I am still waiting for my game to arrive in Canada; I don’t think I have ever been so excited about a game since I started PC gaming back in the 80’s. Have you tried playing online? If so how is it?
I hear you sean but I am no coder..
Worked on the cut scene some more today, I had some more scenes that needed to be added to the edit. Mostly worked in aftereffects getting the timing down, seems like everyone was pretty happy with the overall look of the intro. I also removed a large part of intro and added one from gal civ 1 (Ship entering stargate) it looks like it fits and really does make sense since the scene is basically about the past. Talked with Kristoff about the second part of intro and it seems we are
That reminds me I still have to get those "fixed" ships to you, DOH.
Got in this morning to find one of the rendering boxes had crashed the night before so my render is still going even as I type this.. Lame. 1. fix some minor problems with hands and such being render in weird area's it's the old "max render bug" where mesh seems to like to fly around the screen and set up shop where ever it feels like. After 6 versions they have yet to fix this bug, I predict in version 14 it finally may be. 2. Basically got the Main Intro
Now if I could just find a girl that owns me in Counter-Strike and I will be all set.

LOL!!!!!
This is why I love the company I work for, it's real gamers making games that understand what pisses off gamers.. I have a game called Mech Commander 2 but guess what? I can't play it because I can't find the damn manual that has the CD-Key! Putting the CD-Key in the CD case is one thing but the manual??! What moron came up with that idea? The fact is I can't even get a new CD-Key from the company without buying a new copy. Everyone loses the manual and probably never even reads them. So
Yeah I really like it, great job. I was wondering how about other races, could they also have there own system? I was just thinking it would be cool if each of the main races had a very cool looking home world /solar system. We could even take it even further if each of there planets where geared for a type of industry or something. One thing I always liked about Moo/Moo2 was the planet "Orion" if some other alien worlds could give something like say "The Drengin Katrra A
Do whatever Canada says...
I don't know how to add screenshots.. :-/
I would first like to start by letting you all know a bit about myself, I was born and raised in downtown Toronto. I really never knew that I wanted to make games till I was about 21 years old. When I was young all I did was play games, I started on my Apple IIe and continued playing till I got my 386 but really got into it hardcore gaming when I got my p133. I wasn't a huge computer geek back then more into playing hockey and just hanging out but one day sitting in my dorm room c
Sweet you got it working! Great! This really adds to the game I can't wait to see it in action with the colony ship under the nebula. There are a few more things that still have to be added to the screen like some stars and planets but over all we should have something looking pretty sweet by the 15th. Paul is currenly working on the mapping, I expect we should get them into the game soon. I still have redo the battleship and edit, add sound to the preview movie. I will try to get the batt
Where is the edit button! :-(
Great work!! That rocks now we can make the real scorch marks.. Looking at the screenshots it seems we can use the same marks on every ship so we should save some time on making those not having to do it for all 30 or so ships.
I have an idea about the edges of the screen but I don't know if we have time to get it working.. Woudn't it be cool if the egdes of that map had fog all around it? An example for this is kinda like how they do it in FPS's to show that you can't see far in the distance. Anyway I was just thinking about it, might look cool.
The problem was not with getting the lighting working well but getting the working period. We will have some time to get the lighting just right but for now I would have to say the game looks much better and is "getting there"..
The one thing I did really like was the lighting the weapon effect gave off when it was fired.. Very sweet :-) I like! We do have to change the colour to something more like the beam though.
it's no problem I can give them to you that way.
It's funny you say that, I wonder if that's the reason I keep coming back to CS or UT to get my online craving. I will say this though Command and Conquer Generals is by far the best way to get a RTS game going online. You just enter quick match and boom your in a game. Now with all the patches out the game hardly ever loses connection. I played 8 games this weekend and not one game crashed or didn't work. Battle.net is really good as well but the cheese in that game is way to much, for me
Joe I am going to give you a better alpha channel straight from max.. Since I am making all the textures in max and not drawing them in Photoshop I have the ability to mask out the color areas better, so we won't get any bleeding. One think we should really discuss is how to make the ships really stand out when viewed from far away. I also have the ability to make a luminosity map which I am thinking can be used for a glow map as well, that way the ship will really stand out.
