How can I write mods on PC?

[annikk.exe]

What is this beta version for PC that I am hearing about?

Alex, Rudolf, or... it now seems Sillytuna is on board the team as well... can any of you help with this?

[Pilchard123]

PM Sillytuna or...Rudolf, I think. I seem to remember something about Alex moving on to other (hopefully better) things. Just to throw more confusion around, Sillytuna is also called Alex.

Also, hi!

Hi Pilchard, old friend. :>  Good to see/hear from you again.

I've sent a PM to Sillytuna.  So for the avoidance of doubt, are SillyTuna and Alex (as in developer Alex) one and the same?  Or two seperate people that both happen to be called Alex?

[Pilchard123]

As far as I can remember, they are two separate people who are each called Alex.

Ok. :>

Man I am hungry for the code.  I started porting the 3D engine into Java with the help of my friend James, who is a professional Java developer.  I was supposed to be at his house now, working on it...  but unfortunately the parking brake on my car is stuck on. :<
So it looks like I'm going nowhere.


Most of all, I miss coding AI.  That was such a satisfying project.

I'll have a look at the level files for HD and see if they look anything like the classic ones - I'll have to re-download it, but I'll have that done in a bit.

I've had an email from Alex (SillyTuna) to say that I can have an advance copy shortly, so it looks like I will be modding again soon. :>

Trying to persuade Aino to get back on board too.  We need to have another AI war!

How much modability does the version you get have? The one I got, a lot of months ago, doesn't provide more than the basic map-making functions.

[annikk.exe]

I've no idea what it will provide.  Enough to make maps, I guess. :>


Bring it on, I say... restrictions galore.  I'll still make some nice content for it. :>
By the time the PC port is released, I bet we can have a dozen custom maps waiting for it.  Who knows, if we make really cool stuff maybe it will be included in the vanilla release!

Received my copy, and installed :>
