Play Version

It will the first time. But it'll load quicker after that.

As of yet? No >_> My computer has had it's latest hiccup, and according to dad, the hard-drive is dying. It keeps making wierd sounds... I'm afraid if I start working on it, I may end up losing the data. But guess what, that didn't stop me from starting to free disk space so I could get Windows running dual-boot with Linux! AND I'm getting Adobe CS4 Professional again, so I'm planning on getting right back to work on this! Really, all I have to do now after this latest upload is organize everything with the default plugin! That, and finish replacing the pics in the intro and perhaps work a little on the main menus. But other than that, it's 90% complete!

I'll be working on it more lately, and see if I can't get it all done by January 7th! That's the day I'm registering for the next set of courses, and when I'll be starting back on college again, so I've got a lot of free time to go ahead and get it done until then! I'll focus all my efforts onto it, and post up an update as soon as possible! I SWEAR FROM THE DARKEST PARTS OF MY SOUL. Er... Yeah... Let's not get into that XD

Yay!

(But don't give us your darkened soul)

XD No need! MY darkened soul is made of peanut butter

Oh wait... Did I just say that out loud?

Crap... Uh, I need a little help here. Does anyone have that last upload I made of the game? Version 0.2? The play version? My hard drive has crashed multiple times, and I lost the old virtual hard drive I stored it on as a result. And I'm looking through all my upload places to see if I stored a backup, but so far, no results >_>

NOOO!!! i hope someone has it, or else you might have to start over?

How unfortunate.

What is it with all of you and crashing computers?

Heh, it happens. Well, don't worry, I still have the .fla file from July of last year. It's missing the sprites and information for the governments after Earth Force (Babylon 5), including the Terran Empire and the Galactic Empire. But since I still have the sprite images on Mediafire, I can get them back in the game real quick, and it won't take long to redo the ship/weapon stats and sound effects. From my estimates, if I work and finish certain parts of the game each day, I should be done in 9 days. So much for the January 7th release XP Oh well, it's either I release it unfinished, or I go ahead and finish it up, and I know most of you would rather play a finished game!

I was asking for swf file because I may be able to find a program in which I can extract some of the sprites and default plug-in text. That would really speed up production by a day, I think! But that's alright either way. I can get it done. So, ETA to finish... 9 days! January 13th! Sorry about this guys! I really should've kept uploading the latest fla files (I did, to 2shared, but since it doesn't have a My Files feature like Mediafire, I can't find them unless I have the links, and the links are trapped on a screwed up partition in my hard-drive... Though I might be able to get them back out if I use Ubuntu Live on CD. I'll have to try that today, and if I can find the link, I'll have a heck of a lot less to do!)

UPDATE: Okay, nevermind... I think 2shared deleted my file after a short period of time or something, because it's not there anymore I won't tell you how ticked I am now, but this means I'm going to have to start work on the July version as soon as possible... 9 days, I'll try to finish it in no more or less time. Wish me luck

good luck...you're gonna need it... cant wait to play this game finished!

Give yourself an extra day. We don't really want you to have to release something on the thirteenth of a month.

And of course we are wishing you luck! This is one of the grandest projects we have ever had here, and it would be great if it was finished! it would be the first plugin of its type.

You're forgeting BMIII and raffitz Flashgate.

Well, thanks for the support guys! Good news, too! Using two swf extractor programs, I was able to pull the swf off of the play version thread, and then extract the images and plug-in text files from the newest version. This took away 5 days worth of work! I'm fixing up the sound effects today before I head off, and so I should only have between 2-4 days to go!

This all depends on how cooperative flash will be with me this time around. I upgraded it to run on Flash 6 and up, but in the end I may upgrade the file to the latest version just in case... The reason it loads so slowly right now is because there are a ton of extra files I don't use in the game that I'm planning on getting rid of when I finish it. I keep them as backup in-game though, since most of them can replace the files I currently use, just in case something happens and the file gets corrupted or something.

Cheers to all! When this thing is complete, I'm going to sit back and take a break, and let you guys enjoy!

I meant the first thing with other TV nations in it (SG-1, the cylons etc.), and by that I meant the first to be completed.

this isn't really a plugin. and i agree, Jerome, you can have as much time as you need.

january 13th oh yay it will come out on me birthday. (well here it will)

January 13, I’ll miss it. I’ll be away.
I think that I’m going to cry

Well, I have something to say... It's not to be pessimist or anything, but I think 8 days to finish it from an old version is pushing yourself very hard, isn't it??

Not exactly. Don't know if I mentioned it yet or not, but I got a lot of my more recent work back onto it in one day thanks to that SWF extractor, and the other program. So that leaves me mainly with only making the game LOOK better, and the default plug-ins (except for the ones I finished, a.k.a the weapons and ship data plug-ins) So in that regard, I really don't have much to do. Besides fixing a few bugs. Like one in which the 23rd century phaser sound plays when I click New Game on the menu (I found out that removing the sound, while preventing it from being played when you use the phaser from the Constitution class, also keeps it from playing on the menu when you click something).

I think a few sounds are in the wrong places, so right now a lot of my attention is being diverted to the sound effects. I finished the main menu, but not any of the sub menus or the HUD just yet. After I'm done with the sound effects, that will be my next order of business before finishing the default plug-ins. Then it's a work complete. Oh, and that glitch where it freezes up doesn't seem to happen anymore. I updated it to Flash 6 when I saved it, so that probably did it. Cheers to that! And it will very likely be out by sometime tomorrow or so if I manage to get enough time to work on it. This is my last day without courses, so I'm aiming to do as much as I can today so I can finish it all by tomorrow along with the first day of my college courses for this semester.

There's a lot of programs that do that... If you search in the old topics, I even gave Jerome some suggestions...

Click on that if you want a virus.

Hey, I could have made it an embed, and then everyone would get a virus once they went to this page, so I'm being merciful.

not everyone, my dear friend...

Heh, just Google it, guys. It was only a demo version, so it only extracted the images, sounds, and text, but none of the actionspeak. Not like it mattered, all I needed were those three things XD

Now, get back on topic, or I SHALL SMITE THEE!

Nice Game

it's cool that it's almost done too!

Little by little! XD I'm almost done with another project that has been taking my time so much lately... It's called college. But as soon as DW finishes his HUD for the game and sends me back the fla, I'm going to get back to work on it!

And take your time, DW! I'm getting a lot of work done where college is concerned, and I'm almost caught up to where I should be there XD

yeah, might be a coulpe weeks, i don't have photoshop at home anymore, so i gotta use the school's

I'm new to the forum. I have been coming here for a LONG time....and finally decided to sign up.....Well, anyways, awesome game!!!
