Sweet. I sent out the email, and the server is up. I'm going to go eat, but feel free to join (remember to refresh list, click on the server, then click join. If it doesn't work, try a few times).

One thing you should really do Sam, is make the recoil less for people with lower frame. Lower FPS= Lower Loops per Second = Less moving the aim thingy down= harder to shoot if you know what I mean. With my desktop, I get 60 fps and when I shoot the MP40, the recoil is almost nothing because I only have to move the mouse down slightly. With my laptop, I move it like mad and it still kicks up like hell.
Downloading the update .

Double Post

Know Bugs(Oasis)
1. When you research something the menu wont go away and you can't exit so you have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete and exit it to shut it down.

2. When in water you can not swim you just walk on the bottom and it is hard to get out.

3. Minimap seems to be off

4. Two odd blocks that have no texture and are not rendered near the water.

5. Cannot repair buildings

6. Collision issues

7. Tower if transparent a bit

8. At bottom of Oasis you can not see above the water

9. sometimes Archery range gives a runtime error

10. When you spawn at a building the select weapon HUD sometimes freezes

By the way had fun playing!

Thanks for the suggestions. The research menu thing doesn't usually happen...hmm, try clicking the build button if that happens, it might work. Then press tab.


EDIT: I can see I have a TON of bugs to address...

Hey, just downloaded 0.92, ran it. It asked for my product key, entered it, said the key was good. Pressed enter, got error "failed to open zip" and then "File Block is invalid or does not exist"

Looks like you're the second person to have not read the email completely. I said to install version .91 first. You must now do the following:

1. Uninstall Time Front
2. Install v.91
3. Install v.92 (update)

I had it on for awhile today. Sorry, been REAL busy all day. When I get up tomorrow morning (which might not be too early ) I'll leave it up for the day

Oops, sorry. I assumed wrong. I'm not sure what's going on. I guess installing from scratch would do it.

To All: Tomorrow begins the great day of debugging.

Uncle Sam, it seems like there is something slowing it down a bit too much..., I get a solid 60 fps with everthing maxed, but bloom and water off, but if I turn them on it drops to about 40. I have pretty good specs so it shouldn't be that much of an issue.. looks pretty though. Is there going to be any optimization in the future? New beta is sick btw.

Edit: Guys get on lets play.



EDIT2: Crashed at the end there, object illegal error.

2. Can't spawn at archery range because you get a runtime error.

Bugs (all maps)

2. When spawning at a zone you do not get the weapon you choose.

No. But yes, once I figured it out it was very quick.

Just finished fixing the minimaps. Now they are all at least accurate enough.

Not in Time Front.

It's actually because I don't have the skills to manipulate the terrain mesh so that it is flat in-game.

There is a limit on how steep of a slope you can build on, which I am still trying to set at the right level.

Ah yes. Well, I guess I'll have to see what people think of the angle solution and decide from there.

By the way, more bugs fixed:

1. Freezing when chatting bug.
2. Butterflying (don't ask )
3. Water now kills you once your head goes under. I don't think I'm going to make swimming or anything like that, since you're wearing armor anyways.
4. I've been re-aligning all weapons so they look better on the players.

Alas! It had to go.

But Gorlocks, how is it that in your quote of my post the smiley face is different?

EDIT: Finished aligning all but one weapon to the player. Didn't do to much today because it was a really busy day. I imagine tomorrow and Christmas Day will be the same.

Alright, it's been a great Christmas. Hope you all had a good one too. Now it's time to get back to work! First thing I've done so far is to make the commander helmet appear on the appropriate player.

EDIT: Added some movement code for the camera. Before, just the weapon moved when you walked, but now the camera swings back and forth as well, creating a nice effect.

EDIT: Almost finished adding an in-game menu so that you don't have to press a combination of keys to quit to the main menu, or worry about bumping escape.

-Added a new skybox system so that each level has it's own.
-Made each level aware of whether it should have atmospheric particle automatically.
-Added a new system for background level models. These will be, for example, 3D hills in the distance so that the map appears much bigger than it really it. The Oasis already has it.
-Started adding the bugle model by General Jackson.

Sure thing. Just fixing up a couple things to make it appear right.

For now, here's a shot of the new skybox for the Oasis. Much more fitting.



By the way, I had all these dust effects going in the Oasis that didn't even look good at all. I removed them, and now I can run it with water quality on high and get 70-80 FPS.

EDIT: And here's that background map model. Still working on the camera range and skybox size for this map. It actually goes further back and you can see more hills, but the skybox is temporarily blocking it. There will be an invisible border to keep you on the real terrain.



EDIT:

-Invisible borders now added into the level system. This is in addition other additions such as atmosphere and skybox customization. I can now make each level truly unique and set parameters for each without having to make a new EXE every time a new map is made.
-Created new animation for blowing the battle horn. Now I just need to add this and the horn model to the game.

By the way The Nerd, what's the status of your router and all that? Will a server be possible once this game is finished?

This, by the way, is completely a cliff map. There are multiple levels on the face of the cliff, which drops down very steeply. This map will be more sneaking and climbing around. It's not hard to hide, but at the same time it's easy to be spotted (because the players will be very close to each other but will not know it). There will be some vegetation.

EDIT: Finished animating the bugle model.
