EDIT: Apparently not. I haven't been able to access the site for a few days now, and it seems I still can't. Hopefully soon though. In fact, I don't even see your banner to the right.

Yeah. I haven't really had a problem on the main site. Hopefully we can get this soon. I look forward to these. Not complaining, just impatiently & excitedly waiting.

This was corrected earlier today. Pardon that downtime, all!

Since Tony's the one who went and mentioned this on the show, I'll let him field that question. :mischief:

Not a problem. That kind of thing is bound to happen now and then. Don't worry about it.

The_J · Apr 11, 2009

I corrected your name

.

Just to mention: What mod is not a WIP?

And i've looked at amazon, the books cost betwee 6-10 , maybe i'll buy one.

And i had not heard of the Dungeon Master modmod before, looks interesting, good choice :goodjob:

.

I guess, Kruger's red tank is, like the red tanks from PQP, a "modern roman" tank.

You all talked about doing the multiple maps setup. It is actually pretty trivial to set this up in the DLL, you just have multiple CvMap entities, just like how you have multiple CvUnit entities. The main difficulty to overcome is just getting the pathing between them to work nicely, and have the AI cohesively plan in terms of both maps. Would be a HEAVY rewrite to accomplish this.

GarretSidzaka · Apr 11, 2009

yeah that sounds interesting! maybe someone could make this feature, but of AI programmers, they are few.

Not until I get a job... Being unemployed has crushed my ego, and I need a bit of arrogance to really shine and be entertaining on stage. Feel free to review Bronze Steam and Tears though... and actually I'd rather hear the mod reviewed by people that play it, rather then hear my own (biased) opinion, lol.

Hey you guys ever go into details on how to do specific things, I mean there are a lot of tutorials here for everything from Models to SDK, so it might be a waste of time, but ya get some people on there that are old school Civ modders, and it might be a good gathering of the minds to make things a little easier for those who need that little extra info to do some kind modding.

I only ask because hearing some of the explanation on the multiple maps kinda put some things together for me, and the whole thing kinda makes a little more sense now.
