I don't know what code they have in use, but regardless the slow process.. people working on it certainly have more hope than
soldat and 5-10 Enesces together would have. oS will be a whole new game, new looks, engine, features and so on. And since its
open source, it will be easier to do more complex scripts/mods.
Your ideas/questions propably will end up useless, but you can still register to their
forums and give it a try.
