The game in question was originally released for the snes over 12 years ago.

Viacom/Paramount (not microprose!) have a legal right. I suggest you look it up its called trademark infringement. If you take all the trademarked names out you will have the legal right to release it.

He did not misplace any keys. He asked for a copy of a CD then decided to tell everyone he spent ages downloading it off of a P2P network. Not really the actions of a legal owner are they.

It's nice you brought this up. But you can't have the developers turn around now. If Paramount decides it's time to stop this project, all trademarks could simply be taken out. And then... well, let them try to stop me and others from making a ST mod. They can't sue a "ghost" can they?

I was going to suggest they did exactly what you say so they cant be told to stop hosting it.

Right, but they can do that if/after the Paramount open hailing frequencies. No sense to throw away everything done till now...

Besides I doubt they'll do anything. There are a lot of other ST projects and noone does anything to them. Plus Jig is right, the project isn't doing them any harm.

how dose FoRcE statments affect the relase of the game?
I hope it dosent affect in anyway.

Do you think VB.net is going to be fast enough for the game?

Well you sort of implied it when you constantly refused to say what language your using. Also if you was going to program it in C++ it would make more sense to you VS6 not .Net

Anyway. Do you have anymore screenshots to show after 4 months of work?

I am not arrogant but I am curious as to why you need to use two compilers?

So is the game using OpenGL or DirectX?

lol..I dare you to answer some questions P



I thought this forum was dedicated to your project not mine?



I didnt ask for a demo. I understand you wouldnt want to release an unstable demo but considering its been 4 months and you say yourself that you have plenty to show how difficult is it to post a few screenshots?

no arguments guys. screenies can be put up, i`m sure gavin won`t mind, after all everyone would like to see some progress.

I wasnt arguing at all just curious as to why there is basically no information about how the game was coming along but it seems I missed all the stuff that was stored on the other forum.

To be honest after reading what he has said about the development of the game I cant understand why he cant answer any question regarding its development. Just seems like he uses the community on here to get suggestions and ideas but gives nothing back but defensive "I dont have to tell you anything" kind of answers.

I am pretty sure all of these will be ignored or Ill get a defensive reply along the lines of "Its none of your business" but lets see.



Activx and Ocx's dont work in OpenGL or directX so what use are they exactly?

2.


So the fact that DirectX and OpenGL are API's isnt going to be a problem?
Can you explain what you mean by storing the code? It makes no sense. After reading that you are making the ships drop and drag(can you imagine how long that is going to take with 200 ships?)
Is it because you dont know the algorithum to draw the lines?

3.




So what happens to the News Network when you use OpenGL?

force stop with the 50 questions, unless your a fully fledged programmer and offering to actually help g tufrey the only programmer so far, stop bogging him down with questions and slowing his work down, its not as if hes not got enough to do allready

All you had to do was leave it at that which although didnt answer any of my questions shows some insight into what is going on.

The tactic of accusing me of attacking you because you cant answer basic questions is becoming really predictable and pointless because you yourself stated that you wasnt an experienced programmer and would as you put it "learn as you went along".

It is pretty obvious that no one cares how much you know about programming its just the end product they care about.

Dont worry I wont ask you anymore questions.



lol trust me if yours involves activ x and ocx's then I dont want to know.



Raiden,
Unfortunately he has made it clear he works alone.

Although if he ever decides to give up on it let me know.

force tbh it seems to be you which is antagonising the issue here and not g; bearing in mind how would u liek someoen to constanly ask questions that could easily be found? i would find it very annoying myself

Chris,

You obviously have no idea what I was asking him (lol@easily found) and I have said I wont be asking anymore questions so theres no need for you to get involved.

Peace Guy's, Please. Think happy skippy thoughts go to http://www.stonetrek.com

this project will not be shut down, this type of game is no longer plausible as a high profit venture for any games company, turn based strategy are usually not high erners, the current license owners activision are not keen on turn based games as most lose terribel amounts of money, a example was the massive flop for atari which was moo3 and as a result atari will not be releasing moo4. only starting up games companies and games publishers will risk money on turn based games becuase they need to in order to gain a market in a area of games

big publishers and games companies tend to stick to allready high erning games and movies frenchies that tend to draw people in to buy the game.

basicaly strategy games are for thinkers, unfortunately most gamers these days are comprised of pea brained morons who couldnt think themselves out of a wet paper bag, ie they usualy go around saying things like "suxxor" or "you were pwned" or "im uber" or the old favourite "your such a NO0B"

What's a NOOB anyway? I've seen that around.

I'm so glad that brief, yet embarassing bout of immaturity seems to have left the forum.

the best i can guess is that a NO0B is somebody that doesnt know everything about life the universe and everything, i spose that makes everybody in the world excluding god and the spotty 16 year old who ambushes your 5th lev toon with his 50th level toon ... every game has em, the one im mentioning here ended up complaining to a gm after i followed him arround for a week with my 65th lev necro .. who say's there isnt justice

Hmmm, that answered my question, I'm now curious what lev toons, gm's and lev necros are.

LoL i hope you joking, but if you arn't i used to play Everquest, a MMORPG *Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game* slangs were

Toon = Your character, also known as avatars or alteriors "Alt's"

GM = Games Masters, people who work for sony the game owners who patrol the game and act like police,

Necro = Necromancer, a class you can build up, Likes wearing black carries sickles and see's dead people

Lev = The level of your character

Does anyone mind that the game will be on some game magazines DVD (my friends will make sure of it when the game is released) ?

once it`s released and public domain it won`t matter if it goes out as a freebie on a mag.

I'd not heard any of those! You learn something every day.

I've never played games of any kind online, except BOTF with a mate a couple of years ago.

Bleh! sorry, i forget not everybody has been online 7 years, its amazing how you get so used to some things that your brain fools you into thinking since you know it everybody else must know it heh its like us brits goin abroad and speaking loud to those foreign chaps because we think everybody speaks english, even if they dont know they do

Actually I played Everquest and games that preceeded it and havent heard about toons either.

All the other slang words predate EQ by far.

The Game Master is the controling person in a role playing game. He acts as a form of storyteller and represents all nonplayer characters. For a singleplayer computer run RPG the computer is the actual GM and in MMORPGs they are basically the company staff.
