Again, I don't know anything about the script language, but in theory, if you could make up an array of those constants on script startup, then you could potentially loop through that array much easier any time you wanted as opposed to duplicating code on each of them.

Hmm.  Thread management is always a tricky thing. As you've kinda pointed out, that locking solution isn't iron-clad in that two threads unfortunate enough to call a "get" at the same time would potentially get a lock on the same parameter and cause unwanted behaviour. Is there any way to...

As a Java Developer by profession, I can appreciate the Object Oriented design alright.  Sounds spiffy :D .

I can only guess it's because there's pretty much no one left who has done enough mesh work to be of any help. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but from keeping an eye on these forums for many years, I can say that most people who got interested in this, discovered how to put lots of spikes on a...

That does look cool.  Tried to leave a comment, but bleddy YouTube kept giving me "Error, try again". As I was going to say in my comment though,  physically slapping your creature looked like too much fun  :D !

Interesting. Looks like the development of this has had a long lifespan, but is finally coming to fruition. Let's see if this spells the end of Hamachi?

Yeah, the maps are only the beginning.  You also have the scripts and audio to contend with.  However, the real "gotcha" is the BOTG/B&W2 game engines themselves.  You've made this a bit simpler for yourself by using the BOTG disk (as it has all the extra features).   Now if the BOTG engine had...

Well it sounds like you're more of a modder than I am if that's any consolation.  I wouldn't have even gotten as far as you. However, I remain doubtful that it's possible to play all the BOTG content with the B&W2 disk remaining in the drive. Don't forget that there's probably bits and pieces...

Oh yeah.  Totally loved that game. What I really enjoyed was morphing the land around to make a natural defences against my enemies or making land bridges to attack them from different positions. Why-oh-why could that never be incorporated in B&W (no matter what the additional effort on...

Oh god, don't get me wrong.  I totally blame them for making a sucky game.  However, say what you will about Peter Molyneux, but he was pretty honest about the problems they faced in an interview afterwards. Their intention was to develop the game a good bit more before release.  The problem...

Like Syclai, I can'treally disagree much with what you said Reonnen. However, to expand on my point about how Lionhead decided they needed to rebuild the game engine to accommodate all the new features. I truly believe that at the time they decided to abandon the B&W1 engine, they fully...

Cheers Syclai.  That's more specific advice than what I was able to give.

I doubt the cheat is responsible.  The only way it might be is if the cheat program isn't interacting well with the newer OS. I'm not sure how to resolve the load game issue either though, but I do have a suggestion to help possible narrow down the problem if you've got some free time.  If I'm...

$$$$$ Cha-ching $$$$$ Heads off to bank to cash royalty check :D .

They definitely lost some of their charm in B&W2. I think part of the reason for that was because Lionhead tried to make the game all things for all people.  They probably heard how some gamers had little to no interest in the creature in B&W1 and so in improving the creature AI, they...

I'm not a modder myself, so I don't have a direct answer to your question.  But I do recall that some of the other members who've been on here worked on maps where the enemy AI was more aggressive.  Not sure if you could apply that the the levels in the actual game though as these changes were...

Ah, methinks Nemesis's curse has a role to play here. As I read your post, you answered my first question on how you changed your creature, e.g. a creature changer or in-game.  As you used an in-game facility, that scratches my first theory that you used something like Kong to change your...

I'm kinda torn by that idea. On the one hand, it would've been cool to have two B&W games in that short a space of time.  However I can see quite a number of drawbacks: 1. Lionhead games of that era (and even a little bit now) have been known to lack a good polish before release and could be...

Oh yeah.  We've got a decent number of people doing that.  Normally, if you open a thread asking for a game over Hamachi, someone gets in contact with you on what you need to do to set up.
