so i would have to fork from your source to do a FF8 version...gotcha. well i might much later, so i guess i have to work with 7, 9, and xenogears first.
You do realize that's a fairly BIG arena. Also last I checked chrono compendium had made progress with Chrono cross.
It's not that simple to add some game. You can't compile with it or something. You need to create exporters from all data this game has to Q-Gears. now q-gears is mostly framework that can load models, music, scripts and allow some iteractions between them. it's still a lont way until this can be real game. Next milestone must allow anyone run through few start maps of all 3 games I want to support.
Exporters from FFVIII is posible, but it's a lot of work. I'm not a big fan of FFVIII so i won't do it. I work with FFVII FFIX and Xenogears. you can help anyway. There are a lot of things that anyone can do.
Someone can create all menu's from FFVII for example. It's not that much work =) I create just two windows.
Akari do you keep incremental source snap shots for when you make a version change? I was muddling at that just a bit ago and it appears your versioned releases are binary only, (which I can't use since I'm on Linux these days). I'll have to just 'get the source code' hopefully you won't break anything in your updates so I can test it at least.

FFVIII was a big change, but for some reason I liked it better than FFIX

Erstwhile I was considering the addition of a pipe of spoken text to Qgears for speech (not recorded voice but synthesis). I haven't messed with microsoft speech tools but I have found a reasonable library for doing so apart from MS. MS tools are based on CMU's work (the licensing allows them to do this). It appears they had professional voice actors to generate the based data and did some editing. All in all it would be about a few months of work by them from what I could analyse. Erstwhile I'll have to see what sort of DB engine you are using as well.
Source code peering time, I presume you use Code blocks?
