Sup driggers, I'm back, and I'm still slaving away.

UPDATE 6----
I've been busy because of Xmas but I had some time today to work on stuff. I ported all the new physics features to the server and got that all working and then I messed with inventories and items and stuff. Here's the vidya.


UPDATE 5----
So a LOT was worked on today in a pretty short amount of time. Most importantly I have worked on the physics BSP so it is now almost 100 times faster than before. The physics BSP of Portent is 41k triangles unoptimized and it is running pretty smooth. The engine now supports convex hull collision objects. Basically you can make a convex hull for a gun or a vehicle of a piece of scenery and then it will have physics and roll around and shit. It's really easy to do, takes about 2 minutes in 3ds max. I also ported Portent over as well. I only made a couple of shaders (making shaders is a bit time consuming) but it's looking pretty nice. I've noticed some bugs in the lighting engine but that's a task for another day. Cheers everyone, and thanks for following the project.


UPDATE 4----
I did some work today. Got hitscan collision detection working so now I can have bullets.



UPDATE 3-----
Just finished some work for the day, mods now work. Quick video demonstration:


UPDATE 2-----

Old shit:

I fell into a time rift for the past few months but now everything is back to normal and I'm back working on 12D. Nothing "visual" to show sadly. All the work I've done in the past 3 days has been cleaning shit up. All tags are now using the same universal syntax that's sort of like my version of JSON called 12Tag.

The project is still alive and well. I'll post updates as they come. I have a weel job now though so it'll be less frequent, but I have a schedule for work on the engine/game.

As for changes, here's what some of the tags look like right now. Whenever a object is just named "object 0" that means it's handled as an array of whatever length you want. You can just keep adding shit to it as you please. :downs:

test.scenery

cool halo

Added this to OP.

Now make it so that when the object underneath moves, that the object on top moves with it unless it hits a certain acceleration rate.

Welp, just finished for today. I completely revamped Logging and added multiple options for filtering/log levels/organization. Useful stuff for debugging.
I also just went ahead and deleted all the old network classes and began implementing KryoNet to replace the Native Java Socket. KryoNet is based on NIO so it'll be lots faster than Java Socket and it already seems more stable in some regards.

It's going to be a lot of work to move the engine over but it'll give me a chance to modularize packets / network ticks and a few other things and reduce latency in general at the same time.

I'll be working tomorrow as well. :)

New networking is way more stable and the new implementation is much easier to work with. All of the major connection handeling is done so next I just need to implement the game world update packets. Should be able to do that on Monday. :)

Improved a lot of stuff on the server side.
Also a note, you can disable mod downloading in the config.cfg > set allowdownloading false

This is pretty cool stuff so far. What is your goal with it exactly though? To replicate Halo's engine in some fashion using Java?

A flexible and easy to work with First Person game engine. My current goal is to get 100% feature complete. Next is optimization and fixing things up. After that I plan to fully port Halo CE multiplayer over. After that I will begin work on my own game that I have been planning for AGES.

Just finished some work for the day, mods now work. Quick video demonstration:
