Title: Making a sequel.
Post by: steveZ1337 on February 04, 2007, 03:45:05 am
I am thinking for a final engineering project for school that it would be neat to write a sequel to the Ur-Quan Masters using the same engine that was used to make this version. I was wondering if the source code was released under the GPL? Also do you think there would be much help from the community if the work started looking promising?

Thanks,
    Steve

For the source, have a look on the download page.

Before I dive into to source code does anyone know why i'm getting this error
when i attempt to compile? I wanted a stable code base to start my understanding
of the UQM application (I was going to do some documentation for now). By the way
I have two years to spend on this project. :)
make: *** [obj/debug/src/sc2code/libs/sound/decoders/modaud.c.o] Error 1

src/sc2code/libs/sound/decoders/modaud.c:36:21: error: mikmod.h: No such file or directory

Apparently I need mikmod.h maybe this was accidentally not included in the tarball?

Please dont be upset with me...

I couldnt understand why this was missing because i had mikmod installed. But i didnt have mikmod-devel installed! anyways all is well now.

I will post my plans in a week. I think the key will be to strip down UQM to its essential parts. Then build content generators such as a Map Editor / Event handler and storyline tool.
