	In Response To: Re: (P) issues (Claude Errera) : My contribution starts here . You weren't around when the fighting started, : so you're forgiven in your misunderstanding of the core issues. :) : And I think you can trace the lack of smaller projects DIRECTLY back to the : programming decision to add stuff like OpenGL capability and 3d model : support AT THE START. If Aleph One had started out as a supercharged : Infinity (that is, contained ALL the features of Infinity, but with bugs : fixed and relatively minor mapmaker-requested features added), and THEN : had OpenGL/3D models/bridges/whatever added, you'd see a far more vibrant : community, I think. : Of course, that's just an opinion. You're welcome to disagree with it. A very good point. For me, just getting into map-making, I am fine with all the features of Infinity. I could care less about 3D models and textures of microscopic detail, because the gameplay matters much more. Just look at a game like Pac-Man: It was hugely popular because it was really fun. It had the simplest graphics. Or look at the original Star Wars films and the new ones: Would you rather have the great story and the homespun miniatures made out of household items, or Jar Jar and great computer graphics? That is the way I look at the development of A1. The neat thing that looks like it's appearing is the Aleph Modular project. It seems to be a back-to-basics approach more friendly to mapmakers like me. =^) Sam
