I'm new to modding free space. I have spent some time looking around the forums here to understand how the mod community here creates new things and it seems to be mostly editing/creating files in the VPs and using FRED.
I have something rather ambitious that I would like to attempt, albeit my coding knowledge is very basic. I want to create a persistent multiplayer game using the open freespace project. I know there is a multi-player mode already in the game and that it is limited to a handful or people and even uses the outdated IPX protocol. Is there capability to implement a tcp/udp system large enough to accommodate 100+ players or would this require massive overhaul?
Is there a place where I can find reference to functions in the FS code or maybe even a little overview document? I've searched but not found anything.
Much appreciated
