Yep, there are a few more things to keep track of, I think I'm going to start work on making the static sprites block your and the enemy's shots tonight, so that the game is more realistic.

Also if the enemies can blow up those little radioactive waste barrels they could blow themselves up in the process, I think that would be funny.

lol do this, it would be even more realistic. make sure if you're close enough that you blow up too, or when shooting on a wall with a rocket launcher close to you

AaroneusTheGreat · « **Reply #62 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:18:00 pm »

Way ahead of you, that's already implemented.

It even goes farther than that actually, when you shoot an enemy that's too close to you with the rocket launcher, you get hurt also from the explosion.

Nice.

Yea I have been working on other problems lately. So I haven't gotten a chance to address that one. A nasty bug popped up when I finished the rocket launcher and the plasma gun. I am working to fix it wherever it may show up. Which will require yet again more testing.

The plasma gun is fast, kind of the same speed or faster than the pistol, and the damage is greater. It can get kind of dangerous if you aren't careful though, I've blown myself up several times with the rocket launcher and the plasma gun.

how does one lose at one's own game?

Wow ATG this game is shaping up quickly. Keep shelling that work into it! :thumb:

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #68 on:** August 31, 2007, 09:18:00 am »

ATG dont worry I managed to get my score back to at least 2 that time

Nice. I used to like to play halo on the Xbox live thing, but I was only playing because I was at a friends house or something.

The most up to date game system I have is the N64.

Anywho, There are a few things left to do in regard to the plasma gun. Then once I add a few levels and get it up to roughly 35 or so levels, and everything is running as well as I can tell, then I'll release the beta to my testers.

Then from there I'll take a short break whils't I await feedback and bug reports. Kind of rest the brain a little. I've been progressing this project at break-neck speed for me. Ususally I take more time on things, but this one kind of became a serious obsession and I want to work on it any chance I get.

Anywho, I've been making my rounds announcing things on various forums, because right now I only have internet on the family computer, the router won't communicate with this one because the OS is corrupted. So I dont have a wireless connection upstairs right now. The OS isn't corrupted enough to make it crash, but enough to make it freaking frustrating.

SO I'll be reformatting this comp (my personal comp has all my development tools, so I'll still be able to work on Doom89 and fortunately it's running perfectly) and getting it back up to speed over this weekend. So I probably won't be able to post for a while.

If I don't get a chance to tell this to everyone on Ti-Freakware then would someone please announce it on my projects forum (preferably under the Doom89 thread, it's the general discussion thread.)

Thanks.

i hope the project wont die and i hope to see you back soon! We'll make sure to let them know if you dont post here

AaroneusTheGreat · « **Reply #71 on:** September 01, 2007, 06:37:00 pm »

The project won't die, I'll give it cpr if I have to. Mouth to mouth even.

On a lighter note, I may have effed my good computer beyond repair, and if you want to know anymore about this you can read it under my Doom89 forum, it's too long to explain.

So I'll be postponing (sp?) the cleanout and reformatting of the computer I'm currently using to make sure I still have a working computer.

I can work on Doom89 on here, but the going will be a little slower.

Since Doom89 is such a major project and I really don't want to lose it, It's always double (sometimes triple) backed up, meaning I work off one smart drive and back up to another smart drive, and sometimes I keep a backup on my iPod. I'm a little OCD but it pays off sometimes.

All my development tools are on one of the smartdrives also, so I am good to go, all I need is a computer and I can work on Doom89. So not to worry. (That's the only really good part about this mess)

Anywho, sorry for the false alarm, I'll be able to post and work on the project, but I may be a little slower on progress.

I'm sorry about your computer problems, I hope you can get it working like a new again soon

Liazon · « **Reply #73 on:** September 02, 2007, 04:09:00 am »

too bad

well at least you keep everything backed up :thumb:

backups are always important. i should probably start doing that w/ some of the apps i use for dev, but do i need a smart drive for that?

AaroneusTheGreat · « **Reply #74 on:** September 02, 2007, 04:13:00 am »

No not really, you could, if they are small enough, back them up to floppies, or you could use a zip drive disk. Or a minidisk. (they may be the same thing?) Or a really annoying solution would be to find a rewritable cd and burn them to it. That way you can use the same cd over again for the next backup.

A pendrive or a smart drive (a usb mass storage device) goes for pretty cheap now. You can get a 1GB smart drive for no more than $6-$80 dollars and often cheaper with rebates and such.

They are definately worth the cash, they are simple, work anywhere you have a USB port, reliable, and they are pretty cheap.

EDIT:

Ranman saves the day! I would have never thought to unplug the bios jumpers and the video card, plug everything back in and start it up.

My computer lives!!! Muhahahaha. :lol:
