van buren and fife

D

decline

First time out of the vault
so maybe this belongs in more the general fallout section...if so sorry...
but i started getting curious...i haven't played the van buren alpha yet...but is there a chance of making a big push on fife engine, dumping the van buren content into it, adding to it obviously and releasing an unofficial fallout3 ahead of fallout3? (and crossing the legal issues bridge when it comes to that) :lol: :? :wink:
 
Van Buren is just a fake-like. Engine is uncomplete, if you have engine sources, another talking.

FIFE is a 2D iso-view engine, Van Buren is 3D.

adding to it obviously and releasing an unofficial fallout3 ahead of fallout3? (and crossing the legal issues bridge when it comes to that) :lol: :? :wink:

Why would anyone want to do that?
 
I would still like to see the models from VB exported to OBJ files so that they could then be exported into sprites.

Anyway it would be a source of models that someone could use to make sprites for FIFE or other mods
 
ok...well thats cool....so much reading about fatman guns, godzilla sized super mutants and toilet drinking, coupled with a lack of sleep i started thinking there has to be a way to make 3 more fallout like....then i thought fife...van buren...maybe??? Bethesda has a good game i think with the fallout3 stuff i've seen....i just don't think its going to make a good fallout3 (if that makes sense) so i started looking for hope... at least there is a glimmer in wasteland 2
 
Why don't we ask original BIS devs for source? ;) I bet they DO have it :P
of course, you know, noone knows anything, we never met or spoke and so on... :)


Hm wtf... Why did Bethesda not hire those guys to start working on F3 where it was left?

Yes, Mr. Octopuss. I bet it will be just as simple as you are writing. :lol:
 
IIRC they can't release the source because it contains a third party sound system.
 
Well they could release it if they deleted those parts from the code.

This happen with the Decent Freespace 2 engine, it got released but they had to delete all the references to the MVE video format since interplay owned that.

Long story short, Freespace is alive and well and now has Div-X video support thanks to their community.

Just do a google on the freespace open source project

I know at one stage Odin was talking to Herve about getting the source code but it never happened, still it wouldnt surprise me to know that someone sent in a copy of the sourcecode to the admins here at some point but it wasnt made public for legal reasons (we have enough other leaked content here).

I am pretty sure it wouldn't be so hard if efford was made. At least the Beth taking over the original sourcecode scenario.
 
If you get the source code released I'll send you a bottle of your favorite poision, and Lisak will kiss you ;)
