i'll do that eventually, but they provided me with a good template for window resizing and setup so i didn't have to rewrite it all myself Very Happy

ok thanks. Would you also mind telling me how to make stand alone programs like yours? I have the code done, I just don't know how to create the exe.

That's pretty cool. Though I prefer to use height maps for terrains.

a slight variation on the camera angles :

btw does anyone know where i could get my hands on some models? i'm not very good with 3d modeling =(

I use polycount. Though they only have md2 models.

Author:  Homer_simpson [ Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:21 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 3D Space game in progress

Added a bunch of stuff
controls :
W,S : slow down , speed up
a,d:left and right rotation
arrow keys movement;

if the enemy ship is too far it will only appear as a red outline, once the object is close enough it's center enough it'll glow green(gonna use it for missile lock later) if not it'll glow red...

suggestions are welcome, also 3d models and 2d artwork is appreciated

um, why is your ship console named "anus"? other than that sweet Very Happy can't wait till i can blow stuff up with it

You should use the mouse for x,y rotation and right click+mouse for z rotation. And hide the mouse.

I'm having the same problem on my laptop, it might be due to the screen ratio. Is your desktop widescreen?

Author:  Homer_simpson [ Sat Feb 07, 2009 9:48 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 3D Space game in progress

no my desktop isn't wide screen
what kind of problem is it?

Post subject:  RE:3D Space game in progress

ok, works fine when I run it, but when I fire a missile the screen goes black and all the ships change to red orbs, is that supposed to happen? i was hoping they would blow up Sad

Awesome. I love hyperspace mode, it makes things so much faster. Going faster that you bullets is a plus too.

what is happening is that the ships are leaving the visible range, when that happens they turn into radar markings(red orbs).
if you want to see them blow up you can either shoot them at close range or hyperspeed your way towards them before they blow up to see them explode =)
