Drive mode

[Rman Virgil]

so how much time is needed to finish that

If folks were working on it you might be able to guesstimate. Since non are (to my knowledge), I don't see how you could bracket any time frame to completion.

Some pics of BETA Widget Mock-up UIs created by Elio for Drive Mode and Command (comparing old and proposed new)..... also a pic of Battle Mode as implemented a few years back in America's Army (a bit clunky this last but you get the idea.. & a more elegant implementation of the basic concepts can be done).

Intriguing, eh ?

@ Rman Virgil : Your latest avatars appear suspiciously mischievous...

Or maybe I'm just imagining things...

I would say your imagination has led you to a keen insight. Those expressions are deliberately made - both are alter ego characters from anim movie shorts of mine.

And going deeper into my psyche ...

We are very fond of tricksters in my culture.

The ones called Heyokas are especially revered and not even the highest ranking leader can attempt to discourage their canny antics amongst the people. Very much to the heart of what we call traveling the Good Red Road.

As a proposed use of BETA Widget in the form of mock-ups - yes.


Also: IMHO, the full implementation of Drive / Battle Mode would be better suited to the New Terrain Renderer of Trunk v.3.x AND with the art assets being created by the artists of Art Revolution in-place. So, even in a best case scenario of deving, it's not so simple a course or on the immediate horizon, I would hazard to speculate.

Yeah, pretty much what Rman said.

At the time I did it, it was a more or less proof of concept thing, and I basically re-enabled / reverted the removed code.
I just never had the time to finish this, and to be honest, I am not sure when I will get back to it.
If someone wants to finish it, I have no objections.

you know, while we're talking about experimental items, why dont y'all add in the legendary five star general rank? i mean, most true wz vets have earned it.

[Mr_E]

oh and also like i said, since we're messing with experimental items, how about EMP howitzers?

[Mr_E]

can someone send me the download link for the game, that those pictures Rman posted?

[franek12354]

I think is rman posted put ask him on pw

That and i have an idea for how driver mode would work, ok... so you use the wasd keys for forward, backward, turn left, and right. and you use the # pad 8246 for adjusting tilt, and rotation, and 5 would fire the rounds. so long as its a direct round, if its artillery you would only be able to use the # pad and you would get an over head view and you could fire where the bomb sight is.
