[FF]Random stuff/ RTS project

Posted by FireflyX on Jan. 3, 2008, 5:58 p.m.

Hello i'm back did you all miss me? No? Oh well nevermind. I was just having what i call an internet break. I have a couple each year and during that break i will not use the internet for any longer than an hour each day. Why do i do this? I have no freakin idea. It usually tends to happen when i've been doing a lot of my website and then i just get bored with it. My site was supposed to be released christmas eve but.. meh. I am proud to say that it now does just about everything 64digits does which was my primary target: Make a 64digits :p don't know when it'll be finished so don't ask me. I am working on a chatroom at the moment which, for the benefit of those few people who have the link, can't yet be accessed from the site.

Also something I started working on during my internet break was a command and conquer style rts. I have just about mastered rts movement. If you have ever played a command and conquer game before then you probably know that you have to draw a box to select your units then click a spot and the selected units will move there.Well it took me nearly 2 days but i managed it:

I'm also doing all the sprites for the game myself and my brothers doing the music to make it original. But that means that i can't call it command and conquer. Anyone think of a good rts name?

As for the base i've done the power plant and the construction yard so far. They do animate but i couldn't be bothered making gifs:

And you can also take over civilian buildings like in red alert 2:

The spriting is taking more time than the coding at the moment since not only do i have to do the buildings but do destroy sequences and build sequences for the base buildings… but it is coming along nicely. Like my site i have no idea when i'll be releasing it by >_> but i hope it won't be too long.

p.s Which mother fucker removed me from their favorite user list >:( Mystery solved, twas Basil

gl with your rts game! - I'm really looking forward to see some quality rts games :).

about movement: well it's not that hard if you know what you're doing (but that's with everything).

Just wondering want to give a small "hint" you use for the movement? - Do you use simply A* (mp_grid_*) or some better movement?

@lukesterspy: You never read the blog, did you? XD

@ESA: hmm.. interesting.

@paul23: Well the movement is… hard to explain but i might release an rts movement example on this site explaining it.
