The end of Rock Patch

[pd]

Shame that it had to come to a stop like this, but it's VK's decision and I respect it.
I would not talk about "the end" though.

Some people (there weren't many) knew that I was working on what I wanted to call "RockPatch2" which is virtually bug-free, though I rarely worked on it and so it never got to a releasable state.
Whether this "RockPatch2" has a future, I don't know yet.

Also, similar to VK's plans, I was/am working on a YR recreation.
I have serious problems with mouse<->map interaction though as well as a few other problems.
@VK:
My engine can load and display csf, ini, pal, shp (with shadows and remap), tmp and yrm files at its current state. It is based on SDL and OpenGL.
If you like, I can send my current source to you, maybe it can speed up things significantly.
I suppose you want to work with DirectX. Porting my OpenGL engine to DirectX shoudln't be too hard, as I use OpenGL for drawing and positioning only (code parts that can easily be adapted).

I know VK isn't the best project leader/manager (no offense here but you see what happened, please do not flame about this statement any longer), he is a great programmer and I bet if anyone could make a decent YR recreation, he's the one.
Also, since he works very intensively, we could expect (just an estimation) a playable version in maybe a year.

Well, let there be peace for a while here so that everything and everyone can calm down.
Then we see further.
