Progress Update

Postby UberWazuSoldier on Tue Jun 23, 2009 5:07 pm

First of all, I'll say now that progress will be slowed over the next 2 weeks due to Ivan going away from tomorrow through to the 5th July. Don't worry though, we're down to the last couple of things to do before we have an (as far as we know) glitch-free mod.

Since the beta version, this is what we've done... [colour-coded!]

Kits:
Select from this range of weapons, or the old kits, and some new ones...


Pistols:
QSZ-92 Silenced (Chinese silenced pistol)
Baghira (Now the sound loops properly and sounds like a machine-gun)
Joker Pistol (92FS with the biiiiig barrel)
Iron Man Gun (With the missiles)


Main guns:
Eryx (Force Missile)
Norinco 982 (Chinese Remington shotty clone)
PKM (The most badass LMG ever)
MP7 (Nice ol' SMG)
P90 (Nice SMG also)
HK21 (VERY nice LMG)
HK53 (A compact version of the G3)
Benelli M4 (Semi-automatic shotgun)
SA-80 (Ahh, good ol' Brits)
Dragunov (Sometimes one round isn't enough)
AKS-74U (Hey, it's a nice spec-ops gun!)
FN2000 (Love it or hate it)
Type 95 (The most accurate assault rifle in BF2)
Colt M4 (US Specops Gun)
Special AK-47 (Mwuhahaha)


Slot 4:
Defibrillator (Bzzt!)
L96A1 (This gun HURTS)
Crossbow (For those more medieval of people)
MG36 (More ammo than BF2's)
M67 Frag (Well... A teddy)
RPG-7 (Allah Al Akbar!)
Special FAMAS ("Lazer gun", yes, we DO know how to spell laser)


Slot 5:
C4 (Plastic explosives at their best)
SCAR-L (Big rounds, nice gun)
M95 (Glass is no problem)
Wrench (Be the handyman!)
Ammo Bag (Mmm, infinite ammo)
First Aid (I need a medic here!)
Flashbang (crashpowboom)
Claymore (Claymost)
Smoke Nade (It's hard to quit smoking)
AT Mine (Not nice to drive over)
SPRAW (Super-Powered Radioactive Antitank Weapon)
Flamethrower (It burns!)


Phew, and now the Premade Kits:
Mechanic
Demoman
Iron Man
Rifleman
Cameraman
Ivan's Kit
Uber's Kit
HK Whore
Assault Kit
Stealth Kit
Pilot Kit

You then select a soldier to spawn as, and
weeeeeeee!!



Vehicle changes:
Some cool new stuff now!

Stunt DPV
We've completely rejigged it now. The big, useless and buggy gun is gone now, and instead it is more of a racing car. I've edited the mesh, Ivan's made some new sound, and it's got a tonne of speed, while still being controllable! It's also glossy and reflective, the car is black.

MEC FAV
We realised that having boulders for wheels makes it USELESS. We've done a similar thing to it as we did to the Stunt DPV. It's now faster, more controllable, and looks and sounds awesome. It too is glossy and reflective, the car is metalic grey.

Hoverjeep
It's now all done! Drive it on land or sea, the car is fast and fun to drive. Naval driving is difficult to master, but once you do, it's easy (much like the flying tank). There are a few tips and tricks we (Ivan particularly) can give you to drive at your best; a very versatile vehicle.

Headlights
This affects pretty much all the vehicles; headlights are now very nice looking. They're also less laggy and obstructive... You'll like them, oh, and the actual light is gone from them, but it's okay since it was horribly slow for the BF2 Engine.


Turret
Turret? What turret? :lol: The problem is collisionmesh-based... and... It's not useful enough for us to really bother. Make a petition if you want.

Static Objects:
Mostly bug fixes really.


Lightbulb
Hey, it works online now! Very VERY useful.


Nuke
If you see a suitcase...
Run.

Other Changes:
Miscellaneous improvements.

Animation
Had some glitches in it.


Map Set-ups
The maps are now set to load the content in a different way to before, so adding content is a LOT less work for us; just drop a file into the maps.


Soldiers
As long as someone is hosting (such as singleplayer, or a Hamachi server), soldiers can be spawned. The spawned soldiers are completely idle, but you can kill them if you want. Careful spawned them into the hundreds, anyone connected to your server might experience crashes as the network
gets overloaded.

City Mode
I've added a couple of jobs, and now you can buy different companies to gain special privileges or money-making opportunities.


Overview:
All in all, we've tried to have the first bug-free version of Roflbox. As you can see, this has taken a LOT longer than usual as far as versions go. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes changes, which just minutely change the performance, but make it a lot easier to make more content in the future. All the little problems that had built up over the versions should be gone, and you can expect a release shortly.

From the small amount of screwing around I did, the Shelby GT-350 seems awesome... especially the handling. I have yet to look at any of the others.

Porsche 911 GT3


YES!

Also the hoverjeep looks awesome. Is there any chance of getting a DPV that acts the same as the M1 Abhrams tank, as in it flys?
