You do realize there're internal limits on the number of races in a mod?

And what happened to the move away from OTA gameplay and Intellectual copyright

LOLz... that is either going to be really fun, or a giant mess

Either way, we're going to be entertained

My advice on that plan is in your forum, Caydr.

Damn, Cadyr's gone insane. Right, plan B, or rather plan BA... :p

More seriously I would be (pleasently) suprised if all those can be made to work together.

What is the limit?

Nanoblobs would be hilarious if included, though i dont think thats feasible (Imagine a nanoblobs player giving their excess resources to their team).

5000 units is all I can think of, because so far seven races in one mod doesn't seem to hurt.

2048x2048 texture limit for 3do units.... and AA already filled that for 90 %

you can forget about adding TLL

Well, we have s3o for that. speaking of which, are there still plans to recreate most of the tech 1 units?

Only tech1? Thought the plan was to make it free from IP. I don't quite see the reason to remodel it at all if it wasn't for freeing it out of Atari's fangs.

Just remodelling and retexturing won't clear it of atari IP. You would have to get rid of names, scripts... and basic things like building via nanospray, the word "kbot" to refer to mechs, ect. More than is worth the effort, probably.

The nanospray graphical effect is too generic for copyright. The word "kbot" is just a word, trivial to change. The script is the big one.

Zenka · Post by **Zenka** » 18 Dec 2006, 14:07

but erom is right. though nanospray wouldn't probably be copywrited. the concept might. sertaintly as long as the names Arm and Core are used it wount be IP free. (And the scrips, sounds, icons, names).
Can anyone tell us what needs to be done to make a mod atari IP free? it would be interesting to know.

Eventually all models would be remodelt, but caydr was busy with tech 1 last I've heared.

I think BA=AA should be done and let Noize and Daywalker update it.

And Caydr gets time to developed his new mod ("Abolition") with all those races.
