We Demand That Classic Seirra Games Such As Outpost 2 are Re-Released in New, Updated Forms With Improved Features, such as Improved Graphics and a New Multiplayer Server Similar to the old WON System that People from Around the World can Play on.

Post if you agree!

Good idea. The Petition will be somewhat like the first post, though if anybody has new ideas, they can add onto it.

Me too lol. And to at least store the updates!

Just as long as the graphics aren't out of my computer's league, I'll sighn.

Um, if we want this, we'll have to make it ourselves.

They can't mod the game easily - the source code is destroyed.

And to hire programmers to do it = $$$

Sirbomber · « **Reply #6 on:** April 25, 2004, 08:18:28 PM »

Well, they'll get money for doing it, won't they?

CK9 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 25, 2004, 08:24:35 PM »

they don't think they will get enough money from it to make up for the spendings.

I've misunderstood the thing. Of course I'd support a petition.

i'm busy with school, but i'm only in high school. I have the time for it (barely), but, as i'm sure you all know by now, i'm still waiting to get my personel comp back.

Oprime · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2004, 01:29:30 PM »

Things are way to crazy for some people. But, as for me, My school is nearing the end.... NO MoRe SChOol yeppy!!! I'm in the process of looking for a new ISP and switching so maybe then I can finally get some games in.

plymoth45 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2004, 09:19:22 AM »

i just learned that yesterday was mid-term for this quarter, that means only 1 month of school left!!

Phantom · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2004, 09:26:43 AM »

I only have 2-3 weeks left. Yep, college is better than High School. I had to see it to believe it, and I've seen it.

Anyways, back on topic. If you write a petition, I'll sign it. Well, eventually anyways...

Kiith Somtaaw · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2004, 12:23:18 PM »

Where is the petition?

Arklon · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2004, 03:41:28 PM »

Modding the game would be impossible at this point. The source is in oblivion. You'd have to rewrite the whole game. An OP2 sequel that is true 3D would be interesting, using lighting effects as well... however, my ideas for that got a bit extreme, but they would be nice.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2004, 06:41:44 PM »

This is the Petition. And the source code must be someplace. But if they have to redo it, at least they already have a large portion of the game already done. It's easier to redo something that exists, even if it's been destroyed, then to invent something completely new. Also, since most of the stuff already exists, and would just have to be updated, it would be less work than creating a whole new game. Thus, it would cost less than to create a whole new game because it's an update. it would need fewer people working on it.

BlackBox · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2004, 07:36:41 PM »

No, the source is gone.... I've verified that with the lead programmer... They'd have to redo the whole game in order to change it

Luweeg64 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 29, 2004, 07:14:38 AM »

What is it a petition for, and what is the competition.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #23 on:** April 29, 2004, 07:16:56 AM »

Hmm...

Well, I suppose one way to look at it is that it's gone forever...

Another way to look at it is that it's still possible, but would require a little more work, but still less than recreating the game from scratch. The source code would have to be redone, but most things would just have to have a "tune up," so to speak. Okay, so it might not be incredibly easy... "but nothing worth doing is ever easy."

The first thing you'd need is an art extractor, but the current one is "buggy, can't save, and not available for download". I'd make one, except I'm not much of a hacker, and don't see why I should try when someone has already done it.

No, what I'll probably do is make a mapper like warcraft 2's(drag terrain), then whine to op2hacker for help on the format.
