Awesome!

@meow, the video is on this devlog page: http://www.datarealms.com/devlog/cortex-command/fifth-times-the-charm-igf-finalist/
but its not gameplay of B23, its just a more updated version, you can tell the AI is a lot smarter, and there are some other campaign things like the pointing arrows.

[Shook]

Right, updated the Pelian Army. It can't match up to AAL in awesomeness, though. ._.

AAL is AAL. No offense to ya Shook, but AAL still is more awesome. Still, epic mech faceoff!

[Colescheffler]

I think it would be cool to see both of them come down in activities and have three teams. That would be an epic battle.

[spacemarine9]

DarkStorm, Pelian and AAL all fighting against each other :D

[Colescheffler]

DarkStorm, Pelian and AAL all fighting against each other :D
=World War 3, but sadly, we can only have 2 teams at a time currently... Right?

[spacemarine9]

Well, you could use Lua to spawn a rouge team, but they'd probably shoot each other.

[Shook]

One could just set them to Team 2 (Player 1 and 2 are 0 and 1, respectively), really. That would work, but it would render the health invisible.

Also, now i'm going to pull a numgun and poke you in the face with a teaser.

http://i40.tinypic.com/95vqzr.jpg

Eh? ;o

[spacemarine9]

Heavy bolter? Shotgun? Mobile mini artillery?

[lafe]

Heavy bolter? Shotgun? Mobile mini artillery?

flamethrougher?
taco?!

[PlasmaMan]

ROFLMAOlightspeedgopher?

The only thing I dont like about this game is that you can't edit you base after you hit start. Maybe there should be another game mode called "Wave Mode" and you could build on your base after each wave.

[Killa]

flamethrougher?
taco?!

Flaming taco thrower?! Or maybe some sort of plasma rifle? :D

[blind3001]

i think it shoots some sort of flaming edible but oh so painful projectiles

Shit the cc thread has been unstuck from the main sticky station! Were a drift in space!!!

AAL is sweet and can take down data. (Not the Real one of course just A data I downloaded)

[spacemarine9]

Which is made by the exact same person as the maker of AAL.

WHYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wrestler#1]

WHYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not????

[Duhya]

Why not????

why? i forget the colour to make stuff invisible... What colour was it?

[blind3001]

because someone was angry that there were too many stickes...

[Muntu]

Not the reason.
Also, if this thread is so important to you, why are you filling it with off-topic trash?

[GreyMario]

You should know why, Muntu D:

People are stupid on the internet


In other news, I still don't have this game.

[zalo]

I'm sorry, Muntu, but there are normal games, then there are physics based games, and then there's Cortex Command. You have to resticky this to serve as an example to all future physics game posters.

Also, AAL and Pelian and Darkwhatever are no match for the stuff that I've got coming out. :)

This is like the best example of a physics game, if it doesn't have physics its not moving. (eg the ground). Thanks mr happy face fry oh hai guy, its all coming back to me...

[Shook]

Sounds interesting, i am now officially curious as heck. Damn you. >.>

Also, the gun you folks saw previously (and totally missed in every guess) is an autocannon that fires large and heavy slugs/projectiles made of MOPixels. They can pummel many things to oblivion quite fast, despite their lack of AoE. And they're steamy.

It's still just a physics game. It doesn't need stickied. If there's that much to be said about it, it will stay near the top anyway.

I would like to inform you that the IGF build is downloadable from the IGF site. Oh yes, there is no demo timer in it. :D

Probaly just zombie cave.

[Wrestler#1]

Mh, looks like the full game to me, I haven't tested mods, though!

[spacemarine9]

Mods do work I believe. It just adds better AI and arrows to help.Finally got through the fileplanet queue :p
Also, demo timer is universally out. Woo.
I just hope B23 doesn't come out soon and makes the IGF build out of date.

So the only reaon to buy this game are the mods? ... I don't know if that's worth 15,07€...

[spacemarine9]

Mods work with the IGF version. And mods also work with the free demo.
Demo timer is out entirely in the IGF build, as its registered in the name of IGF.
This isn't a demo.

