LukA_YJK Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 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
LukA_YJK Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 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. Dear LucasArts and Factor 5, We are a group of enthusiastic fans of your great PC platform computer game, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D. For more than ten years this game, which became a Star Wars arcade game classics, was a source of inspiration for many and many Star Wars fans. But unlike some other Star Wars games there is not any tool available which would let fan community to expand the game by developing additional levels and modifications. As it is known Factor5 used its in-house level editor L3D to design game levels for Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader. In fact this tool is not used anymore for any other games because it is out-of-date by now. Therefore we ask you to release freely the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D level editor. It would allow us to use our creativity to revive the game and expand it with fantastic add-ons. The editor would also serve as a new item in the arsenal of all those enthusiastic fans of Star Wars games. We are very much looking forward for your kind and helpful decision Sincerely, The Undersigned
Lynk Former Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I hate to break it to you, Luka... but Factor 5 doesn't exist anymore.
LukA_YJK Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 I know, Lynk, I know, I heard the news, but this is what makes our chances higher, isn't it?
Lynk Former Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Not really... I mean LA isn't going to give anyone anything for free.
LukA_YJK Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Hey, Lynk, you are probably right, but watch this and try to get my point (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)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?
Lynk Former Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Since when has an online petition ever worked though? XD
jrrtoken Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 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.
Lynk Former Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 And because 98% of everyone else wouldn't as well.
LukA_YJK Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Since when has an online petition ever worked though? XDOh 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.
Lynk Former Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 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
