The XMP name isn't a trademark, plus we have permission from Mark Rein to use the XMP theme to create this project. Of course, we'll be using 100% of our own assets, since using models, textures, etc. from U2XMP would be illegal.Zetto said:I hate to break the party but r u guys sure that Atari won't sue u over copyright infringement? I remember long threads debating this very issue of user-made port of XMP to UT2k4 and there were valid arguments to support Atari's legal rights to XMP content.

Yeah seriously. I wouldn't be so quick to jump on this guys. There's a whole bunch of things to consider besides just "will this be cool?" What kind of affect will this have on the community? What do epic and atari think about this? It's a complex issue and if you just jump into it it's going to be the same problems all over again. I know because I've seen it many times before. Whenever the unreal comunity just jumps into it like this (ut2003, unreal2, xmp, unrealexpo, etc) it blows up in our face.

this isnt a port, its a conversion with new material.
<[BU]RaptoR> were using entirely our own assets
so...no suing or anything.

This is like the best news for xmp in days,weeks,months and still so many so sceptical,vash drink more beers instead of quitting.
I just hope that when they do this, the keep the classes, vehicle types, weapons, and so on the same. The way i look at it and hope to get, that it should just have better graffix and better handling vehicles. Any altering to the way the games plays wouldnt be XMP in my book.
I hope it comes out all right and i wish them luck.

you worry too much.
why are you in the XMP forum anyways? you don't even own XMP.
Leave these guys alone for crying out loud....
2k4 vehicles suck,keep the raptor and juggernaut,make the harbinger more useful and maybe adding a bike like they planned,maybe this gunship would be cool too,one driver,the ship hovering above the ground,and 4 turrets on the sides,so that would be a 5 person vehicle.
I read the xmp forum every day. I might not play or like the game, but it's still part of the community.
i'm just so excited
Ew. Please, no! Barf. Oh my god. Unreal Tournament 2004 vehicles suck. The vehicles make XMP the game it is. The gut-blow, the Harbringer's horn (don't pretend you don't love it), the dice; it's more than just a set of vehicles, it's a state of mind.

Exactly. XMP was made as a free add-on, and its creation was purely for the players' enjoyment. I think it's important not to lose sight of that in converting it to UT2004; it's not just the core gameplay, but also the little extras that make it fun. I realize that there are copyright laws in effect here, but please don't deviate too far from the original...
