ArcanumAlive Project - Check out new website!

[Crypton]

Hi everybody! Smile

Some of you might already know about this project from Terra Arcanum, because it was not really successful there,so I've decided to move to Arcanum Club, where I did continued on this project.

After month, I've made a lot of progress, so I decided to show it here too, maybe it will be interesting for some fans or developers....

This project is aimed to recreating/researching Arcanum engine, adding new features, making everything easy-modifiable, creating new expansion packs and so on.... just making Arcanum alive again!

At this moment, I'm doing research, and everything I found is written in my engine, so after research will be finished, I'll release a source codes, so game may be ported to other operating systems and consoles.

If Drog wishes to help, I'm sure you can do wonders together.

Looking forward to its completion.

I don't know shit about tweaking/modding and engines but I fap every time I hear "improve Arcanum". So, carry on!

This project will be using original Arcanum module or it will be only compatible with new modules?

From screenshots, you can see that its original also it loads original arcanum resources, no converting is needed, but I'm planning to create new easy-modifiable file formats.

Also, looks great. I hope this project doesn't die. How far are you, how much hard work is left, what can you do/can't you do? Are you trying to reverse-engineer the engine or something?

 

[Piety]

This... Is incredible. So fucking incredible. Is the aim here more to reverse-engineer and hack on the engine, or simply write a new one that uses the original game's assets? More like a conversion mod or more like the GemRB project for IE?

 

[JarlFrank]

Orgasm.

In theory, but will Drog be able to work with someone else?

Good effort, guess Arcanum did not say its last word yet.

 

[Crypton]

Yes, by research I mean reverse engineering because without that it will be completely IMPOSSIBLE to recreate arcanum engine!

Also, practically I've decoded maps completely also I've researched a prototypes and mobile objects almost completely! So I think that hardest job is done, now I need to create AI, Script processor, Anim Class (I have animated only scenery atm), and other stuff which I cant remember now.


So after I finishing few things on sector preloader, I'll start adding anims to game, and then I'll try to add some AI.

 

[jagged-jimmy]

No, no fixes, make it modable and then anyone can fix anything.

I know this probably sounds really petty but would you mind changing avatars? This is the only one I have used for this account and I don't plan on changing it, it fits with the user name so well and It also looks like me IRL. Well, an older me. I've sort of come to think of it as mine.

Silence, bitch. If you want it so badly fight him for it in a Doom 2 deathmatch.
