Z zip does a better job than WinRAR at a fraction of the time, especially when compressing multiple files.Quote:

That tool bar is far from final btw. Hell, this build is at least a week old ;D. Im retracting my statement about new builds because I figure that you guys will only want the full thing anyway. ;D.
Triple Post mb? I posted this over at GBX and am too lazy to clean it up xD.
UPDATEZ!
After a few weeks of work (actually more like a few hours xD) I have something to show to you guys. I have a video of an older build right here, so have fun looking at its crappiness.
As you can see quite a few things need a lot of work. Since my friend apparently didn't know how to use alpha channels when he made the cursor it looks very icky, so that will be replaced ASAP (working on it for next build). I may or may not have a few more h4x surprises for the next video that I will release, but it depends on how flooded with School work I am.
cut and pasted from my post over at Youtube:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An earlier build of my game polished up for the fine folks at www.h2vista.net. I coded this in Blitz3D, and took a few textures from http://www.oera.net/How2/TextureMaps2... I may or may not make my own textures for the fun of it, but considering these are free for public use I may keep them since they are such high res textures. I would say im about 60-70% done right now but im having some issues with the latest build so you wont see what h4x I've added until I fix those up xD.
UPDATE!
heres the source code for that build:
Code:; World War One: The War to End all Wars
; code By Morgan Cabral, aka Legionaire45
; UI work by Ben and Nathan
; Work log (what still ABSOLUTELY needs to be done)
; -Implement mouse select system
; - on mousehit( 1 ), read from the file that has the story stuff in it
; - take from that file and put text from it into a box
; - random chemistry problem or historical event (depending on where picked)
; -Implement 5:00 timer (really easy)
; -Work on UI
; -Create/implement better Earth models

You should make it like that Defcon game, global nuclear war. Build nukes, defences, target others.
:O Concars this is a game for school, nukes later :O:O
Have you started work on the secret h4x idea u told me about ;);)
btw u seriously need to compress that .avi lol..
Tthis was originally going to be a mod for Defcon :D. Basically though my friends demanded 3D (I had to go show them my shitty FPS...) and thats why im making the game in its current boring state.Quote:

Well, in all the ways of irony and associated affairs, I've got to make a game for school too. Right now, it's kinda boring so we all play Warcraft III Tower Defense during the lessons. Theory is so mundane...
Anyway, I do not have the luxury of using 3d: we are only allowed to use Game Maker 6. 3d is next year (maybe). Wish me luck, 'cause this is a crucial part of my end-of-year total. (Anyone here do/ did IB? It's kinda like the Extended Essay.)
man, I feel for you. At least Blitz3D fully supports 3D functions. Are you at a college or a high school btw?Quote:
