So I figured if anyone would be interested in seeing progress, I am going to update this post with things I have done in the 'game' up to a certain point where I get bored of reviving an old thread.



Sept. 8: WOOHOO got a 3D camera working, it zooms in and out and circles around the player. *Grin*



Original Post:
So, following Twilight Suzuka's tips several, several months back. I had knuckled down at C++ eventually.

Using an open source 3D rendering software I have managed to make this.

buahahaha. Fun... Hope to make a full on game out of this.

Don't ask any questions. ;)

Wow, nice... How long did it take you to achieve that? O_o

Nice. I truly envy you. When I have the time, I'll go for something like this myself.

Its actually REALLY simple. Its like scripting a mod in CS, but in pure C++. Just download the Irrlicht SDK, and follow some of the tutorials. Make sure you know at least the basics of C++ and pointers.

vvg: took me around a week to learn (a week consists of an hour a day for me) blender, and then on weekends I was playing around with irrlicht, but all-in-all for that simple plane and movement takes less then an hour to set up in a single cpp file.

heres some other engines if any of you guys are interested
http://www.CrystalSpace3D.org (physics engine, and 3d renderer)
http://www.Ogre3d.org (3d renderer)
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net (3d renderer)

for physics along with ogre or irrlicht, you will have to use something like ODE, Newton Game Physics, and there are a few others. ODE is written in C though so GL with that one haha.

Anyways, its very similiar to scripting plugins for Half Life. You get an SDK with tons of commands you use to create cameras, movement, planes, nodes (similiar to the idea of entities), etc.

ok now i like that xD, but hmm i don't think it would be a good idea, for people who want to mess around with the game like developers like how HL use's AMXx. unless if u have the time to make a whole new amxxx like. but like i said first it would be better if you some how use the hl1\hl2 engine but just with a whole new ideas =p kthxbai

[TheNewt]

Lol, well HL2 is based upon Havok 4, so its the same idea there. Only this more from scratch

NO IT ISN'T

FUCKING IDIOT IT IS AFTER HAVOK 2. THAT IS WHY WE DON'T HAVE GOOD RAGDOLLS OR LIVING RAGDOLLS

*HITS MYSTIC WITH NEWSPAPER* THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!



HOLY SHIT CAPSLOCK NO FUCKING WAY AM I RETYPING THIS DEAL WITH IT
