Ever since the release of the Freespace 2 source code, I wonder what will happen to some of the fan-made projects such as TAP.  So let me ask you first, what will the source code mean for this project?

One Thing: Infestation Beams!

Another Thing: Mimic

[Pera]

Perhaps a whole lot later. For now, the only realistic things we can expect to be in the demo are fighter beam weapons and ending a mission without player jumping out.

We won't see mimics or cloakable ships for a long time.

What I would REALLy want, would be some fixes for the turret axis code, but AFAIK making those fixes would be pretty difficult

Were there not problems with getting more than one salvage corvette to attach to a frigate due to the fact that only one ship can dock at any one time, you/we/I/someone else could change that.

Ahh, Pera, I see you're a Douglas Adams fan, hooray!

You see, I'd much rather be happy than right any day!
The fact that i'm not happy is where it all falls down of course.

Ahh... Now there's one thing that would be useful. Let's just hope it's not a too complicated thing to change.

still got **** to sort out, but i quited shool and thinking of plunging my self on programming i got a few friends who know how to that very good they can teach it me so mayby if i know how to do it i can fix those things like axies and stuff mayby engine trails and whatever still wil gonna take some time but i'm a fast learner.

Glad to see you're back with us, Alexander!
It's been a sparse around here in your absence.

You can FRED a cloak ship. Just have it jump in and out with no warp affect.

Trails?

Nice to have ya here Alex. So you didn't give up on Freespace after all.

Anywa, since we are talking about programming, what do I need to be able to edit the source code? What do you guys recommend?

[Unknown Target]

Ooh, I have a good, free one, but I forget it's name, wait 'till I get home;)

Are you joking?  

You can NOT learn C++ overnight(I believe thats what the source is written in, I never downloaded it ).

You'd have to take classes and stuff to know how to properly edit the source and add things, and even then its very hard b/c the source is all 'solidified' you could say.

Yeb thats what i am doing from time to time.

I'm not realy back my RL is a bit busy lately i work on tap still a bi when i got some spare time.

All big, complex programs are written in C++
