just sayin.

Lookin good man. Is that one video simulating 250 ms lag testing a lag compensation feature? Really excited to see what comes from this, good luck man.

Is this the new game? or an update? I'm assuming the latter...

the former

Is it a multivehicular game

it does not hardcode models, the game script defines what models are available to specific players.

Hmm... Very interesting concept; keep up the good work!

All we need now is a Pickaxe flag


Just joking.

Looks very good.

Note that the game Jeff is showing is a test application. The graphics system is set up the way it is because it's easier to work with.

pfff pickaxes are lame.

it's all about the shovel-beam!

Looking awesome Jeff! Come along way.

That's some amazing effort right there! Keep it up!

We need a bat flag.

JeffM, is there a way you could include the ability to move/aim the HUD/sights? Some people I know don't like BZFlag because you can't aim at people on buildings, etc. It would be a great addition to the game, but I'm not sure if that's the direction you want to go in for the game. I also don't know whether it would work out with gameplay (controls and stuff)... Consider this, and many more people will want to play OpenCombat.

It's in there.... (at least in theory)

Ah, sorry joevano, I never saw that page... After reading all of it, I think the game is going to be very successful!! It's a great idea and concept, and I look forward to the download release.

I think I'll just make every player a pony and they shoot hugs not guns.

I'd definitely play this game.

I never knew so many eight year old girls played bzflag.......
But anyways, great work Jeff! I hope this game turns out to be just as good as bzflag.

Haha, mayhem: OpenCombat sounds like it will be better than BZFlag... Not to disrespect this game; it's the best computer game I've ever played. But because of the fact that it contains more modern and up-to-date features, I think it will be a great success. Knowing the concept was derived from BZFlag makes matters even better.
