Meridian3D Project

[Krin19]

Ahhh glad to see someone still has it lol. Yeah, thats the one i was refering to, it's still using the old textures for 2 reasons: A) I cant do textures and B) demonstartion purposes i wanted it to look as much like the original meridian as possible but from a 3d perspective. Sadly, i lost that model awhile back but it didnt take too long to make so i could always recreate it.

Also, the UI there is a default RC one, never got round to changing it.

My original intention was to create a 3d meridian that was near identicle to the original, except for obviously, in 3d. Once that was done we could start redoing textures, models and other features (such as the much needed ability to jump!)

Hey guys,

ive read this post with great interest, because i have thought almost the same. I was going to start a project like this, but now i think, it's better to support a existing project instead of developing my own. Someone said, that there will be Sourcecode available in the near future, sourcecode of Meridian? I have some programming skills in C++ and i know, that Meridian is written in C or C++. maybe you can need some help... i have also skills in Mapdesign and some small experience in Modelling... Maybe i can help converting the midis into MP3s, too... but the most important thing should be, that we get a structure in this projekt -> what should be done first, what is possible to do... Krin said, that it is better to get a complete function world of Meridian and after that doing remakes of textures and so on. I support Krins opinion -> we should go small steps... otherwise we will lose interest in this project caused by too many problems appearing by developing something else...

greets

another tip: how about a complete free 3D Engine? Main Page - Crystal Space 3D

I'v done a small mindmap for our Projekt with free-mind, it's a free programm, if anoyone wants the programm and the mindmap to extend it, feel free to mail me under: Ketzer2002@gmx.de but first of it all, i think we should define some standards for our projekt, so that everyone who is integrated in the developing process is working on the same shit which will fit together.
