Lc, don't give up. Relax. We'll get this done, and make it happen.
I'll just work with Ryan, and I'll get the binaries compiled myself, and get
them posted for others.
I'll try to have something up/done by Monday. I'm just up to my eyeballs in
projects right now, but yes I can see how this is important. So I'll get
working on this, and I'll contact Ryan offline about getting some FTP
access, and getting access to the downloads page so I can at least get some
links posted for the new ModRex Alpha builds.

Yes, content creation is extremely expensive. I'll work with LC on this,
and we'll at least try to help with some content creation for the new
ModRex. One of my personal tasks will be to try and redo the "Beneath the
Sea" demo, so that it will work with RealXtend ModRex. I believe it would
be a good contribution to the community, and then later maybe we can begin
will something more advanced (like Airports, Naval Base, and a Railroad,
cars, etc.)
I'll host a grid. Just so we have a "sandbox" to play in for developing for
ModRex/RealXtend.
We'll need to setup a "RealXtend University". Once I get the grid up, then
I'll put a call out to developers. I'll probably work hand-in-hand with LC
on this. I have tons of server equipment laying around (Servers with dual
8-Core XEON processors, 128GB ram, etc.) and maybe I'll just setup a grid so
we can do some testing/development with RealXtend ModRex.
I'll try to work with LC on this stuff. Hopefully we can get some people
that are good in graphics design to come join the Grid, and at least begin
working/developing on demos for the new ModRex RealXtend. This way we can
package these "demo worlds" up, as part of a new ModRex release (once
everything is finished with ModRex and once we get out of Alpha stage, and
get into a Beta stage).

Yes, this is/could be an issue. I will see if I can possibly get working
with the Hippo crew, and maybe release a new "ModRex" compatible Hippo
Viewer. Just so we have something working/available for the community to
use. This will at least give the RealXtend crew time to work on their new
"Rex-NG" Viewer, and at the same time users can at least begin building and
using ModRex.

Ok, well thank-you. Just continue your work on developing ModRex and the
Rex-NG Viewer, and I'll try to help/work on getting the binaries released,
and posted. I'll try to get some help from LC and we'll also try to work on
documentation, tutorials, and content building for the new ModRex. This way
we are working together in unison, and hopefully we'll have some Demos
available when ModRex leaves Alpha, and begins to hit Beta.
At least this way we can begin reporting any bugs for ModRex, and also begin
making "feature requests".
