Nah man it's ok :), don't feel bad :) It's just another hurdle that's been overcome in our quest to make this engine bug free :)

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
Without lanning, I was down with the blues.
I felt no man could save my latency.
I felt the whole world against me.

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a Doomer at the Y.M.C.A.
He can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

Oh wow, that was a nice little tune/song :D

I can't...I can't come back with anything to it though :(




I'm just happy that it works again...maybe I should try a lan game over the net with one of my mates once he has the binaries...just to see if that works too...

Problem is, no one team has really coalesced to take over wargus development, and when new coders gain an interest, they take one look at how terribly documented the code is and just turn away.

Wargus had the potential to be big, bigger than the Doom community, bigger than Exult.

The thing really needs to be rewritten from the ground up. There's so much potential, and it breaks my heart to see it stifled like it is.

Just playing through the Expansion levels for the Orcs again and pretty much as soon as you start doing ANYTHING on the third map, the opposition start attacking you crazy style. This still feels way too quick to me. Is there a way to tame the A.I? Would editing the land_attack scripts help?

Erum I've seen the same problem on the same map...Did you have any problems with the speed of the A.I on the second map of that campaign? I did.

A.I needs to take a vallium and calm the heck down a bit and realize we're just building stuff, that's all. I've looked through the scripts and can't figure out where to change things to calm them down...Might give it another go when I get the motivation.
