New game: Top down city!

[JernejL]

Good news: I've gotten hold-throw added for grenades / molotovs, etc.. this allows for some control on where the object will fall.

I also added another distance model for weapon particles, now it can have effect on center of object or on the closest edge of it - this will allow for landmines and to work and in future, oil slicks.

[JernejL]

Got tank drive-over logic done and i can now show how molotovs are thrown

Deleted. Not relevant.

Damage has been added so what do you say - could you make graphics for dummy editors?

[jericho]

Looks very awesome.

Btw, why are pedestrians (and player) are thrown out of car when it explodes? Is this a kinda limitation of the peds state machine - it cannot be in both 'dead' and 'sitting-in-car' states simultaneously?

It's just a workaround to make some things easier and to fix some crashes from a long time ago - mainly in cleanup routines.
it will be removed, as it's not ok to keep it this way.

Logofero: no worries, i hope you get your finances in order.

And auto-download of mod packs is planned, it's not yet written but i set up mechanisms to allow for this because i really want that a person can connect to a game and automaticly download all needed files, this is integral for supporting mods.

and please add ipv6 support. i got fucked by my isp and only have ds-lite now. so no gta2 online and no hosting other games.

[JernejL]

I can link to ipv4 enet internet library in source code form that works stable ( this version: https://github.com/rasberryrabbit/enet-freepascal ), and i have a version that supports ipv6 but it has sort of a strange disconnect bug - i will probably get this resolved in future (i don't see why i couldn't modify the working enet i have to ipv6 version myself)

This is my bug report in ipv6 enet: https://github.com/BeRo1985/pasenet/issues/1 - the dude also suggest another library he wrote, i implemented that too but could not get it to fully work yet, the thing is, i have no intention to be stuck on ipv4 only, so this will be a priority to get it working in the future.

Jericho: I managed to clean up the hacks that blocked death and vehicle states from working together, i can say game mechanics feel better with this.
It even supports entering car with dead person in it, you just pull them out and corpses stay on the ground.

I managed to update map editor to have a basic map text file export and import, this way it can import maps from other games or serve as a better intermediate format - for calculating map differences or distribution, this does not yet contain the rest of map data (areas, paths, objects) but it is a good start.

[JernejL]

Some progress made:

I've finally added a basic minimap and finished GUI fixes - finally removed frontend interface and fixed a bunch of pickup issues.
Cars were all upgraded to new shape system - that allows for really complex vehicle shapes and multiple pieces, this also allows for correct setting up truck trailer hitchup areas

[JernejL]

I worked over holidays and re-implemented most of scripting integration, the whole point of this is, that i completely changed the mechanism on how script talks to the game - it is now in its own thread, and should no longer be blocking the game itself. This now enables me to complete scripting part and write actual test missions

Here's first public release in 2020, give this a try and report any errors / bugs

[Sektor]

I just did a quick test. First changes I noticed was no more separate frontend, a cool minimap and more sounds effects. Thanks for the updates. I will keep testing and report back.

Hi JernejL
No fun on WIN10 Home: 1903

Can you please post the log file that it generates?

Edit: Can you re-download the files? i've updated the exe with one that should give more meaningful error message.

https://gtamp.com/tdc/tdc_demo.7z

[B-$hep]

Should i use RunClient or RunServer to execute?
I just double click on exe atm.

[JernejL]

Your error stack trace makes no sense, did you run it with a custom script?

[JernejL]

B-$hep: try re-downloading the file again, the exe is updated - i'm not sure what exactly happened but maybe the crash is solved.

[B-$hep]

No custom things. I just unpack the archive and double click on tdc.exe
New errors, after i click yes, it again throws an exception for line 816 in game_Gui.pas and then closes
