lets be honest, all this 'OMG *TA! KILL! KILL! KILL IT WITH FIRE' is just sad and funny at the same time

Sorry that some of us have dreams that spring will someday be popular

Are there no pirate underground devs?
Cant we be the badasses that run around renting swedish servers hosting ip infringing games?

stop all access to spring!! make it invites only.
Well be the cool kids everyone wants to hang out with but never know where we party.

f**k atari f**k IP!! fight the oppressors!

also you can think of *A mods as a Collage...we are not infringing on ip, we are creatively using gathered pieces of art to create something new and exciting.

Good enough since tbh the Models and Textures from OTA looked mainly crap

i would be more in for making remake and a better decent looking instead of butchering these and call it as a new sucky model

there are so many lazy devs maybe the support for 3do should be dropped seriously maybe this way spring will grow in an IP-free issue

Heh, doesn't matter anymore, cause beherith converted all the *A models to s3o. :_/

This holds about as much water as saying that its fine, dont worry, you can share all you like, we transcoded the Tron movie to MPEG-2 so everything's coshure now kapiche?

He was talking about 3do support, not the legal concerns

Its something many people here think is OK regardless

Perhaps, but this isn't the focus of the topic at hand.

Not at all, the dropping of 3do support to solve the IP issue would not solve it at all.

hence my post, although I may have slightly misinterpreted Forebodings post, for which I do apologise

Lazy devs don't deserve to have their game be playable?

Karl · Post by **Karl** » 05 Jan 2011, 00:22

what i am pointing is

why the hell do we still got 3do support? everyone knows that it looks damn ugly

if you want to have 3do get TA or TA3D imo

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 05 Jan 2011, 00:27

s3o was later added karl. :)

AF · Post by AF » 05 Jan 2011, 01:00

we dont really loose anything as an engine by keeping 3do on board, not at the moment anyway, so why put the effort in?

it encourages pirating TA content?

Acctually there are a number of perfectly legal models created in 3DO format (Gundam, StarWars, XectVSMynn, etc etc etc)... many of these have now been replaced with S3Os, but I would hate to see a "legal to redistribute" model that could be used effectively rendered obsolete to prevent someone from distributing game assets from a commercial game without permission.

Karl · Post by **Karl** » 05 Jan 2011, 22:16
