Puh, It's been summer since May 19th for me =P.

Besides, I've got nearly nothing else to do

I think it's time that we shipped this thread out. I really don't like what's going on here, more than I didn't like it before. It just seems we have no say in what goes on around here anymore, and truth be told I'm getting sick of it. Thinking GalahTech temporarily and then maybe off to our own...?

Wouldnt be so bad if Dell Deals wasnt a super mod... if it was a normal user we could simply throw it on our Ignore Lists...

Im fine with whatever you guys want to do...

waoh, lots been goign on, i dont hang on these forums and more and i didnt get the updates about people posting. Sounds like progress is still being made, im still with the project and shall be continuing after my exams are over (couple of weeks).

**Sastraxi** · May 31st, 2003, 07:45 PM

Read my post, we'll all be back up to work on about June 20th or so...

**Zaei** · Jun 3rd, 2003, 01:28 PM

Certainly looks as if this advert stuff is here to stay...

**Zaei** · Jun 7th, 2003, 08:06 PM

Moved the console stuff over to its own DLL... so ill be able to use it in other places =). Need to implement some more of the UI, but as of now, the old system is gone =).

Okay guys, I'm sorry I'm late for doing this, but let's get this project started up again. After all, late is better than never, no?

Zaei I've been getting that GUI sketch all ready for you... It's something of a mixture between wood and metal... Well I'll post it in a day or two anyway

**Algar** · Jun 28th, 2003, 01:56 PM

I'm interested in joining the team, what will we use? BitBlt? DX7?

**Zaei** · Jun 29th, 2003, 05:16 PM

Ok, I'm alive now =).

When I last left off, I was playing around with the net code again (trying to figure out how I was doing what I was doing with it

).

Once I get that sketch from Sas, I will figure out what sort of GUI controls I'll need, and start implementing them =).

Z.

**Sastraxi** · Jun 29th, 2003, 06:34 PM

You want these to be the actual graphics or just a sketch? I can do both but I don't want to put in a bunch of effort that's not required =/

**Zaei** · Jun 30th, 2003, 06:57 PM

Sketch. I'll want textures later though =P.

Basically, I want to know what UI components I need to write, and how flexible they should be.

Z.

**Zaei** · Jul 10th, 2003, 11:28 PM

OK!

I've got camera movement working again, and it's restricted to a certain plane/rectangle so that the camera will never be able to see outside of the map =).

I thought about seeing if I couldnt rotate the camera based on the normal of the tile the camera is over at the moment, but we shall see if I really want to do that

I'm also setting up the networking server to load the game DLL and get the networking module from that DLL... so while the shell runs the game, the server just utilizes the netwoking part of the game to start the server, and go by the game rules.

I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to run the networking component, but I will probably go with my original idea of sending game object messages through the server, and then off to the objects that they should go to on all client machines.

The UI is back in action, no problems there (had a little screw up with the console, wasn't displaying correctly for some reason after my conversion, but that has been taken care of).

After all of that, I think all that is really left is to flesh out the scripting system (which will involve implementing the particle system, not sure if I want to script particle effects or not, though), and finish up the mesh animation system (just need to add one more thing, I think), and last but not least, get the gameplay stuff in place

. Since most of that will be data driven, I just need to plan out how I want everything to interact, then code it

Ok, that's my update for now =)

**PsyVision** · Jul 11th, 2003, 02:11 AM

Excellent. Sounds like youve been doing a lotta work

**Sastraxi** · Jul 12th, 2003, 01:59 AM

Sounds good Z

Since I have changed my homepage to Galahtech I haven't seen too much of what's been going on here. Should be fun times ahead

**Zaei** · Jul 12th, 2003, 06:07 PM

My homepage will always and forever be about:blank

Did we ever decide if we want to move over to GT or not?

Z.

**Sastraxi** · Jul 17th, 2003, 12:05 AM

I say yes.

**Sastraxi** · Jul 21st, 2003, 10:56 PM

Here I'm posting a thread over there now. You all come over now

http://www.galahtech.com/forums

Anyway, I've got some news...

*Silently crawls in.* Hellooo? I haven't been here in what, 2 years? How is the project doing? I had to leave because there was nothing for me to do until the engine was done.

**PsyVision** · Aug 5th, 2003, 04:23 PM

See Zaei's post, new forum

**duc** · Feb 20th, 2004, 10:07 PM
