: 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.

I think you missed the most important part of my post - the fact that this divergence happened three years ago. I've moved on. (Others have, too. I'm glad you haven't... but you're in a pretty small group right now.)

: 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.

There was a significant chunk of the Marathon mapmaking community that was truly excited when the source code was originally released, because they felt they'd pushed Infinity as far as it would go.

Then they discovered that the programmers, who they'd need to rely on to actually get the new features they wanted INTO the source, had different priorities than they did... and weren't interested in collaborating.

Lots of folks became bitter. Many moved on to other things in their lives.

Telling them now that there might be an option (Aleph Modular) that will eventually serve their needs... well, three years ago, they might have been willing to wait. Now? Who knows.

I think it's great that there's still interest. I wish I had the interest I once had. Marathon's not dead for me... but it sure isn't as vibrant as I used to find it. :(
