@Cliff: I'm using a multi-matrix system for the editing and then building an advanced terrain based on the data of these matrices.
The reason for using multiple matrices is because with one you have a huge limitation in grid size (huge fps drop )
Sorry for the late answer

Hi all.
By now all the develpment is sttoped.
The reason is that we are now working in a different project.
Once we finish we will continue with this.

We will end this project for sure.

I have been reassigning tasks and calculating times of Development, all has gone good.

For now Demon000 an me we will be working in two different aspects of the game, he will be developing the level editor while i will be developing the main engine and the culling system (that is giving me a headache.

Any advise in how to develop a culling system, like the ones in starcraft or warcraft III is welcome. I have problems specifically with detecting when a object is within the green lines, because in starcarft or warcraft it is done immediately the line touch the object, and not to a point (just like a collision system) and has to be optimum. The problem is that a 3D object to use in collisions(like a cube), doesn't fit, because the lines point farther in the upper part and closer in the lower part.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Alfa X if you don't mind but could I help model objects for this project, as I want to make really low-poly objects as part of a test of my skills.

@ Deathead:

Of course you can help in this project!.

There are many models already designed and already prototiped because of game architecture, if you want we can talk by msn.

-----------------------------

I have and image of my problem so you can know what im talking about:

Ok I will add you. Lets talk in about 10 hours.


Quote: "Try using sparky's to get 3d mouse co-ordinates."



I used mouse 3d coordinates, the problem is the size and shape of the object.

I will use 2d coordinates for now. It gives a good approach, and the user will have a good control over it.

Hi allm,
develpment has gone quite well.

Demon 000 has been documenting the code of the level editor and he will be working in a function to save levels.

I finsihed the culling system, and will be working in the HUD to display status and units selected. The real units will replace the dummy unit we have been using until this momment.

no images for now

Regards.

EDIT: We have opened a google sites page to keep track of the project better. It's a superb utility.

Hi,
we have run in these days into a major optimization problem and we were able to improve it significantly (but still we have to improve it more to fit our needs). We jumped from 75 cloned objects with animations at 31fps to 400 cloned objects with animations at 30fps.

Hi,
we have been working hard in Chaos Architects.

For now we have decided in the first data structure of the game (holding units data and so on...). We have implemented the selection system and some graphics on units selection like character image and the circle below units on selection.

We have developed some basic behavior of units (follow, walk, stop). We have exported the human barracks, and have discovered some level editor that we hope to boost our own level editor, so levels are far to be done from now.

We hope to have a video around the 20th of November so stay in touch.

Edit: I will post an image this night so you can see the progress. I know the community loves screen shoots. And we must make haste on that

Hi all,
here is the first video of the RTS engine.
Sorry for the sound edition since it's my first official video and i had more than a pair of difficulties.

There are featured the basic behaviour of characters and one basic level.

That was an OK video.

I didn't appreciate having to wait almost 30 seconds for something to happen! (appart from some nicely considered idle animations)

You seem to have the selection system down. It was very smooth and the movement was good, although they didn't have to avoid anything, they just walked in straight lines.

I thought that the movement speeds and scale were a little off. THe Mechs are the same size as the marines, and move at the same speed. I kind of figured they would be bigger and slower.

It's looking good so far. I'm intrigued to see where you go with this. I'd like to see another vid with more advanced path-finding and team movement.

@ Butter fingers:

For now we will avoid path finding and team movement, because we will enter with net play ASAP because it will be a main aspect of the game and level making is extremely deep, so we preffer to wait a bit so it is more complete.

The mechs are non combat mech so they are smaller and faster, although speed from marines will differ.

@ all:

complete
In progress
Not started

For now:

- We are codifying that structures can produce object.
- We are improving further the selection system so there is more flexibility and potency.
- We are making crystals for gathering.
- We will be working more on levels.
- We are codifying the ability to create groups with keys.
- We will be coding the gathering behavior.
- We are codifying the laser.
- We will be enabling the attack for ranged objects like the soldier.
- We will be coding the use of a player or another, to enable multiple player possibility.
- We will be making the same optimizations for the soldier and Barracks as for the human collector so the engine runs faster.
- We will be optimizing more the engine, so it runs faster.
- We will adjust the box selection to eliminate a problem we have with perspective with math.
- Last but not least we will be making net play, so two players can play at a time with soldiers, constructors and Barracks.

Hi all,
for now we are entering the development of the net-play, so maybe it will take a while longer until the next update.

I'm making a Dll for handling arrays inside another for one particular project we aren't showing here, I will release the Dll for the community once it is complete. This Dll will help this RTS for making patrol paths, so you can have an array inside a type.

I have forgot to say that the progress of the latest development is being shown in the first page (first post) and page for the post (Im talking here about page number 2) for an iteration of development, so you can keep up with latest changes and progress on this project.

@ all:

Thanks for the comments!

Hi,
we have been working on the crystals,and have been having a rough time
with them, specially because of graphics effects.

Hi,
another progress update!!


