Yeah, it's crashing a lot at the moment as a result of two things. One is a rather large memory leak that I just can't seem to track down. It seems to be the bigger problem at the moment, causing lags, slowdowns and ultimately, crashes. The other, smaller problem is a vectoring issue. I think it's caused when a Marine who has been killed and has JUST been removed from the game, tries to look around and see enemies anyway. Because his line of sight vector can't be calculated (he's off the playing area), the game crashes. Trying to fix that, too.
These are the only two crash-bugs I've been made aware of. Has anybody crashed out for some other reason (with or without an error message)?
any clue of when we'll be able to command groups of Marines at one time with the click and drag select as in most RTS games? This single marine control at a time crap is quite annoying <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Eh.. I'm going to download this and see if its within my abilities to contribute artwork for this. Interesting concept.
Edit: Got the files. If you could give me an indication of the art style you want, I could take a swing at it and see how it goes.
Do you want the perspective to be top-down or isometric-ish (think SNES RPG's).
Old-school <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721064/' target='_blank'>sprite</a> <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721123/' target='_blank'>style</a>, or something more realistic in which case renders may suffice.
Also, this is not a commitment.. just seeing if I can do it.
