Friday with Means - December 4th, 2008

[Slakrr]

Hi Means. You sure have a lot more reading to do since you started Friday with Means hehe

In this thread http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...d.php?t=537734 You responded to Crattey by saying


Let me start by first saying I haven't read the rest of this thread and I won't be. Not everyone is going to get a significant upgrade in every patch. In a coming update I'm 100% certain other classes will be complaining about your upgrades. I hope this puts things in perspective.


I'm just wondering if this was referring to some upcoming Crat buffs/changes or to the Crat fear nano.

Thanks

The Engine:

The engine being implemented is Ogre 1.6. At the beginning of this week it was Ogre 1.4. Moving up to the newest version of this engine has broken a few things (textures, Antialiasing etc.) but the guys are working really hard on it. As promised here are two new screenshots of the engine. Do not ask about the framerate yet.

Looking forward to the feedback on the playfields and Nanos!

You guys are using OGRE? o.0 wth at using opensouce game engine. I though it was an internal one. And using an RC is bad juju! No wonder soo much fun and mayhem... unless I missed the release of 1.6 rather than the Release candidit. Reminds me of all the things that kept breaking in some of my work when Crystal Space kept moving forward and the versioning would keep breaking things. BLEH!

Hu?

What this time?

Because i just said that ranged advy isn't one of the most powerful prof of Ao?

No, that's not why, and its not even that I disagree with everything you say. Its more than you have a habit of saying it repeatedly, shrilly, incoherently, and often rudely. And any time anyone else brings up anything else, you jump in with this same issue. Just stop throwing a tantrum over it, already, and try more reasonable discourse. I'm just sayin'...

Ogre 1.6 was released on 4th November, so yes, you missed it

Does it matter what the engine is? At least using an opensource one makes it easier to customize and get community help for, plus is probably considerably cheaper than the time required to get a commercial engine or write your own from scratch.

Oh dear god the wall of text is KILLING ME MY EYES MY EYES ARE GOING TO EXPLODE and no i didnt't read a word of it, because to do would lea dto me having to drop out of school all together just to finish it p_P.

That would be an interesting perk action... blindness for a massive AOE damage effect.... :P

But seriously, why quote Khuri's ENTIRE post if the wall of text's bothers you so much? Really... sheesh.

I didn't see that coming. Somehow I feel all warm and cousy now
We've been using Ogre for our project for a while now and we're loving the results.
To make it even more fun. We've also went through the steps of upgrading to 1.6 a few months ago.
I can imagine a bright feature for AO
