Re: Future of ODS
Hi Ender
Like I said in my "Thank You" in the "Terrain" Topic my personal wish is that with this new BMS development we may see the SP3/VO/BMS EXE's "merged" into one - finally.
If that happens (and fast as well!) Snake might want to come back (unless he really feels like being out of Falcon entirely, I am in the middle of major "career changes" myself, with all the RL stuff that goes with that and won't even have the time to work on the ODS Campaign stuff 'till prolly around end October, so I feel like I need to "leave" myself!) but in the meantime I guess it's up to us to try "hold the fort!"
Sad day
Regards - Rob

Re: Future of ODS
Indeed, its been bugging me that RL issues may bother my Falcon development, and its tough to even let go, i think this will be the bridge, and we'll be together as one.

Re: Future of ODS
The BMS exe is an evolution of the SP3 exe, and 'apparently' does and WILL retain full compatibility with SP3/4 data... The VO guys have been invited to help develop the BMS exe, so if all is well, the VO changes may well show up in the next BMS exe... Barring factional flame wars and ego battles...
As for ODS, i guess it depends on if someone is willing to step up and take the place of Snakeman and manage the project, assuming the rest of the ODS team wishes to continue without him!

Re: Future of ODS
Would be interesting to see what the BMS exe will look like with VO edits, as for the flames, people can get over themselves, maybe Snakeman will change his mind and come back to Falcon.

Re: Future of ODS
Well one would HOPE that is what would happen, but im not holding my breath... Lets face it, the Falcon community has been having these little Factional wars since the eF/RP days. Its all ego driven, stubborness and jealousy.
I hope BMS can ignore the flames and get stuck in, with the assistance of the VO guys. I doubt all the flamers and doubters will refuse to use a superior exe when its done!

Re: Future of ODS
Well as a former "VO" Beta Tester (not Developer / Coder) I can assure you there was lot's of passion for what we were doing. And some damm good fixes. From what I can understand, the VO Dev's are "wary" of becoming involved with BMS because of what I like to call the "Claude Factor" (IOW G2i).quote:Originally posted by Zaggy:

I hope these people can ignore the flames, call a truce, merge this stuff for once and for all ...
Otherwise, I will (when RL gives me a break, hopefully by October some time!) be staying with VO Exe Build 30511 and ODS 512's many Campaigns that need work (and I need to learn). And of course, LOMAC could be released by Christmas so that we can have at least one, modern (ITO of O/S, DX9) "Plug 'n Play" Jet Sim for "entertainment" ...

PS: I am willing to hang in here for as long as it takes for Snake to come back or ODS to find "another leader". We cannot "replace" him, forget it - that personality
