Why Trem will die.

[StevenM]

This is great, I especially enjoyed warlocks comment lol. tremulous is fun .

[K-otic]

Tremulous will never die because Tremulous is in us all!

In our hearts and minds we will carry on the lessons learned through Tremulous, long after we stop playing.

Tremulous isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle.

what lessons

For example, pressing G in a public place isn't exactly a good idea.

[Asvarox]

If you want to get someones attention just come to him/her and keep screaming 'come on'

And never shake hands with aliens

[Rubuco]

O kurwa dawno sie tak nie uśmiałem.

(For other people, check google translate)

[Relish]

Hell I only had problems with one admin and I haven't seen him in months.

[KenuR]

One of the lessons I learned is that if you find yourself warding off hostile aliens - don't camp or people are gonna start raging at you.

[Nod_Nod_Nod]

Tremulous wont die... Propably becouse its tremulous.

Good reasoning is good... Isnt it?

Once tremulous dies, somebody from valve will find it and buy it from the devs for 24.99$
Unlike you guys, I really hope tremulous gets remade to steam.

it's all gpl and creative commons.  nothings stopping anyone from porting it to source.  you could even use the same map pk3's with some work.

Except for the fact that it's gpl. Steam doesn't allow gpl games. Now, you can do what NS did and try to use the same concept, but then you'd have to rewrite all the game code yourself.

Porting to source would have to be a complete rewrite anyway, so the GPL isn't an issue.

you can mod source however you like.  getting it onto the steam store is another story entirely, but so long as you have bought a source game, you are allowed to mod.

it's surely still going to require a total rewrite if your target engine is source.

[Nux]

Surely that by itself would require:

• rewriting it to the extent that only modifications remain, so that no part of it is still covered by GPL
  
• putting it under a similar license that steam does allow (if indeed they allow or do not specifically forbid any such license)

Steam uses DOSBox for old games. For example i bought X-COM: Apocalypse from Steam and when you install it, Steam automatically installs DOSBox and uses it to start the game. Since DOSBox is GLP i doubt that Steam is somehow adverse to GPL games/software.

However, Desura seems more suitable for tremulous than Steam, since at least Desuras client is GLP (this is a recent development though). 

[David]

AFAIK you can distribute GPL stuff through steam, but can't do any integration for achievements / cloud / friends stuff.  Although that stuff was all getting talked about years ago, so they may well have changed the licence since then.

Also, this is all irrelevant for talks of a new engine, as the licence would be dictated by whoever wrote the engine / port.

I think it would still have to be GPL, unless they rewrite the entire thing.

[RAKninja-Decepticon]

a new engine would prolly have to be rewritten anyway, but the game assets are creative commons.

It's like people just don't read these threads.

[ULTRA Random ViruS]

We could advertise. But not everything here is free.

[N@@B]

it's not the game, it's the few retarded (for the lack of a better word) admins who never should have been born.

[your face]

lol

[Fukacz]

NO WAI !

It will not.

[vcxzet]

NO WAI !

It will not.

What do  you mean? Is the grave I am dancing on right now empty?

[CreatureofHell]

NO WAI !

It will not.

FUKA! I SEE YOU OVER THERE!
