Warzone 2100 Forums

Tricky. However, I wonder why the secondary weapon button isn't displayed all the time, for bodies that can accomodate it. Note to developers, I guess. But think about how that would look graphically if the secondary turret was supposed to be mounted on top of the primary turret like on a modern ba...

That alone sounds like a big improvement to the game balance.

Yes. Good question, as I did not bring that up in the wiki article. The existing code already deals with line of sight, as you can see in the game. In game it always seemed like line of sight was a factor, but I thought it might have just been my imagination, since warzone is a decade old game. So ...

After reading the wiki article I have a question about visibility-- What about line-of-sight, is this a factor in detection? Unless the project has recruited post-nuclear mutants with gamma ray sensory organs, it would be kind of hard to see a tank column on the other side of a ridge or mountain, re...

Sorry, I was just asking to be sure, since folks were comparing binaries and source releases and I was just making sure I had understood correctly that source releases relevant to drive mode were coming.

Had no idea there was anything flameworthy about a public domain license in the first place.

Is the drive-mode portion of the warzone 2200 engine going to be open source? I ask because there is a source section on the 2200 site's downloads page but I guess that could be only for what pumpkin originally released.

I have now enabled preliminary support for this. I also know why the (original) devs didn't enable it.  :-\ So what was the reason, too many bugs? The good news, is you can drive around with your unit.   Yeah, it is a bit buggy (:P), and needs some TLC. However, I don't got enough time to enable ev...

Let's not forget that the horizon is only red in the desert region. The city has a dark blue and the mountains have a white.

Yes, that's what I needed, thanks.

Kage's Blender PIE plugin should help you with exactly that. If there is a problem with that plugin, someone understanding Python might want to have a look, as afaik Kage currently is lacking time. Alrighty, thanks. Where do I find the PIE files though, do I need an svn checkout or can I download t...

So we can't require anything, because people are not able to satisfy those requirements.

Are you sure about that, blender 2.45 says from the console- "Compiled with Python version 2.5."

No special version is mentioned.

Textures for a single component should be no larger than 256x256, and preferably fit into the same texture page that is likely to be used by the other components that make up the full game object. I'm not sure what you mean by this, shouldn't each component module get its own texture file? You prob...

I think these are very good ideas. I already added some notes at http://wiki.wz2100.net/Style_guide and feel free to add to or change it. What about the new paradigm? And so the collective are a dull grey now instead of blue? Also, do you have a technical art guide, that tells what poly budgets and...

In the psx version, you didnt directly control the turret. It aimed automatically at a target, which you could select with the left or right key I remember that, but apparently the PC version's drive mode is different and what I was asking about was more of a possible future feature, like that of t...
