this brings me back to my initial post, I'm sure if the only people who could get their hands on adequate tools (be it the source or a much more substantial SDK) were those who paid a licence fee and/or signed an agreement stating they'd not be naughty, then there would be little threat of things li...

That's a real shame. A modular approach to darwinia would have meant all kinds of modding opertunities but from what I've seen it's missing out on a lot :(. Still, that doesn't mean I'm not going to make a mod for it, in fact I've got a couple of really good ideas that I'd like to develop and work o...

I hereby consider myself completely smooshed. anybody herer on WoW Europe?

Granted releasing the source for purchase this soon after release is risky, but I'd be more than willing to sign any legal stuff obliging me to never let anybody see it etc. I'm just eager to get to work making new units (I've had a fair few ideas). Legally binding agreements plus a fee like with th...

A poke in starfyre's direction, you really should read your PMs :/

I just wanted to bring attention to a really ace shareware scrolling shooter R-type clone I found a little while ago - Jets 'N Guns, it's got great graphics, good level design and best of all, a complete soundtrack provided by Machinae Supremacy, made specifically for the game! anyhoo, I figured tha...

Okey dokes, I've tried reproducing it and i've been able to get some, but not other of the bugs I mentioned earlier, plus some I didn't mention. Firstly, both times after the intro I had no sound as you would expect it (ie I got the weird buzzing and pulsing the first time round, nothing at all the ...

So far as I can see, these have not been posted yet. I started playing darwinia with showintro = 2 (just love that intro) Firstly, I took over the first radar, then the second. I then made a squad and sent them to the radar. I then realised I hadn't aligned the radars yet, so I did that. 3 of the 4 ...

Something I noticed whilst playing darwinia for the first time today (new computer, rah) is that if you get a squad and then click on the dish on the starting island, they'll get really close to it, then... start dancing! Well, to be more precise, they constantly hop from one place to another very f...

I made a new file with the sysinfo tool v2 and i'm getting the same error as tommy...

Edit: To clarify, the site wont accept my new sysinfo tool and thus I can't download p1b2 (phase 1, beta 2 )

Hey ho... Anybody on the beta got tips on how to tweak the prefs to boost darwinia's performance? I've set all render* prefs to 4, running at 640x480 and I still get about 6fps average :/ I'm running a ~900MHz P3 with 512mb ram, radeon mobility m4 (this is a laptop) so knowing if this is something I...

update update la la la...

okay, I've fixed the wobbly camera now, thanks to film and soul

the mouse pointer is still pants and my fps is officially 4-5 (9-10 when looking straight down)

is this because of my graphics card, do you think?

Okeydoo...

after tweaking the prefs file some more (setting all render* prefs to 4) I managed to increase the fps, though the mouse and camera issues still prevail.

I was told hitting f2 enabled a debug cam of some kind, but that's done nothing for me.

Okay, here's my system: Intel Pentium III (Cu), 993MHz 511MB RAM Mobility M4 Graphics Card running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1 (5.1 - 2600) This is a laptop. Now then. When I run darwinia, I get a ridiculously low FPS, around 2-4fps I would estimate. The mouse cursor has a black backgrou...
