Re: Basic Receiver mod/updates

I attempted to download the source and build, which seemed to work fine, but now all the entities (rails, window frames, sink, tub, etc.. ) in that one room that had the floating object seem to have been transported about 50 yards outside the window. Yeah, I think that's got to be related to the &q...

Re: Basic Receiver mod/updates

Sorry guys. You're right. It's not user friendly at all. :oops: I'm super busy at the moment, and can't say when I'll have time to make this better for you. I still have not pushed the code for the latest changes (I have some clean up to do from some failed attempts to optimize the chunk loading). O...

Re: Basic Receiver mod/updates

I've had a look. It's totally doable. Just needs a little bit of additional code. I implemented it really roughly this morning. I didn't make it respect ammo types, so you could put SW victory ammo in a 1911 mag. But that's just one more little bit of code to add. There may be some other issues I ha...

Re: Basic Receiver mod/updates

So I guess that's a no to that last question. The only way to do that would be to make a new instance of the entire weapon code. Perhaps. Perhaps not. I really can't say without taking another look at the source code. I don't think it's necessary for an entire rewrite. I may be wrong, though; havin...

Re: Basic Receiver mod/updates

Any chance we can get random weapon spawns? The weapons aren't really set up like that (IIRC). It's doable, but would require some more work. I could look into it, but I'm rather busy on a couple other projects at this stage. If I start looking at it now, I'll be distracted too much to get the othe...

Basic Receiver mod/updates

I spent a some time over the last two evenings updating the game a little. Basically, I grabbed the low-hanging fruit I could see. If you have other suggestions for low-hanging fruit, or minor bug fixes; let me know and I might try to tackle them. I haven't bothered to check if these changes have al...

Re: Alpha 4 Links!

Is it possible to have an "update package" along side the installers, where only files which have changed in the build are included and we just extract them to the root install folder... Makes more sense as far as bandwidth goes. I understand it is potentially more work... but perhaps not?

Re: Overgrowth on Steam?

What the hell? You would actually switch to steam FOR auto-updating?! I hate that! It should always be off by default in anything I download, IMO. If I want to update something, I will do so myself, rather than wasting bandwidth that I probably didn't want to waste in the first place at that point ...

Re: Lugaru in Overgrowth's Engine?

First, a ridiculous suggestion: How about you release a limited edition Lugaru on physical media for a premium price (plus shipping). I don't mean going and getting CDs and boxes printed though. Why not do a limited run on USB Flash Drives with the Wolfire/Lugaru/Overgrowth logo etched into it: http...

Re: Lugaru in Overgrowth's Engine?

The greater payoff for the consumer is in scenario 2. :P Not necessarily. Some people like to play the original games. A remake of the first games' campaign would be just that, a remake. It would not feel the same as the original no matter what you do. You can remake Super Mario Bros in Super Mario...

Re: Lugaru in Overgrowth's Engine?

Does it means that Lugaru 1 will be freeware after release of Overgrowth? Why would it mean that? I guess he figures that you can get 2 games for the price of 1, simply buying overgrowth and getting the Lugaru mod... I guess. Moreover, if you consider this from the consumer perspective, you will fi...

Re: Overgrowth on Steam?

I for one can't stand Steam. Maybe it's because I live in Australia, so I have a very limited bandwidth... This causes me no end of hassles using steam. The constant updates, even when I turn off updates, is one of the biggest pains. The whole system is really disgusting from my perspective: it effe...
