DescentBB

Does anybody have experience if descent3 will run unter arch 64 bit? I can't run it, I get a "not found" error when I try.

floppyfreak

I agree with most aspects of the last replies. But why are we focused on something we aspect it will never happen? Can't we define a project that could possibly be done and start to contribute within our limits?! It could be a smart little project that shows what can be done and opens a perspective ...

Every project starts with small steps. It seems to me, that people look more for excueses then for progresses. Currently the situation is far away from the stage to lead anything. Currently we see total lack of interest imho. Why should it be more difficult today to find people? The knowledge how to ...

second point agreed, first: what do you mean (i mean, perhaps i missed a point, currently i don't feel abused)

i just wonder why people talk and don't do. anybody heard of cube, sauerbraten? this guy even programmed from scratch. the free tools available today make it possible to create a game in a dedicated team even for people of average talent.

I am online with my project and give a little presentation.

What do you want to do? A community driven or a commercial project? Or a combination of both? How can that work?

floppyfreak

@deathbeam, thank you for your interest. If you use joystick please test my js support before we start the nettesting. Send a pm. TE will be open source in a later state. I want a reliable team to form before I publish the sources. Platforms should be supported as interest grows. People interested ...

What I wanted to show is not the model. Its more about the netcode: the windows could as well run on remote machines, I use a server app in the background with udp protocoll to exchange data (enet as SDK). I will not go deeper into the modelling business. The models are there only as examples. I don ...

floppyfreak

new video with silly models and basic netcode...

floppyfreak

you can try the x2orf tool, i have written it for exactly this purpose. Not a very comfortable method, though, it safes only mesh data. I stopped the development of that tool and write a game instead, more simple then dealing with old formats :lol: design levels for the experiment instead 8). You ...

floppyfreak

You see right. I have rebuilt it because I want to copy the behaviour of the d3 ships for my descent clone. Built with irrlicht and code::blocks.
The leveldesign is done with blender.

floppyfreak

ouch (me, the real and only ouch) is playing round a little.
watch:

floppyfreak

the game was available here in germany for just 5 euro. You have to repeat the same levels over and over to come to new surroundings, that means, the same scenario is reused for many levels. After a while you come along with the weapons and you can deal with the enemies. So far, good. but than it ...

floppyfreak

nice to see, these things are discussed from time to time

Mouse but with a joystick simulating driver. Am I the only one doing this? maybe.

Beyond that, you have to admit that your project is overly ambitious and doomed to fail on its current course. If you aren't a gloryhound, then make some maps for D2 or D3, why don't you? Start small and built up some credibility. Then ask for the help. Those who "talk crap" are the ones who just ...

floppyfreak

could help imho.
one could make kind of a race level where a newby can check how far he is away from the optimum (against a computer enemy)

floppyfreak

the d3 community was often friendly, sometimes even nice. This should be used for the new game. Instead of naming supergods and stuff the better players could volunteer in the honorable function of a tutor. There _are_ players who love to play against good ones (me myself excluded

)

floppyfreak

the best download solution would be something like a torrent client imho. You would not have to name a place, where the level data ist stored but just search it in the net with the sha1 key or something. a banwidth friendly client should be written to enable this to all cd computers in the net ...

floppyfreak

uplink no mo linking down ? i don't get you.

floppyfreak

and after a closer look - they take one more week

floppyfreak

new cd screen - i like it so far.

floppyfreak

psionik, you are busy working to become a legend. When you look around, what comes out these days, all the time needed is stil little time. It would really be interesting to learn, how a single man nowadays can design a whole video game

When CD is out, write a book about it!

floppyfreak

heavy weaponload could also make nasty sounds (audible within the ship, not necessarily for others) because the engine is little overcharging. Gives you also a feeling what you do to your engines and how the load actually is. The idea behind it is, that it forces you to act more intelligently while ...

floppyfreak

Was this the reason why laser is almost useless in d3? Umm, you haven't played much D3, then. Seems like I get 15-20% of my kills via lasers, especially in CTF. I don't want to get deeper into this but I think, the laser ist to week in d3 multiplayer (this is "ouch" speaking) I want to open a new ...

floppyfreak

what i miss in psionics description is the size of the balls. Vauss has very tiny balls, fusion has big ones, why it is harder / easier to hit your aim.
For rooks it would be nice to have a weapon you at least can make some demage to your aim. Was this the reason why laser is almost useless in d3?

complete custom ship skins will drag a server down. Ok, this has to be put into consideration. The data has to be shrinked in this extent, that it doesn't influence. Instead of full skin capapility there could be for instance an option to color certain fields on the ships' surface. So a player ...

My favorite D3 level :]

Where can i download this level? I can't find it

floppyfreak

considering the ships' size take into account, that the ptmc saw only a few ingeneers that could fly a ship and almost no pilot knowing the sophisticated specifications of the ships. Where the hack did they place the hostages? Well, these people knew their business. We are pilots, are we not?

floppyfreak

same here

is 2007 realistic?
