Awesome, you can even shoot your own missiles using the lazer ! :) Yep. The system is quite complex. You can also hit the space debris after an explosion! The good thing is that nearly everything (the bulk of the game, I mean) is on the table. I have "reverse-engineered" the elite for Gam...

Greetings everyone. Had no time to work on this until today, so little advances. In fact my free time is nearly zero these days, and it won't get better anytime soon. Anyway I cleaned up some stuff and added ship's energy into account, so now you need to hit an enemy several times before it blows up...

Dumb question: You mean you copy DEFG, E being inactive, right? Then I'd vote for paste ABCD, B being inactive. In other words, paste exactly what you copied. Well not exactly, Because E is rested it should ideally not be navigatable, so moving right from D will land cursor in F. Pasting the exact ...

I recently started using tap2dsk which is very cool and saves alot of work. However does anyone know if there is an automated way i can stop tap2dsk naming the file noname000 but the parsed tape filename? Currently i use it when i convert AYT music held in a Tape file to a disk file but it always s...

Dbug wrote:What is "scooping" ?

If the ship is equipped with the scoops it can gather materials, rocks and other cargo that is floating in space (maybe after destroying another ship) and add it to its cargo.

Don't know if it is an usual term, but IIRC it is how it is named in Elite.

Cheers.

Greetings again. Had a hard time at work, so little time for Oricing; and the situation is about to get worse :( Anyway I have made some small progress and tweak a couple of things: First, a small addition that was needed, so now when a ship explodes, docks or enters hyperspace (or simply disappears...

Considering the overwhelming majority of people wanting a Subversion repository, I can say that it will soon be available. Sorry for my lack of response, Dbug. I am currently under a bit of stress at work and have little time for anything else :cry: In addition I have little experience with any of ...

I have moved the vortex stuff to the Vortex Player forum which was an old 2007 thread here.. http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?t=308 One final note on the Vortex stuff.. The rest is similar, so that the saved data seems equal to what you see on the screen: You seem to be making much more...

For example i could conceivably import Vortex tunes into AYT but importing AYT tunes into Vortex would be impossible for some stuff like more than 3 tracks :P That would be indeed a very nice idea! This way people could import their tunes or the basics for a tune and then use AYT for testing/tunnin...

Sorry to be so dumb :roll: - Which input ? the vortex sample or the "screenshot" ? - I even wonder if it is possible to take the input file and create directly the Oric exe ! Sorry for not being clear (as usual). I mean taking the "saved as text" file that the Vortex Tracker out...

But i definately agree that having a Vortex Player would be invaluable on the Oric. I know they got it working on the CPC. Although Z80, the CPC does run at 1Mhz like the Oric. I was thinking... well maybe something totally stupid (forgive my lack of knowledge about this topic). The Vortex Tracker ...

Yup, watched the mapfile, quite a lot of stuff, some can hardly be reduced I guess, like the 4512 bytes of various tables (starting in $600). Yep. Lots of math tables there, from multiplication to rotation, including proyection, sin&cos,... A couple of them (log, exp and negexp) are used in the...

Don't want to get too off topic, so I'll start saying I have been playing with AYT over 10 minutes and it is VERY NICE indeed. Seems quite easy to use, such as AT was. I only hope this time it is finished and we could get the compiler working so we can use it in our Elite Clone. Talking about this i...

Looks nice :) About the size, would be nice if you could send me the memory map generated by osdk_showmap.bat Anyone else had a look? Filled polygons are clearly faster and look nicer when ships are closer (even if patterns should be chosen more adequately than just random :) ), but stars and other...

Greetings... Well some progress... not too much, as I have been busy, but at least some. I was quite reluctant to upload more demoes until I have solved a couple of things, but I would like to hear your comments/ideas on what we already have acheived. I have been working on many internal things late...
