Rogue Reborn is a modern port of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. The primary focus of this project is to incorporate all the elements of the original R6RS while upgrading and providing new features without drastically altering the core game-play.

A while back I presented an article on the weapon scripts that I proposed. It was an exact port of the configuration that Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear RSEditor provided. This is a break-down of what the weapon system provides. The video below shows all the scripting below in application.
The core of the weapon script is representing it with a model and a representation that it is bound by in the engine.
This allows you to configure to provide more precise logic for the weapon as they are represented in the engine. This can be as generic as you want -- Load models in the game on the fly. Edit, continue, and don't worry about recompiling or exiting the game.
You logically will not be firing at the same accuracy throughout the game. Here you can configure how your weapons handle in a particular movement of the player. You can also configure weapons to support any number of zooms, determine the reticule timing, the encumbrance, the firing modes the weapon has, ammo types, rounds, the rate of fire, even support for a safety if such realism is desired.
Animating weapons, providing sounds, and syncing things together takes a long time. RR tries to help developers by providing a system for an easy interface for weapon animations. You define the animation, the time it plays, and any sounds it should play at a per-frame basis. The realism in sounds is just as important as the animation itself.
Ballistics, environment realism, and proper physics is a huge part of any tactical shooter. Rogue Reborn is working to provide you that by integrating the Bullet physics engine. Here is a quick "developer" video showing a bunch of boxes being thrown around. This is a very, very early stage of the engine. It's a wire-frame video, so don't expect craziness.
We wanted to at least show two of the four models that have been ported for Rogue Reborn. All the features described above in the JavaScript weapon setup are being used in the screenshots below.
There are other miscellaneous happenings that have been going on as well.
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU NOOOOOOOOOOO!
**** man dont stop i help you after i have practiced a little D:
I know a lot places where to ask more minor help
I'll be ready maybe in two weeks :) be sure you dont delete all your files
Hey justinvh remember me :]?
I searched and searched and didnt found anymore your old quake 3 mod was it called phoenix rising?
Well good that i checked my profile even once and saw your comment to me, now im following this steadily
Im starting modeling as a hobby for quake 3 engine so after small practice i could join your team :D
Haven't scrolled through all the comments, but in case someone hasn't mentioned it already, please don't include auto aim, show enemies, or heartbeat sensors in the game. Those three things were not used by the laddering community. Excluding the cheaters that exploited all three all too easily. Removing those three things will help make your game a little less easy to exploit for cheaters.
another thing, is the stats at the end of the round going to be like rs? and will players have HP like most modern games or will it be random for example some people could take 8 shots to die and some take 1 or 2 it just depends where u get shot and on the round.
wow i still play rs along with like around another 30 people!! the game is dying and this is what it needs... RS has been able to keep going because of its game play and comeptativeness... i hope there will be a ladder and that matching will be simular to what its like now. have you thought about CV (centre view)_?? alot of people hate it but also alot like it... and what about rk and hosting etc... these are things that make rogue spear uniqe
We have already implemented CV, third-person, the magazine/reload system, etc.
It's going to be a minimal HUD. We're more about bringing back the professional aspects of RS, rather then create a new Ghost Recon. There is no health counter system of any sort. It's a damage system, but maps like Rogue Spear.
Looks pretty good, I guess ill Track :D
Don't you worry. We talked with an internet lawyer operating out of his mom's basement and he said there was nothing to cause alarm.
But, we always like a second opinion. How much do you charge?
The game engine is licensed under the GPL which means *everybody* has a license...
Look into Blender being re-branded and sold as an (legal aside from claiming they wrote it) example of how commercial sale of free/libre software works.
And yes, this post is part of a grand reverse google bomb plot on the '3d animation software' search term yet is also directly relevant to the topic at hand.
