Thanks Fellas

but I'm never really gone I'm always lurking

here in the forums during my lunch breaks.

Also, a Thank you to Eric for this one, I was originally writing a pimp wars from scratch and he came across the source for it, and passed it along

which Dope wars is this based on? (ive seen at least 3 versions online)

**Kamjin** · April 30th, 2005, 03:03

It's from some odd DOS version instead of the usual loan shark you start out oweing "Vinnie" from the start.

Original exe+source is here if u want a look.. it's written in early Borlandish C..

LOL ask me i can most of the time find sources that are portable. I tell you guys i know sources well i just dont know how to port and if i did i would be doing a good job at trying to get it to work on DC. Now i do know all have jobs and have a life and the thing with my port requests its sparetime work i didnt expect people to run out and do it. Its your choice with what you do with them but dont run over me saying "I WANTED YOU GUYS TO DO THEM". Not saying anything in anger but i am thinking that i dont get respect cause you think i have no respect for the coders and think there lives are based on just making games. The thing is i know you all have lives and there is many things other then video games and making video games in life. Have a good night and i hope you all enjoy Kamjins release.
