Massive code giveaway

As some of you know, I will no longer be developing in the 3DGS mainstream as of the end of the year. At the end of the year I will be releasing all of my code (exluding that done for clients) for public domain. Also, up to that point I will be working on all free resources for the community. Post what you would like here and I will try to get it done for you in that time. I am planning finishing the last of my AI development in this timeperiod as well. From here I am going to be developing my own engine and have a deal for doing a game using Torque, partnering up with Ken Beard.

It's been a great 5 years , just time to move on.

great to hear you are doing so well ,that sounds like a good deal you
are getting into. I hope everything works out for you. As far as code goes
anything you give would be great , thanks for thinking about how to leave
3Dgs ,you helped alot of people alone the way and on your way out your
still helping thats cool. Its just real kindness and character thats shows
in your actions ,thanks [Rhuarc].

Sorry to hear you will be leaving, you have been a great asset to the cummunity. I wish you the best in your endeavors. I hope to get to use your game engine someday.

I think it is great you will be sharing your code with the cummunity.

Goodluck, You will be missed,
Loco

I Wouldnt mind Some spiffy Enemy AI.. like metal gear solid 1&2.... thought this is a lot to ask for.. so ig uess this is kinda sarcastic.. unless you got osmehtin liekthis adn willing to gie away
And good luck on your future in game developmet, i hope you dont leave the community

i would like to see some of these types of codes..


enemy ai;
a good close combat code for enemys and players.
camera codes
any kind of new templetes.

i'm not to picky

hate to see you go... its a shame i never gotta to meet ya.. i read all your post though

It's a loss for all of us newbies to see some one with much expertise moving on, but one has to do whar he needs to do......

I'd love to see some good enemy (and perhaps somewhat intelligent) AI codes released if possible, since that is the hard part for me and I don't have any experience in that.

Sorry to hear you'll be leaving. Good luck and don't be a stranger.

I'm the camera guy, so anything cool in that department is always what I'm interested in.

Thanks guys, I'll miss the good times around this forum- as for all the requests for AI, you can be pretty safe assuming there will be a lot of it in my code I release. I am going to try to complete a full playable opensource arena game for conitec to distribute with 3dgs. The arena game will be entirely from scratch too, so you'll find all sorts of good code in there, I may not have time to complete multiplayer, but I'm sure someone will expand on that in time to come.

Wow, you're constructing your own engine. Very ambitious. I wouldn't mind being informed of details and progress on that process. (In fact, I wouldn't mind actually participating in something like that, but my mathematics background is too weak, and my vc++/c++ skills need refinement.)
Concerning source requests, I'd be very pleased and impressed with any details on how to make .wdl appear more object-oriented, via the sdk or something else.

Hi
I wanna know if ther will be a Code for a Multiplayer-game. With thinks like panels and movement (more i dont need) ;-)
Would be realy nice from you.

Good Luck with your own Engine!

So will that one Ai/Templates thing you started making a few months back get finished?

One of my ambitions is to make a Battlezone (the 90's remake, not the original) clone. However, trying to figure out A.I. pathfinding that does not use nodes always seems to fox me. Any snippets going along these lines? (I only ask because every a.i project going on seems to be for FPS and uses nodes, and not adaptable enough for my needs).

Hehe, i love it when I get lots of requests .

I've actually started on a community project for creating a fully playable arena game (multiplayer might be supported if I have time) With the progress I made on it in JUST ONE DAY I'm back into 3dgs a bit and have decided to keep around for a while (not quite as active). Besides, I'd miss all you guys too much if I left . I'll still do all the code giveaway though. The templates are being reworked again (4th revision) and will be the base for the community project (titled "Day One" btw). One thing I need for this project if people can help is people who own A6 that can download files I send them, publish, then send back to me so I can see them in action as I can't test A6 features yet. The main things that will need testing is bones and things like that. I just got shots back from yesterdays work and will be uploading them and posting on planetacknex.com and the Showcase I. They are very impressive, showing off the bones work for the most part. Also, I have guns that lock to the player/npcs hand realistically finally, and it's working well so far.

code code need code.

lots of good loverly code....

It would be cool if 3dgs came with a free game.

Rhuarc while I'm happy for you we'll be very sorry to see you go as you've been a great asset to the community -glad to see you've decided to stay around a bit.

On my wish list of hot functionality my recent interest has been weather effects. Anything related (OrangeBrat posted some wind code that I found very good) I was thinking it would be worth having a community project to create or modify existing scripts to make them 'wind enabled' meaning that the fog, fire, smoke, rain, clouds, waves, trees etc movement could be coded so that you could activate/deactivate wind on these items so that all the items in the level would blow in the same general direction creating a more realistic game feel. It's a big one but figured if you have weather code/effects among your items I'd toss it out there.

There are a couple here.

Or did you have something else in mind?
