If you're learning by poking the code, might I suggest also getting the Half-Life SDK? Taught me a lot through it. It's also faster to compile then the Freespace exe.

Speaking of which doesn't the HL SDK have some of the best networking code available? If so would it not be a fairly hot item to incorporate into FS's engine?

Well, if I had Half-Life that'd be great, eh?

And if I ever got HL that would be one more reason to never leave home.

we already have the freespace 2 TCP/IP code

they just ripped out PXO, we can easily write a new chat server and list server

and it's a good idea, but since so few video cards support it and it doesn't give that much of a visual increase this feature is IMPO pointless
