Does anyone know if Executioner is still active? I shot him a PM last week about source code access and haven't heard anything back from him, wasn't sure if he's busy with things or whatnot.

If it's possible for someone else to grant me access to the Git repository shoot me a PM, that way I can give the needed details without posting it publicly.

He should be. I've PM'd him about things related to the repo a few weeks ago. He seems to be the only one able to add people that is active.

Out of curiosity, are you thinking of working on something in the code?

Yeah, was wanting to poke around and see how hard it would be to add OpenVR support among other things. I've got a Vive lying around and a bit of experience developing with it from a few other projects, but this would depend completely on how the current DirectX code is laid out.

Sounds interesting. It's still using DirectX7 (I think), but it would be good to know more about the DX code. It's been a desire to upgrade it for a while.

Any luck getting access?

If you do get access, could you take a look at the discussion in the community section about branching?

Executioner managed to get me access on Monday and I was finally able to get everything setup and compiling today, next should be actually poking around in the code and stuff. Another thing I wanted to do post-VR was maybe see about implementing graphical upgrades too, but again this all depends on how the code is laid out and real life stuff for me. Don't exactly have the time on hand for a full-on engine rewrite lol.

Saw your post about branching while going through the git stuff. I'm planning to heed to your suggestions about naming my code branch as development, maybe listing the engine version I forked from (i'm assuming the master branch is v1.16), but I don't really have any suggestions to add to it.

Great! Sounds good.

Are you a C developer? Would you mind documenting what you discover about the graphics engine on to the wiki, so that others could help now or in future?

The master is 1.16, but it might have had some additional work since that release. As everything was in the master before, it was difficult to work out what was released.

Hi,

Viper1970's code access is winging it's way to him as we speak. I'll hopefully be back online again tomorrow morning to check progress.

Hello Executioner,

thanks for your fast response. All went fine, I can get in!

Have seen the first seconds I'm in, I really have to learn a lot!!

Hope I'm able to understand a bit more of this code in the future and be able to really help with my work at this project.


Regards Sven

Dear all,

After lurking for almost a decade, I want to try out my hands on this.
I am more into physics and such, and plannnig to take a look at the flight models (any initial help to point out where it is in the code would be great, as I assume it's quite a huge piece of thing).
Although I'm not a professional in C, but have 20+ years experience as a programmer with various other languages, so I am not afraid that I wont find my way around.
Therefore, I would like to have a read only access, to see if I can understand/improve anything.

I have sent a PM including this message + my mail address to Executioner.

Once again, thank you in advance!

Hello Staniol, welcome on board

Nice to have another guy in the team!!!

Hey Staniol. Hopefully you'll get access soon.

It's weird you posted about the flight models, as I was actually thinking about his today. I know there's some open source models that can be used for games, and I wondered if they could be used. Or if the EECH is ok, but just needs tweaked. I can't really help with where it is though, as I've never looked at that area.

good to see here old user Staniol, good luck with fm

Hi,
I got no answer from Executioner yet, is there anyone else I can contact, or just have to be patient?
Thanks

No, he's the only one with admin access. Could you try sending him a PM?

I do not know what rules are here .But can not more people have admin rights?

Done that, 1 week ago, shall I send another one?

He usually answer PMs, but with weeks delay, so you can send another one 1-2 weeks later.

I've asked if I could be added with admin rights a few times. Executioner pays the fee for the account out of his own pocket. There were a few times this year that the account was suspended as payment hadn't been made, and Executioner quickly sorted it. The last time it needed paid, he paid an annual fee, so it should be good for a while.

But as for granting access to others, he's the only one with access to do that. Some of the old modders might have, but they're not around any more.
