's todo list can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/hook/TODO.txt ----------------------------------- 6. Hook Starts the Azlok Chronicles ----------------------------------- Hook has started a work of fiction written in the voice of Azlok the Daemon. The Chronicles are the spermatic sometimes daily journal of Azlok's life and exploration of the world of majik. They are a good place to get an idea of the workings of the majik world and are more entertaining to read then the stark descs of the world book. There will be new episodes of the Chronicles every so often in hook's open ftp directory and he hopes to write at least three new entries a week. The Chronicles can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/hook/chronicles/ Until next week, Hook hook@majik3d.org
