: I know that some person (like my friend Eep2) want all tools in the
: same package, but i think that is very hard to get all us to work
: in the same source code, it is more ease that a man change his religion that
: a man change his Programing Language, some Us want to use C++, others want
: Visual Basic, I want Borland Object Pascal and maybe someone want Java etc.
: So i think it is better options that every one use his own Language to make a
: Independiently Tool.
Actually I suggested modular programs, where they all plug in to a core program. So one module could view textures, another rooms, another non-room meshes, another allow texture replacement, another room vertex manipulation, another non-room mesh vertex manipulation, etc, etc. While this may be more confusing, it would allow programmers to create the modules THEY wanted to rather than having to create an entire level editor (or whatever), Of course such modularity requires good organization and design so if anyone wants to be the Linus Torvaldi (whatever) of TR utils, go for it. I would but I'm not a programmer; most I could do is motivate and perhaps get programmers working together...but even I doubt that. ;)
