PlaneShift and Crystal Space announcement
« on: September 17, 2010, 04:15:06 pm »
From PS main site:
"Today we have a great announcement to make! During the past 8 years the PlaneShift team and the Crystalspace team collaborated closely, sharing knowledge, ideas and code. The two teams have been working together in many occasions, and quite a number of the PlaneShift developers have contributed to the CS codebase in multiple ways improving the engine. Just to mention the most important developments: decals, cal3d support, 3dsmax exporters, mac osx support, sound engine, billboards, terrain alpha and more.
The PlaneShift levels have been used (and are still) as a benchmark for identifying bottleneck and needed performance improvements. This allowed a better tuning on the engine for production use.

PlaneShift is the biggest active project created with CrystalSpace and to strengthen even more this collaboration, we are happy to announce that Jorrit Tyberghein has been elected as Director in the Board of Atomic Blue, the non-profit corporation created many years ago to support the PlaneShift project. In his new role, Jorrit will be part of all major decisions related to PlaneShift and will ensure a profitable collaboration between the two teams.

It's great to see two open source projects teaming up! But the road is still steep and we need all possible help from the community to make Crystal Space the best open source 3D engine and PlaneShift the best free mmorpg! Join us today! "

The Board includes Andrew Craig, Jorrit Tyberghein and Luca Pancallo.

Hope you know your responsibilities as much as your rights on this honourful position.

Probably not, due to the desired PG-13 (or similar?) rating.

"Decals" are used for character shadows (but cost a lot of performance - at least for some hardware).

You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

she's right, ratings are diffrent depending on the country.

In the U.S and  i think canada, PG-13 allows minor blood/gore and allows the use of minor cuss words such as piss, hell, damn, ass, penis. things like that.
could be more or less strict depending on country, but why does this game go by tv-ratings when it should go by ratings for games, The ESRB ratings are a bit more specific, E, everyone, no bad language, and cartoon violence, E 10+ is the same as pg-13 T is Same As e 10+ but with more acception to blood, then M which has everything besides nudity, and A which has nudity

From what I keep hearing about the game rating, its really either E 10+ or T
Dohmo: Please clean up your language immediately.
Me: as i just said, what i said, fits in the guidlines of rated PG, i was just explaining to the G guy
Dohmo: Sorry I tried to e nice
Dohmo: and i'm telling you to clean it up. last warning
Dohmo: now just do it
Dohmo: No more warnings

Abuse?

@ Geoni:

What Talad is for PlaneShift, jorrit is for CrystalSpace 3D - the engine PlaneShift is based on.
