I am working on revamping/finishing up Tribes 2 RPG (aka. Ironsphere). The mod has been out of development for quite some time (last release I think was in '06), and it has never really felt finished to me. After taking a look at the code, I can see why I felt that way. Because it isn't finished. It's a sloppy port with a few enhancements. It's playable, but could use some work under the hood.
I want to bring it up to speed with Tribes 1 RPG. As well as mix in some of the ideas I've seen from TRPG servers back in the day. But just fixing up the base game is turning out to be a little more involved than anticipated (par for the course as programming projects go). But I'm making progress byte by byte. So far I fixed #hide, added the RecursiveZone() check back in (I reworked it so it is a bit faster than T1's verison), and replaced the old EXP method with the newer one that T1RPG now uses. Along with other smaller changes.
For anyone interested, I've created a small dev blog https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kyred808 to describe my accomplishments/challenges as I go. Partially as a journal for development, but also to keep me motivated. I'll post the repository for it once I get things in a more playable state. I've been bad and haven't been using git branches. So the stability can change with each commit.
I don't anticipate the mod to suddenly be revived by me working on it. My ultimate goal is to make my own flavor of T2RPG and introduce my friends to it. But I need to fix up the base game first. But if you are interested, I would appreciate knowing as show of support

And if anyone wants to get in on this and help, let me know. The most I can guarantee with just me working on the project is features related to code. Another coder would be a bonus, though. And I'm severely lacking in the art department. I can live with using just the current assets, but the mod could be so much better with more stuff. Map development is needed too, but that'll be later in the process.
But again, just knowing that people are interested in a better T2RPG is enough for me
