Dagger, Starlancer is already covered if you haven't noticed

As for when decisions are made? *shrugs* No idea, nothing to do with me! Suggest you email BakedPotato, Eraser and Arcon with regards to this.

anything is fine with me as long as it's not gory or bloodthirsty, otherwise my school's Webmarshall will block the site.


Jesus is the answer!

The Independence War serries is fine with me. Just one little thing I should mention... Independence War I will NOT work on windows XP I am getting edge of chaos very soon and will try that (if it works on ME.. who knows)

would love to see a patch for th first I-War (as it is usally called) game though

To kill is to live, the more firepower the better!

How about:

THE UNREAL SERIESE
(i.e. Unreal Tournument, Unreal Tounument 2004, etc)

and

Perimiter

I resubmit my vote for giving more resources to our community's own Openlancer project. I withdrew my vote for it back on page 3 when it flew apart at the seams about a week ago. Now its back on track for the time being and hopefully it will stay that way.

Also might a TLR overhaul be possible to add more features for small development teams? Something like Source Forge for modding? You guys already host the mod downloads and the forums, so adding a DAM (digital asset management) server or maybe a heavily tweaked CVS/SVN server to support graphics and audio with meta data.

Reason I ask is the other day I spent about 4 hours looking for a free DAM server that runs on WebDAV and SQL for Openlancer. The selection sucks, all thats available is source code management like CVS, Subversion (SVN), LAMP based groupware packages, Dspace, and some other WebDAV systems but none of them support thumbnails or previews for non-text content. The only server packages available cost thousands of dollars or are no better than Subversion. I know Openlancer could really benefit from having a solid DAM server and so could just about any mod team.

A project registry with project summary, active project tracking, and help wanted board would be very nice. Moving the tutorials over to a wiki would be good too. The first project on the list could be developing a DAM server for TLR, a bit beyond the scope of a modding project but maybe you could build on Subversion with extended meta data and a means to automatically generate thumbnails of screen shots. Another possibility could be to standardize user created content licenses to specific game/genre license listing and an open source license like LGPL/GPL, so when someone adds content to the DAM database they have to note the license its under, then add an option to search by license. The public licenses could be pulled together into a special listing of collective community content that can be used in developing mods and games. It would also seek to directly address the copyright issues rather than quietly skirting it.

So, in short, my vote is add increased support specifically for Openlancer, add more tools for free open community development for mods, add support for free open community open source game development, and at the same time add support for gaming communities for all non-FPS non-pay-to-play 3D space games.

You should cover Wing Commander. There seems to be a lot of Wing Commander stuff still going on.
