EoC_Online for LAN Parties?

[tekno monik]

I was bored and wondered how one would modify EoCo for LAN Parties, here's a few ideas...

4 factions for large lan parties, 2 for small.

start off with 10 moves per turn, moves carrying over till a max of 20.

Turns would be 10mins, with the first minute and last 2minutes unable to jump.

attack/repair/piracy 1 move
power down - 3 moves
jump - 4

comms would be text for faction wide and emergency FC orders and voice/headset for sector/squadron communication

This is just a base.. if you've other ideas, feel free to post 'em

Well, good riddance to coding this game from scratch since I doubt infogrames is willing to release the source of this game to public and thus you'd have to code the from scratch to your lan.

I could be wrong here although and you could always ask from Infogrames, if they could modify and sponsor this game to your lan parties. It would extremely cool to play quick game of this :)

I'm thinking too of a public "recode" of EOC, at least for some kind of EOC. Perhaps some more people will join. Just to know for some, to program such a game i guess 3 people working full time would need around half a year to programm this, and you still haven't the movies/graphics/sound done. I would prefer to do such a game modular, so people all over the world could make their maps/factions/ships (and the graphics for that).

Main problem for a open internet server would be the monthly charges for the server/connection. Although if used in LAN, no need to worry about this...

My thinking was for it to be used in LAN Tournies, like LANapalooza and the Million Man LAN...
