well than it should be no problem to have it loop...
Correct.
But I meant the copy you have only plays it once... ;)
ok, you kno wut sounds really cool?... listening to yor fav. wave backwards... its really cool/funny
and i would also like to know if you play a german song backwards, does it sound like english??? :confused:
when we speak english, does it sound like japanese being spoken really fast to japanese people??? :confused:
Oh, i figured out how this thread got like a whole lot of posts.....(reread this entire post, you'll get it)
I'd actually prefer it if you could keep posts in this thread vaguely on topic.
I don't mind it wandering slightly as all things do, but please don't post tripe in here.
Thanks. :)
well I can tell you for sure that german does not sound to much like english. Neither the other way round!
when you play english songs backwards, it sounds kinda like german (or at least thats wut i think)
which song? do you really know german?
I got to check on that :)
no i dont know german (but my parents do), but im just saying that in general, it kinda sounds like a germanish like language when you play a lot of english songs backwards (just my opinon tho)
well I guess it does for you. If your nativ language is German it probably wont...
Ok guys drop it now.
If you want to carry on this conversation, take it to Chit Chat or PM each other.
Does anyone have any further comments on the current release of Sentience?
No, we are just waiting for you to upload the new version.......please:DQuote:

Sorry Arbiter, I did not read the last request. Sorry for beeing impolite.
I am gonna shut up and even try your newest version again (even though most I got out of sentience yet, was crashes...(did not post taht because I doubt the system that I had to use was in a state where I would blame the software too much...)
don't worry guys, its just that we don't want the thread dissolving into meaningless conversation. It takes up enough of the server space as it is, we don't want John to delete it or move it to chitchat where it'll get lost.
We really appreciate your input, don't think we're mad at you, we just want to protect Sentience and its thread...
Anyway. A new version should be due fairly soon, but theres a lot going into it, so please be patient.
Misanthrop - if you let us know whats happening when you try to play, we may be able to pinpoint your problem. Sentience should be able to run on a P1, so your system specs should be ok.
All: any suggestions for the new or subsequent versions?
well I haven't tried it on the system I am running now
I got a AMD1400 C Thunderbird with 256MB DDR Ram and a geforce 2 400MX, I am sure your game will run stable on that.
I tried it on a school's pc which was kinda crappy and a Pentium Pro 180 which was just unstable!
I will try it soon in my pc or maybe on a P2 266 with 192MB of ram and a TNT2 which also is a stable system.
Yeah, Sentience should run on anything capable of running Win95+
The only thing we say is that there should be nothing running in the background, as these may conflict with Sentience.
Let us know how you get on.
PS - I wasn't having a go at you earlier Misanthrop but we do need to keep the thread on topic as Behemoth said...
I fullly understand otherwise I would have just deleted my post and took my hat :)
by the way I like your server the download is really fast!!
I got 90k as soon as I clicked on your link...
Cool.
It's not my server, it belongs to British Telecom so it should be pretty hot. :)
Most I'll ever get it 5k per second (due to my 56k modem). Oh well.
I've spent most of my time recently making the interface and all the clicky things a bit more user friendly (especially the mech design screen).
It's not changed in the way it looks, but it now updates properly, autoallocates armour and ammo and comes with the new "quick build" button which automatically makes a mech with the most powerful components you have in store. Once its made it you can either change it as you see fit, or simply decide where to build it.
Makes mech building a little easier... :)
mawnin', whats to be done ? :)
Morning Jamie. :)
You still alive then? Methinks you got just a little drunk last night?
Sorry I didn't reply to your last message, I didn't get it 'til about 2 in the morning and I didn't think you'd want a reply at that point. There wasn't a whole lot I could have said anyway.... :p
As to what's to de done? Not a great deal at the moment. You can either wait for the next release (probably Sunday) or download the current one and give us a super furry bug list. :)
something little I have to propose:
add frames around each window you pop up. It looks kind of disturbing having a black window without edges on a black background... (I started the game at 1280*1024 so there's a lot of black!)
and another thing what I think you should add (real low priority though) the black is kind of boring, either you should have a softened edge or something but black maybe this star like stuff you have in Heroes of might and Magic...
oh and I forgot something way more important. You need to change the scrolling. For your game I would propose a right mouse button down scrolling, but a scrolling by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen would be cool too.
And for the minimap, I propose the put the code for the relocationing (funny word that doesn't exist, but I am sure you know what I mean) of the big map into the mouse move event... so you can hold the mouse down and move over the minimap to scroll over large areas fast!
alrigth that's it for now.
I'll get cracking on a bug list for ya then :)
Can we use the Sentinence logo in our signatures??????
Actually I have something very interesting for you.
You should like it :)
This has been argued back and forth before, have a look through the thread.Quote:

hm well what was the result
(do at least the minimap thing, I don't think that has been argued before...)
Misanthrop,
There was no actual result. Right mouse scrollling is out as it's used for context menus, screen scrolling is a bit poo but can be implemented. I offered to implement middle mouse button scrolling but no-one was interested.
And there are frames around most of the pop up windows, can you post a screen shot of where there isn't so I know what you mean please?
The main map can be scrolled buy clicking on the minimap, but I'm not sure if you can hold it down and drag to scroll huge areas fast. You'd need a massively powerful machine to do that on anything other than 800x600 though...
Sounds ominous.Quote:

NO one answered my question at the end of the last page.....
I don't like to be ignored.....kidding, kidding.;)
Sorry Timmy,
Only Behemoth and I can answer that question and it appears we overlooked it.
Well, the answer's a conditional 'yes' - depending on what you're using it for. ;)
hey arbiter that scrolling will work with the minimap!! you will be amazed by the speed of your own engine! I have done that many times without any optimations that you surely implemented...
and hey go for the middle mousebutton scrolling!! I always leave middle mouse button function assigned to my middle mouse button because I think programs should use it more (many actually do!)
for double clicks (many users misuse their middle mousebutton for that) I use the thumb button...
So go ahead!
OK, sounds like a plan.
Middle mouse button scrolling we shall have.
Just a note people:
The next version is likely to be quite unstable as there have been a number of framework changes and improvements. Any changes to the framework at this point are going to be liable to cause problems.
However, any problems you come across should be able to fixed simply and easily and a new sencore.exe will fix the problem. You won't need to download the whole game again to have the fixed version.
For the next release could you all please concentrate on trying to break the game. I'd like you all to stress it as much as possible (but bear in mind it must be run on its own). Try and get it to do the most ridiculous things possible and see if you can make it crash.
For the first few times this shouldn't be too hard, but as I produce new sencores with fixes it should pretty soon become bulletproof.
Thanks guys!
Is this game like Age of Empires?
Have you downloaded it yet ?Quote:
