Apparently... They're doing the 98' Battlezone as well.

Been doing a bit of streaming while working on this. Those not interested in the programming side of things, go to the last quarter or so of the video, where you can see Spawners working properly, with some extra functionality and explosions etc...

Tell me that doesn't look like the opening to BZ2.. perhaps with a tad less orange.

Thanks, they're actually all sound effects I did ages ago for my dead BZ2 mod, Serenesis. I took a lot of the base game sounds and injected some 'new' into them.

Have to say the new building designs sure look good. Nos is a talented modeller... I lost some of the really high-res models he did of BZ2 vehicles when my old external HDD bit the dust, gutted about that.

Can't help but work work work away at this now...

That's pretty good. I was pretty heavily against the paid mods system, I'm still even today in the BZ2 modding mind-set where I think mods should be products of borderline insane passion. Then of course for Modern games, those pipelines get very long.. BZ2 modding is pretty easily by comparison, add...

Thanks all :) Still going strong... added the Detonator Weapon Class and Pulse Shells today, working on the Spraybomb class now. + the famous 'ShotAlternate' behaviour (which currently requires many-a for loop) Also dropped in the missile scout and thunderbolt just to get some different units in. No...

Surprised this hasn't been talked about yet... (you guys do still talk around here... right :/?) Find it quite amusing that they took it down and are willing to refund everyone. Bloody stupid system to begin with that really wasn't thought through very well.. but there we go. At least one company li...

MOAR! Hover physics are now finished near enough. There's a slight bit of "the flying bug" which I need to resolve but the rest is all hover physics as we all know it!

I'm sure it's legit haha, it's just funny to see where the sounds end up, even after so many years!

Tell me this isn't the Solar Flare sound effect at 0:14 seconds...

Text Haha, yeah I imagine that doing this in 1999 would have burnt through a few processors, though to me this is still very impressive. I certainly have new found respect for the underlying code in this game and the work that was done to make it as crazy fast as it is now. As for the UE side, I'm ...

Oh yeah no argument here, my main question I guess is are there any specific methods BZ uses for stuff like this.
