FreeSpace Forever

All right, all right, about time to get on this. I'm just gonna p1mp the threads from HLP here, and the intro, and the reason I'm doing it here is because I know that all of you here are best of the best. The elite.

In light of recent events I beleive it is time for.


The FreeSpace Forever Project to be started.

FreeSpace Forever is a new engine for the FreeSpace 2, using the same datafiles [or as close to them as possible... damn MVE copyright] that will be cross-platform, and naturally have more capabilities than the original.

We all know that I cannot write this alone, I don't even know where to begin on optimized OpenGL programming. So Progammers UNITE, let's bring new life to our beloved FreeSpace.



Now there are three threads to this thing.

[URL=http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6763]Thread 1. This one goes on for 4 pages talking about things that I have no idea about.[/URL]

[URL=http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6841]Thread 2. The announcment of the soon-to-be opening of a separate forum for the project[/URL]

[URL=http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6838]Thread 3. This is where/who you will be sending your "applications" to. I think that most of you veterans around here don't have a problem buffing up those resumes[/URL]

Just read it. I don't even have to brag about it since it probably is a project of dreams for every person that ever knew anything about how FS2 works. I just hope this thing goes off to a good start....

Have fun

(btw, this went into the General Discussion since it involves practically anyone who has 1337 and not-so-1337 skillz )

Yeah he did, I posted it here, since I was hoping that people would be able to divert all their hate they have for him, and maybe take a look at the soul of the project...

(not to mention that other people come here who don't go to TBP)

weren't some people going to do something for FS3? because we've just released the FS2 engine and they might want to use it..

what? there's nobody left? did the CS guru do it? thought so.

oh well...



just a thought, not a sermon.

eh, maybe, I'm gauging if there is serious interest.

Anyone want to run it? Out of all the posts in that 4 pages, 4 people have sent resumes in, dunno. I'm pretty good at judging whther or not something can happen from the quality of people who committ to it, and we don't have critical mass there.

Yes, it was Kazan's idea, I'm playing along for now.

Depends on who gets involved really. I personally have more than a few projects that I am working on, not sure I can even think about doing anything other than collecting resumes

Descent 4's trying to do something similar, I have issues with the approach they are taking, but they claim progress. Who knows, maybe it is doable.

I figure its worth a few hours of my time, see what, who, etc is out there.

Insult him here, HLP gets angry when you insult him there

Do I honestly have any idea whether this is worth the time and energy? Dunno.

Couple people have said "till I get something playable, I'm not going to get my hopes up."

Hopefully, I'll say something sensible to involved parties and something good can come out of it. Believe it or not, the interest so far has been more than Kazan. Matter of fact, he hasn't even sent in his resume
