In Response To: Re: You get what you pay for, Forrest (Forrest of B.org)

: There was a good bunch of people back then saying "just give us TCP/IP and OpenGL,
: implement everything in MML, remove the limits, make it stable, port it
: everywhere, and call it done." I was one of them.

There were people who thought even OpenGL rendering was useless too, I think.

: Honestly, I think it would be best for both sides to fork the project: keep one branch as just
: pure Marathon goodness, without the extra crap, but polished up for the
: 21st century; and let the other branch grow off into its own engine, no
: longer Marathon, no longer concerned with backwards compatability, just to
: be a nifty new engine project for people making scenarios to use.

That was the purpose of the Aleph Modular project, I think: to provide a clean, polished version of AO that wasn't encumbered by all of the various stuff tossed in by the main AO effort. Sadly, there hasn't been a new build released by the team since 2003.

: The code for Forge and Anvil is in the same place the code to M2Win95 is -
: sleeping with the fishes.
