    Major breakthrough with Akella

    Oh... and I forgot one important thing: <b><i>I will in no way support any game that uses StarFarce.</i></b> I have boycotted it, and will have nothing to do with any game that uses that craptacular anti-technology. Carry on.

    Major breakthrough with Akella

    I read through the long thread... sorry it took a while to get here, but I've been crazy busy. Although it sounds like a great idea, there are some issues with trying to incorporate all mods into a new engine (upgraded or otherwise). After having been in the code a lot last year, working on...

    Well, the Marathon reference was that it went from a 2d sprite based and 2.5d extrusion based flat texture game to ... uh... something better at the time of recoding with the opensource into whats known as Aleph One. I never really followed it after it went opensource... too much to deal with...

    PotBS

    Hehe, well, I'm not so much the historical accuracy type (as the others would tell you hehe)... I am more of the type that likes to have my eyes tickled by clean graphics, my ears soothed by smooth sound effects, and entertained through good gameplay and well thought out design mechanisms...

    Hehehe that screenshot. For all the wonderful look it has, the shadows on that deck are completely off for where the sun is, and not to mention no shadows for the crew, they look like they are floating =) Yeah... I'm a stickler for lighting. When its done halfway, it looks bad. Either do it...

    PotBS

    Just learned a new thing that PotBS has that rubs me wrong: Boardings suck. • Boardings are done on only one ship, and only the top deck. • Whoever is 'defending' a boarding action, the battle takes place on their top deck. • If the defender wins, they get nothing for their victory, the...

    Good things? Hehe... you're asking a guy who always sees the problems in things before ever seeing whats actually done right or working... mwhaha. Uh... good things... hmm, lemme think: • Water looks nice. • Ships look nice. ... oh... gotta be some other stuff... • There are no "super...

    PotBS

    I'd only been part of the PotBS forums for a month... I read specific posts, and some of the faqs, asked a few questions about some things i couldnt identify in the screenshots/movies... and saw many things in the movies/screenshots that were troublesome. As for the PG rating, well... FLS (the...

    Topic derailed? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> About PotBS... so far the things I have read that don't appeal to me: • No actual night/day transitions or weather that is belieavable, let alone...

    PotBS

    Uhm, Thomas, who are you responding too? Hehehe... he wasn't talking about any modding of PotBS (because you cant mod an MMO, its all server side). I will hold judgment until I personally get a chance to play the PotBS game. However from things I have read that are 'missing' from the initial...

    Build 14 Alpha 7 Plus Test Version

    Wonder if its possible to make it so all the language stuff is optional. Have a base install which is English, however each language is an expansion pack to download that is installed ontop of the base install. Most people will only want ONE language, and judging from the majority of people...

    POTC Bug Tracker needs a Manager for Build 14

    "real programming knowledge" ... "a proper coder"? I was never any of those either <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> A manager wouldn't need to know the code. Just someone who is paying attention to what is...

    POTC Bug Tracker needs a Manager for Build 14

    Ah, well. My time is really tight these days. I'd like to help, but lots of crap going on cutting into free time. I have been found wanting... realized its September already, and well, can't account for what happened in May, June or July (was there even an August this year?!). So busy, its just...
