    New version of ROCK RAIDERS - update

    No. There is absolutely no fun to be gained from this. It would be annoying, illogical, and utterly pointless. It would completely break a ton of things like, say, Run the Gauntlet, Don't Panic, Split Down the Middle, or any level involving you focusing on controlling individual units, or levels involving choke points/points of no return (say, like Erode Works in the first game). And even in the more standard levels you'd be forced to stay with under a game mechanic like that, you'd basically just be amplifying the existing LRR AI problems, with units wasting a ton of time running across the whole freaking map ten times over for no reason. Did I mention that in addition to causing a ton of problems, from severely limiting level design to making the AI even more unbearable, it doesn't make anything else in the game more fun? It's literally 100% terrible. Just no.

    Wow, the renders are beautiful, but your models themselves are inspiring. My favourite has to be the chunky dude, although that last one is interesting too.

    Odd. Once again Sparks is referred to as Axle in the last panel of the comic, despite that they got his name right earlier in the comic. Note that Axle himself is only in the background in this comic, making me belive that he was originally going to be more prominent, but they switched him for Sparks for whatever reason, and then only changes some of the dialogue. Or, it was just a genuine screwup. Who knows.

    Ya, a pipeline with signalling (basically your idea) would probably work best. The Raider never checks for a task. Rather, a job manager fills an array with jobs as they are generated. Whenever a Raider completes its current job, it sends a signal to the job manager which then adds it to an array of raiders who are job candidates. Whenever a raider is added or a job is added, that generates a signal that tells the task manager to assign jobs. This way, processing occurs only on demand -- lazy evaluation, as opposed to a continuous processing loop that runs with the rest of the game logic. A nice feature is this system is independent of how DDI decides to make the AI handle tasks (Rock Raiders like priority system, closeness system, ability system, or even something else). To sum it up, it doesn't matter how DDI decides to delegate tasks to the Raiders, the performance impact would be the same regardless of the method used . ( )

    The exact opposite for me. I love atmospheric music when I'm doing something. I think you misread what you quoted. Anyway, I'm with Lair here, the PS1 style music wouldn't work as well in an RTS game. Something more ambient would be good.

    Hello RRU!

    So this morning I noticed something I hadn't noticed. (off to a great start, ain't we?) Blogs. On other sites, blogs are a premier-only option. (yes, I AM glaring at you, BZPower.) So I'm glad here it isn't that way. I will post updates on what's up with the game I'm making. Cause I did mention I'm making a game, right...?

    And I have made the Mahiki again. Toa Metru version this time instead of Turaga. I have to say that besides the color and the "ears" I see no resemblance between the two. I just realized that I haven't posted the finished turaga pic. I'll add that sometime this week to the first post.

    Just saying: Are you trying to bump this thread? I believe you've said this quite a few times..... Anyway, I DID watch the show. Noticed that ship they fly in is BIGGER ON THE INSIDE and can travel through worlds (I smell a TARDIS). Basically, it's old-school Doctor Who without time travel... and they stay on one world. The acting is meh, the effects are meh, and it smells strongly of POWER RANGERS. And yet... I'm still watching it. WHY???

    Why anyone would create a forum for it is beyond me. You didn't happen to find that link in /b/ did you?

    I saw a few episodes back in the day... But I don't remember anything now. And the LEGO sets make me think "LEGO Ben 10." In other words, TLG didn't learn the first time. Shame.

    This is a forum about Lego stuff particularly games(which Galidor has BTW) and Lego made it a Lego theme so why should it? Because saying Galidor is LEGO is like saying personal pizzas from Subway are Italian cooking. :P

    Please, watch your language. I thought Cyrem had the G word filtered... Anyway, some TexLUG guys once ran over some of the figures with a truck, or so I've heard. I wish I could have been there.

    Horrible news

    X-Box games are even worse. I think some of the microsoft people had a bet to see how many buttons they could fit on one controller, and out came the x-box. I also do not own one, now have any desire too. I'll take my Dwarf Fortress and Magicka thank you very much.
