Thanks for that Motox, is there anything you'd like to see in it - any comments on how to improve it?

Code:

1) The main map only redraws if the selected mech/building will be on the screen. Basicly, if the currently selected mech/building is a 10/10, the main screen only will move if the screen will have the 10/10 tile on it. 2) You should have some type of nutrul cities, possibly heavily damaged. Such as in Tiberium Sun.

Ta,

1) Odd - I'll look into that
2) We'll be having monsters and monster houses. There will be no previous civilisations on the planet, but there will be some odd lifeforms lurking around. Behemoth is currently developing these...

Thanks Icheb, I know what you mean now.

Behemoth has drawn me the button and as soon as I get a copy of it at my house I'll add it in.

Ta! :)

Thanks matey.

I know what's causing those - but they're trapped on my machine and a SenMsg box pops up and tells you to select a player/faction type.

I'll have to look into that some more...

One request, and one question:
On the credits screen, can you change my name to Chris Kaynor?
What is the lastest version number?

1) Yep, no probs.
2) Don't know yet. The latest release is the update.zip on the website. The latest version is still in development.

How do you mean it didn't really work?

If it didn't work - what's the fault/error message, if it does work but you don't know how to play it then that's different.

There is a quick tutorial included with the game (in the update.zip).

If you haven't already, download the update and extract the two files. Overwrite the Sentience.exe with the one in the update zip and copy the options.ini from the updates.zip into the scripts directory in the Sentience game folder (overwriting the one already there).

Gaming,

Can't remember off the top of my head. Whatever the update zip is. It's only a 300k download anyway...

I should be posting a new version in this next week. Anything you'd particularly like to see?

Please stop gassing in the Sentience thread. This is for discussing Sentience, not how big your ***** is :rolleyes:

Does anyone have any further comments about Sentience or are we all just waiting for the next release?

You tell him Silvy.

And Motox, if you mean 'are we going to release it commercially' then we're not sure. We started making it as a bit of a challenge, but it seems to grown into something pretty big...

I'll make sure that the next release has a lot less bugs in it.

If anyone else has any bugs that they've found then post now so I can slaughter them before the next release...