Holy fuck! Thank you SO much for this! :eek:

[spacemarine9]

I just survived for a hour. I'm not used to long games of Cortex Command any more O_o
Everything is there, which is awesome. Just messed around with a bit of recursive gibbing in the gib editor thing, making an AAL pilot gib into 3 more AAL pilots on top of each other.

[Muntu]

So the IGF demo is.. Basically the full version of the game?

[spacemarine9]

With a few new features, it is just the full version of B22 for free, yes.

[UberGimp]

What the shit?
I can't believe Datarealms is giving out their game?

Are you guys sure it is legit??

[Z3R052]

It will be outdated when the new build is released. Its also a great way to get CC's name out, give this to all your friends.

[lafe]

What the shit?
I can't believe Datarealms is giving out their game?

do they know other people have access to it?

Why would IGF use a illegal copy of Cortex Command?

[Nintendo-Guy]

What's that IGF version you guys are talking about?

[Shook]

Quote from Data Realms forum:
Hmm, I e-mailed IGF To tell them this, and they replied with:

We're aware of this--Dan/Data has the ability to turn off keys at any time (via his central licensing server), and he approved giving out the judging copy of the game. It's slightly newer than the latest public build and he wanted to give the audience award voters the best available bits.

Thanks for your concern, though!

Eh, just wanted to let the legimate freaks out there know :P
This probably means that the free copy won't last forever, though.

[UberGimp]

Why would IGF use a illegal copy of Cortex Command?

I never saw the link on IGFs homepage. That was why it concerned me. i only saw the direct link (:

[GreyMario]

I would like to inform you that the IGF build is downloadable from the IGF site. Oh yes, there is no demo timer in it. :D


Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[rebirth12345]

Why is this not sticked?

[DarkJee]

Why is this not sticked?

Someone complainted about the fact that there was too much stickies

[Muntu]

Someone complainted about the fact that there was too much stickies

No, it's because this is just a fuckin game.

[Farbror Fazer]

Someone complainted about the fact that there was too much stickies

As muntu said. I asked myself a couple of times why half of the stickies existed

[mister.x]

This forum is goin deep... -_-

I don't really feel appreciated.
I put alot of work into that little comic.. :[

Now, please, get back on topic people.

[IDeA]

Now, please, get back on topic people.

We would but someone unstickied this thread.
So we have to spam to keep this thread on top.

[ShaggE]

No, no you do not. Threads can always be bumped if there's something of substance to be added.

Jesus, you people make me sick sometimes. Honestly.

There, I bumped your precious thread, I believe you're happy now?

[spacemarine9]

We really should get back on topic, before its gets locked as well as de-stickied.
I wonder how long the free subscription will last? Probably when B23 comes out, the free registration will probably end.

[IDeA]

I wonder how long the free subscription will last? Probably when B23 comes out, the free registration will probably end.

There isn't any free registration...

Unless you're talking about the IGF version, that "free registration" will get deactivated as soon as IGF ends.

[Wrestler#1]

Uhm, if you would firewall-block CC, the activation could never be deactivated, amirit?

That is a kinda stupid way of advertising your own game, if you ask me!

[GreyMario]

Simple solution: simply never stay connected to the Internet /and/ play Cortex Command at the same time.

By the way, the Heavy Digger is officially the Best. Weapon. Ever. Aside from the Dummy Grenade Launcher and addon-based weapons.

[Muntu]

Disconnecting sounds a bit too easy. You sure there's no clock inside the actual game, counting towards Apocalypse (locking the IGF demo)?

[GreyMario]

That's what setting the computer clock back is for :P

Btw, anyone got any good addons?

[UberGimp]

Lol. disconnecting wont work.
Even the registered games will have a timer on it if you're not connected to the internet.

Try disconnecting your internet and you will only be able to play the (1(?))5 minutes.

[Cayal]

I don't get what this business is with the "IGF version" of the game. I installed it from that link a page back and it's still an unregistered copy with a timer. :<

[GreyMario]

Reinstall from scratch, then.

[Duhya]

I already paid for my copy so bleh.

[Shook]

So anyways, i updated the Pelian Army now. Added the MARS Autocannon, and removed some of the superfluous blood glows.

http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=11101

[GreyMario]

The Huge Pack O' Mods is interesting.

Oh also apparently the Uber Filler IS really laggy.

