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."

: Ah well, I agree that this project needs completing first

: Another thought that occurs to me is, rather than using
: something like UT and such, what about building
: something up from an OpenSource engine, like
: CrystalSpace. That way you could write something that
: can parse a lot of the original marthon data [physics
: files, maps, sounds] and then use custom models and
: enhanced textures. Not being tied to enother engines
: format for files would make thing much easier, I would
: think. Of course I have no idea how harder that would
: be [well, I can guess it would be hard...] - and I am
: sure people have thoght of this before, just saying
: what I think
Marathon IS opensource, as Aleph One. The whole idea behind M:R is that it's not tied to an older engine's file formats, namely Marathon's. Marathon's engine was top notch in its day, but that was 10 years ago. The file formats, particularly map files, simply lack the basic support for modern graphics. They also don't lend themselves toward modern physics engines.
