Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D Editor Request
 

Rogues, it is time to remember good old times! It is time to go and find your helmets under the heaps of hopelessness. Blanch it and wear it with honour. It is time to show everybody that we are back from a long nonexistence.

Please read it, sign it and spread this around: http://www.petitiononline.com/swrs3d/petition.html

C'mon, Rogues, only two people signed the petition so far. Anybody who has got super moderator powers, please communicate this to the Council and post an announcement, so other Star Wars game fans would also know about it. It is a highest time to do that, since Factor 5 is to be shut down very soon.

I hate to break it to you, Luka... but Factor 5 doesn't exist anymore.

I know, Lynk, I know, I heard the news, but this is what makes our chances higher, isn't it? ;)

Not really... I mean LA isn't going to give anyone anything for free.

Hey, Lynk, you are probably right, but watch this and try to get my point I think it is possible if we will get many voices. Why not to have fan made Rogue Squadron levels if there are many Jedi Knight or X-Wing developer communities around. Secondly Factor 5 guys might want to give out their in-house editor, huh?

Since when has an online petition ever worked though? XD

IMO, if you really want to play Rogue Squadron again, then you should really ask LucasArts to release the source code to the public. That way, someone can write a custom engine from it basing it off of the code.

Now, that does somewhat improbable, mainly becuase this is LucasArts, a company which seems to be totally deaf to its fanbase.

And because 98% of everyone else wouldn't as well.

Oh my goodness, Lynky, are you trying to be pragmatic? I cant recognise you, guys, who was talking about insanity? Is it ARESEN or somewhere else? :) C'mon, we have got three signatures already, I will go for it, but with your support it would be much easier. Please post a forum announcement with the Petition information, otherwise... I will do it myself ;) PastramiX, we don't need their source codes. They just need to give us the editor used for creating game levels, so we could add new levels, possibly from Rogue Leader or replace the models with more detailed ones.

moo.

We can make up whatever reality we want in here and in our minds... but at the end of the day that's about it... unless you have the power to create your own reality outside of that, you're not going to get what you want XD

Hey! Only I'm allowed to say moo. :carms:

Yeah, leXX is our designated cow.

Shup foo.

Lexx

Are you my free moo cow? :D

[edit]...that lynk promised :D

I've got a power, Lynk Former.

We have got 6 signatures for now. Thanks to everybody who contributed.

Yes, yes I am. Just don't try to milk me. <.<

Nah, no milking required. we got all the milk we ever need from DSS :xp:

Where is Haruhi when you need her... [/sarcasm]

Lynk is all about the buzzkill today. :D

I don't think this'll work - primarily because no one with access to such an editor cares enough to release it to us. But of course I'll sign.

Thanks, Redwing, you are as supportive as always :-) We have got 12 sinatures already. I think it will work this time!

By the way, unexpected support came from the famous unseen64 where they posted a note about our petition: http://www.unseen64.net/2009/04/01/p...ron-3d-editor/

It's not going to happen. Abandon hope.

Never give up
 

Thanks for support ;) Unbelieveable, but PetitionOnline.com is under attack. It is confirmed by Kevin Matthews of Artifice, Inc:

We do know, as I'm sorry to say, that PetitionOnline has been inaccessible since Friday morning, making this already our worst outage in nearly ten years of petition hosting, and it is still ongoing. A basic discussion of the DDoS attack being waged against us is posted here: http://www.designcommunity.com/forum...ic.php?t=28380 Even though our servers are and have been running fine, and the data on them is safe, they remain temporarily unreachable over the Internet due to this attack.

There, you see? All hope, gone.

Oh, comeon, Kjølen, you could be more helpful :( PetitionOnline.com is back, up and running! We are back with 85 signatures already.

Luka, good to see you!

It is my pleasure to be number 88.

Thanks, TK-241, where are the courageous good old Rogues? Nobody seems to belive in our victory here :(

I lurk my friend...


...i lurk....

They lurk in the shadows... they have lost hope.

They grow weak from lack of DSS's milk. <_<
