Phantom edition features possible?

Open Adrenalyzer opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi, is it possible to add features from the Phantom edition to your rewrite?

Mainly the improved and modernized physics as that would be nice. Great job BTW. Thank you.

There's no source release for phantom edition. Of course it's possible to re-implement the same (or at least similar) features here as well.

Before that, we should probably get a grip on the physics discrepancies with the original. Sadly, my time is quite limited at the moment :/

Ah well. I wasn't aware of that issue. Have asked if he would be cool with sharing the new physics here so lets see:

If you don't as you don't get so hopefully he's a generous soul and helps out another developer. Thank you.

If the author does not reply, what about reverse engineering phantom-edition with a disassembler (eg: binary ninja, ghidra, ida, ...)

Maybe most changes are just a few lines inside ship_resolve_nose_collision and ship_resolve_wing_collision functions. Finding the variable that specify collision mode in options and checking code references might help.
