Mech Starter Kit Release
by Britt Scott · 02/05/2009 (10:15 am) · 18 comments
I'm releasing what I have on the kit. My lack of knowledge prevents me from releasing ultimate mech carnage. If anyone has anything to add or comment about the kit, just let me know. I hope the kit will help others in their path to glory!

player = mech. I was working on getting "Kork" to mount and pilot the mech player, but I'm having a tough time figuring it out.

The spot light looks really cool. I also noticed you got the 3rd person GUI up to date.
What else are you looking to put into the kit? I'm sure some of the community members would be more than happy to help out.
Great job!

Nice job Britt. My apologies for not finishing the mount code. Work/life tends to stick its head out and get in the way of game dev. We'll get that mount code working properly soon!The spot light looks really cool. I also noticed you got the 3rd person GUI up to date.

Yep I'm running into to whole work/life thing myself. @J.P., I was wondering how the 3d Diggers Horse Pack does the mounting? oh, make sure your joystick support still works! Here's a list of some things I would "like" to be in the kit:-Cycle through weapons
-Pilot mounting
-Radar
-Fix gui ammo counts
-A mech with "fixed" collisions, maybe even an all-a-round better mech :)
-list engine resources that would apply to the kit
-multiplayer
-laser weapons
-jumpjets

I remember seeing mention of this a few months ago and was interested in it -- was actually wondering how it was coming along just the other day. Don't give up on it though. Sometimes it seems that we don't have enough time for all we want to do, we just have to do a little at a time until it all gets done. I'm in the middle of not having enough time myself and still got too much to do! I may even be starting something new in a few days, so I can't promise anything, but I'll be glad to help you out if I can.

Quote:-Pilot mountingShould be easy.
Quote:-Fix gui ammo countsI haven't looked but that's probably something trivial.

-multiplayer
Quote:-list engine resources that would apply to the kitAll of those are existing resources. The radar and jumpjets being the easiest to implement. The laser works but is kind of "hackish". Hmm, weapon cycling is also a resource come to think of it.

Looks like your rapidshare account is over its limit. If you e-mail me the file I can upload it to my ftp server if you'd like.
