Well good luck with the voting procedure.  Have you prepared the virgin sacrifice as well as the BBQ and several kegs for the ceremony?

Best of luck with your hosting indeed; i'm an old fan of the Mechwarrior universe and MechCommander 2 was one of my favs. I look forward to seeing the ideas you guys have brought to it. :)

Sofar there is existing a whole bunch of new vehicles, mechs, and building (made before my time, I just started modelling there a few weeks back). Besides that, there have already been changes to the source code that added a few small features and allowed to change vehicles and mechs, which wasn't possible before.

In the last 3 weeks the two people programming have managed to breach the poly limit per frame which made textures and objects disappearing on the screen when too much visible, and also they managed to change the part how new objects can be created and entered outside, so that no dll and packfile changes are necessary. Besides that, plan are there for a (already halfway implemented) new logistic part like in MC1, where you have a inventory for components and limited quantities in component sales.

The last big breakthrough that will hopefully come, will be the texture size limit. Once that is broken, I intend to change all interface art (weapon pictures, gui, etc.)

Any just if you want to know, this here is my first work, though it's still WIP, textures are not finished, no spotlights etc. The Mechhangar, seen in MW4, and missing in MC1+2 :)

I'm a mechwarrior fan myself so I don't see a problem with the project being hosted.  Mechwarrior certainly has died out completely.  I'm guessing there are still plenty of MC 2 fans out there.  I would recommend you poke around the Mektek and Mechwarrior Living Legends forums.  You may find some MC 2 fans who have moved on to other Mechwarrior games.

Best of luck to you and your team.

Hmmm, I apologise if you've said this already, Starman, but is this program freely available? Even if the source is open, there are some odd instances like FS where open source does not mean a progam without cost.

The deal is pretty similar to FS2's sourcecode release. MS released the source, but not the assets.

Yep, they removed / disabled movie and multiplayer code to prevent law problems, besides that it's free to use. The download package even includes a complete MC2 release (except video and multiplayer that is)

Sorry for being impatient, but any admin reading this ? I would be happy for a statement :)

They'll get around to it. There aren't actually that many active admins on HLP these days, so those we do have are probably moderately busy. I'd say the response you've recieved qualifies as "overwhelmingly positive", though, so I doubt you've got anything to worry about.

In short? Patience, grasshopper :p

 :P  I'll try, though sometimes patience isn't my greatest characteristics ;)  I just want to get started, that's all. Currently we are littered at the DSC board, and that's certainly the worst type of forum software I have ever encountered  :nervous:

Oh yes...

It took quite a while for FringeSpace or Stellar Assault to get officially hosted here, so you might wait a while. However, given the positive feedback, I doubt you have any worries about you need to hold onto with respect to hosting.

Well, at least toenails are harder to reach, so they'll probably last quite a bit longer. I'd give it at least half a week before you run out of nails entirely.
