Gusanos .9 Development Update # 2

[eldacar]

Here's a crazy idea, how about point gravity? We could have a big circular map and run around it

[Wei Zhi Hui]

heheh, thatd pwn, but with rigid bodies i suppose?

[basara]

Problem with point gravity is that worms would have to be rotated, and that is quite hard

[Wei Zhi Hui]

rigidly hard. but still, it would be cool. and to have 5 gravity points in one map.. sexy
like a madhouse map.

[Jonny]

You atleast need altered gravity zones because you could hax that in wurmz!.

1. I'm looking in the CVS, which is a lot more reassuring about the progress being made btw, and the latest updates mention something called the "zoidcom lib". What's that?

[Jonny]

Zoidcom is the network library that Gusanos uses for the netplayness.

[Wei Zhi Hui]

thanks to skkf i feel like playing Gusanos again. :>

[Jerrec.]

About gravity points... it can be done even in G 0.81 just by removing main gravity and setting a map object that sucks... sucks in original meaning

[Bmud]

That, sir, is very very cool, and now I want to go try it out for myself. But regarding 0.9, there's that old open source saying "release early. release often". It's grande that gliptic has decided to join us, it just feels slow to everyone else that isn't as proficcient with the source. Oh well. I'm still rooting for you guys. Keep goooing!!

Well, we are rewritting the whole engine, you cant expect to be finished as fast as it would to just add some features and bugfixes and release
Gliptic is gone now also, so development speed is back to normal, he comes back in august

[Wei Zhi Hui]

normal = stopped?

maybe ill beta test it soon.
