Now LM5 will make use of features implemented in FS_Open. It will not be a requirement though. In LM6 however, I wish to move on to a completely FS_Open campaign.

But what do the people think?

I will give you a bunch of beer if you make it playable for original FS.

SPECULAR LIGHTNING!

You're in a miniscule minority there, TopAce mate.

[SadisticSid]

FSOpen has gotten to the stage where it's no longer a minority that can run it (nearly) as well as the original FS2 EXE. I say go for it - Inferno R2 will probably be a FSOpen only campaign, so you're not alone.

and what's up then? Do you think I will ever use FS_open and the campaigns made for it?

[karajorma]

TMA, SoR and more recently MindGames have all been moved over to FS2_open for the added feature. Once people start using the new persistant variable features I can't really see many FREDders being willing to stick with the retail version.

I am a living example here. But you cannot see me, at most read my posts

TopAce, what everyone is thinking but not actually saying is that very soon no-one except you will be touching retail FS2 with a barge pole. Good luck with your FREDding, cos to be quite honest I don't see how you are going persuade people to look at a non-Open project by the time you get around to releasing it.

We mod designers will make you use it.

Actually depending on how long we have to wait until it's released most of us will simply play it on FS2_Open anyway and then laugh at how dated it seems in comparison to campaigns that have taken full advantage of the SCP.

Top Ace I know that you might not feel it's worth converting your campaign over to FS2_Open if you are nearing completion and that's fine but it's ridiculous to expect others to hold back (especially a completely new mini-campaign like LM6) just because you seem to have some sort of prejudice against FS2_Open.

magatsu1 : FS2_Open is the name for the Freespace2.exe coming out of the Source code project. Check the forum if you haven't already and you'll see that they've included a huge number of improvements to FS2 that make it look less like a 5 year old game and much closer to something brand new.
