[Happy Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone.]

Merry Xmas, MG

[Collision Decisions]

What physics library have you decided on?

[Ann2d and AnnGui2]

Nice work

[Post 1: On 'Beyond Civilization']

Glad to see you're still around, Gandi. Your project sounds very interesting, I hope you plan to keep posting progress, and additional information about the project overall.

[Smoke ribbons, when emitters are too slow]

Great blog post, Flexman.

[Leadwerks Engine 2.43, advanced optics, and more...]

Agreed, Rick, agreed.

[Data Loss Announcement]

WiredTree is a great company and their support is top notch.

[Data Loss Announcement]

Businesses/Hosts that offer unlimited disk space, like SpexHost, is legit. Just because it says "unlimited disk space" doesn't mean you can use it as your personal pack rat storage dump. If you want to store terabytes of worthless content/data, buy another hard drive, not an unlimited disk space hosting package. As long as everything stored is related to the websites you're publishing then you're following the ToS/ToU.

 

However, at the same time, I do agree that you should be weary of hosts that offer specials and other gimmicks. Starting a hosting "company" blew up years ago, now there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them now. It's hard to tell who is legit and who is in it for "easy" money.

 

I didn't just jump up and buy an account with SpexHost because it said unlimited disk (not to mention I rent from other hosts as well who don't offer unlimited disk). I went through the usual trail, talked to the owner, talked to the employee's, asked hundreds of questions, paid on a per month (non-subscription) basis to test them out (30-day is worthless, you learn nothing of a host in 30 days), before finally purchasing for a full year; fantastic people running a fantastic business.

[Grim - new game being developed by Toxin Games.]

Yeah, that's what I was curious about, I had seen this blog and it reminded me of this project. I went straight to the website but didn't notice any updates.

 

Great to hear it's still moving forward and I look forward to seeing those updates.

 

Cheers.

This project still alive?

[Data Loss Announcement]

Tell your host to restore a previous backup. Most hosts do daily, weekly and monthly backups of the whole server. Sometimes they'll charge a small fee for the restoration.

 

If they don't do that, drop your cheap host, and get a real one.

[Just to say Hi !]

Welcome, afke.

[Jane Croft: The Baker Street Murder]

Congrats man. The artwork looks great. Can't wait to see more.

[Tonight I have mostly been coding...rotor RPM]

After I wrote my reply I kind of figured that it would simply do nothing as a fail-safe. Warning messages would definitely cut it when teaching what to do and not to do, I think.

[Tonight I have mostly been coding...rotor RPM]

A lot of heat with grinding metal noise would definitely let me know I did something wrong and to not do it again.

[Next.. Ambient NPC population]

Good stuff, MG. I can't wait to check out a video with the progress. Screen-shots for AI doesn't do any justice for it.

[Attack of the Killer pathfinding butterflies!]

Good job, and hilarious

[A* Pathfinding Using Blitzmax And Leadwerks Engine]

Wow, awesome job, MG. Going to download the demo and check it out. Great job.

[Flight model Mk2 update and roads]

Very nice, the roads look great, and it's a good idea how you guys are doing them as well.

[Some more architecture]

As always, great work man.

[Double-buffered shadow maps]

This sounds great.

[Blog Bug Fixed]

LMAO

[Merry Christmas!]

Merry Christmas, Josh.

 

I like the idea with the framewerk ability to easily add post-processing effects. I'm creating a similar design for the framewerk I'm currently using. When making additional shaders it was just becoming a redundant task to constantly add fields, if statements, and methods just to start testing a shader. Eventually I made "testshader" fields, and method to reduce that task, lol.

 

The new addition to framewerk will also hopefully aid others when everyone releases shaders. I've released two but I don't know how many were able to actually get it working, not to mention how many passed it up because of the work required to get it working. Hopefully this will bridge the gap.
