Ghoulsblade 23:39, 15 April 2006 (CEST) : sorry, i've been a bit quiet these past days, needed to clean a few things up before starting work on the HUD (using ogre input system now, smartptr and listener improved, c++ timer class implemented) but now the HUD is started, and we have a simple crosshair, more will follow soon =)

Ghoulsblade 13:37, 17 April 2006 (CEST) : After a full day coding with hagish, we have lots of cool new stuff, hud target info and aiming help thingies, simple but damn cool physics (try playing pool(billiard) by ramming asteroids) and even ingame dialog windows (for entering playername and such)

Ghoulsblade 00:10, 31 March 2006 (CEST): After a little coding pause (learning about Lua, playing guildwars and iwar2, planning how to use lua for various things...) i started integrating Lua, i am really suprised about this scripting-language =)

Ghoulsblade 00:20, 4 April 2006 (CEST) : i like lua, now i already use it to controll most of the server & client message transfer as well as object creation, and integrating newly joined clients into the server... really a powerful scripting language. If this continues to go so smooth, we might have missile and other weapons sooner than expected. It is not the time for funky graphics yet, though...

Ghoulsblade 14:48, 5 April 2006 (CEST): things continue to go smoothly, the first "experimental, non-detonating, ogre-head-shaped seeking missile" is targetting the player. I just rearranged the roadmap a little, hud was moved to the next release, and this milestone is now focused on weapons and destruction

Ghoulsblade 04:20, 10 April 2006 (CEST): after one afternoon coding with hagish, we got lots of work done, see svn-log, and just now i upped a few Screenshots, enjoy =)

Ghoulsblade 00:27, 11 April 2006 (CEST) : cleaned up the code a bit, improved the "beam"-primitives cam-adjustment, explosions now have a real billboard, firing while mousebutton is down, drawing spheres for debug is now possible (ClientSetEllipsoid)

Ghoulsblade 20:05, 11 April 2006 (CEST) : worked a bit on shots and explosions, looking quite nice now i think (3 new screenshots), still not animated though, screenshots can be made ingame by pressing "f", dumped particles from this roadmap, not really needed currently, so now we are done with milestone number 2, jeeehaww !

sfz0.1 : first test flight

• Gfx
  • (DONE) sample-ship-model (from ogre) + skybox
• Combat
  • (DONE) direct-hit-weapons (instant kill on mouse click is sufficient for testing...)
• Networking
  • (DONE) player join
  • (DONE) position/velocity resync
• Sound
  • (DONE) play static sounds
  • (DONE) wav/ogg support
  • (DONE) play dynamic sounds

Ghoulsblade 02:28, 11 March 2006 (CET): almost done, network runs fine, only weapons are missing now. the graphics are still ugly of course.
Ghoulsblade 00:14, 14 March 2006 (CET): direkt hit weapon is now working, other ships can be killed per mouse-click. They just disappear though, no visual ray or explosions yet. However that finishes our first milestone, now the work on sfz0.2 can begin =)
See also Screenshots , it's still ugly though....
