Okay, I'm currently re-writting my map editor as now the game imports the sprites form a spritesheet my old system has been deemed obsolete.
Does anyone know where I can download the e-mail x-com map editor? I never used it myself but it would be good to take a look to help design the layout on my map editor which I will bundle with the game itself.
Also, any ideas on what game modes I should include? At present I think I will use a system whereby the game client posts data to a site via the POST command where it is stored in a SQL database, the other players client will then be able to download the turn by viewing a php script on the server (server will usually hold moves for about six months or until a game is finished.). I will also add an e-mail option where by you get a block of code and you copy and paste it into the client to play the move.
Any ideas are welcome. Progress is slow but steady at the moment, I'm aiming for a straight remake with very few new features so hopefully it will only take a few months.
I also posted this over at strategycore (http://www.strategycore.co.uk/forums/X-Com-Reborn-t7432.html&) and the lack of any interest at all makes me wonder if I should waste my time trying to make it?
Ah well.
