Illumina: Development continues...

I'm not one for posting .plans, as the time could be better used coding, but today I thought I'd let you all know what I've been doing lately.

Around January of this year, the Illumina team(and it's overlord masters) decided that we'd move to glorious TGE 1.4. To date, we(I) have totaly rewritten most core systems that make up the game:
-A brand-new Game Type system with support for multiple rounds each map and a host-selected mission cycle list. Currently, we have completed the Team Deatchmatch game type and are working on our flagship Conquest game mode.
-Player->Vehicle mounting and seat changing systems(works with vehicle mounted turrets, too).
-Weapon damage system; fixed up the stock scripted damage to strictly use Clients as damage sources(no more un-registered kills), and added Team Damage support.
-Team system based on Xavier Amado's excellent resource.

Of course we can't rewrite everything, so we've ported alot of our previous stuff:
-Custom Player code with sprint, crouch, dynamic movement speed(not hooked up in script yet), server controlled recoil(thanks Josef Jahn!), and toggleable render first person.
-Custom weapon systems; iron sights/scopes, reloading, and (not-totaly-working-right)melee.
-Vehicles systems(too much stuff to list here).
-Useable/chargable items scripts(charge up grenade throws). We currently have: HE grenades, smoke grenades, flashbangs, and deployable C4 with remote detonation.

I think that pretty much sums it all up pretty nicely. It may not sound like much, but there's actualy alot of code that goes into all of that. I'm very pround of the Game Type system as it can support a wide range of game types already and (most importantly) multiple rounds per map!

I like to keep these posts short and to the point(as much as possible), so this is all I'm going to write for now. I'll leave you guys with some (fullscreen) shots of a new map our mappers are working on dubbed "Aftermath".
