[FR-main] FreeRaider - I'll be back!

[Dave S. <dav...@ya...>]

So here is what i plan for the next week (still one
week on vacation, so i think its feasible)
A: You get vacation???
(LOL, last year I had to put off vacation to support
Bush's OIF effort. THIS year I am taking some)

1) Get FR compile with current CS version.
A: Is there anything I can do? Especially since I know
little C and less C++.

2) convert current geometry to new XML syntax
A: Interesting, I understand a bit more about XML than
C (LOL) but have some conversion tools

3) Get some info on the network issue in CS, maybe i
end up incorporating one of the mentioned projects
into CS. This would involve me looking at all the 
candidates, but hopefully someone else did that
already.
A: I AM a GEEK! I do understand networking - Whew
hoo!, problem is, if I understand what your saying,
this will again involve code - did I say I hate code,
something about it makes me go to sleep

4) Look at CEL and play with it - goal is to drop FR
implementations of standard stuff
A: I have ideas!

- OK, when you did not answer me, I figured you were
upset at my suggestions, SO, I took LINUX off my
system since I had problems getting the FR code to
work with the LATEST version of CS.......well, now you
tell me it didn't work.

- In any case, I think it might be best for me to
stick with Windows for now, can always load LINUX back
onto my machine, but then it takes a day to do the
updates. Besides, I have some cool tools to support
the effort and can export my text to text2html
anytime.

- Almost have WinCVS set-up, minor dificulties there,
had it once before.

Already working on updating the story line.

Recommended path ahead:
1. Your 1 through 4 (cool, what you said)

2. Crawl, Walk, Run
-a. Story Board (Update)
-b. Story Update (Rewrite-Update)
-c. Specifications (Update to build by)

3. Get the basic system operational with at least 4
base ship models (I am not talking 3D either)
-a. I am talking performance, maneuver, and cockpit
views. I think that when we move to a larger scale
that there might be as many as 20 ship models.
-b. Plug 3D Models in after physics is correct.
(I have some recommendations here - forcing team play
to gain success, rouge fighters seldom survive)

4. Galaxy Creation, Planet creation, and carrier ship
development - Docking, Maintenance, Launch, Transport
(entrance-exit-plaetary/clan transfer)

See, I have been thinking.

If you want, since one of my jobs is scheduling at
work, I can handle the paperwork, scheduling,
storyboards and such - whew. Will be on IRC when I
figure out a time schedule tonight.

Key here, I want this thing to work! It is time to
have some fun droping PIDS!! Or whatever we want to
call them.
