My family and I don't have one computer that can run the steam software, and we don't have the money to buy a new one. (old G4 mac) I'll try some more stuff with my PS3, but I can't promise anything. I'm really sorry guys I'm holding this whole thing up.

no no no! It's quite alright. We just need an alternative for the 3 of us to talk at the same time. I'm ok with AIM... kind of :l

Tronzilla Wrote:How about the Tron Sector live chat? Does that work on your guys's computers?

I've... uh.... actually never heard of it.... l:

TRON.dll Wrote:Also, I just had a great idea: How about the map takes place inside the Encom system, with the MCP instead of GLaDOS?

I don't think we should recycle the MCP. It seems like a good idea, I know, but we should try and do something our own. (also I think we're using the Legacy art style, but I can't be sure)

and by the way, if you want in-game chat, download X-fire. It works like a charm.

If we want it to be canon, we could say that Flynn was experimenting with teleportation within The Grid, and re-purposed the MCP for the same reason Aperture created GLaDOS. Forgot about X-Fire. I downloaded it a VERY long time ago, but almost instantly forgot about it and never touched it again, lol. The Tron-Sector live chat should work fine, as long as we don't run into a group of people roleplaying or whatever. X-Fire might be a nice alternative, in that case. Quick question: Does the PS3 version of Steam let you type with a USB keyboard? On a related note, I just found my notes for my Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Disc Wars map and realized I stopped working on it right before I finished it. I might try to finish that first as sort of a refresher course in Hammer (since I haven't used it in forever).

I thought we'd established that the villian was a User. <:/

in hindsight, live chat is so inactive we could probably use it. :/

Sounds good. Saturday would be best because I don't have to do anything that day. any times that would be best?

Got it. Also, are any of you "fctbarnes" on Steam?

Alright, there's a guy on deviantart who wants to help. Upon request, I sent him the story we worked out so far. This is the exact message I sent him:

"Okay... this could get messy.

You play as a program named... Dammit, I forgot. You have just been created to run through "The Program Routing Engine" With your "Subroutine" both of which made by your user. (ideas above pending) You go through each chamber, defying de-resolution, and defeating Grid Bugs (in place of turrets) during one chamber, your user leaves for a bit. during this time, another program (gender pending) appears and tells you (generally) that things are not all as they seem... and he hints that there is some illegal hacking going on. User comes back, and realizes that the program had just been talking to you, he tries to play it off like it's nothing, but he acts suspicious. Later, he tries to kill you (like in portal) and friend program appears through a wall panel to help. You portal where he is, and after some shock from your user, friend program explains. He is using the (insert here) and you to hack computers. You need to go in, and collect the history files of him doing so. Then he will help you send them to his user, who will help from there. After going through the big stuff and getting the history files for proof, you enter the I.O Tower (as seen in the first tron) Friend program appears and tells you that he has established connection with his user. You try to go in the middle to deliver the files, but a new, evil program (the boss) appears, created by your user. you fight it, and deliver the files, your evil user is defeated, good user gets files to report him, and all is well. A mysterious door opens, revealing a swirling blue digital vortex. friend program goes in. He is heading back to his system, and he welcomes you to come with him. you step forward into the bright blue unknown, flash of bright light.... CREDITS. (please ignore bad grammar and give some criteria, and ideas. (this is a very rough telling) we are open to change anything."
