hi to everyone
this thread is about OpenTyrian2000, a project with an high hype but not well discussed on the forum.
1: Ok, explain me what is exactly OpenTyrian2000?
OT2k is the unofficial name of a development branch of OT Classic. Tyrian2000 is the last official version of Tyrian, with lot of new things over the previous 2.1 version (which is used by OpenTyrian): a new episode, new weapons, new ships, new enemies and few other things.
OT2k is the port of the Tyrian2000 data, using the OpenTyrian engine.
2: Is the problem resolvable simply replacing 2.1 data with 2000 data?
No. Tyrian2000 use different file formats, so the engine has to be upgraded to use correctly the data.
3: uhm there are not binaries for this version. How do i play?
First of all assume the 2000 branch as PRE-ALPHA, since the episode 5 is not playable. You should compile it from sources, check the main page of the project.
4: WTF! not completed yet? is a game of 1999!
Hey man, calm down. The main programmers of the OT project choose to use 2.1 long time ago, and they continued to develop the game engine using those data files. Only a programmer is working on 2000, and he is a very busy person. so you have to wait for a working version.
5: Why are the efforts of the programmers, not focused for OT2k?
They choose to give priority to other works, optimization and bug fixes in primis.
6: where can i find informations about Tyrian2000?
Check wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_%28video_game%29
