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

**blizarr** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:03 PM

Yes, all this works, but I tried to attack, but nothing happened... Normal?

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???

**blizarr** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:09 PM

The frame rate is about 75....

**filburt1** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:13 PM

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

Sure. Ill do that, hopefully I can upload from work. We will see.

**blizarr** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:20 PM

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

**Evan** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:35 PM

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 the hell do you exit this thing?

Double click. Sorry forgot to tell ya.

**vbgladiator** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:41 PM

So it is. I forgot to look into the code.

Thanks,

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

**Evan** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:44 PM

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???

**Joacim Andersson** · Dec 6th, 2001, 03:48 PM

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?

DaoK · 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 ?

DaoK · 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 =)

DaoK · Dec 6th, 2001, 05:05 PM

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

**Evan** · Dec 6th, 2001, 05:11 PM

It will be awhile. I program pritty slow, cause I want it to be high quality. I dont like buggy crap.

**Edneeis** · Dec 6th, 2001, 05:28 PM

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

**Evan** · Dec 6th, 2001, 05:30 PM

I dont understand.. I uploaded the source.

AutoBot · 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.

AutoBot???

DaoK · Dec 7th, 2001, 01:28 PM

I am still there.

**Evan** · Dec 7th, 2001, 01:42 PM

Well autobot said that he took code out of my program, then it worked. I need to know what code!!!

**Motoxpro** · Dec 7th, 2001, 09:04 PM

WOW this game is greaat...i didnt have to comment out anything....1 thing i c is when you scroll across on the side of the screen it gets wavey...great game cant wait for it to be done

**Evan** · Dec 7th, 2001, 10:01 PM

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 =)

When you scroll, and it waves... I dont understand. What does it look like its doing?

( How much ram do you have , and how much memory does your video card have???)

DaoK · Dec 7th, 2001, 10:57 PM
