Yes the crippling and diluting bit is probably not accurate, as every other fpsrts does it. So very unlike the NS ripoff combined with battlefield that goes by the name of empires.
Nah NS is a ripoff of aliens stylistically but I'm not sure what it's a ripoff of gameplay wise. The FPS element doesn't really line up to anything I know of, although it might be similar to aliens vs predator, I would guess it is but I haven't played it. So NS is aliens vs predator probably with a slight stylistic twist and a small RTS element thrown in. Actually come to think of it empires is more a CnC ripoff than NS, because empires follows the CnC structure tree almost exactly, minus the refinery anyway. NS kind of has its own structure tree that adds more FPS functions like ammo and teleporters and health, things you'd expect to see in something like quake or UT. Empires seems to go for the CnC structure just because, it has vehicles because RTS has vehicles, it has research because RTS games have research, NS doesn't really need research but it hardly has any so it doesn't matter much, it basically amounts to 'build the structure and the game goes into the second phase' which is fair enough. Basically even though I don't like NS it is superior to all other FPSRTS games in every way.
@Spawn, You and dizzyone need to spend more time together... Hopefully he can show you how the ban hammer works... PHP: if (dynamic_cast< C_SDKPlayer* >( pPlayer ) != NULL) return static_cast< C_SDKPlayer* >( pPlayer ); else return NULL; Removing two lines of code: PHP: return dynamic_cast< C_SDKPlayer* >( pPlayer ); Kane just got served. @HSM: See what real serving looks like?
Just because we are free does not mean anyone is allowed to use our (Krenzo's) Intellectual Property without us (well Krenzo) agreeing to that. Suing them might be possible.
Yeah aren't I just a nigger allowing someone else (Porthos) balance the weapon scripts and having them tested out. I don't think you realize (realise? Google is of no help :<) how much flak we scripters get shoveled into our face for changes we never even suggested or thought of ourselves. In fact, perhaps you should ask Trickster about that. Maybe he has something to say on the matter. Also, your infantry design doc is very good and has many interesting elements.
Ehm, why did i get served? The above code was checked in by Spawwn (if Mootant is correct tho, I didn't verify). The last example is how I would do it anyway.
No one issued a challenge. You're still trying to get back at me after I decimated you. Troll harder.
You fail yet again. The code you provided is a horrifically overexaggerated joke at what I removed. The code recon provided is what I committed in it's place. Fail. The fact you are spewing this garbage without verifying it first only tosses you farther from grace. Here's the clip from Git: Code: [COLOR="Red"]- #ifdef _DEBUG - pSDKInfo = dynamic_cast< const CSDKWeaponInfo* >( pWeaponInfo ); - Assert( pSDKInfo ); - #else - pSDKInfo = static_cast< const CSDKWeaponInfo* >( pWeaponInfo ); - #endif[/COLOR] [COLOR="Green"]+ pSDKInfo = static_cast< const CSDKWeaponInfo* >( pWeaponInfo );[/COLOR]
I wrote some pretty bad code for Empires. No one is born with knowing how to write awesome code. Valve has some bad code in HL2 as well. The good thing about the dev team growing to what it is is that others can look at what was checked in and point out there's a better way while being mature about it.
wtf, the game is exactly like empires, especially how it claims to be the only game known to man that has fps/rts slapped together without diluting and crippling game play. That is stupid because empires is pretty balanced imo, there is no game play cripple at all, except maybe a difficult viewpoint for the northern faction heavy tank. doesn't matter, these idiots, whatever this company is, should not ever say they are the first to do crap, not even empires was the first. sh*t I can say I'm the first person in the world to have used the rickroll and everyone will know it was complete bullsh*t. The only companys that has the respect to be able to claim to do the first of a bunch of things would be a company that revolutionized things like Id, who invented fps(wolfenstein 3d) or roland who made the tr-808 and the tr-909(drum machines that kicked ass after they became infamous of sucking). someone should complain about this madness.
