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. #warez #bbs #hacking #thescene

caligari truespace 4.0 source for win9x

as released by the scene group Revolt in 1998

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

see the instructions in revolt.nfo for extra help on compiling

This is the source code made by Caligari! YES this IS the REAL SOURCE!! All of it! All of the trueSpace4 source code has been made in MSVS97 I'm pretty sure it will work with MSVS98, although if you don't have VS9X I would suggest getting it if you would like to use this code..

Im ersten Moment fällt einem nichts auf wenn man auf der Startseite von #EZTV landet. Aber sobald man nach etwas älteren, und ich meine hier ne Woche, Torrents sucht werden die Lücken bei den Magnetlinks immer größer. Hier scheinen die Rechteinhaber eine Taktikt anzuwenden und nicht die komplette Seite löschen zu lassen sondern haben es irgendwie geschafft die Betreiber dazu zu zwingen Massenhaft Torrent- & MagnetLinks zu löschen.😞

@GossiTheDog Defending those scumbags is the last thing I'd do... But if running warez or hacking forums is a no-no, a lot of people in the security industry today might have a problem.

I remember #warez on efnet being quite busy in 1994 and you'll find a lot of those teenagers in respectable infosec positions today...

thanx to the @eventphone #38c3 video i got an intense #USRobotics Flashback:

Back in the days i got ein US Import of an USR #Courier HST #modem with the properitary 9600 HST Protocoll.

Comming from 1200/Baud it was like inhaling the future ...

MyF 1st Highspeed Connection was to an #alphaflight BBS called #Airport

so trading & releasing #Warez began ;)

It was a beast of a Modem and for me it was a mirical, when US Robotics released later ein #firmware Update for 14.4 and later 16.8 kbit/s

detpupe with his latest USR Modem
