This is the calculation for damage:

((attack strength + random) - armor) * damage multiplier

Assuming the tank has no variation in its attack strength the calculation is:

(300 - 10) * 0.8 = 232

So it will take the Tank 5 shots to destroy the Jeep

A skill speed of 100 will complete 1 skill cycle per second (40 frames). As the Tanks attack speed is 90 it will take 1.15 seconds(46 frames) to complete 1 skill cycle. So it will take [big]5.75[/big] seconds for the Tank to destroy the Jeep assuming normal game speed and no other interference.

Only played a few games vs AI but I think the game is very well balanced, the pacing of harvesting/expansion is great.

I like the two tier mechanic with very cheap and easy to kill infantry and more expensive vehicles.

The turret thing for competitive play is difficult, if your enemy is turtling behind turrets build aircraft or MRLS.

Windowed mode is available in the .ini file under "DisplayWindowed=true/false".

I don't think the specular shader is enabled atm, but a dev will have to confirm my suspicion  :look:

Finished models for the Centurion and Ferret for the British faction.



Sadly I am having trouble texturing. I recently made the full switch to Linux but there is no Paint.net equivalent. Gimp is horrible and overly complicated. Pinta is a clone of Paint.net but missing 50% of the features and is very buggy, including a transparency bug which makes it near unusable  :(

Omega, please stop this. The merge of forks is NOT going to happen. There was a time when it would have been possible and beneficial. Now it would be difficult and detrimental. I like the way both forks are going, they are becoming projects in their own right rather than forks.

Thanks guys, I've managed to build from git now  :)

Camera is very jerky in-game. Debug reports update and render is running at 40fps but the camera moves at like 3fps. Units and shadows move smoothly just the camera is slow and laggy.

General discussion / Problems attempting Ubuntu compile.
« on: 5 August 2011, 17:36:43 »
I'm attempting to compile on Ubuntu (11.04) by following the compile guide but the Cmake script complains that I don't have the Vorbis or Zlib dependencies installed.

Synaptic package manager says the I do have these libs installed but Cmake doesn't see them :confused: Can anyone point me to a download which is the "right" version of these dependencies?

Terminal says:

Closed bug reports / Re: [Bug] Crash on Ubuntu Linux
« on: 3 August 2011, 15:00:17 »
OK, I downloaded the installer and its working flawlessly  :D I am pleasantly surprised by the speed gain on linux, loading times are much faster than windows (but that may just be a less fragmented HD) and no graphics bugs from the nvidia drivers  :thumbup:

I have to congratulate the MG team on making the whole install process painless for Linux noobs and putting everything into one folder to make modding much easier :)

Single models released by me are always public domain. I don't use photo textures so the work is all mine. Mods are more complicated because they usually contain parts of other peoples work e.g. sounds.

 Please go ahead and re-texture the model. I think it will help make the faction cohesive if they have the same look of textures.

Mods / Fantasy Pack
« on: 21 July 2011, 16:15:50 »


This is the official thread for my fantasy pack. Its like the mega pack but includes fantasy factions.

So far the factions that will be included are:
Dwarves
Undead
Grey Elves
Goblins

Possibly I will include Gameboys Elf faction and Madmantis Woodsmen in the pack, but I need to ask their permission first.

The best operating systems don't cost anything. 8)

I have dabbled plenty in linux and had some dual installs. I would switch completely in an instant if only linux was supported by commercial games. Its really only the games issue that keeps me from switching  :(

I would certainly recommend Windows 7 though, Vista was a horrible bloated disaster. Windows 7, whilst appearing to keep all the useless M$ bloatware at least runs reasonably and is intuitive to use.

I tried the earthquake code a week or so ago but it didn't work so i think it must be commented out like Hailstone said.  I remember it working way back, but i suppose there is a good reason why its been removed for now  :look:

Would this unit be acceptable for the Alliance faction?



I made this a few months back for the now defunct GIS project so it will need a bit of re-skinning into yellow/blue camo colours.
