SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

The maps and most if not all the code would need to be redone for UT2004. The models and texture can be kept, but I think they need to be re-rigged and animated (not sure on this). The downside though, is that UT2004 allows for so much higher rez models, so it would be somewhat silly to use the M:R UT models in UT2004. Bottom line is, some of the artwork for M:R can be used as is in any modern game engine, but everything else would need to be redone...there's no shortcut. The goal is to finish this, and have something complete...not just another half-arsed MOD.
