Unpossible! (X-ball? Just noticed DavidM is in charge of gameplay now! Good to see you still have love for the DB concept David.)

the main changes that I did to the concept (as to be used in xball) are in 2.4beta already. just a bit of coding that needs to be done, then it can go out.

I think it's more work than you think it needs David - net code is always hard to get right, and the weapon seemed rather unusable in the version I played. Whilst it would be good to get 2.4 out I think it would be better to expend my energies on X-Ball (or DB "The next generation" or whatever we're gonna call it). If someone else fancied having a go it would be cool but I don't know of any other coders who have the required knowledge to get it done quickly.

Oi o_O

So X-ball and 2.4 will both be worked on, seperately but by the same team, with generally the same content?

..eeck

so what happened to matt? he was keen on getting the ball rolling again a while ago...

Post by **DavidM** » 19-09-2005 17:45

getting 2.4 out would mainly
-help me testing the big change ideas by me and balance here and there and maybe spot big trouble
-give the community something new to play finally

what needs to be done coding wise is ball in netcode and minor weapon changes

matt is ignoring my emails, dunno what's up. he is not in my plans anymore.

This thread gave me a warm fuzzeh feeling. Might be the chocolate kicking in. Might be news about DB 2.4.

Remind me again, why am I against X-ball now?

oh cmon CATA! help out to get db 2.4 out then get back to xball. I'm excited about xball as well but it's just reality that it's going to take a long time to complete and be ready for us to make the switch. In the meantime we need to keep this community going and a new version would do wonders.

amen

Perhaps you could use 2.4 and tryout some of xball's gameplay ideas? At least we have something new to play then $\o/$
