FreakU has reached what we hope is the final name switch. The name FreakU was a joke that got too out of hand and just stuck, so we needed a new name. We decided on OpenEQ earlier today.
Aside from this, work has been done on creating a generic world/object file format. We have a partial convertor from WLD to the new format. (We're thinking of using the name OCX (Open Content eXpansion) just to confuse windows users, but if we get a better suggestion, we'll most likely use it)
The new file format is much like the QT (Quicktime) file format in that it is atom-based rather than fragment-based. You can represent the file format as a tree and handle it all very easily.
Work was temporarily suspended on the project due to being busy with other things at first, and then I was in a bad car accident (http://www.asleep.net/blog/Daeken/2004/09/02/320/) two Wednesdays ago. I just finally got replacement glasses this Thursday, so I can code again.
The future for OpenEQ looks good, but we have a lot of work left to do. My hopes are that we can get OoW zones rendering at least partially within the next few days :D
Happy Hacking,
