I know I'm beating an old topic here

- but -


with offical FS coming to a close, should we continue to push for FS2 to become open source?

Give up. Its so unlikely to ever happen, that it makes no odds.

I think we can only do that if intercrap says we can. After that all of their assets will be auctioned off to the highest bidder..after that some megacorp will probably grab it and make a really crappy Freespace3, and and and...


and I'll shut up now :D

Acceptable? No. Realistic? Yes. Its not acceptable that it costs a tenth of my annual salary to fly to Australia. It is, however, realistic and I'm bloody well stuck with it, yeah?

They have no possible reason to open source the game. As it stands, it may not be making THEM money, but its not making anyone else money either. Its not providing a template for wannabe game makers to provide competition. They will continue to sit on it.

Further, the property will never come up for sale, since the parent company of Interplay will continue to own/hold copyrights, trademarks and patents for any Interplay property, even should Interplay be dismantled. Isn't the parent company Titus? A historically greedy company?

So, again, give up. It won't happen. Sierra is more likely to opensource ITF.

The only way we'd be able to push for it would be to collectively, as a community....basically between the organization of VWatch and HLP....gather together some sort of movement to try and get it to happen.

I'd put up $2000+ if it meant open sorce WOULD happen, whatever it takes,
and I think now would be a good time to do this, if FS becomes open sorce, than we could make a patch and redirect all multipayer resorces elsewere, this would take all resorces and responsability off of V and THQ, this would fit well in the plan to completly remove all contact between V\THQ and us. as it is now V has to keep the PXO working at a loss becase it is advertised on the FS(2) box

Well I'm doing my part for the community, extending the lifetime of Freespace 1 and giving historical background.

If the source ever comes up--and that's one hell of an If--I'll sell my car and give Setekh the proceeds. :nod:

not me :p
the FS2 engine is crap now, with some work, you could redo FS2 in, say, the Half Life engine, it would be free and better ( it would require good programmers too :p )
