Re: Some1 gave me a pentium 4 Should I make a BZPC?

Ah!, I just understood their Dalekesque approach to having more than one install on a single pc, it's not the making of 2 copies, it's that the potential for duplication of data might booger up their mining operation's validity. I suppose the potential value of accurate data is probably far greater ...

Re: Some1 gave me a pentium 4 Should I make a BZPC?

And I am still contemplating going all DALEK on my one. Buying Win 10 gets you a product key. OEM installs only have a product ID. I haven't actually bought it...and considering the way support gets removed even if you do buy, I don't see that MS is really offering the sort of stable O/S environment...

I hope they all end up working as Microsoft technical support staff. :twisted:

Re: Quad walkers.

It would all be down to the design of the walker. Just realise that it has no idea that it isn't a biped. :)
I have made six legged ones, they actually walk really well, but if you want big then biped is the best way, the bigger they are the more obvious the fakery.

Re: Quad walkers.

The results can be disappointing though, It is a biped system, the fake feet will disappear into or not touch the ground, Non bipeds would need to be mauler like, the fake feet should not move too far away from the real feet or the illusion fails to convince.

Re: Some1 gave me a pentium 4 Should I make a BZPC?

Windows 10 is free! Not. Most people consider their Souls to be a high price indeed. :lol: Win 10 won't work on a p4, consider yourself fortunate, it's an anti-piracy platform programmed to destroy its own clones. The future is here and it's loaded with silly booger programming. Malware and spyware...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled - Available Now!

There may be a similar problem with the solar flare, in stock it provides just not quite enough damage to destroy a turret if dropped on it, a boost in damage would enable a skilled pilot to utterly destroy multiple turrets in one attack run, rendering them useless in strat.

Re: So Coxxon, how have you spent 2015?

The automagic approach would have the problem of finding that many maps only have one color. I think it might look urgh if you set it to that. :)

Re: Battlezone II v1.3.7a130 Public Alpha released

a shame though, many who play BZ2 still use XP unfortunately Degenerate retro's hell bent of slowing the virtual economy down!

Re: BZ2 SP Mission Fixes

initially spawned builder must be used to build jammer, so i am making that generic
That might have something to do with it always going wrong for me, I usually have at least 3 scion builders.

Re: So Coxxon, how have you spent 2015?

Soldiers always used to dress neatly in their brightly coloured uniforms, it was quite important when you need to figure out who to stab in a large crowd of people trying to murder each other. Modern weapons and death from a distance brought the need for camouflage with them. Bright identifying colo...

Re: So Coxxon, how have you spent 2015?

i'm thinking that'd be a *whollllle* lot more work, even just to add it to the engine, let alone do it for each model. That would depend on how it was done, something relatively simple would be to code in the ability to specify a team skin eg Team A uses IvtankB0 Team B uses ivtankD0. Then the arti...

We love our Orange tanks. :) These days you can have them in whatever color you want with a quick console command and some entries in localprefs.ini. TeamColorTeamA="128 128 128 150" // grey TeamColorTeamB="0 130 160 150" // blue I made em Pink the other day...Now that really was...

If they do a BZ2 remastered, we will have entered some sort of weird parallel universe. :)
