Next Online Test scheduled for: Non Planned Right Now

Hi all,

About a year ago, I anounced Battle Legacy, but I soon gave up on it as it was a hopeless mess of code and horribly done. But recently, I took on the project again and rewrote the entire engine from scratch. And who would have thought, It has more functionality already and is much more efficient! Heres a List of Features Both Implemented and planned:

Implemented:
Item System
Kill System
Health System
Stamina System
Kill and Death Credit System

Planned:
Special FX
Lobby
GameModes(IE Capture the Flag, TeamDeath Match, etc.)
Vehicles

Lastly, here are two screen shots I quickly took:




Also, I'll be hosting an Alpha test tommorow at 5PM EST for anyone intrested.

Cheers,

SageTech

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with this; could you give a bit more info and make the screens bigger?

And this isn't an April fools joke is it (still April 1st on the east coast)?

Sorry for not having much to say about the actual game, it's just that I don't know what about it to comment on without more info.

You do realize that you're supposed to link the thumbnails to the full versions right? Make them into links and link to the image without the th_ in front of it.

Unfortunatly something came up today, so Im going to have to push back the testing until thursday or friday, sorry

@el zilcho

Im using DarkPhysics. Though I plan to use DarkPhysics for more then just collision in the near future, it will look espcially cool for exploding buildings and such, the only trick is getting the effect of the explosion to be the same on all the clients.

Alright. Please do tell me if it gives you an error though, the router problem may crop up in which case Ill host directly from my modem.

EDIT: Nope, thats a join error, hold on, Ill host directly from my modem.

Just alittle update,

I managed to get the weapon fire sound system working, so now you'll be able both hear your weapon being fired as well as the opponent's weapon. Also, its louder pending on how close you are to the opponent. Overall its an impressive improvement, even if it is minimal, it really adds to the effect. I have a few performance tweaks to implement, I plan to do a test tomorrow. Let me know if your intrested, as Id really like to get atleast 3 people playing this time.

Alright, everything is working alot better for now, I tweaked the send system to disregard out of order data and upped the number of data packets sent, so the movement looks ALOT smoother. I had to cut out the new enemy sound system, but don't worry, it will be back, I just have to fix a few things with it. I plan to host a game sometime today, so if anyone is intrested in playing, I'll post the new download link.

Cheers.
