Nexball - Beta 1

[KadaverJack]

Sorry, I'm too stupid to get all that stuff into the correct folders...
On Mac, do I have to put the folder into the hidden folder on the home's directory or should I just put it into the folder that I find on my Desktop? xD

Both should work, but using the folder on your desktop is probably easier for you...

Happy one-year thread resurrection!


I do this for a reason...


Nexball is on its way... I'm slowly recoding it (I'm in exams, can't fully concentrate on that code so)

Ball movement is done already, I have to code goals, ball return and scoring (plus some internals like mapinfos). But the physics part is all done.
I had to "decompile" (translate from debug progs disassembly) the soccer-kind of ball, the physics of that are coded on two lines but they're quite touchy to tweak, I wanted it to feel exactly like it did, rather than have even messier movement :p
I recoded the basket ball from scratch, and I'm considering using the port-o-launch slot instead of the mortar's for ball control, so the mappers can place weapons (not too much please :p) on the map.


I hope to get things done for February. At least a fairly playable beta release. I got some people to test the ball movement and they liked it.
Revenant is supporting my project, which is actually his, heh Kudos to him

Wow, nice. Did you try frikdec to decompile so you wouldn't need to look at intermediate code?

EDIT: I saw you did, so don't pay attention and gl.

[Revenant]

Yay Mr.Bougo \o/

I will help contribute to this new version of Nexball with some quality maps. I might make another ball model that is a little more futuristic as well

I actually didn't know about FrikaC's decompiler, Ronan told me about it yesterday...
I reverse-engineered using the prvm_printfunction command on a server running the 2.3 nexball. Printed out something like this for example: http://pinkrobot.pastebin.com/m16afc728
It's quite easy to guess how that works :p

Frikdec is not the only one decompiler, btw.

In anticipation of MrBougo's recreation of the nexball mod, I am making some of the old PB made nexball maps graphically a bit more appealing. The first map I have done is Basketball, so here is a shot of basketball_remake_v1r1:



I will post screenshots of other maps when I finish them.

[Fisume!]

Cant wait to play Morphed's and div's remake of SuckerSocks with nexball.

Or some 3v3 Football matches on PB_rink (or however it was called), good old times
btw, looks great PinkRobot. Can remember the basketball map too. Dont forget to make a nice volleyball map. Maybe with the terain of sev's Cleft_village?

Nexball = AWESOME.

Nexball = AWESOME.
