Who is still using A6 here?

I know I can't be the only one, <laughs>

Always~
Vickie

as i know, Blink also use A6 or only C-script.

yes i do, i am glad i am not alone. Vickie, Great interview on the calgari site btw. i admire your work.

Guilty as charged.

Maybe someday I can upgrade to A7 or the upcoming A8.

A6 POWER

Hope that someday will upgrade

A6 hmm ....

I still use A5 Pro

Wow. No shaders? No terrain? You still live in the stone age, Teutonic!

until 6 days ago I was still using A6, but I got myself the A7 upgrade for Christmas.

A5 does have terrain...

Ok, but no shaders.

Another A6 user here, though recently I've also done some prototyping in Lite-c.

i have A6 upgrading in the comming week or so. im sure when i upgrade they will anounce A8 it always seems to happen to me.

i have learned so much about what A6 can do in 2009, i really dont want to upgrade yet. besides that, i cant afford it,lol. i am an artist, so MED and WED has been my focus for the years that i had A6, so last year, i focused on SED, i am still feel like a newbie at it, but i have done a lot of converting codes from A5 to A6, so i feel accomplished.

It does has its limits sure. However Many things I
needed for development were removed From A6 onward.
I do own A6 however most of my work is done using
A5.24 due to the Machines that its being developed for.
So I'm happy to work within the limits of A5 for
most of my work!

I'll just leave it at that...

there's no reason to update to A7 free at all, since it doesnt cost anything anymore

Don't you have to pay about $700 just to upgrade from A6 to A7?

Yes, but he's talking about A7 Extra.

I see. But A7 Extra doesn't support multiplayer or shaders. Both are very important to many members of this community.

But some people don't need shaders. About multiplayer, they can use GSTNet.

and you can still use FFP effects, and indeed, GSTNet plugin

How do you get it for free? 'Cos it still costs around 50 euros in the shop...

It's available for free in A7.82.

I'm still using A6. I like the fact that it has a world editor because i cant make a world through code like lite-c. Granted i have a7 and i use a7 templates but i use A6 because i am so used to it.

A7 has a World Editor as well... Free lite-c and A7 Extra (free) are different things the latter came out some weeks ago, lite-c free was around since start of A7.

A6 is fully compatible with A7, you should give it a try

regards,

i use A6 too
i have no money to buy A7 and no reason to do it (at the moment)

I still like A6, I played around with A7 but i am used to A6, and just really got the hang of c-script . I think after i complete a project in A6, i may play with lite-c, but just to test. and i have no money to upgrade,lol.

I was using A6 commercial, but I think about moving on to liteC free,
since it almost has more features than A6 commercial has!
it only has no shaders, and a few other things.
so I might move to A7 in an upcoming project

the fact that the liteC free is free is really usefull....
no team editions needed

this is right
the free A7 offers useful features and i´m tend to use lite-c. c-script is extremly limited. always i´m coding in c-script i code like in c but then i wonder how some function do not work. then i see "not more than 4 parameters" for example.

but i also cant disclaim the features of my A6 Com (shaders, no watermark, ...)

i would use another engine (like irrlicht), but, firstly, there i have less experience and secondly i miss the comfort of Acknex (some features i have to implement by myself)

Why take Lite-C free? I guess this will die out soon anyway.

Extra Edition of A7 is now free. Coming with a level editor and still supports C-Script (of course also Lite-C).
Drawback is: no shaders, but still it's a nice present.

Say thanks to Unity

It's hard to say, but thanks Untiy.

firstly- vickie- nice interview!

secondly- i only got a7 last week. until then i was using a6.

I have A7 as well as A6, however I will be working with A6 for a good while now, got a pretty big game going with alot of progress in Cscript. Dont feel like converting everything over and not knowing if my game will work.

it makes sense to use the coding you are comfortable with.

i am comfortable with litec

hi, i just created my account here, I got Version A6 Extra as a present a year or two ago.
I found an update on this site, but i can't download it.. could anybody help me?

PS: I'm using TurboDelphi (Delpphi2006) as well... I think Iread about A6 is accepting Delphicode for C-Scripts , is this right?

You can get the A7 Extra Version as free download now.
So It makes more sense to use the newer one for you.

But does A7 accept Delphicode?

Yes, but you have to use a wrapper, you can download it here: http://3dgs.lazydogsoftware.com/

I'll probably stick with A6 since I'm finally getting the hang of it. I'm tired of learning "how"; I just wanna "do". The games I have yet to make can all be done with the tools of A6.

that's how i feel. I think the upgrades of A7 is cool, but I just got used to A6 and c-script.

i am use to A7, but a6 i have more understanding of.

Since around 2 years, neither i didn't enter this forum nor i used 3dgs - playing some games on pc was all i did.
I did not follow the progress to A7. But i have to reinstall 3DGS - making games was and will be my hobby can't end ^^

I will use still A6 - My sorrow is, that i have no overview of the new A7 and the things beside it (script editors, effect-things, ddl, ...) - too mutch for me now.
But A6 will do its job for a round-based-game remembering Age of wonders
OT: .... never though, people like blink or Fireball are still here - great to see u guys, really

Still here, trying to complete a game someday. Good to see you Joga.
