Mods / Glest Agenda
« on: 25 April 2005, 18:38:27 »
I've posted the Glest long term development plan here: http://www.glest.org/board/viewtopic.php?p=3266
Quote
This is the current agenda for Glest development. Don't ask when things will be done because we don't know, it is just a list of priorities.
1.1
- Fix OpenGL version detection and other minor bugs
- Standarization of the Glest code to ease ports
- Minor graphics improvements
- Minor features
1.2
- Tilesets and map improvements: We plan to add variations for each type of object (ie: several types of trees) and to make the units able to walk of small sized objects (ie: bushes).
1.3
- New units and animations: tucho is working on new units for the game. (http://www.glest.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=586). Fiz3d is working on new animations for the existing units.
2.0
- Multiplayer?: I will investigate how difficult would be implementing multiplayer game for Glest.

I'm partially back, I have a computer but no internet at home, this will still take a few days. However I will start working on some issues:
- Fix OpenGL 2.0 detection bug.
- Make Glest compile in both VC7 and GCC for windows
- Fix portability issues
- Possibly add more objects to tilesets

General discussion / New ranks on the boards.
« on: 22 February 2005, 18:43:57 »
Hello,
We decided to give ranks on the board depending on the user number of posts. It grants no additional rights to the user, but we thought it was cool. We may in the future add an image to each rank.
The ranks are:
(Rank/Posts)
Initiate 0
Worker 2
Swordman 5
Battlemage 10
Technician 20
Battlemachine 50
Archmage 100

Announcements / Glest source code released
« on: 20 January 2005, 18:02:45 »
We have finally released Glest source code, under GPL license. You can download it from the Glest sourceforge site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/glest/
I will soon post compilation instructions in this forum. If you have any source code or modding related question this is also the place to ask.
I also renamed this version v1.0.10 (the one with the source), due to some internal changes in the code, but there is no new functionality.

Announcements / Glest 1.0.5 released
« on: 24 October 2004, 15:20:14 »
This is a bug fix version, we tried to solve any stability issues or other bugs that we discovered or were reported in the board. We improved specially AI behaviour against air units.
We've also added some new efatures:
- We have improved the configuration tool, now it displays info about the options and more.
- We added a new small feature: now when you win/lose a game a widow pops up, tells you the result of the game, and asks you if you want to continue the game or not.
- We made some balance changes to make rush more difficult, but its still possible, we are not worried about this issue since its something that happens even in the best commercial games, for a really difficult challenge play against ultra factions or against more than one player.
1.0.5
- Balance changes
- Computer controlled units that can't attack air won't run under dragons
- New configuration tool
- Fixed a bug with building construction emplacement
- Fixed a bug related with shadows in free camera mode
- New translation strings for main menu
- Win/Lose window
- Other bug Fixes
