Re: ProtoType mkII
I think many people join this things, not to win, but to have a goal, fell some preasure and know that someone somewhere atleast will start the project and play for a bit when it's finished. Cheesy Atleast i am one of them. We lowlifes might still dream 'bout a first place but we won't take it for granted. Never actualy made a shmup before. Cheesy

Will be fun to see what you make.

Re: ProtoType mkII
I'm totally with you on that.
Ofcourse winning is nice, and that is one of the reasons we enter.
But if I didnt like the game I was making I wouldnt finish it.

I'm hoping this time around we see a major improvement in the games.

I've been keeping progress on my webby, which you can view here:
http://xout.blackened-interactive.com/wip.html

Soon I'll have a benchmark test for trial. Get a rough idea of how its gonna run across the board then.

As promised, here is said benchmark:

Some feedback would be great, did it run? did it crash? did it fail to compile shaders etc.

Re: ProtoType mkII
Worked fine on my crappy NV GF2mx400.

Using glew for shaders somehow worked, but I don't see any shader FX. Are you planning to animate the meshes(the cal3d dll)?

Awesome!!!

Re: ProtoType mkII
Thanks for testing Rel, that really is good news that it runs on such an old card.
About Cal3D, yep its allready in and system is in place for animation - the rocking of the ships right now is done via Cal3D Smiley

About the shaders, even if you try to emulate them the game should still force you into fixed function pipeline because, iirc GF2 doesnt support Frame Buffer Objects - which work alongside the shaders in this game. If the client has one but not the other, I kick back into FFP.

Works fine here, 130+ fps and "medium" quality according to your screen.  ATI Mobility Radeon x300 in the laptop.  Very nice looking!

Re: ProtoType mkII
Yup, ran well on my pokey system too.  Got between 60-70 fps, and the shader fx seemed to work properly (distortion/water fx for the green ship, funky fade fx for the red ship).  Looks like it's gonna be a pretty sweet game!

Re: ProtoType mkII
Must be out of date drivers I feel, even the old voodoo cards supported multi-texturing.
Yep I just checked up your card on Delphi3D, should be fine.
Not a big deal anyway, I think I can write a path without multi-texture support.

Fairplay to ya - I thought my drivers were up-to-date but it turns out they weren't!

Runs fine now, looks good - is it all going to be a bit R-Type Delta?

my logfile turned out exactly the same as Gilzu's did. no errors that I've seen.

Good luck on this, I definitely am happy to see a sequel's coming. you really did a really inventive idea with the "force" in the first one, so I'm betting you can top it.

Crashes after compiling passthrough with texture shader.  Looks like its crashing when it tries to create a FBO...  Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB, Windows 2000.  I'll upgrade my drivers and see if that helps... I've had problems with other OpenGL\SDL apps...

Re: ProtoType mkII
I've been quiet lately, so I thought its about time I spoke-up.
As you may have guessed, I've dropped this game for a number of factors.
Just browsing around the other possible entry's earlier, and I must admit some of these games are looking great!
Cant wait to get my hands on them Smiley

Anyway, I will be entering something, just not PrototypeII. Been working on a small project for about the past month and
if things go well I should be uploading a full game before the end of the contest.

Goodluck all.

Re: ProtoType mkII
Oops too bad... It looked impressive and polished. Was it too much time consuming ?
Anyway, as everybody, i'm sure you will come with something cool anyway.

Hm....one last thing..... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes and sorry in advance for my greediness..

Any chance we can take a look to the source code of the benchmark ?
Because i had a great time looking at the first one source files....I even ported a tiny part of it to Java LWJGL and was hoping to do so again...

Re: ProtoType mkII
There where a number of factors for dropping the project, but the biggest being content. It simply takes me too long to model.
Too large a design for the time limits.

Anyway, yep I will have a full game uploaded (code is about 95% done),
its easy on content, so theres plenty of maps. But unfortuantely this game will not be to everyone's liking.
Src code will be released for this game too.

As for the benchmark src code, it needs a bit of refactoring, and really I'd like to finish the game. Maybe if I can pull a team together I can get it done during '07.

Wont get very high scores with the cheats enabled though, if your playing against the online high scores.

Anyway, should be more updates some time today, then I'll get on with the multiplayer aspect.
