It can be just an outline if you wish or background but if you would like to have a go at a full fledged storyline, go for it.

hey Darklord

I put a story competition for the main storyline of Drakan: shadows of the past on the www.surreal-news.com give it a go what you've done so far has been quiet good.

mmmmm I love a good barbecue

ahhh summed up nicely there Assasin

um well items sowrds and stuff hmmm any ideas Assasin maybe the history of a fallen underground city or somthing like that. hmmmmmm

Feel very free to write history for swords, weapons, maps anything really I delete one of the more useless pages on the Drakan Pc 2 site and replace it with somthing History of Drakan so all you people who like doing that kind of stuff can make a rich background for the site.

I started a small map for Drakan PC 2 trying to keep it simple, Although seeing we now have flying beasts in the game I'll have to make it biggger than I was going to try.

Oh and the website will be up soon i'm still thinking about where it should be hosted like at source forge or just on my server ...

I'm working on the website I'm creating a nice little intro although IE won't read those bastard frames although Mozilla will.

Oh and yes those shadows are very nice. love em

sorry about that Assassin my family's main computer is a dogs dinner in the software department at the moment and dropps of very often, so basically what I was saying before I dropped off was I'm not sure how well the Quake 2 engine will handle Drakan like enviroments but I'm sure we could come up ...

yes it is feel free to add me that would be a lot better. (forgive me if I drop of, I'm trying to get ADSL)

Oh and the model isn't of hands that was just the save name, The model is off Rynn I just save my models in stages so when I add the legs I save it as Rynn legs and the hands were the last ...

well if we're going to put the experience system in that is a good idea.

For the experience in multiplayer shall we have it like you can put as many maps as you wan't on your server into a campaign (repeating maps should also be implemented). and when you play on the server your experience points ...

wow your really getting behind this its just damn great.

Its a pity I can't be of any help with the coding but I found out I can import my uncompiled maps from GTK radiant into the quake 2 editor Quake Army Knife (well not really import it can take the file) but I then have to add the textures in ...

hmmm does Quake 2 have any graphical upgrade mod being made for it like tenebrae for Quake 1, http://www.tenebrae2.com and yes this engine is based on Quake 1 even though it looks like Doom 3.

I can't seem to find one but that just means its not hosted on Planet Quake we could always use tenebrae ...

yes I can understand your reasoning for the Quake 2 engine its a already has alot of the game play we want i'm just a bit worried about the engine being unbale to sustain large enviroments like Drakan does but I guess if this was a prob we could put in loading points like in Morrowind around the ...

hmmm we could modify the quake 2 editor couldn't we.
Or we could use a more advanced free engine like Crystal Space the same engine planeshift uses http://crystal.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/tiki-view_articles.php or http://www.ogre3d.org/ .
and we could also go rather basic with www.3dstate.com to ...
