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

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

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.

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.

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.

And then die of happiness? EVEN BETTER GAME!! :P
And the lesson for tonight is:

Never underestimate the ability of a newb to expect instant success and cry "cheat!" when they don't get it. Don't hate the newb, just give them plenty of learning opportunities. ;)

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.
Lag makes me miss all of the good stuff.
And random bans..........

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.
