FGE/FSK now feature complete!

(Continued from my previous blog)

Just wanted to give a quick update on the "Flight Game Example" (FGE) - it's now feature complete! Latest additions have been that it supports now 3 different game modes like seen on the start game screen:


I made also a quick video showing the team deathmatch mode where bots with different team skins fight each other:

Furthermore it has now support for homing missiles! Those sidewinders were done by altering the existing projectile class a bit and it gives a great addition to the game. Please see a video of the homing missile in action here:

Also the repairships are in now. Those are huuuge kind of motherships flying in circles around on the map and if players fly right behind them, a particle stream is started with "nano repair bots". Well, in short those particles make the effect they heal the ship flying behind and it is a pretty nice visual I think. Technically it's a trigger beeing sync'ed with the repairship. Please see a video here:

So, next steps are to make beside the TGE 1.4.2 version also a TGE 1.5.2 version and one for TGEA + some cleanups and an installer package. Furthermore I need to clarify some things with GG and after that all, the pack will be ready for you guys. Hope you will like it. :-)
