Future of ODS theater (after 512)

Post by kinggeorge » 2003-11-23 19:01:00

Just a short note from Striker and me for those who want to know if and what is beeing done on this theater. (Info is always good :D)

Currently there developement acitivity from us is suspendet at least until these criteria are all met:

- the release of SP4
- the release of OIR
- a final BMS exe.

Reasons: We are very unsatisfied with the current patching situation of different exe's different installers, different groups, the Sp4 wait as it contains important fixes for ODS like theaters, and we're insecure about Falcon's future wether it be a compatible OIR or freeware SP/BMS as some important developers retired.
Also some of the people involved in ODS currently cannot invest much time in their hobby.

Status: Some additional texture work has been done and some generic ideas have been worked out for a next beta.

Outlook: When a similar favorable situation present a year ago returns to the falcon land ODS developement will likely continue as the feedback was good - if the persons willing to help are there.

Hey bro, long time no hear. I´ll get back to work here soon. A new job change and a few other things have been keeping me away from ODS. :cool:

We are holding short for the community to produce a standard... or a defacto standard.

Too few info and unanswered question by G2I, especially Claude so far. Some confusion regarding the OIR state and future plans. So it is not in our best interest to do anything before G2I has finally delivered something one could evaluate on. I refer to the first post also. BMS is making great progress and also theater issues are beeing worked on. Sp4 has to finish too as it contains substantial improvements for theaters.
So... lets see when the community unites again ;)

For me personally i dont know if i'll invest much time again - may depend on how the payware trend continues ;)

No need Ender. Claude has my email addy since ages- i have his for instance. Hes also in contact with others regarding ODS. Like i said it is wasted time to do substantial work if the above criteria are not (yet) met and there is no official information on the time schedule...

Furthermore this thread is an information thread (please refer to the first post) and not for discussing anything on the subject. Anyone is welcome to contact the guys involved in ODS personally :)

I prefer 50's, but i might be stuck flying 25's ;) what about a SDK type kit for the different groups to make compatible to their liking?
