If you're using nFringe, you can also force them to build from inside Visual Studio with the basic "Build Solution" menu option.

    Makes sense. I really didn't get too far into that because of my buddy all being like 'Hey dood lets play Spec ops mode!'

    Appreciate it! I'll play around more with the workflow tonight, and mock up a cheesy sword weapon.

    A sword made of cheese? I'm interested in your game now.

    ...yes. The steampunk world subsidizes cheese excavation from the moon to construct it's tools and weapons.

    Ok, nfringe UCC build paths, I can't seem to find a working site on the internet that has this information.

    Also I set it to point to my existing src\mymod\ path as a project but it doesn't see any subfolders like classes, and their files...I hit refresh and get nothing.

    I hate being such a noob.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    An update for you guys on Velociraptor Job Interview Simulator Pro - we have all our shit together and organised. We have this wicked-functional SVN, our amazing velociraptor fully modelled and normalmapped astoundingly well, and it's being textured and animated right now by two highly gifted dudes. Our design doc is rockin' and we update it constantly like you're supposed to do. We have a bot who gets scared and runs away. Two guys are working on our Suspiciometer system and our conversation system, which will tie into each other. Another guy is working on our third person camera and general rules. Another guy is cranking out very nice looking props and I'm all over the mapping and texturing to make the place feel like an office. And then we have this guy making rad music. This motherfucker is off the ground.

    When I heard about this I really wished I had more time to tinker with something like this. My roommate was going through this schpeal of 3D animation and such, so I told him about this. He got pretty excited, but at this time he's in the same boat as me - not enough time.

    I do hope that with something like this being released we'll see a lot of great new stuff out there. Maybe some new fresh ideas in the gaming world :)

    Alright, so I figured out player input finally. It's pretty simple, but not entirely straight forward.

    Basically, input keys are defined in a file called UTInput.ini (which is generated from DefaultInput.ini). In that file is a whole slew of various bindings and commands. The commands are fired on the loaded PlayerController class.

    For instance, my (not terribly awesome yet) PlayerController looks like such:
    class RpgToolkitPlayerController extends PlayerController;
    
    exec function StartFire(optional byte FireModeNum) {
    	super.StartFire(FireModeNum);
    	`log("Start fire called");
    }
    
    exec function StopFire(optional byte FireModeNum) {
    	super.StopFire(FireModeNum);
    	`log("Stop fire called");
    }
    
    defaultproperties
    {
    }
    

    StartFire and StopFire correspond basically to left button down, left button up with the default bindings.

    I've already re-done my bindings. In RpgToolkit (the base for my Rpg engine), left click is the 'Select' command and right click is the 'Interact' command.

    Alright, after a solid night of coding, I have my custom game, player controller, camera and pawn base class setup. Tomorrow, time to start making the pawns do something RPG'ish. Make skill rolls or something, I don't know.

    Here is a quick draft of the Raptor music. It starts off with the happy music and transitions into the scary music. I'm not sure what I think of it.

    I think it's too tense and frightening and not enough awesome. Needs more hardcore electric guitar.

    Yeah, I've actually been contemplating twitter for the same reason. Your programming insight will be tremendously helpful.

    Sound FX would be pretty fantastic. As would helping LC make maps, as long as you're decent at it.

    I might do twitter. I already have a twitter account. I need to clear all the fucking bot followers off of it though.

    That said. What's a good place to stick a blog these days? I've never uhh, actually had a blog, so I'm not really up on what's hip in that circle.

    Ahhh, figured out how to do syntax highlighting on Wordpress, now it looks much better. Have to use the Java syntax highligher, as it's the closet thing to UnrealScript Wordpress has, but it works for the most part.

    UnrealScript makes a lot of sense really. There are a few annoying things about it (like using ` instead of # for pre-processor macros. Really? Was that necessary?), but for the most part it's a well put together language that is very much tailored to making a game.

    I've decided that my project is quite ambitious and most likely never will be finished if I went in the direction I was going to.

    Now I'm making a much smaller game that I think everyone will enjoy much more.

    It will still use a very similar combat thing to what the original Idea was.

    Mine too, but probably because I don't know how to code... or animate... or map...

    Ok, another noob question:

    event Possess(Pawn inPawn, bool bVehicleTransition)
    {
    Super.Possess(inPawn, bVehicleTransition);
    SetBehindView(true);
    }

    Super is referring to the class object, correct? in this case this is located in a demo of someone's MyPlayerController class.

    So it's the same thing as MyPlayerController.Possess?

    I will need to do a lot of reading on this programming stuff. Should just stick to levels :\