[BerkleyJ]

The "free" IGF version is now an unregistered copy, but it is still the newER build 22.5 version of the game with the enhanced AI and objective arrows or whatever. Oh, and you can register with your own key just like any other build.

[GreyMario]

Well that's gay.

Let me guess, it uses the internet to check code validity? If so, I'll just turn off the internets before playing.

:D

[rebirth12345]

Back in B19-B20 you'd have to be on the internet to be registered.

If you wish to register, you must be online.
After registration, it no longer needs to be online.

[UberGimp]

oh alright then.
I jsut remember back with B20 that i was at a LAN party with no internetconnection, and the game had a timer whenever i played it.

This forum was better before all the little annoying things found it... Get 15 years of age limit PLIX

[Shook]

Oh for chrissake GET BACK ON TOPIC. Take your petty squabbles to PMs or just shut up, i'm sick and tired of seeing all this shit in an otherwise good thread.

Also, just to keep on topic myself, here's a very early WIP of the upcoming new look of the Assault Robot...

http://i39.tinypic.com/2cmrxia.png

I'm only about half-way done with it, maybe less. It's only a superficial change though, it's going to remain as tough code-wise as it is right now. Thicker body and limbs does mean that bullets have a harder time blasting all the way through, though. It's also going to be a bit taller than the average soldier, as you can see.

[IDeA]

This forum was better before all the little annoying things found it... Get 15 years of age limit PLIX

Don't judge just by age.
And even if there were a higher age requirement nothing would stop them from entering.

snip

It would be better if you would make the new look/sprite just attachables, the one now looks like a skeleton, just perfect to have some attachables :P.

[spacemarine9]

Maybe have a wire skeleton inside, then surround it with bits of armour.
Well, that might suit a slightly weaker robot.

[shelleyerest2000]

sorry if this has been said but whens build 23 coming out im sick of all the mods that don't work on mac and i heard its getting fixed in 23

[IDeA]

sim sick of all the mods that don't work on mac and i heard its getting fixed in 23

Buy a fucking PC or stop whining.

Yes, it's getting fixed because there are curently some changes between MAC/PC builds, but you can still do some little changes to make PC mods work on a MAC.

Builds 23 will come when it's done.

How do you do that???
In the Cortex Command folder, go into Base.rte, open up settings.ini, and then you can change a whole bunch of settings which you can't change in-game, and you can see your last used key.

[shelleyerest2000]

thank you dude

and will changing the amount of un-held items slow it down?

For example, here is how to add something to an actor's inventory:

Sounds cool dl'ed

[Shook]

-snipfirstmodlol-
The ideas are decent, but the coding's a hell of a mess. You didn't even remove the unneeded content from the folder, resulting in duplicates of normal content. Also, you only made very few sprites yourself, and frankly, the ones you did are almost atrocious. You should spend more than 20 seconds on a sprite. Also, you don't need a gagillion 9's to make a particle deadly. I'm surprised that CC hasn't spazzed on you for putting so many 9's. >.>
Other flaws include:
- Some of the particles have a ridiculously long lifetime. (Especially the map wipe grenade)
- Some grenades are INCREDIBLY laggy.
- Greek "fire" looks like blood, is seriously laggy and has an all-too-high lifetime, AKA the above points. It also leaves behind red residue, which fire really doesn't do.
- Ray grenades leave green sludge behind, and the "rays" are affected by gravity. Gamma radiation, my good sir, is highly energetic, ultra-short wavelength electromagnetic radiation. In other words, dangerous and invisible light. I don't care about the visibility part, but seriously, radiation isn't heavy sludge that crushes people and stays where it lands on the ground. Also, "Newly discovered super-heavy radiation" isn't an excuse for this. The heaviest radiation is Alpha radiation (Helium nucleus), but you're saying that it's Gamma based, and Gamma radiation is, as mentioned before, photons. Photons are massless, and thus must super-heavy photons be massless too.
*COUGH*
Whoops, went all scientific there. >.>
But anyways, you could also call it the Sludge Grenade. I'm not kidding, it would fit nicely.

