Have to say, looking awesome. The buildings are looking great too SGT KOOLAID, but the textures look abit 'clean'... I know it has moss and shadow, but it just seems to be missing a tiny thing.. a cracked brick, or a sign of aging maybe?

Eitherway, still, like I said, Awesome .

ive only tried offline but it takes like 3 seconds. im sure it will go up a little when there is online but i dont think by much.

i have only tried offline because the server isnt set up yet.

well once tharkis get some "organization to how the world looks i think that will be the determining factor on how fast the game loads, how fast the FPS are and other related aspects.so far im getting 75 fps. with the house added and some other obects it only went down ~1 fps. One thing I have learned in 3d modeling and the same especially applies to game design and the "performance" is the not the amount of polys but rather the texture work that is done. I think alot of people dont realize that off the bat. Its a trial and error process. practice makes perfect.I am quite aware of the limitations aas well as the performance that darkbasic has, and hopefully with this game as well as another I am working on this will prove that DBP is a viable platform to work on. gotta have a good team of people.

The game is at an angle above the player.. so the performance is relativly good. only the visible items on the screen load, making it much faster.

kinda pointless to load a building 2 miles away isnt it?

well that was what i was shotting at. If you are looking above at the player on the ground and if you enter like a town or something and there is like four fairly large buildings all around it will slow it down a bit but not very much

Thanks for the input everyone. Since a couple people have mentioned it to me already, I am going to add a zoom in/out feature to the game, probably controled by the mouse wheel.

Completely reworked the entire collision system and smoothed out some of the sliding collisions. The new system has virtualy no hit on performance as I still get a consistent 74-75 FPS even with a large scene of high poly objects on screen, and doing polygon collision for all of them. Also added an effect to slow the player's speed when walking through water, the speed drop depending on how deep they are.

I can do that right now with my bloody camera.

I personally like Las6's http://www.limefly.net for textures. Loads of free tileable textures for use in commercial or non commercial software.

well there are techniques to make a texture tileable. takes a bit of work but not much. but it allows u to take a unique texture and use it for yourself. there is also a good book u can use to learn a bit about texturing and proper texturemapping and uvmapping. its called "The dark side of game texturing" by david franson and another book that is good "Creating the art of the game" Matthew Omernick

both good books i used to refine my techniques i didnt know before hand. the house i did was made with only 260 polys and useing a texturemap by detaching each side of a primitive then turning it to 1 side orienting them then uvmapping squaring it then applying a UV UNwrap modifier, then exporting and saving as either a jpg or a bmp via texporter. this practically takes out the need to use "tileable textures" and instead making actual unique texturemaps that are unique and dont trickery with tiled textures. I personally dont like tileable textures unless it is a simple primitive or mesh, i use a texture map whenever possible e.g. that bloody lamb sign is only 6 sides but its a texturemap using no tileable textures butinsterad i made unique textures to apply to it.anyways if u guys want i can make a nice tutorial/s so u guys can make your own texture maps. let me know ill make one.

aight cool no problem. ill have one done up soon. just FYI this tutorial will apply to "proper texturemapping" this way anyone who is interested in applying their own unique textures wont have to rely on repeating seamless textures. texturemapping allows you to make unique models which look more realistic as well as make your game run much faster. be back soon with tutorial

Latest progress... Worked on the movement system to smooth out player movements and now players always move the same speed regardless of the speed of their PC.

Also, added in a /gamma command so you can increase or descrease the brightness of the screen (some people had problems with the game being displayed very dark)

Movements of both mobs and PCs now works together, and also tweaked out the client/server communications to reduce the amount of data needed to be sent back and forth.

Started working on the lighting system and added in a day/night effect to the game. Here's a quick shot of it:

As usual Tharkis, always showing off your f*cking awesome looking games while I sit here with my n00by graphics.

Seriously though, this is looking great! Also, this may have been asked before, but is it going to be Freeware, Shareware? Ive-run-out-of-ware-names-ware?
