Guys, can we please stop this? It's really sad. Take it to pm's.



Me neither!




I'm not posting any eyecandy until I have a significant amount of things in which there is eyecandy of good quality, to show off. Currently debating if I should use Ifafudafi's plasma pack:

and the other tags in his campaign pack.

Gameplay and enemies will all be adjusted to fit in that case.

Sure if you want to fight the exact same wave over and over again with jacked fp animations, no music, and no idea what's going on as well as animated versions of Jessie And James doing their Team Rocket Dance above you as you battle the same grunts, elites, and jackals over and over again.

Try not to do anything that Moose wouldn't want you too...

I don't believe Moose would have a problem with me using the tags, as they are very high quality...

Another reason for using them is that with the current default weapon set there really isn't much variety, and that's my basis for using them... Still not sure tho.

All right. The serious has started. Back from college with family for a while. Let's see how much time I can plug each day on FF Descent and my other related projects!

I tip my hat to ya.

I STRONGLY STRONGLY AGREE!!!

(By that I don't mean, having a humongous map with unbalanced vehicles that make it impossible to kill anything).

i know i've seen a picture of him on his fb

I'm missing bloody strings for control panels. FFFFFF I forgot where and what you do with them. I'm in for a long haul tonight to get those fixed.
Edited by Dwood on Apr 14, 2011 at 10:16 PM

Custom object names string list. Bottom of the scenario.

no go. And changing the hud index of the control panel was a no-go too.

Reference it with Sapien; if you were to do it with Guerilla, there's the chance that you'll save it in Guerilla then save over it with Sapien. Make sure that it's referenced correctly; that's all I can tell you.

stfu

spelt my name wrong

Fight continued

That wasn't the issue. You can reference in Guer without an issue, but you can't specify the string for a specific control in guerilla. It's in sapien, and it's specific per placed control. Apparently it can't be done in guerilla, period. And that's exactly where I was searching.

Edit: And apparently i'm dumb and just over-wrote the scenario I was working on with the default.

Edited by Dwood on Apr 15, 2011 at 12:03 PM

The whole thing can be done in Guerilla; I only said to use Sapien because there was the chance of human error :P

Status update:
Equipment works. (bubble shield etc etc. Need to replace model with bubble shield base)

Major bug: If player has more than 9 lives or more they lose two when they die. Reason for bug is very elusive... going to require refactoring of scripts.. in progress today

Currently the wave composition and method imo is pretty boring and difficult... one of the reasons FF_Portent took so long to make is because of the method. Redoing that as the scripts get re-factored.

Jackals have their head sticking through their shields.. pretty annoying, i'll see if I can't fix.

Currently it's something like X waves then bonus wave.... I like this method somewhat, only problem is a lack of variety/unpredictability in each wave.

Edit: Going to see what I can do about those tonight...
Edited by Dwood on Apr 16, 2011 at 07:58 PM

I thought there was a script that spawns random weapons,encounters...etc...

Sooo uhh it's magically reducing lives by 1 every time the player dies if the player has more than 9. Makes no sense.
Edited by Dwood on Apr 16, 2011 at 09:11 PM

Just give the player 8 lives then

And I think you should stick with a traditional firefight system, 5 waves of increasing difficulty, not randomized. As for unpredictability, add hunters and drones into the harder waves. Maybe even get someone to make some Skirmishers for this project. You could also have sniper jackals in the distance or running around on the map but i think you'd need to add two handed animations to the jackals

idk about airstikes on that bsp. Seems a bit too ownage.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF MOOSE, IF THE HUNTING SEASON WEREN'T OVER I WOULD KILL YOU. *shakes fist*

This problem has been eluding me for 4 days... found the problem... so dumb.

There's a beta? Where do you download????

there's an alpha (pre-beta) but not a beta YET....

Edit: Lol beat ya L28 :P
Edited by Skyancez3o4 on Apr 18, 2011 at 08:43 PM

Oh ok, I wanna play the beta when it comes out so yeah

lol i remember when me and a bunch of other peeps got banned for quoting like theres no tommorow, anyway why would you want a beta when sooner or later theres gonna be a final? i dont get why everyone always wants a beta for something, learn to wait. the final is always the best.
