Hi, I find Open Spades great but there are some things I don't like so much about it.
One of them is that Open spades users have a disadvantage towards standard AOS cilent players.but that's not the question.
I'm Asking myself why Open Spades isn't a Standalone it would be a very great game and not just a addon/mod for a game that died and that will never leave .75/.76 version.

OpenSpades probably will eventually become a stand alone game, but for now not enough people would be playing, and a dedicated OpenSpades server has not yet been developed.

I'm curious, how accessible would it be possible to make openspades? As it is now you need a pretty good computer to be able to run it. Would it be possible to make options to decrease the graphics/shaders etc... so much that it's near .75 level of playability?

Actually, the latest update added in Software Renderer, so that crappier PC's can run it. It's not anywhere near 0.75 though, but it's getting there.

Sights for .10 are kind of weird, and have moved away from what we modded for I believe. Ghost, DO you know how to bring back sights and whatnot for .10? :O If so, please enlighten me.

Software render was released in 0.10 making it a whole lot less intense on everything, it's still to be optimised though, and you don't need a good computer to run OpenSpades, you just need one that isn't crap.

Wow, you're not lying. I downloaded it and it worked seamlessly, thanks!
If you don't mind me asking, where do I find these sceneshots that I'm taking? I've tried searching for them on my pc but nothing comes up.
