I will have more videos, i just need to get the pathfinding working, to demonstrate it

It's being worked on slowly - currently i'm doing AI updates, so far AI can navigate around simple vehicle obstacles and go around them, but cannot yet find long distance paths, which is where i'm implementing a complicated A* variant to work with the map geometry. I've also replaces (improved) a lo...

A bit slow development.. but i'm working on getting crashes in physics engine fixed, in the meantime i also: - Added support for map tile materials (this finally lets me have bullets that can pass thru fences) - Basic map sun Lighting, this makes slopes and walls shaded differently, it also enables ...

proximity particles are availible, so is range damage - this is how explosions kill people - it's a sprite particle with radius, time to live + damage parameters. With this, you can creater a gas bomb. Particles can also spawn new particles after hitting things or after certain time, so a cluster bo...

>shotgun is jackhammer, it's same thing. riot gun is a machine gun that fires bouncy rubber bullets. would be funny if the projectiles could bounce around and hit other people This is exactly how they work, they make small amout of damage and bounce off anything they hit :) Same thing is used for w...

Actually, the main thing how weapon works is particles. You create a particle, which is the "projectile" with it's specific properties and visual look (bullet graphics). Weapon tells only firing rate and distribution of these projectiles / pellets and at which interval they can be fired, p...

shotgun is jackhammer, it's same thing. riot gun is a machine gun that fires bouncy rubber bullets.

I have the hit sprites now, but what i don't have is a blood pool animation that would go under corpses, to make them look like they bleed. weapons: i have generic-looking sprites for 4-5 various weapons, you can then configuire them in any weapon you'd like, so far i have various maghine guns, so f...

Progress is good! Here is some from my commit log: map editor had been improved A LOT, there was so much glitches and crashes fixed, it feels much better now! grenades now have a throw delay and are synchronized properly police wanted level now decreases if you hide prepared zones system in map edit...

Yeah but how to draw it? i'd want to show map icons on it, but it has to show roads and building elevation - but in 2D, so.. for elevation what it needs are colors?

Thanks, i've saved the file, there's a few more weapons that haven't been seen in videeos yet including a ray-gun and jackhammer shotgun, a future demo should have all those.

I'm going to need to add a minimap / radar, what kind of shape / design approach could work well for top down game radar?

B-$hep: while not a answer to your question.. i did reply to your PM but got no answer, just a heads up.. to check your inbox.

Logofero: are you good with making various sprites? like blood spalatters when actors get shot and perhaps blood pool that would appear under a dead pedestrian?

Still alive and kicking! I'm doing my part!

The weapon icons look good, under what conditions can you release the sprites? We can collaborate here on list of weapons we need, and design sprites I see on your screenshots you put target around the player, that's similar to how gta did it, but i think it's not going to work well, this is why i p...

A long-term goal is, to move map editor completely into game itself, and to allow as you said it - multi-user editing (which saves and distributes changes to all players). In multiplayer mode, this would enable things like.. "purchasing" and constructing buildings, which is something i'd l...

gta2 powermanager is essentially just an registry key, not a separate tool, all that stuff is already part of gta2 manager.

Ok this will take a while to implement, but is a good guide for me, i can see what i missed, everything will be object & attribute based as much as possible, this is already my approach. However the script should be assumed to be multithreaded, so don't expect that a GET after SET will actually ...

This is good - it's similar to what i started, a lot of things here are basically states (jumping, dead, running), and a lot can be implemented in scripting itself (line of sight, proximity triggers, etc.. ) The game engine only differentiate between actors, vehicles, particles and pickups. (map) ob...

The idea is good, i might be able to add these animations in the future, first i'll work on scripting because that is cruical to get a online game working. It's using javascript. Basic scripts work already (check for death, spawns, players joining and quitting), but i'm wondering what kind of additi...
