Yep :)

We arn't going to have tanks in the game, so I'm afraid that won't happen ;)

Actually that wouldn't suprise me in the least. They start with taking over the minds of young childeren and work there way up from there :)

Didn't they only ban the imports of live stock? :) And btw, we wern't the people behind it. The people behind it where the English and the French :)

Maybe we should take over Russia first after continiueing east and taking over China we'll be ready to take over the USA and Canada ;) And if that fails we could always put some Rat poison in the Gouda meant for export ;) 'Be carefull what you eat guys. Eating Pizza will never be the same' ;)

I just saw that we share the same internet provider (For me in the weekends anyways) :) Zal wel toeval zijn ;)

In 90% of the cases where it runs slow it's because of the lack of OpenGL drivers on you computer. First make sure that your videocard supports OpenGL (One of the following cards should work: Any nVidia card [TNT, TNT2, GeForce], ATI Radeon, 3dfx Voodoo 2..5, but also a lot of other cards). The problem is that you ussually don't get OpenGL drivers when you install the drivers for your card. The standard drivers are the software OpenGL drivers made by Micro$oft which are VERY slow. Your best bet would be to go to www.glsetup.com and see if you card is supported. If it is you should download the install programm and install new OpenGL drivers. This should alleviate the problem.

Sorry for the late reply btw, my internet time has also been a bit limited the last month or two.

Sorry for updating the main page so little. Rest assured that we are still working on the game. It's just that we all have a lot of stuff to do for school :( Still as is evident with the SpaceWars2 demo (which shares most code from the A2k engine) we are still working on the game. That's actually one of the reasons that we released SW2. Since A2k is a much more complicated game all the work we do on it is hard to show you. But SW2 implements a lot of the work we've done in a simple game so you can have hands-on experience with our progress.

Glad you like :) Well.. It is just a sort of test ;) But I am planning to implement certain features like sound and network play into SpaceWars2 first. Because it's a simpler game it's easier to test this kind of stuff in there first before porting them to A2k. So if all goes well you can expect a version of SpaceWars2 with both sound and network play before to long.

Just wait till you see this game ;)

Oh, and I also wanted to say I think Java sucks for anything but internet apps (I had to learn and use it at university for 2 years :() But at least if you can do Java it's a very small step up to C/C++. I really love those pointers, they can be so much fun ;D

Yeah, I remember that tactice. I used that too :)

We havn't made any plans to release the source code. Maybe in the end we'll decide to fully release it. But this decision will be made at a much later date.

We try to make the units more diverse to give each of them a strategical advantage. Ofcourse there will probably be normal tanks, but we won't just copy all the units strait from D2k. We also plan to make the Fremen more important and most of all interesting :)

Hey are you back online Falconius? If you are, I hope it's permanent. Anyway good to see you online again. As for my age... I'm still under 23. 21 to be exact, but don't tell anyone ;)

Hey, I'm not under 18 to be honest I'm not even under 20 ;D

I think it's best to first try it in true DO$ mode. To be honest I'm not sure if this will actually help at all, but I think it's the best thing to try. But if I speak to Stefan I'll ask him, he'll probably know what to do about it.

It might be nice to implement something like that. It would allow you to attack from more than one side at the same time. Would be hard to defend in Multiplayer, unless the AI is VERY good ;D

Good question. I check this board daily but I guess because of school and such everyone is a bit more busy then they used to be a few weeks back. C'mon people, keep those ideas, suggestions and discussions coming.

Your welcome, anytime.

You could try: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html and get Allegro somewhere (It's in the list on the page). If you didn't do so allready you might also have to download DJGPP itself.

We are going to use Visual C++ and DirectX.

I didn't even know that :) But I guess Dune 2 has a lot of these strange things, but what would you expect from the world's first RTS :)

That's about the same tactic as I used. In my opinion rocket tanks where the only way to take out defenses ;D
