Battlezone 3

[CivBase]

I've never seen any non-dos fps game yet that uses a spacebar as a fire of any sort, usually something like an action button (before that default changed to "e") or jump (that is the common spacebar now), what game are you referring to?

Marathon, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I think Halo and Battlefield use it too... but I forget on those.

[OvermindDL1]

Change that "dos fps" to "dos-era fps" since I was referring to time period and not platform.

First of all, marathon is dos-era (very dos era), no mouse support first of all, and it was for Mac.
MoH is very standard, mouse look, click is fire, space is jump, etc...  Space most definitely does not fire (I just launched the game to check, been years).
Halo is again, very standard, mouse look, click is fire, space is jump, etc...  Space most definitely does not fire.
I know of no game called battlefield (and a quick google search proved fruitless, the name is too generic).  If however you are talking about the Battlefield series, all of the games in the series have identical basic controls, the oldest of which is Battlefield 1942, again, very standard, mouse look, click is fire, space is jump, etc...  Space most definitely does not fire.

So again, which non-dos era fps games do you shoot by hitting space?

And yes, OT now, especially since we now have an OT board too, moving.

Seriously?  I swear I've played FPS games on the comp with space fire!  Oh well... and yah, I was refuring to the Battlefield series.
MoH doesn't have space fire?  Man... you sure?  maby I just got the keyboard prefs mixed up (I've had it forever and a half).
Oh well, you win.

I really do wish everyone was of an INTJ type, the world would be so much more efficient and enjoyable.  Guess I should make another topic...

Ummm...

I think it should be this.

I really do wish everyone were of an INTJ type

But I am not sure. Feedback plx.

[Nielk1]

was looks right, but when I think about it?

[Scout]

What makes a game? 

Engine?  no

Models?  yes

Weapons?  yes

Environment?  yes

Sounds?  yes

Story?  yes

VO's?  maybe

So what are we waiting for?

Oh yeah. Time.

fixed

[OvermindDL1]

So engine is not important?  Well, let's do it in the old doom engine, easy to make things in it.

(Not nitpicking the rest since it should be referencing BZ3 specific things).

I bet those 8 horizontal views plus animations of each monster were actually very hard to make. 

[CivBase]

so........... I only kinda know what an engin is, can I haz a better description of it.  Alls I really know is that it is the basic foundation of the game, but I have no clue how it works.  Could you guys make your own?

[OvermindDL1]

The engine is the codebase that runs the logic, whereas the logic is the game specific code, the engine does everything else, from managing sounds, rendering everything, handling inputs, networking/multiplayer, etc... etc...

They are easy to make, very hard to make well, and always takes a lot of time.

so how much time?  hours? days? weeks? years?

[VSMIT]

Think of it this way:  The engine for Infinity: The Quest for Earth was started in late 2004/early 2005.  It's still not finished yet.  But it is a much more sophisticated engine than most.

VSMIT.

[OvermindDL1]

Depends on complexity, how much of the code base you are taking from elsewhere, how many people are working on it, a ton of factors...

arnt most engines modified from existing ones nowadays?

[OvermindDL1]

Actually, recently (past 3 or so years), there has been a rather large amount of new engines from non-existing code-bases pop up; been rather surprising.
