OK guys, I figured I should explain the situation better here. When I wrote the last post I was extreemly frustrated. I have been trying to contact Nihilistic and Activision about Redemption for over six months. I have reached an impass with redemptions limitations and lack of tools. This mod is being put on hold indefinately. Without a good exorter for 3DsMAX and NO animation functionality an any 3d app (except Maya 3 which I have not been able to find) the ideas and plans we had made are just not possible with this game at this time. I have broken my back trying to get the developer to release the source code (as it is a very old game) or at the very least, an update on the SDK so it can be used with newer versions of Maya and an update of Embrace so its more stable. You have no idea how frustrating it is working with a map for days only to have the editor crash every time you try to compile your weeks worth of labor. So, if anyone wants this project to go ahead then start emailing Nihilistic and demanding/asking nicely for the source code to be released for both the game and Embrace.
I am not doing this lightly, I HATE not finishing what I start but sometimes the obsticles leave me no choice and I would rather not finish than make a poor excuse of what I intended. I will at some point release a few models and some new environment texture packs for the origional game but that is all I am prepaired to do untill the source is available.
