Terrified I've sent duplicate names. I really need a checklist or something.

Terrified I've sent duplicate names. I really need a checklist or something.

Honestly don't worry about it I'll send you the names file in a mo, Duke sent me his list of names as well so it's sitting around 2000 something. I really appreciate all the help you've provided, it's going to make randomly generating chapters much, much easier.

[SkeletusAurelius]

Got some rather obscure ones tucked away. Are they needed?

[SkeletusAurelius]

Just noticed some of the names are fucked up from Auto-correct by downloading the new version.

Harley=Harle
Weather=Wronde
etc etc



EDIT: Keep getting kick-to-desktop crashings for clicking things at random. New game/stars. No rhyme or reason. I crash once then it works again.

EDIT: None of the names other than Telcantar are being generated for marines. I think this might be intentional, but i'll ask anyway.

EDIT: Yep, there's doubles.

Ah, I'll look into correcting those.

Hm, I'll investigate.

Yeah I realised this on Monday but figured it wasn't worth re-releasing for. Fixed for the next version!

EDIT: Yep, there's doubles.

Not the worst thing ever, just gives a slightly higher % chance for that name.

[SkeletusAurelius]

Either way, well done. It actually got me digging into the notepad to see what was in there. I'm sure this'll turn out into something awesome.

[SkeletusAurelius]

Maaan, Autocorrect really screwed me over. Will put up a to-fix list on PC when it's Saturday.

I'm getting really excited for 0.3 release tomorrow. No real gameplay as yet but a hell of a lot of work has gone into this version and not just from me. Exciting times!

By my reckoning I'll be implenenting basic gameplay by mid May. Lots of interface to figure out first though...

I struggle a lot with current CM interface. For those of you that played a lot of it, if anyone fancies being a UI consultant to talk me through "how it works right now" for some things I'd really appreciate it. Just shoot me an email at cmggamedev@gmail.com and we can chat.

Are the names always going to be this easy to edit? It'd be nice to add and modify.

Yep, plain text files all the way. The aim of the game is moddability.

IMO continue hijacking the thread. It's a fun change from Journier who generally only posts if we poke him too much.

Speaking of Journier: Do do stil have no news from the programer? It has been another month

For those that missed the tg thread, version on the blog currently has a couple of identified bugs and a new one will be uploaded tomorrow.

[SkeletusAurelius]

I swear if we get this kind of art into the game it'll be a sight to behold.

You could probably replace the marine body sprites with images like those and make it work, if you rearranged the overlay sprites (for the weapons) so they they match up with the hands. Maybe the in-game sprites could have a highlight/shading layer added to make them look a bit more more like that, while retaining the colour customization. But I don't know if that's possible or how to go about doing it right now.

[Flow]

If someone wants to/can make sprites like that they can certainly be included. I intend to add support for sprite shading later but I have no reference sprites to base it off of right now.
