A convo i had with adam pletcher from V
I just thought i might post this as i had this conversation with adam just before he went offline.....it might answer a few questions it might open a few new ones!

Avenger: (12:27 PM) hello could i please speak to you for a momment?
Scourge: (12:27 PM) whats up.
Avenger: (12:28 PM) well i was wondering if you would be able to help me slightly with a problem i have
Scourge: (12:28 PM) depends, what's the problem already?
Avenger: (12:29 PM) ok u know when u made your freespace models in 3d studio max u made a plugin to convert the files to P3D i think...well i found the plugin at the outrage site (i hope it is the correct one) but i cant find the BSPGEN program and i was wondering if u might be able to give me a copy of it?
Scourge: (12:30 PM) Outrage's format is completely different than ours.  Even if I could find those tools at this point, I couldn't release them.  Sorry.
Avenger: (12:30 PM) how come?
Avenger: (12:31 PM) if u dont mind me asking?
Scourge: (12:32 PM) We have nothing to do with Interplay anymore, and I wouldn't even know where to start asking permission.
Avenger: (12:32 PM) o are they interplays tools then?
Scourge: (12:33 PM) No, but the FreeSpace game is.  I don't have time to explain the publisher/developer relationship in detail, but we can't just throw tools out there.
Avenger: (12:34 PM) o ok nevermind then. that is not really that much of a problem but it would have made my life easier. oh by the way when would u be able to make that MVE file for me i did upload the files but i havent seen any result from it
Avenger: (12:37 PM) and also i was wondering if the source code for freespace or freespace 2 will ever be released or is it once again down to interplay?
Scourge: (12:38 PM) I had some sound conversion problems with that MVE, and haven't had time to look into it yet.

I don't know anything about FS source code releases, or how likely they would are.
Avenger: (12:39 PM) ok that is no problem.
Avenger: (12:40 PM) ok well i havent got that much of a hurry for it but it would be cool if u could do it sometime for us
Avenger: (12:41 PM) i dont know if u want to answer this but one of my friends would like to know "if the texture resolution of fs2 is limited to 256*256 from api properties" i have no idea what he means would u be able to enlighten me and my friend

Leave him alone, this is interesting.

At least this way we've gotten some answers out of Volition - everythings been kinda quiet around the whole FS area (no fault of Volitions) but it's nice to know where the community stands. At this stage my hope for the source code is low, Adam implied that Volition is becomming increasingly separated from Interplay and if that is the case then there'll be no reason at all for Interplay to feel compassionate enough to allow the source codes release. TA, if you can get anymore out of Adam it'd be very interesting - as the only other most direct route to the V Crew is to ask the people over at VW, and they're busy as it is I think. Thanks for posting this up on the forums.

Can we try and keep it on topic please? You don't get a topic directly related to V around here very often so lets try and give it some life before it turns to wet paper mush, thanks.

And I get blamed for something BA does. Right...   Rest assured, if you pull anything like that, then you can a) fight like an honourable person and put up your own personal flagship for download so I can tear it apart or b) fight like a coward and take potshots at me   In which case I'll just have to tear apart your renders instead.  

Oh, and to keep it on-topic? Aim low, avoid disappointment. Just for sanity's sake, I'm not going to expect or hope for anything out of this.

Setekh: True unfortunatelly, ah well. Perhaps if more information arrives from V people might take it seriously. If it goes to OT I'm owning it though.

TA: Re-register under "Avenger" and email me when you've done so. I'll arrange for your post count to be restored (Note this doesn't mean everyone can go and do this - but it's a small request and a simple one to fulfill).
