In the Mood
June 1, 2008
A couple of fun videos on Youtube:
- Ki-43s and P-40s and Buffalos, all footage shot by a Japanese film crew. I don’t know the origin:

Now if that doesn’t get you in the mood for Target Rabaul 2, nothing will!
Progress Update
Almost got tool working on my OS X box, it started to download terrain files, then curl ran into a segmentation fault. Wade is working on it. Closer, but no cigar yet.
Codewise, I cleaned up some things, made the localization code more robust, and then started to implement a new UI, based on some code from Joemac. I realized it’s really not that hard to make a decently pretty interface. In fact, it reminds me of the old days (I won’t say good old days) of laying out web sites in HTML using tables. I should have a screenshot to post pretty soon. Still working on making Joemac’s code my code (ie, figuring out what the hell it’s doing)…
TR Web Site Getting an Upgrade
The TR Dev team is working on a new home for targetrabaul.com. It’s not up yet, so don’t go looking. Looks like the team has settled on Joomla, which is an open source system with a content management system in the background (as I understand it anyway). This should make it a lot easier for us to add new web content.
