...this game, and it\'s engine, is opensourced.

LMAO!
Oh, let me go back then, i didn\'t see any links for the source when i was looking around on the site.

I guess i would go and download the source wouldn\'t i.

Well thanks for the info, i hope the door code is helpful anyway

I think the sourcecode can be found on sourceforge.

just use cvs...

...to contribute code, ask the devs first (maybe you meet one live in irc)

hehe... I\'m sure our devs are capable of making doorways :P  The only reason we don\'t have them now is probably becuase they havn\'t been deemed necessary yet.

I understand - and I\'ve thought about it and seeing that this is an open source project - sorry I laughed earlier... *grumbles*... but anyways there are reasons why they are not there... nonetheless you might as well submit your door stuff just to nudge the devs into looking at the doors...  but I really don\'t think you need worry about the doors being gone in the next version... or maybe the one after that...

Sorry to say it but your door code is 0% of what we need and about 1% of the complexity of what it would take to add it.

The other poster was right that doors are simply not deemed a high priority right now.  Think of it like GTA3--you can\'t go in every building in that game either.

I hope ure not saying u will have buildings in planeshift that will never EVER be enterable, that will just make the game very non-linear.

I\'m sure they will fill as many buildings possible - but filing every building isn\'t allways necessary - besides the majority of players will never enter most buildings anyways

They use a random room/zone generator in Anarchy for making rooms in every building... some are locked, of course, but if you are able to pick the lock, you can easily enter..

That would give thieves something to do, or burglars :P

I don\'t see why not something similar should be added.. It actually makes the cities more lifelike if you are able to break into peoples homes :P:P

Don\'t forget this is going to be an online game. Having each and every building having a certain number of rooms (and the rooms being filled) and probably NPCs in the room would require one hell of a .exe file to run and this being an online game the smaller the download and the simpler the loading times the faster the game runs.

The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul\'s tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore must the soul
Decieve, despise, and murder men.
