How close are we to version 2.0?

Boingo the Clown · September 14th, 2005, 06:20 AM

I am sorry I haven't been keeping up on things lately, but I would like to know just how close version 2.0 is to completion.

Would you say that Version 2.0 will be done in time for Christmas, a mere three months from now?

I really must know.

Me too!

Yes as Zane said, there are only 3 months left before the legacy team will have to say "happy new year" again.

lol, so much for 'A few weeks...'

The 2.0 beta version is missing two big elements, OpenGL renderer and netcode.
When they're in place, we'll need a debugging period (and probably lots of tuning for the
netcode parameters) before the actual release.
The netcode takes at least a month, and only Hurdler can tell how soon he gets the OpenGL
stuff working.

After the beta there will be a feature freeze, which from a mapper's viewpoint makes
it as good as the actual release

Smite, do you know whether a Mac beta will be coming anytime soon? I'm really looking forward to this ;D

I can wait... But also I canÂ´t :P... Have we any news from Hurdler about the new renderer?. Last time I checked it didnÂ´t look bad, just had all textures missing.

Excellent! OMG netcode!

MR_ROCKET · September 19th, 2005, 03:20 PM

Is the Tribes source netcode being put into Legacy 2.0, or what was the scoop on that?

Kind of, the new netcode is based on OpenTNL, formerly Torque Network Library, which was used
in Tribes 1 and 2 too. It's not the same netcode, but a similar one.

Someone page Hurdler to this thread

OK, how long must I wait till Legacy 2?

Danimetal · September 30th, 2005, 02:17 AM

Until itÂ´s done, of course.

Yes, ATM it's Smite-Meister working mostly alone on it, for the Win32/Linux side.
