I am currently reading the book "C++ Coding Standards" by Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, and they talk about this exact problem. Their 8th guideline is "Don’t optimize prematurely", but their 9th guideline is "Don’t pessimize prematurely"... Knuth's rule is no exc...

If you need more than one person per language, I can help with French. I'm a native speaker and have a bit of free time at the moment.

I think that the replies in this thread are a bit hard for felixxx999 and evotech... They have a valid point, that has been brought on this forum several times before (well, once by me): the default speed feels a bit slow for some people. Therefore many people constantly hold the shift key. There is...

This thread by The Goldfish explains a lot of things. You can also take a look at official maps.

The general idea is to create a map from scratch in Darwinia, and then convert it by hand to a Multiwinia map.

Another related possibility would be to have limited support for multiplayer in the demo. This would ease our proselytism attempts (or is that evangelism?), and may also bring more player available for those who own the full game. Would make everyone happier... But I understand it may not be the mor...

This is exactly what is described in this bug. Do you have an ATI card? And while reinstalling Multiwinia, didn't you change anyhting related to the Catalyst A.I. setting in ATI's driver?

Sorry, I totally missed the download link to your map on my first read! :( I feel really stupid now. Your experiments go much further than what I had in mind. Also, I never tried to increase the player count above 4, that's probably why I had issues with trunk ports, and size of teams (and why triff...

What I have in mind is a 2v2 map, with the evilinians thrown in the middle, controlling some key feature (e.g. spawn points, or scoring zones). The map should be designed such that 2 players is not enough to defeat the EWG, so that both team should at first cooperate to free the infested area. As yo...

The Goldfish, could you describe a bit more the issues you're talking about? I'm trying to do a small "proof of concept" map for such cooperative play, mainly to see if it would be fun or not. The issues I've encountered so far are: - no support for more than 2 players team (i.e. 3v1 doesn...

I don't think we need a new game mode. We can bring more cooperative gameplay in MW just by creating a "new kind" of maps, where 4 players would fight against the AI (which could be the evilinians, as in Aegis Tyra's proposition). Almost everything is already there for this, and the few bi...

I really like the idea of Aegis Tyra, that the futurewinians are some kind of "force of the good". That fit nicely with their behavior (i.e., the subversion gun). Also, with the evilinians as "force of evil", this give a nice manichaean touch to MW world. Especially since the pla...

Here's a screenshot of how things are coming, which SEEM to be ok so far... remember that this is still a work in progress . I see there's a TrunkPort in the evilians team... Does it work? I tried to convert an existing assault map into a "defence against evil", but the trunk ports refuse...

Agreed. I'd love to see more cooperative possibilities in multiwinia. Especially, maps were all players fight against evilinians would be awesome. I think almost everything is already in place for this, with a few exceptions (e.g. trunk ports, or scoring). This would also fit well into the plot line...
