too right :-P hehe

sounds good tho, i dont see why the 2D stuff shouldnt work for this project seeing as abes oddysee is a 2d game and even though this ones 3D, all the paths and puzzles still work in the same way. the only main difference is that the doors actually connect together now.

amazon sent me a link to a c++ book the other week, i was gunna forward it to u but i cant find the email anymore (i may have deleted it)

Oops, better remove that then.

i meant the email sent by amazon not ur email addreess lol

OK, I've found a focken enormous C++ engine text, about 500 pages, covering everything from math to advanced logarithms. Gonna look at the best price and get it. You best get cracking boyo, I'll be catchin' you up soon enough! =D

EDIT: Although looking through some of it on Amazon...I hope a B in GCSE maths is good enough to cover this advanced maths! x_x

EDIT 2: Better keep looking actually, that's a massive waste of cash otherwise, no way I can understand advanced vectors and every amateur programmer has reviewed the book as impossible to understand due to the technical capabilities required. Still looking.

STM, i did maths at A Level, I covered vectors, so, if you want, I could try teaching you some stuff. I'd also be interested in learning alongside you about C++ and engines etc.

Well hey there's no harm in it I suppose, if you're willing to take the time. It's not just vectors though, it's those funny E's that look like Z's and massively advanced algebra. I can help you by directing you to C++ books covering core functionality, advanced functionality and the game programming specific functionality as well if you want.

i remember those E things. They just stand for 'sum of'. I'll have to get my old notes out and have a look :p just to double check.

f you post me a link to the sort of algebra you're faced with, I can know whether or not I can help you. ;)

EDIT: I think what you should do is meet me on an irc channel somewhere, and I'll try to actively teach you. I need to know how much you know, and what areas you need to be introduced to.

I'll try and compile some examples of what I might have to learn and get back to you in a PM as soon as possible, I'm very busy settling in to college at the moment and I'm trying really hard to make them let me take the subjects I want.

I'm studying maths at university so I should be able to help ;) PM me if need be.

(The E things are capital sigmas and is indeed the summation symbol)

Hey, I hope your project is still going well.

I just came here to say if to any of you all this sounds like an oddworld soundtrack used when like Abe is escaping or like some place where it is highly secured. To me it has an Oddworld mood and I like it.

Check it out:

Dude. That sounds like something that would go in Munch, if it was to ever be done properly. Props for the song, I like it!

i think its a mix of the later stages of Exoddus, munch and "Soviet Connection" from gta4

A little bit too much electronic and cyberpunkish but i agree that some of parts could fit oddworld. Maybe some type of power plant... i don't know

hey guys,

i havnt uploaded any new vids for this project in a ges now, just wanna let everyone know that im still working on it. building up the scenes is taking longer than i expected (all the rupturefarms assets are 100% complete though). couple of weeks ago i decided to add the characters into my vids to show off what they will look like and so that the enviroments arent just empty barron places. ive attached a shot of Abe and a Slig just to let you all see them, i have used the original munch's oddysee textures for now (hence why abe has his chest tattoo) but i'll eventually make my own. Ive made the models myself though.

p.s

thanks to parappa for the textures

Slig is looking pretty nice considering it's using MO textures.

Actually, I didn't ever think much of the MO models, but they look pretty good come to think of it.

Some of the models from MO look awesome such as the Slig and Scrab, I always found the Mudokon models not quite right...

Yeah... u're right :D

No problem =) anyway good job! i can't wait to see more... ^^ in my opinion the MO Mudokons are pretty "weird"...u should take a look to AO models or.... similar to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkCiDPrssNI =)

Parappa, don't double post. use the edit button if you got something else to say.

Also, Nowtun...I haven't done any C++ work for weeks O_O I've been swamped with A levels, really sorry man.

Sorry ;)

Hy guys, thought it was time to bump up my thread again hehe

here is the link of my latest vid of my remake. Tis time the is the final deffinitive version of Zulag 1 (yes I know Ive said that before but this time I mean it)

http://youtu.be/fxr1EXd6-l8

oh and some screenshots of the transit system that Ive also added

thanks

nOWtun

It's worth embedding your vids. :D


(For those watching:
Don't forget to + rep the post above this, don't accidentally +rep mine!!)

That's looking damned impressive for a fan project, Nowtun - It definitely has come a long way since you started. I think you've done a very good job in capturing the vastness and essence of RF, many of the traps and set pieces look great, especially the meat saws and the electric barriers - I can see it all working really well.

Guess my only criticisms are that some of the movements of the characters seem a little slow, and maybe the red fog is a little too dark (see the brighter YouTube video preview above, that looks a little better IMO). But other than that, it's really awesome. :)

+ Rep for you.

hey thanks man :-D

yeah the fog does look a bit dark now that ive uploaded it, seemed a bit lighter on my other pc.

and if you mean the mudokons scrubbing the floor, i did them quickly just so that i had some charaters in the scenes. i may revise them for the next set of zulags hehe.

thanks again for the rep :-)

That looks amazing!

I assume though that you will be placing invisible walls alongside the paths though, otherwise it will be a very frustrating game I think considering how easy it would be to accidentally fall off.

Nicely done !! ;)

thanks :-)

yeah there'll be invisible barriers in place, i toyed with the idea of not having them at first but running around the pillars may become a pain in the arse after plumeting off the edge god knows how many times hehe. abe will run slightly slower than he did in munch's oddysee though, more of the pace he had in his own games.

Will there be a run button then or will Abe just run anyway?

I'm a bit confused.

the control scheme will be the sam as the original abe's oddysee with buttons for run and sneak

As always, gwneud yn dda. ;D

ooooo da iawn scrabtrapman, learning welsh now i see hehe

Well you know me and my multitude of languages. ;) Unlike all the others though, my extent lies at about ten phrases of each...include

XD

Pwy wyt ti?

Owain ydw i, ble wyt ti o?

you mean google translate? lol :-p

Hey now, Google translate is a totally legit way to be multilingual. Yeah. I hope that came across as sarcastic.

I wish I had seen this thread sooner! Your progress is astounding, and I honestly didn't think it were possible to recreate AO (or AE for that matter) in a 3d environment without it taking away a lot of the... "feel", or being good in general. I look forward to seeing more. :)

Ni allaf siarad Cymraeg. Does gen i ddim syniad beth yr wyf newydd ysgrifennu.

Sepo tekgd Varrok! STM hertt bajo twibaw ol llade flak JennyGenesis.. -_-

thanks, its taken me a while to get it all working as i wanted it to. more vides coming soon.

you must of had some idea lol

i have no idea what this says ol, neither google nore bing know either lol.
