When it was said that Eisenstern was dead, a group of us got together to continue its development!

Here is a link to our Google Code Downloads page (We will try to update the download every day).

#4: getting support

by Armen on 08/10/2008 10:46

A good way to get people with some technical \"hands-on\" knowledge of creating RPG elements behind this might be to post about this project on forums related to modding Morrowind and Oblivion as the style of game play you are going for seems similar to the Elder Scrolls games. It would be awesome if their free construction set was open-source, but it\'s not.

Hi.

Thanks for reviving Eisenstern. You've done a great jobs on the maps so far.

To tell the truth, i was actually considering making my own game based on the maps(believing that they were gpl) and the crystal space engine. But i think i'll refrain from it.

Maybe i can implement ideas in this game(i know, ideas are common). Here's a few skills that i have:
C knowlege: good, except a little rusty on pointers
C++: well.. i know C, and i understand classes and stuff, just not enough experience

Experience in Gimp, Blender; i can also get textures and stuff if needed.

Experience in website creation and administration(LAMP).

I also want to learn Python.

#6: Nightly Builds?

by conorfhjkdsfhjksdfhjksd on 08/13/2008 09:18

How about a nightly build server? This would be good, it could just throw up a new binary every night...

i would like to help, too... i was doing blender 3d tutorials for about half a year ... well, that's another half year ago, but sure i can refresh my knowledge and help out with MODELS, if there's an export script from .blend into your 3d format

The engine supports MD2, MD3, MD5, and OBJ.



Unrelated question, was there ever an MD4 model format?

#18: Low-Level coding

by blucia0a on 08/25/2008 10:29

Hello,

I have been itching to make an RPG style game similar in form and content to the elder scrolls games (with which i\'ve been obsessed since Arena). I have deep deep fu in the areas of C, C++, and Perl and i have quick scripting language acquisition skills.

I have been working too long today to have focus, but does someone have the wherewithal to produce a roadmap for the project?

What amount of coding, scripting, art, etc is yet to do? What would go in a roadmap to begin with? I saw the admittedly vague TODO linked from the Saurbraten homepage, and I think it has some good (and unfortunately some bad), but I think it is a good jump-off.

anyway, i hope i can help, and i\'ll check back here soon to see if there is word from anyone stepping up as project mgr.

#19: Re: Low-Level coding

by scanff on 08/26/2008 21:20, refers to #18

blucia0a - There is a ton to do. Pretty much everything - coding, scripting, art and music.

NerdFencer is currently organizing everything.