BUT, before you call me Mr. NegativeRager, i'll have to say that the ordered radiation storm is actually pretty cool, looking away form the above point with radiation, and that it was fairly entertaining to watch the expanding ring of the instagib grenade eat everything. The map wipe was also fairly fun, though i think you should make it more "WAVE OF DEATH LOL" than "HIGHLY DANGEROUS SPLASH OF TAR". In other words, increase the minimum velocity. Also, reduce the lifetime, we don't need it lingering in the level for half a minute.

Anyhoo, whether you should post it or not is up to yourself, but you should remember that people will most likely bash you for submitting your first mod, along with most of the stuff i've already said.

That file didn't work but when i opened it i noticed it said

My game can only go to 9999999999 or something so please fix that in the future.

Maybe i wasn't paying attention but whats the difference between the windows and mac version?
You can play Windows on windows and mac on mac...just kidding!

There are some things in the windows version that aren't on the mac CC, like some line of coding or something along those lines (I think). But it should be fixed in B23, well at least that what people have been saying.

[IDeA]

like some line of coding or something along those lines

Not new coding but, different names.
If there is something new it's on the mac version btw.
And what would be fixed?

[Colescheffler]

The names of things, because some mods and other things don't work on the mac version like they do on the windows version, well that's what they say over on the Data Realms Forums.

added "wunderspray"
when it hardens,
all bullets just bounce off it patheticly,
and come back at double speed!

Coming back at double speed it hardly "pathetic"

Coming back at double speed it hardly "pathetic"
lol, yea

anyway my first mod version 2

[spacemarine9]

Shook, you should add sekret tings to the mod by commenting them out in the .ini file. E.g Lightning M.A.R.S. gun (Saw that suggested on DRL)
Also, now I want a punch weapon for the Assault bot. :p

[lafe]

no feedback... :(

[MrGreed]

I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've seen an infinitely looping bullet...

Indeed, that looks awesome. If you could make some sort of laser shield that rips enemies that come too close apart, that would be even more awesome.

[Shook]

Well, it'd be a stationary field, and obstructing it with terrain would make it act like a rabid worm/jumping bean crossover. :P
I wish i could make it disappear on impact with terrain, but due to the function of it, it's impossible. When the emitting emitter is destroyed, it has already emitted a new particle, making it unstoppable. In other words, it will never disappear unless you restart the game, or the whole thing goes off bounds and ceases to exist.

[spacemarine9]

So, what happens if its inside a box made of Test?

[Treacle109]

Super collision explosion?

[Shook]

Well, if the box is hollow, it'd bounce around like a mad bean, but i'm not sure what would happen if the box is solid. It would probably wriggle out somehow, i guess.

If you had a fight at DR forums, keep it there. Don't bring it over here.

[Shook]

I believe you're incorrect as you misunderstood him. He said that holding printscreen down takes a series of images, which you then can make into a gif yourself with a serparate program. My guess is that you understood it as "Holding down printscreen takes a series of images that Cortex Command makes into a gif".

[gompasta]

So that is all we have to do?
Or are you just translating?

[lafe]

nah,
he brought it from over here to there...

and got me alot of people complaing about bad spelling, even when my gramer and spelling were good in what i typed, he basicly runed my first impressions.

anyway, sorry if i was.

[Colescheffler]

So that is all we have to do?
Or are you just translating?
Nope, you have to get software that takes all the images and compiles them into gif format. I think Virtual Dub will work, that's completely free.

[ShnitzelKiller]

On mac there's a terminal command for it, and it's really efficient at keeping the quality intact.

[zalo]

You use VirtualDub to make the array of images into a .gif, silly.

[GreyMario]

I believe you're incorrect as you misunderstood him. He said that holding printscreen down takes a series of images, which you then can make into a gif yourself with a serparate program. My guess is that you understood it as "Holding down printscreen takes a series of images that Cortex Command makes into a gif".

Nope. Print Screen doesn't work like that.

What Print Screen does is it takes the current screen, and puts a bitmap of it in the clipboard. It's available for pasting in Paint.

However, if you hold Print Screen, nothing special happens. Only one image is taken. And if you take another, it's going to wipe the first one unless you saved it by pasting it in Paint.

[Shook]

You obviously don't know what the heck you're talking about. It does exactly that in Cortex Command; takes a bitmap of the current screen and immediately saves it in the folder. Holding down the printscreen button makes it take an image of every frame while you hold it down, though it does slow down your framerate significantly. Go on, try it. I've done it since B18, or possibly earlier, i know it works.

