Hi, every couple months I drift back to this site to check on the status of Outpost3. It never seems to change.
Anyway, a long time ago I offered to help program OP3 in MMF. I got a "no thanks", so instead I went and did other things. Now though I feel like having a challenge.
I've since moved on from MMF to Jamagic, which is closer to C++, although quite a bit slower, and quite a bit easier. I believe it would be possible to create an RTS like OP2 for a 1ghz+ computer in Jamagic.
Since Jamagic uses a scripting language(like C++) making huge pathfinding maps, building connection maps, etc. would be really easy. Someone made a pathfind object aswell, so it shouldn't be too hard implementing those things. The only problem I forsee is particles. Jamagic is REALLY slow for particles, so those would have to be scrapped.
Anyway, I hope to give it a shot. I don't want to get hopes up, but I have to ask. Does anyone have some OP2 resources, like graphics or tiles? I can't try anything without those, or I'll never know if my engine runs at a reasonable speed.
Otherwise I'll probably just drift into the shadows again, and go somewhere else and make something else.
