Jamie T<p>Going through old warez scene BBSes is so much fun and a really great distraction from life at the moment. The best things I've found (aside from the ascii art of course) have been the messages they send to each other when they find out that an informant is lurking their boards. Surely one of the originating moments of what it means to identify a poser online. <a href="https://aoir.social/tags/warez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warez</span></a> <a href="https://aoir.social/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bbs</span></a> <a href="https://aoir.social/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hacking</span></a> <a href="https://aoir.social/tags/thescene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thescene</span></a></p>
vga256<p>caligari truespace 4.0 source for win9x</p><p>as released by the scene group Revolt in 1998</p><p>this is not my release - just my archival work. the source for truespace has been hiding in plain sight for 25+ years. having exhausted all my known avenues for finding an "official" seal of approval from the publisher, community-based preservation is the only possibility now.</p><p>the story: apparently someone from Revolt went to caligari's public FTP server in the late 90s, and found that an employee had left the full source for TrueSpace 4 in a /pub folder. it was released on BBSes and on IRC in the late 90s, and disappeared from the internet soon after.</p><p>doing some research on TrueSpace - truly the best piece of 3D modelling/rendering software aside from Bryce in the 90s - i stumbled upon a brief mention of the source code in an ancient usenet post. tracking down the release involved searching the *exceptional* scenelist.org NFO database, and trying to figure out the exact filename of the warez release.</p><p>SCiZE, the scenelist.org owner, did not have the files on his BBS. fortunately, he knew exactly where to find the release: it was buried in the massive 500GB "ibm-wgam-wbiz-collection" on IA. knowing the exact filename made it so much easier to track down in there!</p><p>so, have some fun with it. this doesn't belong on github or any publicly scrapable source site. just download it and let's see who can manage to compile it first :)</p><p>see the instructions in revolt.nfo for extra help on compiling</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/ts4src" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.org/details/ts4src</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/warez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warez</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>win95</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>softwarePreservation</span></a></p>
