id tech 4 engine
« on: November 27, 2012, 11:10:42 pm »
Is there any chance to port the game to use the id Tech 4 engine? As I know the ufoai uses id Tech 2 engine, but now the  id Tech 4 is also under GPL. I don't know how big task it is, I afraid it's big enough... And I also don't know id Tech 4 engine able to add any to ufoai or not. I just guess it can be nicer with the new engine.

Only if someone volunteers to do it and finds a way not breaking compatibility with our maps. So in short: probably not.

idTech4 is not GPLd, but released under modified GPL. So -- no chances if we want to remain GPL compatible in licensing terms.
