I'm using A6.40.5 ... I may have to put those files into my work folder, but normally this should not matter at all, it's giving all sorts of errors still. I'll upload a screenshot soon .. Edit: Oww wait, I see part of the problem .. I haven't got 3dgs installed on my C drive, and certain wdl's point directly to those directory, right?

you have to start main.wdl not mainobs.wdl

it is probably because WED is making some problems,
start it with a batch file then.

The demo is very nice and does a lot joke

I DID IT WOOT
I got the reds after about 5 hours of playing time

Cool, so it is managable ...
I guess you used some units as targets, so the red units did
not attack your base?

wow, it looks great, how is the current version coming so far all we've seen screens of were your shadows thing, im waiting to see some actual gameplay.

that was a very fun game to play! I really didn't felt i was playing a gstudio game at all.. I wonder why you gave up on it.. you could have made a custom tool for your multiplayer needs i guess(but yeah, i wouldn't use gstudio's one either)

i managed to finish it too.. the ai being too hard was the main reason i kept playing it... and i also had to learn how much resources each unit needed cause it wouldn't display anywhere..

i had to build two water pumps very fast so i can start producing those raider guys.. 2 raiders and your main dude are enough to repel the first attack.. and then after the second attack, you can build that oil pump and it gets pretty easy after that.. Reminded me a bit of Warcraft's II ai for some reason.. it was a nightmare to repel 7 of them in Hard for the first 10 minutes. but if you did, they'd start acting a bit stupid since things aren't too straightforward after some point, and that's where Human's intuition comes in:)

Anyway, well done. This is one of the few A6 games that i actually played and had fun with, so that must mean something..

Cheers,

Good to see, that it still makes fun.

The demo is older than 2 years already,
the buildbuttons sometimes just show up, whenever enough resources are available.
And only the buildings have an infoscreen for the build-costs.

The attack Ai is very simple.
They just attack the main hq (I think),
And whenever they see another target, they stop and attack this,
and stay there, until the next "attack hq" command comes in.

Mostly Ai is sufficient to have Pathfinding, a good basic Ai (go to attackmode
whenever I san an enemy) and some main commands (group 1, goto enemy HQ)
Whenever the game gets more comlex, there should be more complex actions too.
(Build outpost, attack scavangers first and so on, make a hit and run-back attack)

Iam working a bit on my prevous relaunch of The Wasteland RTS,

Until now, the whole game works as single and multiplayer

but I will scrap/remove the multiplayerpart for a couple of reasons:

-the development is much more advanced when accounting for the
client/server issues.
This slows down the development a lot, as I have to seperate the whole
code into a client and a serverside part.

-I dont have a second computer to test it properly on LAN,
so I have to test it using a dedicated server and the clients on the
same machine, But this causes problems that will not accur in LAN.

-I dont see the need for a multiplayerpart that works on LAN
and the internet, as this is just a small hobby project, and
why develop something that is only played for a short time.

-3dgs is not really multipayerfriendly,
there are too many workarounds to get it going right for an RTS.


So I think it is more fun to make a nice AI to play against,
that having all this stress with setting up a muliplayersession.
