If OTS is dead, maybe we can start a new project to create a game in the spirit of CnC? Get members outside of the cnc community involved, and maybe use an already existing graphics + physics + AI engine to speed up the development process. It's a shame if this doesn't lead anywhere.

Personally, I wish for more modding possibilities, and with the newly announced DLL project I felt that the void was filled.

But I'm perhaps not the best person to argue about this issue.

I was wondering about OTS, too. Since I heavyly liked the Idea...

Well, how to help then, keeping OTS alive? Is OTS already Open-source? I mean - if everyone who stumbles upon OTS and likes the Idea - and is capable to do something for its benefits - could help out only abit, itd keep OTS at least alive...

Well OTS does stand for Open Tberian Sun the Open Source Tiberian Sun Engine. Correct?

I will see if I can get some momentum going. But it may take a week or so to see any progress. I will talk to Jad about what is going on, and if he is still up for running it (too late in the night for that now). I hear that he is busy with other projects atm. I will also PM some guys to find out if they are still interested in helping out. We especially need graphics artists.

I presume the first goal will be to have pathfinding working and units 'sloping' and rotating across the terrain accordingly, whilst the graphics artists build the menu design. I still remember renegade's advice from a while back on milestones.

They can work...like opacity maps. just have the animation cycle on a plane or groups of planes intersecting each other for each direction.

...similar to how grass is usually done in most 3d games. #Tongue...yea its not perfect..though. and tratos is right no need for .shp files..since the image will be an animated texture.

Will this feature a fluid lighting system similar to diablo 2.

Anyone who has played Populous: The Beginning can see how sprites can work in a 3D game. Basically, its just a plane that faces the camera at all times and displays a different texture depending on which way it's facing relative to the camera.

I spoke to Jad, and he is quite busy atm with other things. Also, I don't think I will have much time to help out as well I'm afraid. At the end of the day, I don't have many 'free' hours to do as I please.

It is going to take a hell-of-alot of motivation launching this project off the ground. Countless hours spent coding for, well, basically the fun of it - however, what happens when it doesn't become fun?

Just think of where it will get you, if you want to become a programmer as a job you could use this as a credit and im sure several others could help and as for motivation do it for the ladies Smile

Being geeky won't get you laid, seriously, been there, done that, it doesn't work.

Geeks and girls mix like oil and water.

Being smooooth on the other hand, is quite beneficial in that regard, with a hint of intelligence to spare so you don't look like the average moron or leisure suit larry type.

If this engine reaches progress to the point where you need graphics, I suggest that you, for starters, ask permission to use unit and structure renders from the TS:Rising mod for C&C3.
