anything is welcome at the momment even sandwich's spell checking, once we have a crew established we can delegate tasks and assign people to different tasks, so lets wait and see

If you're going to do this, you might want to use standard model types. I'm sure it would be easier for you guys if you just used Lightwave objects or .cob's instead of inventing your own, although I'm sure it would work, just take longer.

It looks like an ambitious project guys. Once you have a website, I'll check it out to see how it's going.

you might want to invent your own file format for custom things like squad logos and dockports.

edit: but i'm pretty sure people wont mind if you're not making a profit.

edit 2:hmm thunder, i was digging around the VBB and they seem to still have this topic (not tas)

Ohh I have a concept, one that works very well, the only problem is that even a team of pretty good coders is having a problem with getting everything to work together

Ah yes, I remember CL

CobaltStarr · **Reply #50 on:** November 13, 2001, 01:21:00 am

Well, I'm interested... I have a several skills which I could use to help this project out... I could write mission outlines/stories and script them, I could model some things or possibly work out interface designs, or given enough time to properly learn the languages (I only have a rough understanding of C/C++ with some knowledge of the DirectX 7 API), I could help in the actual programming of the thing.

Hey, Setekh, do you still have any of the CL stuff?

Fineus · **Reply #53 on:** November 13, 2001, 01:43:00 am

If you mean Cold Legacy, I have everything we ever did backed up on HD.

I'd just like to point out that my idea at this point is only a concept. Even if it does get past that stage it'll be several months before I announce it and look to take things to the next step. So whilst everyones optimism and offers to help are appreciated - they're not going to bring this around right now, I have other things to worry about

Thunder, did you get my email?

Fineus · **Reply #55 on:** November 13, 2001, 01:59:00 am

Yep, I just don't have time to reply right now - I've got college in about 20 minutes and still need a shower. I'll reply when I get back at around 11:30(GMT).

I can make models & some interface artwork if need be... unfortunately I've only just started learning C - and it's the base operation rather than the actual language - so I can't help in any coding.

If you decide to go ahead I can try and get some people from my Uni (Computer Science department), although I wouldn't hold your breath on it
