You have unzipped it right?

Fixed. As soon as Uru gets on, the next release will have those fixed.

Actually, one thing no one has noticed, is that all of these are using AW1 formulae...

Well, you might want to fix that, unless AW1 Mode is going to be the main mode.

Alpha10 is ready:
Sources:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
Executable JAR:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
Screenshot (at 2x scale, this was not altered)

I upgraded the graphics engine, it now supports virtually everything we need
MG fixed the bugs you guys were complaining about earlier

New Features:
menu control improved
animation and transparency
Mechs
screen scaling (choose Options in the menu to make the screen larger): currently, the window doesn't resize automatically, so you'll have to do that manually

Woah! Nice work The attack tiles move a lot faster than they did when I was making them, I'll slow them down a bit.

GJ!

EDIT:


If it supports animations now, here are the animated cities:



Moggymog has a downloadable pack of all the animated units aswell, but I don't know the link.

I'll put those in.
I could put in those animated units too, if I had them.

ok, do i drag the file onto the jre or the jdk, or neither? that help guide isn't helping me

...nice work coming along. o.o

If you really want to piss RWD off, you should make Spann Island. XD That's the first map he made when showing off a "sliver" of CW beta.

Playable Spann Island > RWD's Spann Island.

By the way, I saw those little HP values you have there and uhh...I ripped some from the game so it looks a little more authentic now. :>



...I was going to try to get the Capture/Fire/End things but uh... >_> For some reason I suck at getting them today.

Here's what I do. Make a new folder somewhere.
Take one of the downloads, extract into the folder.
Take the other, extract into same folder.
Click on the executable jar file.

It works for me.

Oh, nice work! This is really awesome.

yay!!!! it works! i thought it was broken (i was getting the image, but i didn't think it was moveable), then i remembered it was wasd keys. great job!

Well, It's starting to work for me.
I'm not getting much though >_>..

i did what tassadar said to do. new folder + 2 AW alpha10 files +clicky executable jar+ wasd keys for movement+ enter for a button+ m for menu

Uhm..
How do I place units and terrain?

Ya don't

Ok..So the thing finally starts to work, and there's no terrain..Great..

it's not a mapmaker. you move the cursor with the wasd keys and select them with enter

If there are no units or terrain, you probably didn't extract a file or two. Look at Urusan's screeny. There should be that many units, with the map lookin the same way.

hey, how come the hqs are in the file but not in the actual game?

there's a lot of stuff in the file that isn't in the game yet, like Andy. Stuff for future releases I guess

I moved all the stuff from the first thing into the one that had the Custom Wars file in it. It's not working other then the menu appearing and the red box thing -_-.

ok. just makin sure i didn't do anything wrong.

edit: should this not go in the testing section?

Sure, I'll make a playable Spann Island my objective. When we get there, CW will be officially Alpha (we're pre-Alpha right now).

Yeah, I put the HQs in there, but I haven't implemented them yet. Actually, I was testing if they would display properly (they do).

hooray! will this spann island have the BAs and such and COs or just an AWBW style thing? either way i can't wait

BAs?

battle animations

1. Animations need to stop taking sugar pills
2. I cant wait untill keys are remappable.

not like the wasd? i'll probably just change enter to ctrl

If you like, and if urusan's willing, infantry and artillery animations can be added, but it will probably complicate matters for pre alphas. It'll probably be best to leave the BAs until the 'Alpha' is produced... and when I've finished all of the land animations.

makes sense. but should this be moved to testing?

I'm gonna wait until you can play a game before I start adding bells and whistles like Battle Animations. As soon as I finish writing the basic graphics code (palette modification is proving difficult), I'll work on Maps, Bases, Money, COs, and adding in the content.

I think urusan's our new head programmer.

I think Retsej is busy with the AI

A playable Spann Island would be great

Will alpha be a clickable app?

Or will I be dealing w/ java jargon?

...It's already a clickable app, just download the .jar.

gotcha...

I haven't downloaded any of the updates

Wow this is looking good. Much better than that Fat man RWD could do.

*pokes the fat man*

Another minor release...color modification has proven very difficult...
Alpha10.25
Sources:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
JAR:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
New Stuff:
animated cities
units darken when inactive
screen resizes when scaled

In order to make the units darken, I had to make a .png mask for each unit. I might be able to remove this requirement if I get color modification working, but until then I'll need a mask for every unit (an animated mask if the unit is animated).

Nice. Things seem to be rolling along smoothly.

Alpha 11:
Sources:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
JAR:[NO LONGER AVAILABLE]
Screenshot:

HQs and Bases
Unit Construction
lots of small things

I added funds/income, but you can't see it unless you use Intel, which displays to the text prompt

You can't build anything besides Infantry, Mechs, and Artillery, even though other items are in the menu.

Also, I wrote down a list of all the indexes I'm using (MASTER INDEX LIST.txt in the sources).
