Great success! My runtime object streamer works Now I'm gonna change the terrain generation so it generates in Editing mode (when the game is not running), so I can place buildings etc. without having to code a seperate in-game level editor, and have my world persists without having to save it to a file.

i used to love that little red truck, best of all the vehicles. Don't know why. I thought it was cute.

Well, it's not that little, it drives slow as hell and has a horrible turning radius... But the engine sound is excellent!

This project actually poked my brain into remembering a little project called Outerra:

"Poor man" my ass, there's a ginormous bag of SWAG sitting right next to you! THE AUDACITY!
This is the same (kinda) scene from the original game: Last edited by Cherno; 07 October 2015 at 20:57. |

Thanks. My little quest system is working good so far, by the way. Now I have to write the GUI for the inventory system, pretty easy as the inventory itself is already in place.

Inching forward to the first proper demo release...
Current task: Implementing some weapons. Planned so far is the pistol, assault rifle (M16A2), missile launcher (AT-4, but possibly guided), a sniper rifle and maybe hand grenades. Also implemented is the round minimap with variable range. The compass bar has become somewhat superfluous so maybe I will get rid of it, make it optional, or tie it to a special item. Having one icon on teh compass bar for every building and vehicle is too much clutter anyway, and objects are too spread out and placed to randomly to use "points of interest" as in Fallout 3/NV and Skyrim. Also², I am currently working on a pixelization script that renders the game at 256x256 or similar to give that really old-school feeling of playing the Amiga with a crappy CRT monitor Edit: Enemy (red) uniform is also kind of implemented, but there is no item for it yet.

Really looking forward to trying it out, is there an option to invert the mouse (Y axis)?

Im salivating waiting to play a newer build. Also i was going to ask about the music. Can you make a way to supply a mp3 for the title tune (the original tune is an Activision pro format) so i think its easier to supply it as a mp3 rather than support some weird esoteric player. I also wouldn't bundle it with the tune as Activision would be the type to sue you. |

Hmm... I have a problem
The player/soldier model needs to be replaced because it is not possible to animate it satisfactory (not enough vertices in the shoulder area for deforming), and those wafer-thing arms look really bad. On the otehr hand, the model is iconic and I really like the blocky look. So now I'm pondering creating a new one outright that won't have any similarity with the original one, and with a higher poly count, or trying to somehow make animations and mesh deformations work with the old style... Which would probably lead to lots of mesh intersecting/overlapping, weird deformations, and overall shoddy appreance. |

Spent the last couple of days in a little test chamber of sorts with nothing but a character, a target and some weapons, trying to figure out how to script the shooting animations. I finally got it to work after some quite frustrating moments (Unity crashing randomly during runtime ad taking my two prefab weapons with it which I spent hours setting up!) Oh well. At least that chapter is pretty much behind me... I hope
Edit: New character model is also done, It looks very close to the old one but has arms that actually have some volume to them I opted for the cheap cop out of just making the arms seperate meshes not connected to the shoulders so there is no deformation problem, but it can looks pretty jagged at certain angles. Oh well, thats 1991 graphics for ya. |

Back with more good news: The results from the research lab (as outlines above) have been successfully integrated into the "real" environment. Now I have a pistol, assault rifle, sniper rifle, and a missile launcher with guided missiles. The sniper rifle has a scope, of course Who knows, maybe this weekend I will mange to complete teh current build and upload it. Stay tuned
The green box is just a debug thingy representing the camera frustrum (I made his shot from the scene window, not from the game window). Fun fact: first, I wanted to make the screenshot inside the church to show the pulpit and stained glass window in teh background, but after a few salvoes of the assault rifle the church blew up Last edited by Cherno; 07 October 2015 at 20:59. |
