Free 2004 software for linux

LibsX (formerly LibSpeedX) is a C++ multi-platform set of basic libraries (like strings, ini files, etc) optimized for speed and made from scratch.

LibsXs goal is to make programs like games with basic libraries highly optimized for speed and without unnecesary checks or code, so when a project starts, the basic functions are very fast (in contrast to MFC: CStrings).

JabSync is a program intended to synchronize the rosters of two (or more) distinct Jabber accounts. It is written in Python programming language and uses the jabberpy library.
Main features:
- add something to remember servers (jabber/transports) that were previously entered
- add the ability to modify an XML file (not the configuration file) to save the list of jabber servers
- add the ability to modify the XML configuration file to add the transports notincluded in the defaut "Service Browse" of servers.

Python CD is a bootable CD based on Debian GNU/Linux and KNOPPIX.
The special thing about it is that it has lots of Python stuff!
Installable Python packages
In the top level directory of the CD is a directory python/, containing several packages of Python:
- Python for Linux - most Linux distributions include Python, so we dont provide it for them
- Python for Mac OS X
- Python for Windows, win32all extension
- Python for DOS - no maintainer yet, so we only provide an URL
- Python source code, if you want to compile it yourself
Ready-to-Use Python
On the bootable Linux system, Python is already installed and ready to run:

So what is Open Quartz? Basically, it is a replacement for the Quake 1 game data under the terms of the GNU General Public License. In addition, GPLed tools are developed to support developers of content for the Quake engine.

On 31 May 1996, id Software released the game Quake, which became a huge success. In 1999, the sourcecode for Quake was released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Thus peolple could improve the engine and use the engine to create their own games. Soon after the source release, the QuakeForge project was startet to create a cross-platform engine that would appeal to many people.

But having only a GPLed engine but non-free data files was unsatisfiyng so the QuakeForge team also startet Open Quartz.

Though being abandoned for many years, the project is going again thanks to new and devoted developers. But your help is still appreciated, there is a lot to do.

Why is having a free engine and non-free data so unsatisfying? Quake can still be easily aquired from the id Store and a Shareware Version is also available.

Yeah, thats true. Quake is a great game and we encourage everyone to buy it. Combined with up-to-date engines like Darkplaces, QuakeForge and Tenebrae its still a great experience. The reasons why OpenQuartz is developed lie not with the availability of Quake nor is Quake a bad game.

Its just that both a free engine and a free data set result in a lot more options and possibilities for developers and the end-user. Its for example not possible to ship Quake with any free Linux distribution like Debian.

But you can do that with OpenQuartz. Also, when you want to create an own game using one of the advanced Quake engines, you have to recreate everything from scratch. With OpenQuartz, you have a lot of free content already availabe which means a lot less work. Also, creating standalone games from existing Quake Mods is now easily possible thanks to Open Quartz.

Unreal Tournament 2004 BONUS MEGAPACK contains many missions for Unreal Turnament 2004.

This pack is our way of saying "Thanks" for purchasing UT2004. We hope you enjoy it!

This bonus pack includes everything you need to update UT2004 to the most current version, including the latest patch, and the content from the first (Editors Choice Edition) bonus pack for UT2004. You can install this bonus pack on any version of UT2004.

The MegaPack includes the following maps:

Assault:
AS-BP2-Acatana
Intense space fighting and on-foot combat combine in this recreation of the historic Skaarj invasion of the Acatana asteroid belt.

AS-BP2-Jumpship
Be part of the elite team that infiltrated and hijacked the first warp capable Jumpship.

AS-BP2-Outback
City slickers just took over the outback’s top brewery – get over there pronto and stop the production of their tasteless Zero Beer before it takes over Oz!

AS-BP2-SubRosa
Fight your way into a Liandri research facility and steal the original plans for the Redeemer.

AS-BP2-Thrust
A recreation of the infamous destruction of the Saturn IX rocket where a team of rebel fighters launched it unguided and half fueled into hostile waters.

CTF:
CTF-BP2-Concentrate
Tall spires tower over this Capture the Flag battle set on a derelict outpost deep in the Elorean Seas.

CTF-BP2-Pistola
This twin complex of concrete and metal combines the beauty of nature with the harsh lines of industrial architecture to create a fierce battle arena.

