Sardaukar2k/New Dune Game

[Cyborg]

since Anders isn't going to be much help anymore, I have to wait for Gob to get the forum up before I can start effectively recruiting new team members.

Hey, hey, hey...

I'm still here!

Programming in the dark conrer where you can't see me. :P

Even if I'm working, I always sacrifice myself for this game

[Inoculator9]

Well, glad to hear it :)

[Cyborg]

A small update:

* Ini scripting is now a bit easier with less restrictions on the appearance of the file itself.

* Ini engine fixed: It now ignores blank spaces in the ini file, and allows you to place comments and code on the same line.

* The main code is cleaned up and put into classes.

* The list box control is now available and supported in the ini scripting language.

Soon to come:

* Label control

* Text field control

* Scroll control(which you can attach to a listbox to add the nice function of being able to reach elements outside the box :P)

Nice job Cyborg :) I hope to see our forum rising up... from the garbage pit sometime soon ;)

[Dunenewt]

So will Mods for this game be quite easy to make?

[Cyborg]

So will Mods for this game be quite easy to make?

This game will hopefully be a modder's paradise even with moddable game interface :)

That's why it's taking so long time to make things, because they have to be very modder friendly...

[Inoculator9]

Yep :) If all goes well, we'll have our own section at Dune Editing :)

[Dunenewt]

When is the Estimated Release Date and can I sign up to be a tester?

[Inoculator9]

Sure, you can be a tester. No release date yet though ;)

[Dunenewt]

Is there any chance you could release INI files/Screenshots anytime soon?

[Inoculator9]

Ini files maybe. Since you seem so enthusiastic I'll see to it that you get access to the S2K forum when it's ready. You may get a glimpse at the programs being designed as part of the engine.

[Dunenewt]

If I can see the INI files I could help in creating new units/buildings maybe even sides and I'm sure many other people would be able to help who have previous INI experience.

[Inoculator9]

Sure, lol :) Just tell your friends, get more people to post in this thread until the forum comes up :)

[Dunenewt]

Will do. When will the forum be up?

I assume it will be hosted at this site.

[Inoculator9]

Yes, FED2k is hosting it, and I meant board here at FED2k. I keep thinking forum :P It should be up in a few weeks.

[Dunenewt]

Why the delay?

[Andrew]

Why the delay?

Gob could be busy, Maybe more will be done by then, More "structured", lots of reasons.

Will hopefully work on missions more within a couple of days.

[Dunenewt]

1)Is Andrew part of the team because it seems strange he is answering for you?

2)It doesn't take much to make a board. What other mods have Admin status?

[Inoculator9]

Well, it's more complicated then that Newt. And Andrew is on the team.

I try. :D

I was ansering for myself :-[

[Dunenewt]

Im admin on a board using the same Yabb stuff and I know its not that hard no more than a few minutes work.

And if you need any textures/INI editing/ideas/food ask me

[Inoculator9]

Its not a matter of that Newt... Its the matter of multiple titles and abilities for different titles. The next yabb patch fixes it though, so we have to wait for that.

[Dunenewt]

User Groups who can see this board or something like that and it would be Members, Landsraad....ok ok there arew a lot of titles I suppose

[Inoculator9]

Yep... :)

[Dunenewt]

So in what kind of timeframe can I expect the INI files?
