which engine!

isn''t that going to cost you a pretty large amount of money? Or has the price dropped with it''s age and in prep for Doom 3?

yeah i thought that the quake3 engine license was over $200,000. maybe he means a MOD? can you even mod quake3 though?

Yes

there''s also the Torque engine, and Ogre, and loads more. But for a simple game like skyroads (but not simplistic), I guess any of these will do, and Quake3 and Torque have good networking capabilities.

lol, were not selling the mod! soz guys, were doing this open source and freely distributed over the net. Not only that but we are documenting the thing as well, so all you guys can read up on what were doing.

I haven''t seen a mod for quake3 using vechiles though.. so im wondering if q3 engine is a good choice. I personally think i could write a simple engine for skyroads.... but the team wants q3 engine.....

there is also cipher:

I don''t get it, how can you use Quake3 engine for open source project? It is a COMMERCIAL ENGINE with a LICENSING FEE ... which means you cannot use it without paying ... unless I''ve lost my sanity in the last few months ...

Torque costs $100 for each developer. Don''t know about the others ....I have the Torque engine, but haven''t used it yet ... got a new job right as I was about to start learning it ... been really busy.

"how can you use Quake3 engine for open source project? It is a COMMERCIAL ENGINE with a LICENSING FEE "

im not sure but the mod it self can be free with source.

"but the team wants q3 engine....."

Your team wants to use q3 for a vehicel game and you/they didnt give any reason WHY?
