Nasty.'ACK ACK''Got ACK in AcceptNewMessage'Anybody know what does mean or do? :)SandWormInitialSleepSandWormFedSleepSandWormShotSleepThree ways to get worm gone/sleep. Just wait, feed it or shoot it. Besides the Deviator, Frigate, Thumper etc. there is also a name 'bird' in it. Not sure what it is/does.

Nyerguds Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Eh, all of these games have some leftover strings with source filenames and stuff. The fact actual function names like "AttackBestUnit(AI)" remain is quite interesting though...The ACK seems like command codes in network packets. Seen similar stuff in C&C.You should ask Hyper about this... he's messing with this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 So the logic is like Dune 2000 ~ June 2000 ~ July 2000? ;D Cool :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 more like "it's gotta be finished by then" :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Leto III Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Maybe July 2000 has something to do with the Dune timeline in the books. A while ago I read something about some dates in the games in in the books. Some people believe there is a link between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIgaBot Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 dune2000 is unfinished game. there was many other ideas that were going to be added june 2000/july 2000. what they were noone knows since game is just like as its. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune is a finished game. Want some proof? My conversation with one of the developers:Apparently Dune 2000 was cut short of its intended scope, and was originally going to feature co-operative play, is that true?No, it was alwasy supposed to be Dune, on Windows with multiplayer. It was a short budget targeted product.Did anything get cut, out of interest?Hmmm, I was there and did the technical plan and I put it out of the door when it finished quality assurance. There wasnt anything that we planned that didnt make it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMIgaBot Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 um then why they made 8 colors when there can be set only 5ai and 6 colors uhi mean dark yellow color (something between yellow and brown) i have played all missions and watched mercenaries/smugglers bases color that im talking about is not matching any of these. did they just copied color scheme from RA1 ?btw if you have contact with devlopper ask him how to disable autosell function for skirmish :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 auto-sell happens to be one of the AI's mechanisms to recover from low cash. To get around it, simply destroy their base without draining their resources first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 What does your request have to do with the hidden stuff in the game? Do you mean that those features you propose were supposed to be in the game, but got scrapped before the release? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIgaBot Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 dune2000 had microphone support but was scrapped later. also there was some more game functions that were planned. e.g toggling stealth visiblity , help button as you notice there is no tutorial in this game also there is no tips and hints built in game. this happens today. i.e in silent hunter 3 game there are ai functions to drop torpedoes from plane but due of lack knowledge they removed function from ai base so ai cant use aerial torpedoes . also removed weapon from armament.. in data/sounds you can see so many unused sounds. also campagin was unfinished. , there was plan that you start mission being towed/escorted from/into harbor resupply at middle of sea. (u-boat milk cows) ubisoft was forced to release it faster due to pressure of awaiters. this is just a example. regarding dune2000 there is way to import units from cnc. but this require bunch of editing and its mostly pointless.

Seriously, do you know how to read? The technical director said nothing was scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
