2007 December

merry xmas to all ! quiet here lately due to work on iris

Ghoulsblade 16:17, 24 December 2007 (CET) : merry xmas to all who read this =) it's been a bit quiet here lately, we're currently busy working on performance improvements for iris, but at least some of them might also be interesting for sfz later =) We're experimenting with multitexturing, tilebased terrain, transition masks, and a more dynamic batched geometry class than the Ogre::StaticGeometry, as we need to change the contents at runtime, and want to avoid costly reading mesh data back from VRAM. And since iris and sfz share the lugre lib, both projects benefit from the resulting code improvements and addtitions.

2007 November


tractorbeam experiment

Ghoulsblade 21:03, 26 November 2007 (CET) : first experimental tractor-beam weapon. Can be used to drag enemies inside the range of deadly close-range weapons.... or for having fun with asteroids :)

clickable weapon icons

Ghoulsblade 17:16, 19 November 2007 (CET) : now we've got clickable weapon icons, left-click to fire the weapon, rightclick to open a context menu (currently only for unequipping)

better movement and more weapons

hagish 13:00, 18 November 2007 (CET) : Last night and the last 2 hours we improved the ship movement. Now we have a non-newton-max-velocity navigation. This not very realistic but far more fun. There are some new weapons too: splitting rockets (nut,star), chain laser, lightning gun

split rocket

hagish 16:45, 17 November 2007 (CET) : the first new weapon starts to work. a split rocket and a chain laser. http://sfz.schattenkind.net/wiki/images/f/f0/Splitrocket.ogg

Ghoulsblade 17:14, 11 November 2007 (CET) : BR48 showed up in the freegamer irc and asked if he could help out anywhere, now he started making nicer icons for us =)

weapon icons

Ghoulsblade 03:44, 1 November 2007 (CET) hagish and i met today, and we decided to focus on combat. some notes : Sfz31.10.2007 i already started making a few weapon-icons, they're rather simple, but should do for getting started.
