Anna basically gave away what big change will happen with the PMS code, and most of us are aware of the method realistic mode weapons will use to derive their settings. That, plus some other stuff, which is bound to be cool.

Doesn't all this change seem a bit much for a 0.0.1th of a version?

what? what change?

jrgp · « **Reply #2 on:** February 03, 2007, 10:16:04 pm »

Yeah, I think it is a lot of changes for that tiny of an update.

..::HHH::.. · « **Reply #3 on:** February 03, 2007, 10:18:37 pm »

what will they change with the PMS?

Anna · « **Reply #4 on:** February 03, 2007, 10:36:03 pm »

The vertex alpha thing was leaked a long time ago so I thought most people already knew about it. There was no change to the PMS format. It's a very small change to Soldat (especially compared with some of the other changes

) although it does open up a lot of possibilities for mappers. Also I wanted to let people fix their invisible custom maps ahead of time so that switching to the next Soldat doesn't cause as many problems.

What exactly does that do?

..::HHH::.. · « **Reply #6 on:** February 03, 2007, 10:40:45 pm »

The vertex alpha thing.. anna?.. please tell me?

and what possibilities?

HAAH, just because you can put alpha transparency on Poylgons does not mean it jumps up such a huge step...

MofoNofo · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:19:14 am »

I'd prefer it to be a 1.3.2...

Mainly because MM said he'd never make soldat 2.0, and 1.4 is getting to close to that

echo_trail · « **Reply #9 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:40:45 am »

Also, MM isn't the kinda guy to change his mind just before the line, not with these things anyway. I think it's still gonna be 1.3.2

I don't care too much about it really. All I care about is seeing it released, I'm cheerful as a kid about it

truup · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2007, 08:28:31 am »

I still don't get it what's the damn problem with 1.3.2? If he want's to have it 1.3.2 then it will be 1.3.2 it really doesn't matter, even if he re-coded the whole game. It's MM's game, not yours. :@ What does it matter anyway? Tell me?

Nothing? Thats why this is useless discussion anyway. ;P

Well, I do not care if it is 1.3.1.1 or 2.6, it does not change anything, except that 1.3.1.1 is harder and slower to type.

For when it comes out the actual version number is totally insignificant.
For the time being though, people will have an understanding as to how much different or how much better soldat will be based on the number. 1.3.1.1 would most likely imply very minor fixes. 2.0 will imply a revolution in soldat. 1.4 will imply some new gameplay and cool lil features etc.

Yeah, well what if he just said 1.3.2 but wants to surprise us with 1.4.0?
1.1.0 was released Feb 03
1.2.0 was released Jan 04
1.3 was released Aug 05

At this rate not only is 1.4.0 not only highly anticipated, but also, at this rate, we'd never reach 2.0 at a reasonable time...

Anna...? PMS...?

General Discussion is for Soldat related topics only fellas...

Keron Cyst · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2007, 10:58:45 am »

Oh c'mon

This has been out in the #soldat.polyworks IRC for a while now. The .PMS map filetype was not changed at all; Anna just found a section in its coding that allows polygons to have transparency (invisible polygons, half-transparent polygons, etc.) so that Doesn't-Collide or Only-Player-Collides polygons may kind of act like a custom scenery layered between Middle and Front... and other possibilities, like invisible bullet-blockers.

While it may make maps 1337er, I don't think it demands a total v1.4 change in version, heh...

I think CG demo will be released with 1.3.2

I bet $5 that CG won't be released before June 2007.

MofoNofo · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2007, 04:10:40 am »

...
I said DEMO.

But you're right in a way, it wont come out till maybe mid-late this year.

the alpha transparency will make leet shadow work possible... oh and think of climb maps with almost invisible platforms
