Title: SST-LD BETA
Post by: myles on 14 May 2007, 20:12:34

Hello! Today we have something extra for you guys, a BETA release! Finally you can download the installer, I would like you to remember this is only a BETA release and already we are working to fix them. One thing we would like you to remember is that when exiting the game wait a minuet because the game can crash, taking you system with it.

Anyway with the good news, this contains everything we have been working on and any comments you have will be greatly appreciated,  also if you can post them on the

i'll email the fixed copy to ur site myles email address?ok?

Title:
Post by: titi on 15 May 2007, 16:54:04

I played it and it works! ( on Linux!! with some modifications )

Animating:
The bugs ( especially the big ones ) animate too fast for their movements.
This should be corrected in the xml-files.

Linux :
You have to modify a lot of filenames.
There are a lot of models wich ends with .G3D which should be .g3d ( linux is case sensitive ) like referenced whith the xml-files.

the other file to rename are some TGAs wich have names like
 "texture_Map #1.tga" "texture_Map #2.tga" "texture_Map #3.tga"

which are referenced from the texture mapping in  the models with
"texture_map #1.tga" "texture_map #2.tga" "texture_map #3.tga"

( map not Map )

Installer:
The most annoying thing was the installer !
Why is there an installer???:?: I had to run a wine installation to get access to the files
I copied the needed parts to my glest directory. Ok by this I don't have the modified start screen, but that is all. ( Is that really all? )


Final words:
Great work ! The real mods are coming now !!!!!

Post by: myles on 15 May 2007, 18:52:33

Ok thats great, can you send me the files, thanks.
Yeah about the speed which monster are you on about?
Bot does the turret rotate now?
Thanks

EDIT:
An probably the only full released mod :P

Post by: titi on 15 May 2007, 20:02:25

no that will be mine the indians !!!  :D  :D


i meant the plasma bug for example: its better with an animation speed of 90

OK sure! Ill change that for V1.1 :)
anyway in the next release i will change the model to a stand :)

Post by: titi on 15 May 2007, 20:26:39

another hint for a cool effect:

try the following in the bugs cave xml-file on the top.
By this the bugs can walk into the cave

      <size value="5" />
      <height value="2" />
      <max-hp value="9000" regeneration="0"/>
      <max-ep value="0" />
      <armor value="0" />
      <armor-type value="rock"/>            
      <sight value="15" />
      <time value="200" />
      <multi-selection value="false" />
      <cellmap value="true">                  <----
         <row value="11111"/>            <----
         <row value="10001"/>            <----
         <row value="10001"/>            <----
         <row value="10001"/>            <----
         <row value="10001"/>            <----
      </cellmap>                                    <----
      <levels/>



You define a map here for your building where to walk and where not.
You told the game that the cave has a size of 5 so you must define 5x5 points where to walk and where not. this means 5 rows with five digits 1 or 0 .  

the zeros are walkable the 1 is a wall. you see, the entrance is on the bottom.

11111
10001
10001
10001
10001

and don't forget to give your big bugs a bigger size ( plasmabug size=4 !
otherwise they will also try to walk into the cave .

By the way, how did you made that the "workerbugs" run away if it is dangerous and they have finished their building?

Hey thanks, thats great way to make it cool :)
Ahahaha thats for me to know and for you to wonder!

Title: Linux beta
Post by: titi on 24 May 2007, 06:51:33

Hi, I have built a Linux friendly version of the beta without installer.
Download and install the following in your glest installation

the new techtree:
unpack this to  glest/techs

Code: [Select]

[url=http://www.titusgames.de/sST/sST.tar.bz2]http://www.titusgames.de/sST/sST.tar.bz2[/url]a map: unpack this to glest/maps
http://www.titusgames.de/sST/gourge.gbm.gz (http://www.titusgames.de/sST/gourge.gbm.gz)

a new tileset: unpack it to glest/tilesets
http://www.titusgames.de/sST/sand.tar.bz2 (http://www.titusgames.de/sST/sand.tar.bz2)

to play choose the new techtree, new map gourge and  new tileset sand

Now you can play sST-beta vs indian-beta  ;)
