Re:Mozilla Removes Gab.com's Dissenter Plugin from addons.mozilla.org

Apparently the add-on sends every URL you visit to Dissenter: https://github.com/gab-ai-inc/gab-dissenter-extension/issues...
That's probably why it was removed.

They wanted to publish the original source code from the get go. Here's an article from mid 2016 talking about it: https://www.gamezone.com/news/system-shock-s-original-source...
>Since the instructions mention a PPC requirement to build on Mac, I'm assuming these are fairly old.
The game was released in 1994, so yeah, they are old :-)

The (partial?) source code for Thief 2, SS2 etc. was leaked a few years ago. You can still find it on the Internet.

I'm pretty sure CodeWarrior was able to deal with any kind of line endings: CR, LF, CR+LF.

>I have no idea if that version of the data would work with this version of the engine, though.
IIRC the Mac version doesn't use the original data files, but converted them to use the Mac's resource file format. And judging from a quick look at the source code it doesn't contain support for the original data files.
So: no, you'll have to use the Mac version's data files.

Given that there's a topic "hypercard_xcmd-xfcn" I'd wager they are. Archive.org is essentially emulating a Mac Plus that runs HyperCard in the browser.

Fun fact: The game Myst was created in HyperCard (at least the original Mac version was).

Spending a lot of time on the toilet is not healthy. Increase your fiber intake instead of deciding on a bathroom book :-)
