Plan for Frank Bignone

by Frank Bignone · 05/28/2002 (1:11 am) · 4 comments

As some of you may have noticed (we invaded GG IRC chat tonight, cause our IRC server was down :)), we had a multiplay test yesterday night on our race map.

Here are some screenshots

and

On the first picture, the mig15 passes through a checkpoint in the middle of the map (you can notice that there is 55 checkpoints on that map). On the second, pictures planes are spawned and wait for the beginning of the race (you can see a cougar from another team below the P38). On these pictures, we turned off the black outlining of the models in order to test if it eat some fps or not.

We had a good multiplay session with few bugs and the server was very stable (only problem was regarding player counting). We had a very strange bug before the multiplay session regarding stagnant waterblock in the map (it will disconnect you on an invalid packet : i'm use now to net debugging ;) ). Then we remove those two waterblock from the map.

The race mission was coded entirely in scripts (with package) and allow us now to create new mods (ctf, ...). We are aiming to have a beta end of June and will decide the 24th of June if it will be private or public.

Ok, enough for me. Stay tuned ;)

Your fellow dopper ;)
