Mark,
will you every release the code to Maplet so people can update it? You could release it under GPL I know you was gonna write Maplet2 but wouldnt it benefit the Blitz Community more if you released it so we could update it to something more?

lol, yeah, I've never really understood the Maplet situation... I bought it when it first came out, and it was one of them modellers I could really use!

Now it's free, I cannot understand why it doesnt go GPL

Yeah, I strongly agree with this,

Getting the community to update Maplet would be cool,

I wouldn’t mind working on Maplet myself, its written C++ using OpenGL right?

Edit:
Searching the forums,

marksibly:

*#$*&! I lost the *#$&%ing source!

I have no idea how - I back up quite often etc. but somehow the Maplet source code just disappeared one day - and with it, an early version of BlitzPlus, and a freaking awesome BSP merge algorithm.

It was a fascinating algorithm, and if I'd been a more 'moneyed' man I would have pursued it further.



That’s very disappointing : ),

Maybe we should make a Maplet2, (I’m willing to try and help, I have written a full b3d importer and other b3d exporters, see the irrlicht b3d loader)

Anyone interested?
