Re: Journeywar
I wish i had a hundred man, to tell that tale.. but instead humble me, struggling to just describe the units.

He is using lossless compression so the image does not degrade over time.

Re: Journeywar
I know that, there's a little link to the full image and everything, it's the 2MB thumbnail I find fault with. Most of the pages in this thread are bigger downloads than the game itself

Re: Journeywar
well, i ran into a dead end today.
The Beefeater works, as far as movement, and piece respawning is concerned. The trouble starts, when it is suppossed to aim and fire.
This happens the following way: A markerweapon is fired, basically a near invisible cannon, whos only job is to hit the target, and thus make it appear to a gadget.
The Gadget spots the damage, and gets the Game Enviorment of the Unit who fired, setting off a function in which the UnitsID and the information that a target was hit is stored away.
Said arriving info, is finally processed by a While(true) do loop resulting in this:
This is the function which is threaded:

Re: Journeywar
i see a lot of things that should be nil in any code whatsoever!
(error with line numbers but only part of script = useless)
someRandomArbitraryHPLimit needs to be importantLookingMagicNumber.

Re: Journeywar
if i provide a thousand lines of script.. nobody even looks into.. if i show example.. i m the evil guy.
Eggstack..it provides the construction units of the journeymann.. also it can walk..mobile base is mobile..

Re: Journeywar
Note to myself: You can mess up all you want, but dont do it with math. Or at least not in public.
well, to hell with it. You are right googlefrog. This time. But who knows.
