Plan for Josh "The_Force" Moore

Illumina(illumina-game.com) has scraped our old source, and started fresh with Torque 1.3. The old codebase was way too unstable to even try to use. We had horrible crashes from trying to fire a gun, and from just playing online. The switch to 1.3 is the best thing to happen for us since MGM shut down the Stargate game.

The new build already has a ton of features that the old one didn't even come close to. First of all, I finaly got around to coding the visual waypoints and objectives(www.illumina-game.com/index.php/mod/gallery/file/display/image/97?asc=&sort=i.ad...). I also modded Ben's commander map to render team waypoints, objectives, team players, and team vehicles. I still haven't figured out how to get world coordinates from screen coords. Our interior maker/mapper, TribalMa5ter, has been whipping out some sweet .dts models for the new build. Hes made an awsome commander station, generators, health terminals, and doors(the collision mesh moves).

We also have a working Conquest gametype for starters(Team Death Match is next). Bases have different capture times and point values. Capturing an objective doesn't give you a chunk of points; Illumina uses a point tug-of-war like system. The actual team scores are calculated via a ticket counter loop every 5 seconds. If your team's total captured objective score divided by the number of captured objectives is more than the other team, your team will gain points, and the other will loose the same amount.

Thats about it for now, check out our site and register on the forums if your interested in Illumina. The Beta will be out soon, but we'll post a DSOTD when it is.

By the way, I whipped together a little teaser for your enjoyment.

Edit: I had to make an interact key to operate doors and stations. I noticed that the interact key resource isn't in the database anymore(I couldn't find it), does anyone want me to make my version into a resource?