Deathmatch:
DM-BP2-Calandras
The courtyards of Calandras were once beautiful and welcoming. While the Temple’s interiors have been preserved, a new less-inviting use has been found for the exteriors.

DM-BP2-GoopGod
For centuries the Nali monks managed to keep this sacred burial ground hidden until Liandri satellites discovered the location during a routine satellite sweep. The area was mined, and what remained was converted into a tournament arena, corpses and all.

The content from the first bonuspack, also included, is:

Onslaught:
ONS-Adara
ONS-IslandHop
ONS-Tricky
ONS-Urban

Three new vehicles:

SPMA (Self Propelled Mobile Artillery)
The SPMA is a two person vehicle, with the driver controlling a long range artillery piece. Alt-fire deploys the spotter camera. Enemies will want to shoot down the spotter camera as soon as they see it, to keep the SPMA from raining destruction from afar. An AVRiL at the spotter camera will automatically re-direct toward the SPMA if it ever becomes visible to the AVRiL.

Paladin
The Paladin is a defense focused vehicle, with a powerful energy projectile cannon and a defensive shield alt-fire. Firing the cannon while the shield is deployed will heavily damage nearby players.

Cicada
The two-man Cicada ground attack bomber is a powerful weapon against ground targets, but is easy prey for Raptors. The pilot can fire missiles, or use the alt-fire to specify a target. While holding alt-fire, multiple missiles are loaded up, and released when alt-fire is released. These missiles will all track toward the specified target location, so the alt-fire can be used to avoid enemy fire while loading up missiles. The second seat in the Cicada is an energy beam turret located on the belly of the Cicada. Its alt-fire is chaff that can be used to confuse incoming AVRiLs.

Six new characters:

Mekkor (Skaarj)
Mekkor is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Severely injured in battle, he is testing his new cybernetic armor in the Tournament.

Skrilax (Skaarj)
Skrilax is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Alongside his brother Mekkor, he was severely injured while fighting the Iron Skull Clan."

Barktooth (Iron Guard)
Barktooth would rather rip an opponent to shreds with his bare hands than fight from afar. He also finds close range Flak shots very satisfying."

Karag (Iron Guard)
Before joining the Iron Guard, Karag honed his weapon handling skills during a long stint as a Marshall for the Terran Colonial Authority. His style and panache already have the the Tournament audience abuzz."

Kragoth (Necris)
After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Known as the Star Slayer, Kragoth is a dread Necris Phayder assassin. He is rumored to have single handedly killed the entire crew of an ICV Star Cruiser."

Thannis (Necris)
After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Thannis is participating to scout the competition."

ProxyTools is a package of Perl network utilities designed mainly to assist those whose Internet access is censored, unreliable, or otherwise damaged. Uncensored access is provided to any outside service required (Usenet News, Web browsing, IRC, Socks etc.). Setup requires installation of Perl and some modules; this is doable by even a novice MS Windows user with email instruction, allowing help to be provided to those inside these countries from expert users outside.

In pursuit of this rather non-specific goal, some interesting network utilities are already produced. We think the code is interesting in itself, useful in other areas, and would welcome contributions to the overall sum of ideas, concepts and ideals expressed in these tools.

The project is of interest to the following groups of people:

those who live in Internet censoring countries (or corporations, schools, universities) such as the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria), China, Burma, etc.
those who would wish to assist those in the group above.
those who are interested in Perl code dealing with many aspects of networks at the socket level, and transactions using HTTP proxies. One tool in this project offers a failover capability, and intelligent choice, between various censor-bypassing strategies and network paths, offering the user a robust, uncensored connection even in a low bandwidth, unreliable, packet filtered and proxy-poor environment.
those who administer the firewalls which do the censoring, and those who might be considering this.
those who are just curious about the current techniques used by the first group above.

Pathan is an XPath processing library. Pathan library is written in C++, and uses the Xerces-C DOM XML Parser by the Apache Foundation.

The Pathan project incorporates Pathan 1, implementing the W3C XPath 1 recommendation, and Pathan 2, implementing the W3C XPath 2 draft specification.

Pathan has been developed jointly by DecisionSoft, Sleepycat Software , Stylus Studio and Parthenon Computing .

Pathan 2 aims for XPath 2 compliance.

The beta release is conformant to the the November 2003 release of the specification. It conforms to the February 2004 publication of the W3C DOM Level 3 XPath working note.
