This is a set of hacks to UQM that I'm making.
|
|
|
|
I'm starting out with a bunch of stuff to facilitate exploring the universe,
|
|
hacking planets, and more.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, I intend to turn this into a general-purpose space-game engine.
|
|
Since it's GPL, I don't think that there's much copyright issues. I'll strip
|
|
out the TfB/FF/PR3 IP and such (I'll try to modularize it) and make it that people
|
|
can insert their own assets, story lines, etc. for their own enjoyment.
|
|
Kinda like what Proj 6214 or whatever did... but not tied to any particular
|
|
IP. Just a general hyperspace grid, a modular ship (I dunno if the shape is
|
|
IP that has to be altered...) and such. With code and data plugins to describe
|
|
what races are and what they do... it could be a fun thing.
|
|
|
|
I'll also endeavour to port the whole thing to C++, over time.
|
|
|
|
I'll make it use Alepha's loadable library stuff (and probably Lua and
|
|
ECL for people to do some fun things with races without needing to write C++
|
|
in the engine).
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've decided to name this project "Chemistry Of Bad Mead" (COBM). As a pun
|
|
on the old saying and a reference to the TfB/Star Control: Origins legal
|
|
settlement. And CoBM sounds like it might be backronymed into some
|
|
kind of cool sci-fi series name.
