Pazuzu Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hye! I'm not a newb but i rarely post in this forum. i have been lurking in this forum as year and a half now. the reason i have been wandering around in this forum and other gamedev websites is to learn about game development. I concluded that this forum is the best forum in the WWWÂ ;)Okey! lets end the intro. I'm posting this post because I had been developing a custom version of eclipse. So it is a good thing! Well it is a good thing but It has a slight problem.I have develop a 3D version of eclipse.You read it right, 3D Eclipse and it is near its completion. The dilemma that I'm having right now is about the consequences that would happen if i post my custom version in this forum.Will someone answer my doubt?TQ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uXai Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Depends what you post. If you post the source files, yes it will be ripped and your work will be shared upon 40,000+ and counting individuals. However, you can post your client and let them come play on your server. All they will be able to do is use your graphics. Those are the consequences that would/probably will occur if you post it.

Jeff Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Post it. It's unlikely people will steal your work, especially if you release it closed source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.LLoyd Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 In my opinion it will never happen or it will look very shity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pazuzu Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 It is already 60% complete. I just need to code the physic and it will be done in two week.May I ask, is it legal to claim the engine as my own since i ripped more than half the code from eclipse? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.LLoyd Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Eclipse i open sorce so it's legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcarens Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 @Captain:> Eclipse i open sorce so it's legal.Open-Source does not make it public domain. There are licenses that everything can be categorized under, and I believe one of those licenses is 'open-source for educational purposes only'.

Pazuzu Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 TQ for giving your opinion! :cheesy: I will surely make this engine as complete as possible.Now i need to find a modeler for the resources! I wonder if anyone ever volunteer for this job or maybe with a little payment. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawntide Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Screen or it didn't happen :DProof that you are not lieing to get someone to do resources for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pazuzu Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Here is the screenshot for my project that i took. It UI is a little bit messy but I'll fix that as soon as possible!>!  As you can see I don't have any other model to test this with. So i just any model that i came across with. LOL :DP.S It Hideous :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnPony Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ewww 3D in Visual Basic 6?Yep, even if he did pull it off it would be so limited and buggy it would be pointless to use, if you want a 3d engine look into C++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's doing it; it might be better in C++, I agree, but it's good nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's doing it; it might be better in C++, I agree, but it's good nonetheless.Nonetheless its a pointless task, and will fail in the end. If his intentions are true, and those aren't just photo shopped images he is showing off. Then he is wasting his time, it would be better off spent recreating a separate engine in a language fit for 3d. On top of that, the majority of people in this community aren't ready for 3d. Half of them cannot even work with D3D8 + simple 2d textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uXai Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah still looks photoshopped. I suggest making a video or livestreaming some of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarz02 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Why is this so hard to believe? I suck at programming and I can make 3d games in Visual Basic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annahstas Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I don't believe this. There's no way in VB6 can you do this. uXai right, make a video then i'll believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
