  1. Scenario Making

    in Game Modification

    Posted

    I only make blood maps. You can come up with unlimited ways to make the game play totally different than it's supposed to. RPGs are ok, but IMO, RPG in a strategy game hasn't really reached an interesting level yet. TTF for aok was definately addicting :lol:.

  2. Clans in Oad

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    believe me when I say I will entirely jump into this part of development when it comes. This is extremely important to me as it is to all of you, and it's also something I find fun when it comes to code. One thing I plan on suggesting or if I'm to code the server will implement is infinite nicknames per email. This allows for people to change their nicknames for example when they join or switch clans without having to start over in rank. It'll be one account per email, but you can change the displayed name as many times as you want.

    Of course, this type of thing needs to be approved, but I don't think anyone will have a problem with it :D.

  3. How can you guys prevent ..

    I doubt there is a need for BT for alphas and betas. but it would really help out for public releases. BitTorrent is a protocol used to download. The cool thing about it is the people that are downloading are sharing their upload capabilities and uploading the part of the file they already have. This minimizes how much bandwidth a site uses up.

  5. AI Scripting ?

    in Game Modification

    The javascript everyone knows and loves isn't what you will be using in 0ad. We will be using the Javascript language, but the functions you recognize like onload and such are web related and will not be in 0ad.

    And Javascript isn't faster :D The language is better, but Lua was fastest. but believe me, Lua isn't something you'd want to code with :D.

    The Great Free Software List

    First let me say nice initiative :) second, you guys probably have a few trial versions in there which would mean it isn't free forever :P Third, use my list to add to yours :P I came up with over 60 really great free programs. Some you already have, but some you don't. So, here it is:

    Number of Applications: 68

  12. Like 8 Q about modding stuff.

    in Game Modification

    WFG came from a community of modders... you can bet the engine will be designed for modders. I'm one of the scripters who are putting time to design the scripting, and the way I do things is look at our game's requirements and abstract it in a way as to allow modifications beyond the game design's restrictions. I think that's how everyone in WFG is looking at it so this is going to be quite the engine to look out for :).

    But as Acumen said: The modders are using the same tools the WFG team uses, everything from gameplay to a unit's actions is defined via scripting. If, for some reason, data has to be hardcoded, you can be sure it was the last resort :).

  13. Any Plans To Work On Other Rts Games?

    in Help & Feedback

    Posted

    They will both use the same exact engine with only scripts being the difference. Difference in gameplay will be scripted, so it's just a matter of learning the scripting language :D. I haven't been able to do much work on it lately, but the main goal of this project was to make the most customizable RTS engine out there. The design document is one of the important successes of the development, you should really get to work for next year :D We should be done by then. In the mean time, stir up interest just as you are. Be open to debate and suggestions, and start a team of game designers, artists, and scripters willing to learn the engine. Who knows, you might even become a part of WFG, but don't expect help from the getgo. Work and dedication to your game concept will get you everywhere.

    error handling I removed mostly because I never used it, so until I do... I don't think I'll ever add that functionality. I'm thinking of creating an XML/XSL template system, but it would require installation of an XSLT Apache module since it would be too slow/inefficient doing it completely in PHP. Maybe when I release the first version of this, someone will contribute an error handler that I agree with :).

    I won't be coding a read/write XML class because there already is a pretty good one called KXParse that I love. I'll probably ask him if it's ok to distribute it with the framework which I'm sure he'll have no problem with considering I helped him with it a a year ago.

    Hey, I started an OO framework mostly because I don't want to learn someone else's code, but a better reason is because I believe I can do one that's not bulky and doesn't restrict a developer. The current functionality which im slowly just specifying abstractly is database handling (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite), session handling (using the database handler), localization (a simple way to switch between languages), registration and authentication, email handling, and cron automation. I work on it slowly so it's not going to be around soon, but what do you PHP developers think I'm missing? Don't tell me that's pretty good list right here, I know I'm missing some stuff because I'm deliberately not going to do some of the ones I didn't list, but I appreciate all suggestions from you guys. The goal is to cover the stuff that everyone, basically, does the same. Please no hesitating, reply to thread :). Yea, I'm talking to you! hehe.

    Try and ctrl alt delete before the computer restarts and close all processes that the computer doesn't need. I had a similar problem where a trojan was preventing me from using my computer. When you find the correct process or processes (My trojan involved two), you have to remove them from whereever they are hidden and remove their startup information. If it's not a trojan, it can be faulty hardware and I can't help you there :)

  25. What Are You Planning To Include In Mp?

    in General Discussion

    we aren't a microsoft product, you won't see us on msn gaming zone and zonefriends :P. I'm also interested in a server for listing, rankings, etc. and am also capable of coding the server end of this, but this requires a server which requires money which requires donations which requires people who want this feature... wait you all do... so what are you waiting for? need the donation link again?
