!! Do you mean tiles or units in size? And do you mean 100x100 or 10kx10k?

EDIT: In a program I'm currently working on I made a quick level..it needs a texture over it but other than that it should be fine to try it . The matrix is a 75x75 grid.

http://www.excaver.com/export1.mtx



If you change the size of the matrix then you'll need to add some sort of multiplyer to the heights(though if you give me the size you want I can adjust it). This level would be better but I'm a little busy and its just a test thing that maybe you could try . Better than just a flat ground after all .

EDIT 2: http://www.excaver.com/export2.mtx - Not bad I suppose

HEy Pet Rat i tested your matrix, the first one was actually a very nicely laid out landscape now if only it had some good quality textures . And sorry for not replying for so long, Revision and stuff takes up most of my time and tests are just next week so pressure is mounting. Wish me Luck!

That model is NICE! How many polys? I like the engine effects. ^_^

EDIT: By the way, for the ground you should have one huge texture(that way you dont get seams or anything) and basicly use different textures drawn on using photoshop or something. If you make a level texture, send it to me and i'll mould the matrix for it ^_^.

Hay your game is looking great, I'v got starfox 64 and snes, and still playing them.
but i think in your case you made the right choise in making new things like levels, modles and stuff.
it brings a sence of originality to the game but it still feals like starfox, or in this case 'Star Fox 2004' or something

any way good luck with it all.

P.S do you have a website for the development of this game or something.

Thanks for teh comments people

Anyways I'm not going to release a demo soon until i get few things done.
I.e All levels done, AI etc
Just so the demo has a bit of a point to it and also i can get rid of a those annoying glitches still left in the game.

Dark Knight:I don't have a website yet but i have one currently being developed by a friend.

Fido what are you using to make your maps at the moment? I've been recently working on a map editor for a game, and I could adjust it for your game if you want. Heres a screenshot of it so far(theres still a lot to code ):

EDIT: Anyway the editing is much like the editing in magic world(if thats what its called) and its very easy to use.

Well i haven't made any more maps, i've only used your export1.mtx for the fortuna level I don't really have a Matrix Editor to use for my game as i'm busy working on the AI. But yeah your editor looks good and easy to use and since the level u made was probably by this then it would be great to use for my game and also saves me coding my own level editor .

this look sv cool. Funnily enough I started a Starfox style game a while back, but then some1 else anounced one so I put mine on the backburner as I didn't want to confuse ppl on the boards with two such similar games. One day I may get round t finishing my own version, but I'm concentrting on deathbed atm Anyway the other version seemingly dissappeared. Don't let this happen to yours, it looks to be coming on well

The problem is that my AI routine uses DBpro exclusive commands(ie Vectors, Types etc) to work, it wouldn't work in DBC(which i think you have unless youve upgraded recently).


What i'm adding next is realistic team Ai using state of the art Calling for help!

Right, I've edited it enough to be useable..
There is a config file(the program will make it if its not there) that can be edited to use different textures(DONT change the other values, the program doesnt yet work with other values). The arrow keys move the camera. Its easy to work out how to edit . Moving the mouse will move the 3D cursor around, the left mouse button raises terrain, right mouse lowers . Its quite easy to see how to save and load(unless your cMc perhaps..which your not ).

http://www.excaver.com/leveleditor.rar

You can try adding objects, but they cant be moved or anything . I'll update this soon to allow stuff like that(including matrix size changing). Have fun! Oh yeh, put a texture.jpg(matrix) and water.jpg(water) in the same directory as the EXE.

FINALLY! You can load objects now, and export saves the information
^_^. With objects you can select them(hold shift so the mouse doesnt dissapear when over the landscape edit area), move them, rotate them, and scale them!

I've still got stuff to add(for instance, you can only view 9 object files in the box for adding objects). So next I'll allow unlimited model files to be viewed in that popup box, then I'll add a button to switch to object mode(while in object mode the mouse won't dissapear), multiple object selecting+moving, etc. Also I'll wanna allow matrices to be of any size with any amount of tiles, which I'll add also. Come to think of it, I havent yet added the functions for smoothing and sharpening the matrix O_o. If you have any ideas or find any bugs then be sure to let me know!

P.S: A quick tip: If you want to move objects slowly then right click the arrow buttons . One more thing, this won't load the same levels the other version did!

The Demo is being uploaded at the moment... only 45 minutes to go.

note: I recommend using a joypad/stick for this game as its much easier to control and if you have a PC with a low spec graphics card then i recommend you select the Low arwing mode .

once the uploads finished the link can be found here:
http://fido.dbspot.com/Beta.zip

Well im going to take a break from this game and work on something new since i need the variety right now

Edit: Walking mode is not finished, you can move around but its theres not much you can do at the moment (press Shift).

Edit 2: Internet goes off whenever i upload so itll take a while

Large and IN CHARGE, maybe it's big because it's the best game on the PLANET and he's giving it to you FOR FREE


Or maybe because he hasn't converted his Wav files into MP3

Do that bro, help with size.
