Release Apocalypse rising this year

Gee, I wonder why.

I've been watching this project for over a decade and there's really not been any public progress. It's always a new model to replace an old one, and better textures. Just release the damn thing with placeholder models.

I remember a few years ago @ saberhawk spent a few weekends porting models and even game mechanics into unity with VR support. What's the holdup?

I've got about 35 years until retirement and I somehow still doubt this mod will be released by then

booooooooooooooooo, dont be tiny baby man

Wolf, saberhawks already has his w3d asset importer working 80% of the time in just a few weeks time. Unity would be a better move.

Whats stopping you? You're about a year or two from irrelevancy to basically everyone but yourselves. move to a new game engine. take some fucking initiative to learn something new. You're literally beating an already beat to a pulp game engine with terrible net code that makes it basically unplayable on less than high quality internet connections. You're stagnant, and adding ships and pretty textures wont change that.

your maps is bad. But seriously. private testing was a mid 00's thing to do. its freaking 2019. get with the times. abandon W3D, use the tool Saberhawk is making to export W3D models to modern formats, and work on a new, free to use game engine, with public testing. Unity, Lumberyard, Cryengine, UE4, it doesn't matter. W3D is dead and has been for atleast 15 years. you might have to abandon all C&C ties to do so, but im sure you could rename all the units to be compliant and avoid C&D's

What equipment/programs did you use to create music in the early days? How long did it take to record/produce a song on average?

This is why you are still shit at life Dadud. Do you remember that furry porn disguised as a APB Beta you leaked in order to come out as a furry? yeah I still remember that. HATERS GONNA HATE

oh great. another mod that we wont get to touch for at least 5 years.

Im honestly suprised its lasted this long, the netcode, graphics, and dwindling playerbase are all nails in the coffin. You'll have to bury W3d sooner or later.

what about abandoning W3d altogether and using the framework that renegade x has built? apart from the nostalgia, what benefit do you get with sticking with a 14 year old game engine?

To be fair, when the server was US-based back in the day, 100-200ms is a perfectly playable ping. The fact that the game has dumb netcode ironically makes it more accessible for players with higher latencies. even 300ms+ is still playable, albeit fairly warpy. Game engines like Source cack themselves with pings like those. i have to aim ahead 5 feet to hit anyone. i thought these days were behind me when i finally got off dial up a few years ago.

14 meg DSL, usually get pings of 50. i get 160-250.

can we add some US based servers in the future? i feel like im back on dial up and its kind of soiling the experience.
