i'm kinda old & crusty so i've played alot of 2d lightcycle games.. one of the coolest ones had powerups for weps & they would change your line, zig-zag powerup(was more of a zipper shape), segmented line, line with -|-|-|- shape, etc. that might be implimentable^ with macros or sth more easily than...

heh!

um.. chatbots are hardcoded right?

i couldnt figger out no way to alter its I.Q.

anyone?

IMO its quite common in games that you get better controller response with higher fps.. has something to do with the cpu having more blahblahs per blahcycle to do the keyboard polling. name a game that doesnt suffer from this i also think that armagetron code is kinda crappy on account of it was fre...

i noticed if you have a .png that doesnt have an active alpha channel, it crashes tron

I plan on making alot of custom "bikes" for this game. some of the things i have planned: a recognizer (the thing that stomped naughty bikes in the movie) possibly have its "pillars" spin around if i/we can grok the axis of wheelspin. it could make the stompy noise from the movie when it turns.. a t...

i think theres a high-poly free tronbike mesh out on the web somewhere, mebbe u could run multi-res on it & make it friendlier to the game i can convert .ase to .3ds or to whatever format for people if they need me to ------------- er on second thought.. if i manage to get that one into max, i'll po...

why?? hehe..

colored text is why i still race with 2.6

zmodelor is a free modeling program for driving games & it exports to .mod i dunno if they actually work yet.. but i'd like to go this route, seeing as the moviepack bikes wheels dont actually spin the moviepack bikes are .ase & easily replaced with .ase from many modeling programs anyone know of a ...
