  • There will always be people like this. I meant making it easy for the people who would bother if it's easy enough. Cyberpunk RPG with a horrifying mass of default DIFs as a futuristic city/space ship? :P

  • Population is a problem, but so is the need for custom files. A few people tried to join my test T2RPG server right away, then a few more since posting about it, but no one had the mod installed. Most players will first discover a server via the in-game server list, so it's important to think from that angle. Perhaps if it…

  • I'm always disappointed to remember TorqueScript doesn't have first class functions. Given how "loosely" it treats everything else, it's weird that you can't pass functions around.

At least…

  • I set up a T2RPG server based on v1.312, the last official vanilla version. It's riddled with bugs, has poor game design, and is nigh unfixable, but somehow it's just as endearing as I remember. I'll leave the server up to see if anyone else is interested, then perhaps do something real with it if there are at least 2-3…

  • @Jusctsch What are your plans for T2RPG? Are you looking to flesh it out and host a server, or are you just tinkering?
