pretty offtopic where's baggie?

Pageclaim!

Very confused at the last 5 posts of conversation !

yay:P I just started a new page on the biggest thread ever:P

How's goin, baggers?

The biggest thread ever was post about the poster above you, I believe, at over two hundred pages. I'm not sure if PATPAY counts, though.

Not bad mate, I'm seeing alot of mates to get my goodbyes in. 5 days to go including today !

To baggers:

I'll try to get the files sent when I can get them somewhere with a net connection.

*running around with a floppy disk*

Thats the plan.

Where's the new thread? Or is it not up yet.

Not up yet mate, sorry !
I'm getting in contact with all the old artists, finding new ones, writing tutorials, sorting out my own webpage, fixing these (-) computers here in uganda that keep bloody breaking !.... and plotting various other little schemey type things !... You can expect me to start a new thread within the month. I'm just waiting for my graphics card to arrive so i can fix the pressing bugs.
Glad to know your still checking this out occasionally !

It's going well ...Ive got the model !
I havnt actually had a chance to load the model up properly yet as i don't have a graphics card....That is currently winding its way through the postal system so I hope it will be ariving within the next few weeks.
Ive had some very possitive replies from some of the artists, some are currently busy with their own real world obligations but most are still interested in helping if they have the chance. Only time will tell in that department.
So yeah the plan is going !

-DOUBLE POST-

Double post. ATTACK OF THE TWIN MESSAGES!
Would make a good movie.

Or not. But models? Good! Are they animated yet?

Nah not yet, I now have the untextured Goon and Turtle models, the old crappy dragonfly model I made, Hare's Jazz model...and a wide assortment of very low poly castle related models (they were made by me so they are VERY Basic...but will be fine for the first test level).

What's with the updator? I cant update!

Well thats because there are no updates.
The whole system is being re-made...revamped and made generally much more dynamic.
So until I officialy re-emerge there will be no updates. Supprised you didnt notice before...the update system has been off for months !

The new system is all run from a program called JazzCore....its a kind of 'Steam' for Jazz. It detects updates, lets you download mods, connect to online servers etc.
Basically brings all the previously seperate pieces of Jazz toether and means you only have to go to one place to run all of them.
For those who have dial up and are worried that you will need to log into JazzCore to play single player, fret not...You only have to register a username for the online gaming !

I still have to iron out some bugs that have been eluding me and generaly spruce things up....My favourite feature is that this will be the last time you have to download the updator...as it will now update itself !

Well back to the grindstone I guess !

I actually noticed it a few months back, but I said it now. Ill try to JazzCore my updates then:P

Hi there people,
Well it has been an interesting time...I have been informed by my hosting provider that the service will be ending in a month so I had better relocate.
Luckily our old friend Jonny has stepped in to rescue us once again ! He's buying a server shortly and has offered me the service free of charge !

So no worries there !
Also I thought for those who havnt seen it. A screenshot of JazzCore's main screen


Now the next bit i'm very hestiatant to post as I know I'm no good at modeling....But what the hell I was bored and needed to do something 3D and the only thing currently working in 3D is Milkshape. So enough stalling...here is a little shot of a WIP level !
Please dont punish me !

Back again soon !

Good work on JazzCore!

I wonder how it is going with this fantastic project! Did it die? or only this thread? well, revived! (and thats better, with such a great project)

Still alive..and always ready to post about the place...Keep checking my site...I update nearly every day saying what ive been upto. Today I have been getting newton (the new physics engine) setup. Had some odd bugs but all is ok...Gravity, full collision and such are working fine !
Next is to add some real control and a few crates to push around.

Anyhoo thanks for stopping by glad to know you guys still are support, Means a ton to me I can promise that !
Gdnight from Uganda folks !

p.s. Oh yeah as the sig is broken see the link below for the Jazz site.
Jazz3D Homepage

Ive seen some guys using jazzcore, but clicking the jazzcore link on your site doesnt have any results! may I have a direct download link?

Oh boy....I think we have been through this before...
It isnt ready....when it is it won't say coming soon !
It'll be after christmas some time...hopefully late feb...hard to tell though all depends on How many classes I'm running and thus how much free time I have..remember I also have to plan lessons mark any homework etc etc...all usual teacher stuff. Plus actually have some free time for me and friends aswell !

Sorry I cant be any faster, I've been trying hard since I got the card. Wish they were visualy impressive though !

woops my bad, its back online now :P

As i cant post news properly at the sec I'm just going to post it here:

Going well today, was chilling at the weekend but got the Physics engine well underway. Jazz is in the level, controlable, jumping and such...got to add the special moves and fine tune some of the speeds and jumping heights but that wont take too long.
Today Ive mainly been converting all the old font into bitmaps I can use for the game. Ive also got a cool spinning background similar to that of the OEM version working in a slightly more 3D way...just got to get the text in properly as current it's just grey where the words should be.
Then for a little funky coding to make the letters move when I'm selecting them and I'll be ready to pop it into the main source files.
Will keep ya posted people.
Bye

Bye

this one is not there anymore, just put it on your FTP :P

*Waves to Grytolle*

@All:
God I love this physics engine, menu is in the game now in its very early form, got all the numbers and Capital letters full ripped now...still need to set their alpha channels though.
Also have setup the controls so their customisation will be really easy for me to code.
And finally the ground work for the special moves is done, the game is recognising the keys and timing correctly...ahh I love days like today !
Seeya People !

EDIT:
Sorry Piet did'ne see ye there. Thanks a million man !

Yay! \o/

so, when get we to see it? (video/demo/fully playable version/system test with the new engine (hope it works)/whatever)

dude, at least more model screenshots... and please make some demo (at least an alpha), please!

There have been plenty of demos. Just go to the websites and actually look.

Yeah! ^^
*waves back at waver*

It'll be after new year, thing is if I showed what I have now i'd get comments that Ive taken step backwards since the last demo...No enemies, no guns...Wouldnt exactly be good for public relations hehe !
The reason for these step back was to put in the new physics engine which is making life laughably easy and allowing me to do some (-) cool stuff.

Tell ya what, if i get some time in the next few days I'll take a quick vid of Jazz jumping about and knocking some primitives (Spheres, Boxes and the like) around. That should wet your whistle....The hardest bit will be uploading the video though as out here in uganda the connection is veeeery slow !

Anyhoo folks, Be back soon

Kay, cya^^

Or... Perhaps an alternative would be to record an ingame demo, then just send the program of Jazz running through the primitives. No worries about compression ruining the video quality .

Only drawback is you gotta program the thing to record the player's movements and replay them. Then you also got to set up the program so it runs only in demo mode. On the positive side, it might be a smaller file size than a video.

Well I am actually going to send you guys a pre-alpha demo....My ftp is blocked currently so I'm just emailing Piet to see if he will host it.
Will keep ye posted

Well have heard no reply as of yet. And Im off on holiday in the morning...I'll post again on the 15th or therabouts as I'll be breifly back in Kisiizi.
Hokay folks, thanks for hanging around...see you in the new year.
Have a Very Merry Christmas a great new year
Enjoy !
Chris