[ShnitzelKiller]

Wait, in the title post... does it say Build 23?? Is that a typo? Because I can't find any announcements on the site about a new version..

[gompasta]

immediately saves it in the folder.s.


What folder :mad:

[Shook]

Ever bothered to check in the folder where the game is conveniently located as well? =P

@Shnitzel: Oh aye, it's a typo. Currently. ;o

[spacemarine9]

Or is it? :p
Currently its just Build 22.5

[ShnitzelKiller]

Since when? Should I re-download if it is new? i Mean, was it released before or after spring break? (That's when I got it)

Sadly, Cortex Command isn't popular enough (yet ;)) to have mods for it on other sites, usually whatever is on another site is on Data Realms. The only mod I've seen not on DR is a flamethrower mod from B14 on ModDB, which was a really good one for its time.

[zalo]

Nope, that was on Datarealms too.

Also, Teaser:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d144/Zalo10/ScreenDump079.gif
Usually the concentrated targeting beam eliminates most foes,
but the all around attack of stage 2 truly wipes them out.

Edit: For further clarification, there was only one emitter used for the duration of the entire .gif.

[ShnitzelKiller]

Dam, mods look fun. But the one I tried crashed the startup so i won't.

i know what some of the lines do like: rateoffire reloadtime fullauto spread and stuff.. :D

just one question..

AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel

i assume MOpixel is moveable object? so it can hit things?

but there allot of those.. is it when it hits certain materials? if it is.. how does it work? ^^ confused here

an MOpixel is a partical like a bullet, or a lazer beam, its used for most guns.

an AEmitter is a type of spawining object (emmetter)

an MOSrotating is what you want to make a gib

It's not membership, it's a one time payment.

Yeah, it's online.

Hay guise, you remember that Apocalypse Cannon i was talking about last year? No?
...
I've started work on it.

http://i44.tinypic.com/28uiudz.jpg

Basically, it's a GIANORMOUS cannon sticking down from above, almost literally raining hell on the ground below, before ending in a final blast of apocalyptic proportions.
But before that blast, there's going to be numerous phases of increasing lethality. Some of them i've planned are:
- A rain of fire, starting light and ending heavy. Complete with an initial wave of fire.
- A hailstorm of bullets/lasers.
- A hailstorm of explosive shells.
- Dozens of explosive fireballs.
- Several HUGE bombs/shells, all capable of wiping half the level.
- A "Sun gun", basically a massive, glowing sphere of energy that will hang around and kill stuff, before ending in a massive supernova.
- The final phase, which is a huge beam of energy that stops on a certain spot in the air. This spot is continually charged by large pulses of energy, and once critical mass is achieved, a blinding glow/explosion will blind the user, while the entire map is wiped clean of everything. When the glow subsides, there will be nothing but glowing residue hanging in the air left. And if your brain wasn't hidden above the level, you're dead.

I'm still working on the first one. >.>

[rebirth12345]

Are us betatesters still intact?

Rainin' fireballs. Seriously laggy, though. Will have to fix...

if you want too de_lag it without losing any of the epicness,
heres a trick that i learned;
slow down the projectiles so that they dont carve the terrain as quick,
allowing more particles,less lag,
and equil destruction

[Shook]

The thing is that the fireballs don't even scratch the terrain. It's due to the sheer number of particles that it lags.
I have made it less laggy, but it's still a notable slowdown. Not as bad as one might expect, though.

Right now i'm working on making the sun go boom, which has taken a good while by now. >.>

@spacemarine9: Oh hell, 4's such an odd number, so i might as well make it 5. =P

Wow Shook, that was amazing. When the first stage was going on for like...30 seconds I was wondering if that was it, but then it started changing and I was very entertained, wiped out all of the AAL guys who were trying to get to my brain. I didn't really see anything wrong with it, but (if you aren't going to do this already) you should make the cannon nuclearly (if that's a word) explode and cause shrapnel to fly everywhere! That would be a true apocalyptic ending ;)

[Shook]

there was a very (very) small amount of lag during the sun for me, but not enough to to slow it down signefigently

and make a bazzoka that fires those rockets!
