In Response To: Re: You get what you pay for, Forrest (rampancy)

: To my knowledge, many of those things aren't special features but very, very
: clever map making tricks. For example, swinging doors is implemented in
: TI, and Ian put a working conveyor belt in RED.

Yes, but as you said, it is a trick, and as a trick it seems a bit stiff when opening the doors, it would be cool to have it as a feature for mapmakers

: Contacting the dev team for both Prime Target and Damage Incorporated would
: be a worthwhile project, I think...

I've contected Damage Incorporated team a days ago, no response 'til now though :-(
I can't find the team that made Prime Target.

: From what I now remember on alt.games.marathon the main problem was the devs'
: attitude - a really huge divide started between programmers like Loren
: Petrich and the devs and the scenario designers like Borzz. The designers
: wanted features like better monster AI/pathfinding and a lifting of the
: limitation polygon counts, among other features. While I know that the
: latter was done, not much was done about the former. And people took up
: the (quite adversarial) attitude of "Well, if you want us to add
: feature X, why don't you download the source and do it yourself?"

That's the lazy attitude I hate from those devs(whom I don't know any)... that's why I mentioned the creation of second project upon the first which I would call Aleph Two. Where the open minded and creative developers should work. Just a thought, although it would be good for Marathon's future as a game ( I feel that it is somewhat in danger, 'cos the lack of enhacements to the game)

: Has someone here or a b.org actually asked someone at Bungie for this? It
: seems odd that they didn't do this back when the Marathon source was
: released.

Nope, we should send them a Mail, with the signs of everyone that wants the source of those... or just an e-mail with all our names.

I hope we can gather ppl for the A2 project, and get the attention of those m2 based games and Bungie giving us the code from anvil and forge.

Anyway
