Subject: Re: US players needed...
I admit my utter ignorance of coding, but is it possible to write an external TCP/IP communications suite, and simply replace (via a JMP and a GOTO) Max's own ipx code within the executable, without breaking anything else?
I mean, if you're going to reconstruct an engine, you should also replace the software renderer with a hardware-based one... and certainly re-write the AI (which sucked and cheated).
Also, is it possible to contact anyone who was on the original MAX team, and perhaps get the original source code? I tried, a few years ago, to get Interplay to give me the source, but they wouldn't...
