These don't work?

[vidiware]

I know

And to Exit You must klick at you and quit in main menu or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to completly exit, else the program vil run in backgroung and steal memory! :'(

[jacobdouds]

Okay, what do you do?

Can you shoot?

Is there anyway to go?

If you keep going down, it goes forever.

[jacobdouds]

Cool.

At the start, not that there is anywhere else to go. Get into each vehicle and drive it on to the top one. So all four are on top of each other. Then, get out, get back in, and you can drive all four at once. Super tank.

Where do you get a sonic tank from?

How do you talk to people?

You can walk thru walls?

[vidiware]

Just walk in them to talk

its not finished at all

Is it worth the problems to complete?

[Timenn]

Well, there are alot of things that need to improve. Like units going over the edges of the form. But that's just a matter of putting some code like:

if {variable for the position of the character} > {width of the form} then

begin

 {variable for the position of the character} := {width of the form}

end;

And did you know Delphi works with transperacy?

I don't what you use to display the images, but if you use the TImage, you can set Transperacy = True, and then the color in the leftunder corner is the transparent color :)

good luck

[vidiware]

Oh timmen you are a cool guy telling me how to improve my game...

[jacobdouds]

Do complete it, I like fun little games like this.

[vidiware]

Oaky, im going to complete it (make a new one same style, more planned and better levels + better source organazied). Ill start when it summer time..

[jacobdouds]

cool, if you need help on anything, give me a shout!!

you should use dune2000 images rather the dune II

[vidiware]

Okay but i dont have dune2k so, i need you to make em for me, or i must buy the game. But i dont have time to start before 2 or 3 weeks so i can buy it.

DO you have any ideas how to make the whole idea, on just a few liens of code?

[jacobdouds]

Well, I don't know coding, but I can get images from Dune2000 for you.

Will you incluse ordos and Harkonnen missions?

[vidiware]

Yes i will, Atreides are best (i played d2 when i was a kid and ordos is not to good in d2) but Ordos Rules they are Cool!. Thanx... I need pictures of all dune 2k units and buildings if you can give me.

Firs Atreides, Ordos too, but you can wait a bit with the harkonnen (or if you want to, give me them)

My skills ar primitive, so i dont use units faced

[vidiware]

What Res. do you want it in? This one is in 800x600...

Is 1024x768 better? I dont go lower than 800x600.

Give me a vote...

I need i beautiful story, if you want to make one!

Should it be on dune or is my story good?:

After the final Dune battles, the emperor has made peace to the universe, you are the great son of the emperor (atreides blood) and the beautiful Mirana (ordos blood). On the way home to the palace after the last discussion for peace, the guild navigators has problems. you have been sucked out in a time dimesion black hole thing, and boom, your frigate is crashing on a planet... ...WELCOME TO EARTH

[jacobdouds]

K, odd story.

That part, 'you are the great son of the emperor', would be better as, 'you are the son of the great emperor'

As far as it goes in credits, jacobdouds will be fine. Anything along those lines. Jacob Douds, jacob douds,  jacobdouds, Jacob D, J Douds, etc.

Um, i will get onto those images soon.

Expect the first e-mails soon.

[vidiware]

Good, when i recive the first images i can start to code a bit.

What about Jacob Douds the techXPert

[vidiware]

Timmen and all others who tests the game, just give me a message, and you will get a place in the next games creditlist as (alpha/beta/charlie/delta) testers (if you want)

[Timenn]

I will help you where I can. And if you want to list me as a alpha/b

[jacobdouds]

Thats nice that you know the greek alphabet as wellas i do. But there is nothing past Delta testing. And thats the consumer. The e-mail should have arrived by now vidiware?

[vidiware]

Yes i got it!

Am I the first person without knowledge about the Greek alphabet, i think the one they uses in US Airforce are better:

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta,Echo, Foxtrot, Gamma, Hotel ++

I dont think the differences between Delphi 4/5 is 2 big

[jacobdouds]

Well, the Greek one sounds more styly. But, do you need any other pics? That included every unit and building in the game, apart from concrete, which I sent you, and wall.

[vidiware]

I dont think i need more for a while! Thanx a lot!

But what did you mean with the 100.000$ mail? I dont think you got paid for making a free mod!

And my game using ww graphics cant be more than freeware or open source or maby adware

[Timenn]

Hmm, though, if you want you can give me the source code, if you have problems. Cause I can still read because it's just a text-file, but I can't compile...

Maybe, maybe, maybe my father will buy Delphi 6. But I don't think so. And I'm currently busy with Java, RealJ, cause that's free 8)

[vidiware]

You can download Personal edition for free at http://www.borland.com

you need to register

I can send the old (im making a new game, havent started coding yeT) code, if you can find a way to make the building/vehichle/talk range easier instead of writing 10 lines + a timer entry wich slows down the prog

Say if u are interested, the code is not ver y good commented and i dont give you support

'And remember: Its VidiWare's Work
