In Response To: Re: (P) issues (Claude Errera)

: Heh - interesting timing with this rant. Doesn't look like you read
: alt.games.marathon... but I posted the other side of this just yesterday.
: :)

: 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.

I disagree with it. If you don't like opengl/3D/whatever don't give a shit about it and use alephone as a supercharged infinity. That's what I do atleast. I only use it because it's more stable and have higher polygon limits.

Obviously you're right, alephone has done something to the mapmakers.. but I can't understand what. Maybe someone could tell me, why there's reason for a mapmaker to give up because of AlephOne.