Basic netplay is completely done.
Gathering Behaviour is completely done too.

We will cut the scope of this release by lefting out the building
behavour because it's not relevant to this iteration and that can extend a lot the finishing date because of images and codification of the interface.

Hi everyone! Here's the video Alfa x promised. I know it took longer than expected, but I've been having some issues with my laptop lately. Anyway, here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW1tvDc9cd8

The video shows some online gameplay between two players. There are many things in the "to do" list, like pathfinding and unit collision, so you'll see that in the video.

Hi,
In our RTS project we developed one object viewer to aid our work in Ultimate Apocalypse, to be more productive and to visualize the objects before we added them to the game. Since the development of UA is very long, we are looking to improve the speed of each iteration by self sustaining the project selling this tool and by buying some models and music with that money. The estimated price can go from 30-50 dollars depending on features complexity and so on.

Our intention is to make a commercial product for the community that they can use for their projects to view 3D objects before they are merged with their game. The product is called the Apocalypse Viewer.

You can view all the details in:

Hi all,
I'm writing here, so this thread doesn't close automatically.

We have not too much to show, but we can comment how things are going.

We have been advancing. The object viewer second iteration is around 45% in progress. The level editor is under a complete rewrite with performance in mind. the improvement on system used for level editing should be done any moment.

The Imperial Caza has been advancing too. We are working on some concepts arts and refining the final model that we are going to do.

Cheers!

Hey, just watched the latest Youtube, and it's really coming along.

I just wanted to ask : in the final game will the crystals run out? THey just seemed to go on forever, meaning that once you build a certain number of harvesters you can just keep building. It kind of defeats the point of gathering resources if they never run out!

Also, the AI distances seem a little short. At the end there there were 2 massive squads on opposite sides of a tree and they were'nt attacking each other! I would have thought a slightly longer engagement distance would be a good idea.

Also, with the squads, make them use a similar system to the harvesters. If a harvester comes across an occupied crystal, it goes to a different one. The same should apply to the soldiers. Create a "tree" for the units of strongest to weakest. If a unit is attacking another unit that is weaker or the same strength than it, then other units will target something else. Otherwise you get this weird thing where 2 squads stand there and kill each other 1 by 1!

Nice though! I like it so far. What are you going to do with this to make it different from other RTS games I've played? What will make it original?

I want robotic legs.

Yeah, they will run out and it's coded already but not working because there has to been build different crystal models to symbolize crystals running out. There is too much to do ATM

There is not AI ATM in the game. What you actually see was two players playing across internet.

[EDIT] When making AI we plan to to do something similar to the following: (We can explore what you suggest checking fighting efficiency)[/EDIT]

The reason to kill only one unit a time (From a gamer perspective) is because it's more efficient to win a battle that way Because you cut the enemy offensive power. (In reality it's more efficient to assign groups of 3 or 4 to attack one unit a time and it all depends on HP, type of atack and unit resistance). ^^

Quote: "ice though! I like it so far. What are you going to do with this to make it different from other RTS games I've played? What will make it original?"


We can't tell it all yet but I can't tell you a some things. One main aspect will be formations and moves. (For example surrounding a point selected by the user). They will enhance game play making possible to do special things with units that are not possible on other games. The game will be easy to start to play with, but it will have many gameplay variations if the player is expert enough. Making it richier in that aspect.

As important aspects of the game:

A critical aspect is going to be gamePlay. We will have various senior gammers testing the game when its more completed.

We will preserve heroes. We think they play a mayor role in history mode, so the player can immerse in the game and identify themselves. How they will be implemented?, is something that we have to define with care.

No. They are all controlled by players.

Automatic attack with hold command will be implemented in this iteration. (In hold it atacks the nearest unit)

The bit I was commenting on (which you criticised when you hadn't even seen it ) was the part where the BLUE player seemed to select his squad, and told them to go and attack a RED squad, and then the 2 squads started fighting, but all the blues were targeting the same red, and all the reds were targeting the same blue. It just looked a little odd really. I get that if you tell 5 guys to shoot a tank they need to shoot just the tank. I'm just saying if you pick 10 guys and tell them to attack 10 other guys, then perhaps they should engage each other a little more realistically?!

I want robotic legs.

This game isn't even squad-based.

If you watched the video you can see that you can create squads of soldiers dude. I'm losing the will to live from talking to you.

In the game you can build have teams (Therefore the association of BF with squads that's not incorrect either, it's more the name you give to them).

In addition,
The game will have many units so you can assign multiple teams to play with and control each team individually.

When the units atack automatically in teams they will atack the unit that's nearest each unit that compound it.

Thanks Mr Makealotofsmoke,
We are currently very busy with the level editor and the object viewer.

To tell you something in advance: The level editor now works in grids 1000 x 1000 at a great speed, with multiple texturing, light exposure and various types of level modyfying tools (This will be keep internal to the development itself), and the object viewer is working with multiple texture stages and texture blending, allows scaling limb selection and to apply lights.

We hope to show something more in about 1 - 2 months more or less.

Regards.

AlfaX.
