Hola Vicente,

Great news about the source, you must've been busy!
Are you renaming the engine from Haddd to Vicente for all your hard work?  :P

Thanks for the update and your efforts; I look forward to the release.

EDIT:
PS. I'm an idiot and meant to post this as a reply to your post. Sorry!

 Sorry more English again.

I agree with plonkman and matute that it could be maintained, I think there is enough of a community interest to hold the project together in sourceforge, and with a little community effort, Haddd could be back on track. I'd definitely be keen to contribute.

Haddd is by far the best and most professional (and hopefuly soon to be opensource) C#/DirectX engine written. I think the only reason it hasn't gotten even bigger is because of the lack of an english forum. Sourceforge would solve that too.

Vicente, I think there will be plenty of support waiting for you if you decide to open it up to the public. The sooner its done, the sooner the new phase of Haddd's life can begin. Step up to the plate and become the new Hadddfather! If you release it, they will come. Alright enough movie rip-offs!

I guess what I'm saying is Haddd is top class and after the Haddd team has put so much effort into it, it would be sad to end it so suddenly without at least giving the sourceforge route a chance. Go for it, Vicente!

 Howdy Vicente,

Sounds like a great opportunity, are you still looking for someone? Depending on the work involved I may be able to help out.

A couple of questions (that might help others as well):
1) Do you know what you want the viewer to do, like some sort of specification?
2) Does the viewer need to be finished by a specific date?
3) Does it matter that I only speak english and live in the uk?
4) Do I get free holidays in Spain? :P

Something else I've been wondering - how are you guys doing on the skeletal animation side of things? The current lack of it in Haddd is the main reason I haven't started using it. I've done quite a bit of .x file skeletal animation stuff and I would love to help out in that arena too if needed - I know you guys were talking about md3/md5 formats as well, though I haven't worked with them yet, but I'm sure I could pick it up.

Cheers

 Alrighty, I braved the spanish registration form (thanks babel fish) and am now officially part of the gang! Thanks for the motivation Kaneda.

Greets to all. Really looking forward to Haddd v2 and willing to help with anything english related.

PS. I'm not the guest from irrlicht, I'm just a general freak of nature checking out all the cool engines available. I show no favouritism!! 2 (or more?) guests were posting in this topic, I'm the one who ended the messages with sTV.
