Arcanumalive Project

[Crypton]

Hehe, if you read a few posts after the main post, you'll see that people dont want multiplayer... Also its really too soon to talk about multiplayer

 

Anyway, it will be easier for me to do some mp stuff, I already made a few tools that uses winsocks so when it will be needed, it can be done...

[Crypton]

Why triple post ? Also I do not understand to anything... ;) sorry...

beforehand i want to say "sorry" for my fickin bad english. I realy bad speak english, but a try say: maybe gamers ourselves choose what they want?

 

don't you mind if I connect to a , conversation?

[Crypton]

Hi! Sure, anybody could join to this discussion... and also any suggestions and ideas are really welcomed.

 

So if you want something, just ask here maybe other members will agree with your suggestions = increasing possibility that you will succeed :D hehe

[Terror]

oh, very well, thank you!

[Crypton]

Tu Crypton:

So and if to us to make on a basis, an open code of a cursor 3D?

 

 

Did you used any translator ?:P Because I do not understand to anything... cant you just write that in russian language ? I could translate that better

[Koorac]

I would be willing to help you with a new Arcanum engine. I think Java would be a good choice for the engine.

 

Why Java?

-Platform independent (Windows, Linux, Mac, *BSD): don't even have to recompile to run on a different OS

Even the openGL-binding is platform independent

-fast language (only marginally slower than C++) , so it can be used for a game

-Garbage collection: no memory leaks

-Most used programming language: lots of (open source) libraries and fairly easy to find developers.

-object-oriented

-Much simpler and less error prone than C(++) (no way to corrupt the memory)

-Easy to learn: anyone who knows C++ can learn Java in one day

-can use any language that runs on the JVM for scripting

-Lots of tools that help you find possible bugs

-Great IDEs like Eclipse that really improve productivity

-Compiling only takes a few seconds not minutes or hours like C++

 

I would be able to convert all your code, but if you don't think this is good idea no problem.

i thinck, java not good. Mb you try use engine redactor? Also i want ask you, Crypton: you want make new game or transfigure reall Arcanum?

Hi! A brilliant idea, but its too soon for any translation.... this project is far from finished, but I did a real progress in last month so this project is much closer to Arcanum.

Anyway, be sure that I'll release a source codes when it will be finished... so you and other java programmers will have a chance to show their skill ;)

 

 

To Terror: You mean if I want to make a exact Arcanum clone ?

 

I want to remake arcanum, make a our own Arcanum engine... the most important is research, when I'll finish my research about arcanum objects, it will be possible to make a new arcanum engine completely

 

This new engine will be much better in these ways:

-Much more and easier modifiable

-Ability to add a new content, make expansion packs and other stuff

-Many new features, that will be added by requests....

 

Its only short description, but its much more complex... I'm lazy to write them all :D

[Terror]

oh? realy? it is a very good. But, as well apart from a a wrote a program code, you need a graphic casing. I am believe you, but 3d graphic may spoil the all game.

[Crypton]

Look at screenshots ;) graphical part is already solved....

[Koorac]

If I can help you somehow please say. I have a disassembler (IDA спам) and also some assembler knowledge (not very much though).

Sweet, thank you for offer Are you able to find a file format structure ? If you have a спам time, can you look at .TDF files ? every map has own .tdf file, it probably stands for "Terrain definition file", and it includes a information about map and sectors.

 

If you want to help with that, I can give you a more information about that....

[Terror]

Crypton, can you show the screenhoots of you proect?

Попробуй посмотреть первый пост, может чего и выйдет.
