Nothing goes to plan...

I planned to have a lot of things done by this month (finish the starter.fps and starter.racing ports, have some sort of playable demo of my game etc etc) but unfortunately none of that has gone to plan due to my day job...

The good news is, I''ve spent a bit of time working on the starter.fps port and I've released a 1.3 version, which you can find details about "here" or on the tsedemo blog at tsedemo.blogspot.com/ :)

Change Log:
Got starter.fps port working with the latest version of TSE
Removed all the bump maps on the stronghold mission (they didn't look too good, I''ll redo them when I have time)
Sorted out the texture problem on the platform models in the "Simple Testbed" mission
Fixed the options screen (hasn't had much testing so...)
Added an AI player to the "Simple Testbed" mission
Fixed "Simple Testbed" mission platform texture problem
Added water cubemap details
And a bunch of other stuff...

Once I''ve got some more time, I'll look at uploading the latest version with an exe for non TSE owners and also upload the files to mirror locations.


I''m still amazed at the amount of downloads the ports have had, and numbers keep going up!
Download stats:
Starter.Fps port 1.3: 830
Starter.Fps port 1.3 demo: 728
Starter.Racing port: 329
(Not bad for someone that hasn''t got much coding experience :p )

Thanks to everyone thats downloaded the packs... it's great to be able to give something back to the community.


Any comments or suggestions are welcome...

Hey Joseph,

Cool stuff, it's cool to the racing demo being ported too. I dig the shot of the racing demo using Atlas. :)

Joseph,

I'm looking forward to the download. I've been very impressed so far. In fact, your starter.fps port is what convinced me to get a TSE license -- now I'm hooked. Very cool stuff.

Thanks,

Aaron E.

Thanks Anton... let me know if you find any bugs or if you have any suggestions.

Aaron, great to hear it got you to buy TSE, it's a sweet engine... good luck! (GG needs an affiliate program :p )

You are a life saver for us non-programmers trying to delve into TSE. Your port makes all the difference for me.

Thanks Randy.

Alan, glad it's helping you out...


I just hope I can get the final version done soon....
