I converted the strategy portion of the game over from an SC2 style go anywhere map to a SC1 style starlane map.  I was hesitant before about the conversion, but the pathfinder was a lot easier to program than I thought it would be.


I'm not sure what that means, 'cause I never played the first SC. Anyone want to explain?  Huh

In SC1, each star was connected to the stars near it by little lines. Going from one star to another was one move. So instead of a hyperspace map like SC2 has, it's like an interstate highway system.

k, thanks.
I'm guessing this next update is gonna be pretty big. I hope he releases it soon...  Smiley

edit: What's the latest version that allows saving? I want to be able to save. And is it still on his site, if I type in the right version number for the zip file?

Has there been a development snag, or are you just busy, Madgap?

Anyone know if there's a way my friend can make this game work on his computer? He has a  7 year old 3dfx Voodoo3 video card. He gets an error that says failed to build device list
Earlier in the topic, Madgap said "Are you, perhaps, using an old Voodoo card? (crosses fingers)" So I'm guessing he meant there's a way to make it work...?  Huh

grayfox777: The bad news is I don't think you are going to get it to run on a card that old.  The good news is you can get a decent upgrade for about $40.  :-/

Fossaman: No snag, just very busy at work.  Also, I picked up Nexus a few days ago and have been playing that a lot after work.

Oh yea, I completely forgot about that game. I think they changed the name about three times. Very nice graphics, and lots of ships which have absolutly no resemblance to the Sulaco. Smiley

Never figured out if it was a strat like homeworld, or more of a piloting type action game.

Ok, thanks! I'll let him know the next time I see him on.

Also, earlier I asked about the latest version that allows saving... any way I could get it?  I like the game, but I hate being unable to save, since it seems to be messed up in the newest version.

grayfox777:

1)Can your E-mail handle a 17 MB attachment?
2)Which version would you like? .66 has more ship types, but the skiff and scout are broken. They work in .655, but the Kohr-Ah, Vux, Ilwrath, etc aren't in it.

3)Do you trust me to not send you a virus? Tongue

Well... no, but could you try this?  http://s3.yousendit.com/
It will e-mail me a link to the file on their server after you upload it, so I can get the file. use grayfox777@gmail.com
It's pretty simple and there's no registration. Smiley

2)Which version would you like? .66 has more ship types, but the skiff and scout are broken. They work in .655, but the Kohr-Ah, Vux, Ilwrath, etc aren't in it.

.66

NO WAY...! Just kidding!  I trust you. Grin

There you go! That is a really simple system. I hadn't heard of it before. The file is in .zip format, so you'll have to extract it to use it.

I know this seems like I'm raising the dead, but there is a bit of news. Madgap has set up a forum just for Aftermath so now we can stop clogging this board up with endless threads... Anyway, the aftermath site can be found at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rkingsle/

That's all folks
