Thx for the link. Yes, its true, I'm working on a menu editor, using Visual Basic and OpenGL for the preview (yes that works!). Sometimes I wish I had done it in Visual C++, but I'm not very fine how to create GUIs there :rolleyes: I'm not ready...  [Read More]

Hey, don't despair ;) Just have fun :p I've been listening to any kind of MIDIs (General MIDI, DF XMID etc.) for a very long time. You'll soon find it very boring because it either all sounds similar (before: all same crap, and after: all same prefe...  [Read More]

LOL i see :cool: my opinion is: as soon as you die in the game, the difficulty setting must have been too high for you :D Perhaps the HUD could show that using some info in a menu. But i don't think a display is needed on the ingame visible hud....  [Read More]

We have no swords in DF :p . The exisiting settings were good enough there i think. Let us start with them. In DF the difficulty settings partially result from the amount and strength of the ennemies, and the strength of Kyle (the available ammo and...  [Read More]

I consider you read CAREFULLY the error message... your images have simply the wrong size, make them e.g. 512x256 or 512x512 or whatever is power of 2, from 1x1 to 1024x1024. Then it should work....  [Read More]

The tools will mainly be the same, e.g. map can be created using GTKRadiant (check its latest release) etc.. We're still waiting for a JA SDK that contains the modifiable game code, and possibly an updated shader editor....  [Read More]

Thanks, Kevin, we're working on it :p Bizarre... the demo_full should be a .zip file and you should extract it anyways to a new folder (in parallel to the base folder, e.g. into gamedata/dfmod_demo). Just putting the zip file there simply can't wor...  [Read More]

I had voted "both" if there was an option. On one hand, using game-engine rendered cutscenes, you don't need to store the according and mostly huge - or bad compressed - video files. But on the other hand, you can't really do everything wi...  [Read More]
