@ shorevietam:
i love this demo, it's like really cool to watch...the only thing that annoys me is that the x-wings and tie-fighters keep colliding
apart from that: thumbs up!

One thing that you should change:

set the camera.arc=90; (or 80 or so)
This is especially important to have enough oversight in a 3-dimensional battle,
as the standard of 60 of the arc is always to low for first person views in games.

Shorevietam you should make a screensaver out of it, would be perfect. (The colliding is okey, happens in the movie too sometimes actually..)

Cheers

Does anyone know how to set up a 3dgs Program, so that it will start
as a screensaver?

@derOmega

Hab' ich zwar nie egspielt, aber vieleicht erinnert dich die neue version ja noch ein wenig merh daran..


@tompo

I improved the sound atmosphere a bit by not creating far away sounds, what causes the engine and explosion sounds to stay alive until they are finished.


@frazzle

It's a matter of fun, I decide carefully what game I start making and normally it turns out as expected what makes a lot of fun and gives motivation in further improvements.


@Tempelbauer

Good luck for what?
It's only a just for fun "demo", well but maybe contiec wants to use it (with own starship models and sounds) as a techdemo, who knows.


@RJDL

If fixed a lot of the collision problems, but more in the new features section.


@Damocles

I just read your posting about the camera angle, I tried it, but my cockpit model does not fit the view angle any more.


@PHeMoX

Well... do you know how to make it a screensaver?



It is now possible to take over X-Wings!

A new system heavily reduced the collision rate!

Full command list:

• - Switch to another X-Wing: Mouse left in watch-mode
  
• - Fire Blaster: Mouse left in battle-mode
  
• - Switch to battle-mode (take over the current X-Wing): Mouse right in watch-mode
  
• - Control X-Wing: WASD in battle-mode
  
• - Accellerate X-Wing: left-shift in battle-mode
  
• - Slow down X-Wing: left-ctrl in battle-mode
  
• - Switch camera-mode: 1, 2, 3, 4 in watch-mode
  
• - (De-)activate automatic camera-mode: 5 in watch-mode

Hunting a Tie Fighter in battle-mode.

Nice update as always, 'the take over control options' is nice but it doens't fit the style of this game due to the fact that it was supposed to be a selfworking battle ^^ Anyway, nice effort

Cheers

Hi Shore, nur eine Kleinigkeit, aber die Texturierung der Weltallkugel ist Dir sehr gelungen. Mir ist gleich die unheimlich hohe Dichte der Sterne aufgefallen und die Schärfe der Darstellung. Jedes einzelne Polygon auf eine Fläche zu setzten und dadurch einen Kacheleffekt zu erzielen, das ist sehr vorteilhaft.

seehr geil ja wie xwing vs tie fighter oder xwing allianz ^^ richtig richtig nett muss man ja mal loben darauß könnte man so einiges an missionen usw. basteln bin gespannt und ja das weltall bissel noch aufpolieren vielleicht hab ich da noch ne schöne^^

Here is a tutorial to create a screensaver,
I have to see though it though, to see if it works.
