    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    I'm seeing some serious radar speed improvements now... :) At the center of is all I get 27 to 33 fps, even one backed out. Way better, but when I select or move to another star, it freezes up for about a second. Ok, here: Artifact is in Sector 6 Get Futurist Artifact Go to Sector 8 Use...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Hmm, that's odd. I won, but it didn't count down, instead the chat said: QUOTE Salak has won. Connecting to the server... It was around 3:05am PST. Edit: I was just ruminating about the math, thinking that there are around 4 million (4,782,969) sectors. What kind of fractions (artifact...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    It said "you found the "Babababa Bug, try to reproduce what you just did." All I did was press "*" before it connected to the server, then pressed "6" a bunch of times quickly. I just did it like 5 times in a row now, it only works on the Network Game. I wonder if that helped at all. Edit...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Well, can't play much today (Monopoly at a friends house) Just one quick thing, are there any specific bugs I can look for and try to duplicate to help you out? I will probably have more time later today.

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Well, not to be annoying. But I got another idea. Of course what you already have on your plate for the next release looks really good, and I don't want to delay that progress at all... Before you can get clues from a certain race, you have to go to that race's home-world and sign up...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    I was on the network game, and didn't know about the Shift-B anyway. I don't like cheating, it makes me dumber. Oh, ok. But that scan code is the major hangup. Actually, when you pan a sector, there is a little lag before you can select anything on the new screen, I don't think its a problem...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    The intermediate release? Yes, very. Sadly I can't spend much time on it right now. With glee. Just not really right now... Ok, maybe a peek... Hmm, the cheats are not working, oh well... anyway, here are a few logs: At 525-3255: CODE Begining Loop 0 Basic Surfaces 1 Galaxy Surface 1...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    True, very true. But for a $$$ artifact, its not refined enough for my taste. Its way too random to be consistently trustworthy. But if you got a few, its a fun lottery to try. From a math standpoint, the I-$$ cuts the possible zone to 1/4, the I-$$$ to 1/8, and the F-$$$ to 1/9th...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Ok, I got a suggestion, with the usually use-what-you-like-and-leave-what-you-don't-like disclaimer. Futurists; Their progress in future technology has left them in want of "humanity" (using the term loosely here, as its presently unconfirmed) and they are searching for "fun" things they, as a...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    I actually found a bug: If you start on an alien planet, and before you zoom in, then try to buy fuel (pressing the fuel up button a few times very quickly; it freezes solid. I use the Windows XP version (It was 12:25 am PST, I didn't see my name) (I tried again (after multiple relogins), and...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Ok. Everyone can feel free to rip off any idea I had, if you make it better, we all benefit. 1.4 ghz Pentium 4, 200 MFLOPS, 90 MIPS (really really bad) 384MB ram, RDRAM (rambus), 400mhz GeForce4 Ti 4200, 64 MB ram, AGP 4X, GPU Clock 250 mhz, Memory 513 mhz Windows XP

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    right, well then. ops. i wasted time putting this together then... if you don't like it, oh well, i like the spinning grid thingy though (used c++ opengl for that)

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Ok, so I think Ill give my opinion. Of course disregard if its lame... 1) Yes it does, but then again, without the "grind" at the beginning, I'd feel that I didn't "earn" any of the upgrades at all. 2) True, very true. That's why I seldom go past level 8 or 9 on speed. But I think we do...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Graphic idea for: Finding Artifact Animation Some kind of cool bluish grid on a sphere and a few "dots" (search parties) that each have a scan field. The last artifact would simply be a longer more detailed one (more search parties and more complex grid). (Crude sketch, just to get the idea...

    Beta Galactic Artifact - Release B

    Ok. A few things. 1: The frame-rate drops to one third as high when my whole screen is red. Could you make a "large map red-zone toggle" key or something like that? 2: Could only the person who got the artifact be reset, and everyone else just gets the artifact location re-randomized? 3...

    Galactic Artifact - Pre-alpha Binary For Windows/linux

    Hmm. The speed in the game could easily be measured in light-years a second (roughly 5.8 Trillion miles per second). So no, a slingshot could never let you reach that speed. Oh yeah, I forgot, you mentioned something to that effect earlier. So I'm sorry for the diversion. :ph34r:

    Typos on the page: http://games.randomlynx.net/GalacticArtifact/instructions/ "...if there are to industrialist settlements..." should be: "...if there are two industrialist settlements..." "...when you soom in on a..." should be: "...when you zoom in on a..." Oh, and I was just thinking...

    Galactic Artifact - Pre-alpha Binary For Windows/linux

    Sry, didn't want to step on any ones toes. I didn't even know about that older thread. SWEET! You mean like this?: Hmm. You are pretty busy on this. Will you use a different domain name for the game site? (http://randomlynx.net/temp/) ~ or ~...
