 OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: civ5 has code from civ1, civ6 too probably | 17:01:43 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jmelesky_: at some point they took that engine and updated it again for Skyrim, but they renamed it in the process | 17:01:56 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: oh I thought you meant the human endeavour, not the video game. | 17:01:57 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: Just look at civilization. We just keep monkeypatching old government and economic systems. Sometimes there's a rewrite from scratch, but those are usually quite bloody and uncomfortable, and often have new bugs that need to be worked out anyways. | 17:03:00 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: aurora engine is another one that got updated for a while iirc | 17:03:52 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: or whatever nwn/kotor uses | 17:04:03 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: Yeah, that's the Aurora engine. | 17:05:31 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: Is that open-source? | 17:05:49 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: I think it got rebranded the "Eclipse" engine or something like that for NWN2 and DA:O | 17:05:58 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: Electron | 17:06:26 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: jfcaron: No, it's Bioware proprietary. -- But, there's an open source reimplementation of it. | 17:06:26 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: Electron, yes. | 17:06:32 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: xoreos is the open source reimplementation project for the Aurora engine. It's still in the early stages. | 17:07:00 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: Oh Eclipse is yet another descendant of Aurora. | 17:07:15 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: #xoreos here on freenode is their irc channel. | 17:07:16 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: Bioware's older Infinity Engine (for Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale) has an open source reimplementation as well, "gemrb" | 17:08:05 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: Which is pretty mature. | 17:08:24 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: gemrb is cool | 17:09:07 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: Has anyone made any new games for gemrb? | 17:09:21 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: I haven't really used it much yet. I should try installing IWD2 under it, since as so far, that's the only one that Beamdog hasn't touched. | 17:09:39 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: in my experience a lot of mods work with it | 17:10:02 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] johnnyhostile: for bg1/2 | 17:10:13 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: I've heard that too. | 17:10:19 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: jfcaron: As far as I know, neither gemrb or xoreos have editors as part of them. I don't think anyone has made any completely new games with either as of yet. | 18:28:37 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] jfcaron: I guess those kinds of games require a lot of assets work, which the open-source community isn't good at providing. | 18:41:05 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] magamo: The lack of an editor might be a factor too. | 18:44:28 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] sakuramboo: we need more engine replacements | 19:31:11 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] sakuramboo: the GTA3 one looks promising | 19:31:30 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] sakuramboo: https://github.com/rwengine/openrw | 19:32:16 |
| OpenMW-Bridge | [irc] randall: I'll say, how long do you think before it's playable? and where to get a legit copy of gta3? | 19:34:21 |
