Oh believe me, I feel your pain.  I've been mulling over what to do about the sun.  I think I'm going to just remove the gravity/damage thing.  Instead I will add a new weapon...like gravity mines that only affect the enemy.

Is there a Linux or MacOS X version of this game available?

This game is awsome. Did you make it all by yourself?

I haven't opened it up, but I like the triangular targeting reticule (I assume it acts as an indication of the enemy's facing or angular component of velocity).  I also see some lighting on the Mycon there; is this a 3D/openGL game, or is that some 2D lighting effect?

Chrispy: Yup, and it has taken quite awhile too!  Smiley  It's been a bit of a learning process along the way, especially in the beginning.  The only things(that comes to mind) that I didn't make were some of the sounds.  I pulled some of them straight from star control 2 (UQM) or the web (star trek beaming sound.)

Culture20: Actually the green circle is the current target (color coded for health).  The blue triangle shows your current ship.  When you are locked onto a target, and the camera zooms out the triangle fades in to show where your ship is and which way it is pointing.  It helps a ton when there are lots of ships on the screen.  The specular lighting on the Mycon is real 3D lighting.  This is a full 3d (directX) game and uses vertex colored lighting.  Some people think vertex lighting is no good, but that's not true!  As long as you have a detailed enough model (lots of vertices) then the lighting is smooth, realistic, and better (if somewhat slower) than lightmaps.  Lightmaps are good for indoor stuff and static lighting.

FalconMWC: Gosh dangit Falcon, why did you have to say that!   Tongue  A couple of weeks ago I rewrote all of the d3d init code to make sure there wouldn't be any init problems anymore.  I followed the microsoft instructions and examples exactly.  Hmph...well, let's see.  I'm looking at the code...so we found at least one valid video card...and the card has at least one valid video mode, but aparently there are no devices that support windowed mode.  Are you, perhaps, using an old Voodoo card? (crosses fingers)...

Sorry Madgap, I don't think so, but here is some more info about the Graphics card in case it would be a help.

Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Card.

Boy, I have had nothing but problems with this game!  Cry

Glad it works for everyone else though...  Wink

Intel(R) 82810E?  Oh man, what is that?  That's not fair...that's a pretty basic card.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to issue an official notice: "Aftermath does not support the Intel(R) 82810E graphics card."    Lips Sealed

If you really want to play I bet you could pick up an old Geforce2 for like $20.  The only thing I can suggest is that you update your drivers, both video and directX.  Sorry buddy...   Sad

Death_999 and 0xDEC0DE: Oops, sorry, I missed that question.  Unfortunately no OS X or Linux version is available.  The program uses DirectX.  I'd have to convert everything to OpenGL...which I would be glad to do! (For the low, low cost of 499.99 a week for the next two weeks.)

ChainiaC: Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Smiley

New version up with:
- Save/Load implemented (F4/F5 keys)
- Commented Keys.ini
- Can build starbases on terrestrial planets with starbase constructor (you can finally expand!)

Now it is possible to destroy all of the Ur-Quan outposts.

gj

just one problem: please update the first download link for "new" readers who didn't have a chance to see the second link.

Oh another thing, what is that shooting things in one of the systems near sol? You can't get near without getting killed...

Overall it seems like a good game but the travels in space...

That's probably an enemy starbase.  You will need to upgrade your forces before you take one on.

I updated the old like like you suggested.
