[18:26:24] <Jave27> stringfellow: hey, nice catch on the models
[18:26:42] <stringfellow> doesn't fix everything though
[18:27:01] <stringfellow> The SkinnedMesh thing is still broken actually  :-)
[18:27:21] <@Thunderbird> hi Jave27 
[18:27:26] <stefand> Hi Jave27
[18:27:29] <stringfellow> Works for BF2 though: http://img330.imageshack.us/img330/6480/bf23fh1.png
[18:27:33] <Jave27> so... i have an announcement...  you might not like it...
[18:27:38] <stringfellow>  :-/
[18:27:41] <@Thunderbird> Jave27: to what degree does the shader code support VS2.0/PS2.0?
[18:27:52] <MadMerlin> you fixed all the bugs in wine?
[18:27:58] <Jave27> I just took a job with TG...  which prevents me from directly helping out wine now...
[18:28:10] <MadMerlin> oh...
[18:28:19] <@Thunderbird> why not for CW?
[18:28:20] <stefand>  :-(
[18:28:40] <Amorphous> i guess they didn't offer him a job  :(
[18:28:42] <Jave27> Thunderbird: they didn't offer.
[18:29:13] <[andras]> ehhh  :(
[18:29:38] <@Thunderbird> bah, jwhite should have been first  ;)
[18:30:16] <Amorphous> i guess it's not too late for a better offer...
[18:30:22] <@jwhite> Jave27, you didn't ask...
[18:30:27] <stringfellow> Hmm, that kind of sucks, from our point of view anyway, I guess
[18:31:23] <Jave27> yeah, i wasn't really looking for a job...  but after a lot of thought, I ended up deciding it would be a lot more fun than what i'm doing currently.
[18:31:34] <Jave27> and the pay is better
[18:32:10] <stringfellow> How much do they give you?  :-P
[18:32:18] <MadMerlin> i guess you won't beat transgaming to getting oblivion working now
[18:33:07] <Amorphous> Jave27: does your contract say you can't work on wine in your free time?
[18:34:04] <Jave27> doesn't directly say "Wine", but its implied.
[18:34:06] <MadMerlin> hmm
[18:34:49] <Jave27> stringfellow: Wine could accept it if it came from TG, not from me directly, though.
[18:35:02] <stringfellow> well yeah
[18:35:06] Amorphous throws some old harddisks at *.transgaming.com
[18:40:45] <Jave27> i'll be working on some things that aren't related for now.
[18:41:07] ara [n=ara@c-630de353.01-94-7673741.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] hat #winehackers betreten
[18:41:16] <stringfellow> wine code is still copyrighted though, and I'd think all the contamination / tainted / whatever stuff still applies
[18:41:22] <stringfellow> but ho well, really
[18:41:53] <@Thunderbird> I guess they wanted to stop wined3d from progressing quickly
[18:41:58] <MadMerlin> maybe tg just wanted to slow down wine
[18:41:59] <MadMerlin> yeah
[18:42:03] <Amorphous> stringfellow: it's a thing of: can you afford to go to court?
[18:42:12] <@Thunderbird> as the first couple of months or perhaps longer he can't work on d3d I think
[18:42:32] <Amorphous> Jave27: do you already signed the contract?
[18:42:49] <Jave27> yeah
[18:42:51] <@Thunderbird> there's useally a test period within it  ;)
[18:43:05] <stringfellow> Amorphous: Well, it's more... I don't think TG is stupid, so they must have thought of that
[18:43:12] <Amorphous> Thunderbird: yea but it's likely one sided  :)
[18:43:27] <Jave27> i won't be involved in the same stuff i was doing.
[18:43:54] <@Thunderbird> I don't know of the laws outside Europe, but here you can cancel without a reason in the first x weeks / 2 months or something like that
[18:44:33] <Amorphous> Thunderbird: i don't think a non-compete clause is even legal in europe
[18:44:35] <Jave27> I know the US is 3 days, but i'm not sure about Canada.
[18:44:51] <vitamin> Oh well that's too bad but I think most Wine development is headed other direction and not exactly games
[18:45:02] <kommerck> not right now
[18:46:15] <Amorphous> Jave27: may i ask what you get paid?
[18:46:42] <stefand> Jave27, maybe you can get an agreement which allows you to work on wined3d too, it would be just fair in exchange of all the other dlls  ;-)
[18:47:03] <@Thunderbird> or move to CW now that you can still cancel the contract  ;)
[18:47:04] <Jave27> i don't know if i can legally reveal it in public due to the public company status
