My opinion is that there are agreements between 1c and 777 that forbid commercial use of COD engine.
If COD engine can still be used for wwII (or even WWI) simulations, 777 have to face an hard (and IMHO stronger..) opponent on the market.
If this is not true, an idea can be to buy the code with funds from community.
I'd sure make a donation if this would be possible.
Anyway I doubt there's a mass of people large enough to collect enough funds.

welcome fenice, you'r a breath of fresh air, somebody who actually discusses the issues raised

and then there were 2

and now we only need 98 more

lets just see how many people potentially are interested in doing something positive like this, and then worry about the next step later, instead of being defeatist from the start and never doing anything.

anybody for nr 3 ?

First the question has to be answered by 1C if they would allow such a possibility. On the money end of things I would naturally kick in what I could.

Zappy baby, you didn't buy the game when it was released, you waited over a year before getting it out the 'crap rack' at a bargain price, you put your $500 in first and I will follow.

Jesus some people need to stop living in a fantasy. CloD is dead. Deal with it.

Just for giggles write a letter to 1C corporate: http://www.1cpublishing.eu/corporate/contact

Ask them how much they sell the rights to the CloD engine for.

Once you've got your answer then start a thread.

First thing to do, I think, would be for those that would be interested to make a list of items that definitely still need sorting out, and agree on that. This list would have to be final i.e. no further adding stuff later on. This list would rule out adding stuff such as a flyable Defiant and be purely about sorting out remaining bugs, nothing more. 1C MIGHT be open to sorting out the remaining bugs if it did not cost them anything except office space, but I don't see them agreeing to anything more than that. They would, however, demand a definite and serious business plan.
1C may well be limited in what they may or may not do by the terms of their contract with 777, but apart from that I don't see what they would have to lose. If this venture fails, they are no worse off than they are now. If successful, they have an engine that finally delivers what it was supposed to do, ready for use at a future date.

Oh, and do you accept euros instead of dollars?

Send $500 to me because that's all I need to access $15,000,000 in an account. Send me $500 and I will give you $10,000 when I have the account money sent to me.

Warmest regards

Hood
