Is there a graphical display with some running water and some castles? If you clikc a castle you can do things (not much yet)

Yup. Not implemented =)
To upload the attack information the zip file would be
about 40 - 70 mbs. ALOT of character animation.

What are your fps???
Dec 6th, 2001, 03:09 PM
blizarr

The frame rate is about 75....

If you compile the project to an EXE I can try it because there's no VB on this pooter.

Aside from clicking on the houses and selecting people, does your game allow anything?

Not yet. I recently map a Character Engine to make the 3d animated character files. This stuff is a whole lot of work.

Can you please compile the program and upload it? I cant, my computer wont let me.

How can you really call this a "fully functional version of the game" when you really can't do anything?

Because it moves and stuff.. you can select things. It takes imput. DirectX isnt that easy to make behave.

Do you think that there is any point for me to continue working on this? Or do you think it sucks that much???
Dec 6th, 2001, 03:48 PM
Joacim Andersson

Oh, I don't think it sucks. Keep on working on it if you like to do it.
I only think a "fully functional game" should be "fully functional" and this isn't yet.

When its 'fully functional' Its going to be somewhere about 50 megs.

Are you gonna test it for me?
Dec 6th, 2001, 04:53 PM

1- Where are people to move ? I only see 3 buildings and nothing to do :(

2- I see some comments who where in french, do you speak french ?
Dec 6th, 2001, 04:58 PM

oh I played again and I notice than the FPS are at 120 all the time.

1.) This is a very well thought out game. There are going to be 8 kingoms with 3-4 castles each. Each castle will have its own population of solders (to fight with). You can then attack a castle you do not own, and try to take over it.
The fighting will be like FF tactics. It will have full mythical stuff, like magic.. and weapon that suck hp, and shoot fire. Each character will have some special skill of about 20. Like Summon, steal...

2.) I dont know french. I made the DX engine off of an example =)
Dec 6th, 2001, 05:05 PM

ok ok ok well I want to have the full game now :D

Maybe you guys could work on it together or open the whole thing up to Opensource it.

I dont understand.. I uploaded the source.
Dec 6th, 2001, 07:57 PM

Very nice indeed Evan.....But I had to comment out a few lines to get it to compile, which is not abnormal was just letting you know. Also why did you use DX7 instead of DX8, have you been working on it that long or just following the initial example.

It was the code for the characters, since you didn't include them it wouldn't compile.

Oh! I forgot about that. Even though... Tonight I got the character engine up and running. =)
Looks awsome to have the solders walking between the castles =)

If you mean a startup screen, yes. Im having a artist friend draw a hot elvin chic sitting in front of a tree... with stars and a huge moon behind her.
Its gonna have great music to. I have a guitarist friend thats gonna write it for me.

=)

Is that what you mean?
Dec 8th, 2001, 10:58 AM
Evan

Oh! I know what causes those waves, its when you get to many FPS. When you are at a good ammount it will look fine, Ill put in a counter and make sure it says at that ammount.

wow i didnt even know you could make that kind of stuff with VB.

how come it looks almost exactly like Age of Empires 2?
and how long did it take u to make?

i know i was like wow i thought you could only make stuff like this in C++

im still curious why it looks like Age of Empires 2?

ive never played that game but maybe he likes games like that...only game ive played is red alert and it kinda looks like that but not really at all
Dec 8th, 2001, 11:45 AM
flamewavetech

well the houses and stuff look exactly as in not one drop different then in age of empires 2. the landscape also looks exactly the same. the trees and water do too. the pop up menu to attack is the only thing that looks different.

i dont mean to critisize just curious is u used the same engine or a .dll or something?

when i installed red alert 2 or maybe it was tiberian sun it gave me a option to have a few tiberian sun .dll's. it also added a few thing to the object browser like Bomb class, aircraft class, tank class etc. maybe it did the same thing for AOE2?

Hehe, to get the project going so i could test it, I exploited the AOE2 map engine and used it to produce maps. Then I used my own software to create a file with the images and then the information for the castles.

I also made software, you can give it one picture and it will produce 8 frames of moving water from the one.

If anyone one wants it, ill send it through email. I dont want it all over the net..

The guy that is swinging the sword for my icon is a character in the game. That is what they will look like. Do you think thats good enough character graphics?
