Hi,
I messed around with the thought of Open Raider based on Crystal Space some months (a year, maybe?) ago. By that time it wasnīt so far to go with the idea (e.g. D3D port was not very stable and Linux hardware acceleration was too beta). Well, the pictures on that page say "try me again". Crystal Space has some features I always wanted to have in TR, some features that already to be found in TR3 or TR4 look better. Could just take a short look but a third person option seems not to be built in. Iīm a beginner in programming but maybe Iīll try this out.
Another point is: Eidos/Core want us not to mess around w/ the engine, the levels or even the character. As you mentioned already on your hp, TR and its fans are extremely fixed on Lara, so it wonīt be easy to convince "Them" that Crystal Spaceīs programmer isnīt involved with that port. The last thing I want is that anyone else gets in trouble.
THX for the link and for your catalog.
