stefanhendriks Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Okay, i am quite busy creating a website that should revamp this entire place. What i got so far:- a dummy website, you can follow my progress (http://arrakis.dune2k.com/dummy.html)- 3 projects (Arrakis, Dunedit, Dune II - The Maker) to cover- files for Dunedit, Dune 2, Arrakis, Dune II - The MakerSo what do we need more? What is more needed to get this world/forum alive again? As some of you might remember, i like INPUT, LOTS of INPUT from visitors; etc. Ie. Should an Arrakis2K project return? if so, how? Use CVS for programming? Lets create our own worlds! Nothing is impossible, as long as you want it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Cookies!!Getting the website up is a good idea. :)Maybe add some screenshots, and I like how in dune2 the maker demo you can change resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 glad that there are soooo many people agreeing with us ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 yeah great idea! Give some detailed stuff about what you are planning to implement etc. New units/houses perhaps? Ehm. Story line? Your game needs a good story line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 There are no set terrorities...Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 well, the game needs a story line? Why don't you come up with one? :) Remember i code on this one for fun, and when i don't feel like coding, i just don't code. It can take months to complete this game, perhaps a few years. Its about the fun though to complete this game and about the amount of work.Ie, did you notice my 2 'new upgrades' in The Maker? Like 'fremen intelligence' and 'sand worm detection on maps'. Both very SIMPLE yet Dune2ish upgrades.I also have grabbed the DUne2k tilesets, the engine is flexible enough to use them , i wonder how much of the gfx of DUne2k can be used with my engine here.Ow btw, perhaps releasing the source will speed up things? I dunno how many coders are here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 In what language are you programming the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 A shot in the dark, but C++? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 its written in C/C++ , using the Allegro game library. (http://www.allegro.cc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Well, I have some programming experience. Which include Java. So you can bring it on the code! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Well, grab yourself Allegro , and compile it. Also grab yourself MSVC and i might send the code to ya so you can learn how it works. (the code structure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I wasn't saying I really needed to compile it. But maybe if you needed something I could give some input.Although, I have been considering learning C++. Although many people say it is a complex and sometimes ugly language, I want to try it out for myself.So perhaps I will get my hands on the necassary stuff someday, and drop by :)Coming holidays...?

Cyborg Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Direct Draw all the way! :DSeriously, it's quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 lol,well Timenn you can drop by, i live near Amsterdam. We should chat on irc about this though (or drop me an e-mail).Anyway, the source is not hard to learn and i don't use C++ to its 'full potential' because its getting weird for me too then ;) I am learning each day though.

Timenn Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Seriously, I actually meant "drop in", not necassarily to literally drop by your house. And besides, from my point of view, you don't live that close to Amsterdam ;)I see if I can get my hands on something in which I can compile C++. And try to mess around with Allegro too. But that have to wait for a weeks first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 could be interesting, though, to visit your master... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 Well, 30 mins from Amsterdam with a bus is close enough for me ;)Anyway, lemme know how and what (send me an e-mail) and i will reply with the stuff you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm the laziest person on the whole forum, and even I think 30 minutes is just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
