Fallout 2238 Source Release?

(1/10) > >>

Spiritwind:
Hey Devs,
I know that you guys haven't determined whether or not your going to release the 2238 source, and I doubt this post will sway you much; but its worth a try. 

I can see why you are debating whether or not to do it; you've put a lot of hard work and time into Fallout 2238, and chances are that if you do release it, there is going to be quite a few mixed servers of it out there for a while.  However, on the other side of that, most of those servers will be ill maintained, and will more than likely be down within a few weeks.  Those that do stay up will more than likely have experienced developers and a good team working on them; and the world of Fallout 1 & 2 can continue to expand and grow.

I personally would like to start a server, and my own branch of 2238; I have a group of experienced developers, along with a solid player base (In my gaming community) to support it.  But on the other hand; being a developer myself, and running servers; I know that its hard to get past that point where you release years worth of hard work and dedication; when there is always a chance that in the future you might want to revive it.  None of the work that my team of developers have done is open source; and looking through through the scope of time; I can't say for sure if we'd release it or not if we shut our own servers down. I guess the main part of me that would want to; is the part that is curious of what other people might come up with.  That part you guys have done already; you've released older versions of it; and the TLAmrk2 source is out there.  I suppose if I had to I'd be willing to work off that; however I would be much happier; and we'd have a much better start if we started with 2238.  Simply because TLAmrk2 has pretty much been made for all the kids out there that despise dying over and over, and aren't up for the challenge of survival.  I personally find your work much more exciting, much more hardcore, and much more interesting. 

I would just really hate to see the last actively developed hard core Fallout game die.  I've got the time and resources to help it grow, and I'm sure there are a couple others out there that do as well.  So what do you say? 

Enzotainment:
My vote goes to this suggestion! Presuming I even have a vote.

I will definately be searching for a Fonline server with TB option.
Please don't let the dream die this month! :)

Alvarez:
I second this suggestion. Even parts of it will be welcomed.

Giving out anything - maps, scripts, anything, would help.
