Herro folks!
Due to financial problems (who has'nt these days?) and maybe moving in the near future i am currently working my ass of so work on DE is really slow now!
However: i'm still totally game for the next beta-release (0.2) wich will have loads of bug-fixes and some new stuff :3
So even tho progress is slow right now, as soon as i have more time (and money) again i'll start working my ass of again on DE!
Draconian Empire is now online for download so grab your copy and plaaay!
Now if you find any bugs, have commentary or anything else: please comment on this journal. I'll keep this journal updated with all the known bugs and wether they are fixed yet or not.
KNOWN ISSUES/BUGS:
Unsolved bugs have a "-" in front of them, bugs where im currently working on a "o" and solved bugs will have a "v" and are striked through.
Compability:
- DE does not run on WINDOWS 7 (64bit, 32 bit prob. not also)!
- Mac/WINE users can't use Shader 2.0, so a shader-less version is needed.
- DE runs slower on older machines due to the graphical improvements.
Graphical:
o Weapon FX needs to be revised, replace Human miniguns with lasers
- Make new shield effects.
o All ships need proper LOD's + Warship misses LOD's
o Draconians could use a new texturing style
o Draconian Fighter models are kinda low-poly, could use revisions
v Human Repair-Droid texture misses tangent calculations, so it looks kinda fugly
- Human Shipyard (Valhalla) has no textures.
- UI needs more changing & the subsystem build-menu could use more tabs (so many subsystems!)
- Need to make UI's for all resolutions (now only 1280x1024 is supported).
Audio/Music:
- Menu music needs to be revised a bit.
Singleplayer:
- When pressing the escape-button during a mission the screen often goes black.
- After repairing your ship with the repair-droid during mission 2 the screen goes black suddenly.
- pre-mission 3 cinematic reverts to stock HW2 cinematic.
- Intro cinematic does not show DE title at the end but instead shows Evil Turtle Productions again.
- Localization misses .dat files, causing original HW2 texts and voice-acting to appear. Needs fix.
Multiplayer:
- AI does not work properly yet, do not build stuff and do not research.
- Make new CPUBuild tables for the new weapon subsystems.
Other:
- Replace two Supressor Frigate's weapon slots with sensor slots.
- Need to make SHIELD-subsystems for draconians.
Keep ya'll posted!
