Title: more screenshots
Post by: shangralah on January 24, 2004, 06:39:29 pm: Id like to see more developement screenshots to see how well its going

Post by: Skizzik on January 24, 2004, 06:55:08 pm: That\'d ruin the surprise. ;) They\'ve shown enough to make clear they\'re making progress and they\'ve said CB is approaching release (and I believe them).

p.s I\'m a triple-ass now :D, oh tripel-as (I don\'t know what those 2 words mean:()

Post by: Ghostslayer on January 24, 2004, 07:28:25 pm: They\'ve mentioned before that screenshots wont be shown since it looks pretty bad right now.

This is from another thread:

I think part of the problem is that a lot of the screen shots will, to quote: \"Look like ass\" for the simple matter that not all the graphics/fonts are in place and the models are not fully textured yet. So we could show a screen shot and have a lot of people say \"Woah, that looks like crap\" when it is only half finished with the details.

I\'d rather wait for a surprise than see something half finished.

that sword in your sig looks familiar... hmm ;)

on topic,
someone should simply compile the game and get us some screens.

Post by: Axsyrus on January 24, 2004, 10:32:36 pm: As everybody has been saying, it looks like crap right now. so what\'s the point in showing screenshots?
Title:
Post by: Abemore on January 25, 2004, 11:30:37 am: The screens show the progress.

and this (http://www.gaboby.plus.com/cb1.jpg) doesn\'t look too bad.

Post by: Axsyrus on January 26, 2004, 04:41:28 pm: that screenshot is.. old :P

All this screenshot shows is the new gui(without any skins), I don\'t think many people will like this as an official public screenshot as it really does look pretty crappy(compared to how it will look.)
It shows what the gui basicly looks like, at least what functions are in it, but you could have read this in the public cvs too..

Post by: Commando on January 26, 2004, 09:44:45 pm: If you guys wanna see the recent version , I can take a screenshot.. If you wanna see if with your own eyes, download the CVS version and hope it will compile :D
Title:
Post by: shangralah on January 26, 2004, 10:00:01 pm: commando that would be nice if you took a screenshot and posted it here and where do i download the cvs versoin again???

and abemore draklar made this sig for me hehe
Title:
Post by: Commando on January 26, 2004, 10:26:20 pm: The CVS version.. Download it form SourceForge CVS :D.

Ok here goes:

Here is the the first sight you will get in the CVS version.
Those things with numbers on them is the dummies in use in the current CVS version.
[Removed]

Here we\'ll see some NPC walking.
[Removed]

Here I\'m gonna buy a boardsword I think. Haven\'t decided.
[Removed]

I bought a boardsword. So what next? Kill an NPC!
[Removed]

Notes:
Yes I know, the dummies are ugly.
No, it\'s not that map that we\'ll run around in CB
No, the dummie arn\'t a race
Yes, I have lots of tria
No, The dummie don\'t show the weapon

If you want to see the in the double size, check this folder:
command.no-ip.com/cb/big/

Conclusion:
Even that it might not look that way, the team has gone a long way from MB, and are closing CB fast.

That\'s all folks :D

Post by: shangralah on January 26, 2004, 10:33:59 pm: thanks for taking a screenie ..... man those dummies are awesome

im glad they got some lively npcs too :D
Title:
Post by: Quwaar on January 26, 2004, 10:57:04 pm: Man this looks great!!! :D

Im really happy Im waiting for CB, normaly I would have been long gone for a game, but I guess this one\'s worth the wait :D
Title:
Post by: Abemore on January 27, 2004, 09:54:16 am: thanks for the screens, Commando. saved me the compile time.
Title:
Post by: Commando on January 27, 2004, 04:53:38 pm: I can also tell you this:

The inventory screen (Which im too lazy to dump) has now places for arms, legs, head (s :P), shoulders, and so on

The windows has a really nice fade effect when you do a mouse over which makes them much easier to read, and they are transperant when you play.

The NPC attack back (Even though it in the screen didn\'t. That one is very stupid :D)

I haven\'t experienced any lag 8o

If you wanna see everything while it develops, visit this page.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/planeshift/planeshift/docs/history.txt
This is the history doc for the CVS which makes an entrie each time something is added.

Post by: shangralah on January 27, 2004, 05:51:37 pm: thanks for the info ....... feel free to take a screenie anytime :P
Title:
Post by: Commando on January 27, 2004, 06:53:10 pm: Even more candy!

Here\'s the new inventory screen I talked about
[Removed]

When you login now, you can choose between 4 char of your\'s
Removed]

And last this time, the new guild info window.
Here you can setup all propeties of your guild (If you have the access to)
[Removed]

And as before, the big screens can be found in command.no-ip.com/cb/

yeah, why not distribute binaries of the cvs everytime it\'s updates.. wich is about 3 times a day :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 27, 2004, 08:38:50 pm: well i dont know anything about the cvs version so can you play it if it hasnt been updated? i dont even know if the cvs is an online thingy. if not i would be glad to play an semi old version. then when something important is put it (like actual models and butt loads of finished textures) then if someon else were nice enough they could update it then. it seems that those kinds of things only happen every 2 months. still a bit of work, but ayways like i said im not recomending it seriously, just saying that yes that would be a nice thing to do.

Post by: Umpapa on January 28, 2004, 08:08:58 am: Man that small bit of a taste is enough to make me go hunt 300 more crystals. or was that 650 for that axe. lol
thanks for the shots.

Post by: Xandria on January 28, 2004, 09:23:47 am: I\'m not exactly sure that distributing binaries of the CVS is a particularly good idea. I for one wouldn\'t even consider it without speaking with one of the devs first...

For one, I think the CVS is one of those priviledge things, that if you can figure out how to get it to build on your computer, with little or no help from the devs, then you are deserving to see what is in store. If you\'re just the average user then you\'ll have to live with what screenies the devs give you.

There are reasons binaries aren\'t built automatically for everyone to download:
1) CVS is intended to be a developer tool, not a user tool
2) There are things in the public CVS that the devs would rather the whole community not spread rumors about
3) Binaries tend to cause a lot of problems, especially when people try to use them without knowing how to solve minor problems (again, back to the priviledge)
4) As has been mentioned before (by the devs themselves), the CVS graphics look like **** and they don\'t want to hear \"how come the graphics for the next uber-release of PS look like ****?\"

So...Commando I\'m hoping you at least checked with one of the devs about this idea. Last time I heard even posting CB shots was highly discouraged, but things do have a tendency to change from time to time. Especially when I get out of my chair to get a couple cookies.

...

Okay, so it\'s *SEVERAL* cookies, you happy now??

...

Just go away...

Post by: Commando on January 28, 2004, 03:08:06 pm: Sorry all you who took it bad.. I thank you for opening my eyes.. I guess im just to friendly..:D

Post by: Moogie on January 28, 2004, 04:30:20 pm: How many times has it been said, the gods do not want CVS screenshots posted on the forums. They don\'t want all the dummy/half completed stuff shown to the world as if they\'re \"new screenshots from the upcoming version Crystal Blue!\"... Because they ARN\'T.

So :P
