I may build/release a Linux package soon (using current SVN code). I don't want to see TA3D dying but the truth is it's becoming difficult to maintain because of a lot of legacy stuffs (the renderer is quite difficult to understand). This is a consequence of reverse engineering: you don't know where you go so sometimes you do a U turn, try something else until it works.

If you have ideas about what could be the future of TA3D (anything but death :P), feel free to post.

Zuzuf I'm currently trying to gain an understanding of the Shaders, how they work, and how to use C++ properly so I might be of assistance soon.

Actually, to attract help, the game needs to work. Not being a godlike game with all Starcraft 2 features, but simply work.

What stop the game to be enjoyable for player, for now ? What don't work ? That's what need to be worked on. The remainder can wait.

I don't remember what blocked me in my games, honestly. I stopped to work on units because i though the project was dead. Well, i have to re-install my old Maya, i see ;-)

Dont let it DIE!!! supreme commander is the closest thing i have to a 3D TA and i like it. BUT, just to have good ol' TA in 3D would be awesome. i cant contribute anything unfortunatly. maybe the odd fanboy motivational speech?
seriously, does anyone think this could work?
P.S. starcraft godlike???? ppffffftt!! each to thier own tho
