    Made bots up until the point where I can play with them. I’m not happy with it, it’s not fun. The movement feels bad (the one from the Test Box I posted here). I slowed down the movement to make it more realistic. It is much better. Still something is missing.

    I installed a profiler that works with VS 2003 C++. I never used anything like this before. I think this is the next best thing after a debugger. It’s brilliant I learnt a lot just by looking at the performance of different functions. I’ll be optimizing the code for the next few days.

    We are discussing with Sigvatr some possibly brilliant new ideas. Remember my post about Seamless Servers?

      Do you have any dadline to release some tease??

      :)

      sucess


    2. Optimize!

      Hopefully the system requirements for Link-Dead will be low. :)


    3. yeah I want to be able to play on my 256 mb of ram computer :)


    4. staticfloat

      What profiler are you using?


    5. What I think the movement needs is momemtum,
      shouldn’t be able to start sprinting instantly or stop at once.

      Also, add in a family filter,
      that does not affect any gore effects and only makes _your_ gun(s) shoot flowers and rainbows.


    6. Do it! I really liked the idea of seamless servers. Definitely worth putting time into that i think.


    7. C'o's'm'i'n

      Family filters with flowers? R u kidding dude?


    8. Too bad it’s not that easy to create something that is Fun to play. Good luck.


    9. maybe hes mentioning something like Counterstrike for kids( with the filter )

      which also means this game is provided with an EXTRA BLOODY GORE VERSION!!!! CHAINSAWS!!!! HEADSHOTS ! BRAIN SPILLING ROBOTS! BONE CRUSHING MECHS! TANK-CATTERPILLAT SPLATTER!!!!!!

      awesome.


    10. Note: Family Filter (TM) only changes your gun(s) to ineffective piece(s) of shit.
      Affects absolutely nothing else.


    11. Pulling up the ol’ seamless servers concept eh? sounds good to me!


    12. If you want good movement, make sure jumping can be used to speed the player up as in soldat.

      Adding things like cannonballs (as in soldat) really made running more fun, I don’t think cannonballing would fit in link dead though.
