Used to support OpenGL, we made some changes, now it is more DirectX base with OpenGL support.

Hmmm... I'm sicker than I thought. I thought this was under the Myths section. Sorry about the confusion. Carry on.

Sorry for the delay in response. I will try to respond shortly.

1. Will the dedicated server be able to run as a service and use the GUI to 'remotely' manage the game server? The game presently has a dedicated server, a dedicated server is no good without good fault tolerance. So to answer the question about services, Yes it should have an option to run as a se...

Off topic guys. Let's bring it back.

Myth: Given this is a multi-player-ONLY mod - how CAN there be a story? It's not ABOUT a story - it's about BLOWING *edit* UP ONLINE! Fact: Agreed that FPS games are often times not truly about the story and more about the action. However, the rest of this statement is almost 100% inaccurate. Given...

shadows don't move, and the dynamics of the world don't change. On the other hand, they do pop on neon trim decorations, change the skydome, and put some point lights around headlamps and traffic signals. The shadows change with the position of the sun, the sky changes, visibility changes, and ligh...

Some myths I've seen whilst browsing the CD forums, and facts taken from interviews and forum posts of HighOctane staff. Myth : Core Decision's engine is incapable of high-end graphics and physics processing, thus it will not succeed in the modern FPS market. Fact : Core Decision's engine is more t...

If you guys find anything on that Engine comparison chart that is incorrect let us know via email and send you sources in the email. *Links please.

Email them to zach@highoctane.biz.

Thank you.

zbriggs

I don't think there will be an accidental Core Decision release if that's where your going.

Hey, we are flogging this thread. We should problem move off it. Got a messenger?

Zach

Or don't accidentally hit the Submit button when punching Preview.

BTW, I completed my post, vulture.

And you are thinking of Murphy's Laws, \"No battle plan survives first contact.\"

\"Most people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.\" -John L. Beckley I agree that it is a tradgedy when a product is rushed to market, mistakes get made and people get hurt. This is why a project leader must appropriately plan out the milestones and successes of his team, including acco...

zbriggs

Nope. We aren't probably going to use a recommended spec.

Your stuff should either work or it doesn't.

Zach

zbriggs

On Textures it's capable of 2048x2048. Who said that the engine wasn't capable of high-end graphics?

Zach

zbriggs

Also, keep in mind, we are not likely to remove a feature, we would probably just not use it. This means that regardless of whether or not we release content that supports each of the functions above the engine supports it and content can be made for it, both expansions and user content.

Zach

zbriggs

hmm, shouldn't it just be the same specs as for Doom3? Not sure why it would be, we have nothing to do with the Doom 3 engine. Perhaps you should read this. http://dbb.vonclan.net/viewtopic.php?t=9063 Which OSes does it support? Presently it supports, Win9x Win2k WinXP Longhorn Mac OSX Linux (RedHa...

Hey. That's my job your talking about. Second, what makes you think a mod is gonna make us cancel our game.

Zach

zbriggs

So when can we expect to see this mod in action? I've all but given up hope for Core Decision, so maybe this will work out better for our community? My question is when did you start speaking for the whole community? :) I'm glad this is working out. We will be releasing a playable demo with multipl...

We are looking for a poll of the generals on controllers. We have it on our site and the information is actually for another company who is seeking to create the perfect Descent / Core Decision controller.

What type of controls do you use for your 6DOF game?

zbriggs

Forward would be the side with the number on it. And there isn't any weapons mounted on the concept. They get mounting in the game.

Zach

zbriggs

They attached a hitchhiker in the footer is all they did. It was pretty weak.

zbriggs

Actually we just added the sentinel. We don't keep anything on that server that we care about. We don't even keep the database on the server. All the user information is encrypted. I know what you are saying though. We have a custom system we are going to be uploading soon. As we get closer to launc...

zbriggs

OK. We seem to have resolved the issue. If you use FireFox you may need to dump you cache.

Zach

zbriggs

We have determined that the problem seems to occur with FireFox users.

zbriggs

We're getting closer. We got the forum theme back and for some people the threads are showing again.

Zach

zbriggs

Yeah. But that is a work around. The problem is that we are trying to upgrade the php code for security reasons.

Zach

zbriggs

OK. We have something wierd going on here. When we upgraded the portal it lost the link between the forum's php code and the directories and databases. Anyone have any thoughts on this? They are still there.

Zach

zbriggs

OK. The main site is back up but we are still working the forums over.

Zach

zbriggs

Hopefully Decemeber or January but don't hold me to that.

Zach

zbriggs

OK. We are gonna go ahead and keep the main part of the site down for the next few hours while we make some changes.
