... it's called inertia. Galileian relativity. This is how it SHOULD act...


Well... yes I understand, but shouldn't the range be LOWER when facing forwards (to the direction you're heading) and HIGHER when facing backwards.
Maybe I'm wrong but it feels strange to see a projectile fired backwards that's not only heading forwards but also getting ahead of you.
Aiming doesn't realy have much sense when your bullets are heading where you're heading and not where you're aiming.

You're right - a lot of the ships already had specific inertial code, and when I added my own generic inertial code, it doubled it for all the ones that already had it. This is fixed in the new version, which will be released tonight.

Relative to your ship they should be exactly the same as each other.

Well, were you thrusting to decelerate while this was going on? i.e. were you flying backwards, firing and thrusting at the same time?

If only the HAVOK physics engine was freely usable for non-commercial software to use.

Several of the existing bugs have been fixed, and several new ones have been introduced. Wink

The game now runs natively in 640x480 (instead of 320x240); tihs causes several of the menus to mis-align, and causes the planet navigation screen to be unusable. Please only test this in melee!

*Jumping Peppers!* The second part of the comedy has arrived!!!!! Now I will tell you my review...:

Wow!!! The greatest game ever!!!!! I love it so much. It starts black, you see some letters behind and boom!! The final ending!!!! Brilliant!

Btw: Could someone send me the file uqm.exe, I accidently erased it... I thought that if I will erase the uqm2.exe file the uqm_frenzy.exe file will work. But oh well... (Damn cow mouse) Groz_F@hotmail.com

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Does it not load? Does it crash? Does it exit out silently? Any details would be appreciated.

It starts loading, and then it says something in the console, but I can't read it(somehow the pause break key doesn't stop it). My suggestion is that you will make the program to create a log after every run to see what was the problem.

Bizzare.

You should be able to type 'uqm_frenzy.exe > output.log'  to make it send to a logfile... I haven't tried it myself, but if it's outputting to stdout, it should work.

If not, then I'll switch from stderr to stdout when I get home.

Well, whenever it's in a more finished form, I can do some voice work for you.

I can also make web pages if you need that.

Type it in a command prompt window before starting UQM, not after.
