Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 13, 2006, 10:13:00 am

This is gonna be a port of the the classic Mac OS game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Conquest

the game looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/Sc3.jpg (Not dial-up friendly)


the engine will be based of my new mapping engine so the first thing to do will be to convert all necessary sprites into the engine format


RIPPED SO FAR:
Water:

Land:

City:

Smoke Overlay for occupied city:

Tank:

Looks really nice, I guess it is similar to that of C & C?

Post by: elfprince13 on September 13, 2006, 10:39:00 am

thanks, I just realised they are distorted though, they are currently 16*16 and are supposed to be 16*12

ASM would totally rock! Those sprites look amazing Elfprince13! Keep up the good work :thumbup: btw, what's a DCS6?

Edit: nvm, Doors CS right? Wow, so you know asm?  :P

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 22, 2006, 01:19:00 am

yeah, its Doors CS


anyway, I starting picking up asm back in the spring before my hiatus, then took a break. I know also know a fairly decent chunk about the theory and terminology of Asm  just from hanging around the community for almost 2 years.....

Post by: Dragon__lance on September 22, 2006, 03:59:00 am

Sweetness! I just recently picked up ASM too, (finally understood it after 3 tries), if there's anything i could help with, just ask! :D

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 22, 2006, 07:13:00 am

I hope you dont mind, but I really want to try this by myself, if I need help though Ill be sure to post here.

WAIT WAIT WAIT so the mouse routine of DCS can be used IN game? cool, so i guess it shouldnt be too hard to implement it right? Also does real USB mouse support works yet?

nice interface/title screen btw!

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 24, 2006, 12:44:00 pm

heck yeah, you really should keep up with the DCS developments....

and no it doesn't support USB mouse yet, although someone could write an SE (Shell Expansion) for it pretty easily using usb8x

and thanks on the title screen

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 24, 2006, 01:01:00 pm

well i check ti news regulary and cemetech has channel here but I have no clue about asm stuff so I cant understand everything, plus I dont check the cemetech forums anymore in case i land on a flame war

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 24, 2006, 01:03:00 pm

does Cemetech show up on the ti-news? besides, you can just check out the screenies on the main page as they are released.

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 24, 2006, 01:05:00 pm

yes it does, i check ti news every day for news from the community to not have to go on 20 different websites :P

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 24, 2006, 02:29:00 pm

new news: all the sprites now have both a 16*16 and 8*8 version to allow the user to choose whether they want smoother gameplay or more pretty graphics

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 24, 2006, 02:36:00 pm

wow sound cool, more flexible for the user, will there be a grayscale mode as well?

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 24, 2006, 02:47:00 pm

probably not for the first release although I will consider it

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 24, 2006, 03:31:00 pm

aaah sound lieka  good deal, oh and i would go with one thing at once btw, like start with the hi res sprites, then low res, or vice versa, will make stuff easier

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on September 25, 2006, 12:18:00 am

dont worry, switching sprite size is easy ;)

Title: Strategic Conquest
Post by: elfprince13 on October 12, 2006, 04:41:00 am

well, Ive decided against 16*16 entirely because of screen real estate issues. :(

however several other things have been accomplished in the mean time;

mock-up game screen:

Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: elfprince13 on October 15, 2006, 02:09:00 pm thanks guys, I have one major bug I need to get worked out before any sort of demo. Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 15, 2006, 02:15:00 pm wow amazing! this is the main map rigth? i hope to play the demo soon ^^ Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: elfprince13 on October 15, 2006, 02:17:00 pm thats just something I was working on to see how the tiles looked with each other. the demo won't have much playable, just random map generation and the ability to scroll around in the map, plus the working main menu, and the beauteous titlescreen.

Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 09, 2006, 12:05:00 pm o.o thats getting better and better you should make it so when you reach top/bottom of screen it scroll automatically though, like starcraft so we dont have to use the scroll bars everytime we need to scroll Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: elfprince13 on December 09, 2006, 01:43:00 pm thanks man, Ill see what I can do about autoscrolling, hopefully kerm will allow custom event handlers for the mouse routine...

Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 22, 2006, 02:41:00 am sound cool :D Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: DrewMarin on December 22, 2006, 03:11:00 am well cant u ruun oregon trail on mac os x? if so then this game might be adbandon ware because so is oregorn trail, sim city, and others Title: Strategic Conquest Post by: elfprince13 on December 22, 2006, 05:11:00 am its not abandonware.....its still considered a commercially licensed program (albeit pretty inexpensive). on a different note: well, no luck on the AI, but he did provide me with some useful information.
