I reckon an ignore hostiles toggle sexp could be the answer. Or script whatever fits your design more coherently.

[Aardwolf]

Yeah, it's the spelled out form of e.g. It's Latin for ... something. Likewise, id est is spelled out form of i.e. (which is Latin for "that is").

I just like spelling them out to annoy/edumacate ignorant people.

[bobbtmann]

Well then, let's edumacate those ignorant people. Ergo (not er go) is latin for "therefore". I think therefore I am. Cogito, ergo sum.

E.g. is short for exempli gratia. Or, according to www.tiscali.co.uk,  for sake of an example.

I'm not trying to put anyone down, but I've always found that fancy terms usually mess people up.

[Aardwolf]

Really? Damn.

That's even longer than saying "for example"

[General Battuta]

Yep, e.g. is not ergo.

I just like spelling them out to annoy/edumacate ignorant people.

Need any dressing for that bullet wound in your foot? 

[Aardwolf]

Oil and vinegar, please.

[Aardwolf]

New demo. No new gameplay features in this one, but it no longer relies on a bundled .exe file any more---a recent nightly build should work fine. Also, some UI/input work has been done since the last one.



Edit:

The website, as before, is at http://rts.fsmods.net/

Seems promising, and it is quite an intriguing idea, and it seems to be being carried out in a good manner. Nice work and the best wishes towards your success.

[Colonol Dekker]

Will a recent fred build be able to open the missions?

[Aardwolf]

The released versions of the RTS Mod do not extensively rely on advanced mission features.

In fact, there's only one included mission. It sucks. That might be something to change in future releases.

Ok know this is a slight necro...but we needa draw more attention here. I think Aard you should have some sort of representation here at Hard-Light other than just this single thread, which tends to get buried quickly. The freespace mod forums really don't have enough traffic to get people interested in this project, or for you to get helpers if you need them. It would be best if you could have your own board here...even if it's not used much, it would be just to let people know this project exists.

Also it's a better source of motivation if you have a lot of people hounding you for updates

[Spoon]

Believe me, if there is an update, Aardwolf will be the first to let us all know (Repeatedly) in the irc channel...

[Grimper]

Yeh but the majority of us don't use IRC...only the 'inner circle' so to speak.

[Colonol Dekker]

I don't use a magic IRC program. I use the link from HLP to chat in my browser of choice.
 
 
It saves a load of hassle.

i just use pidgin

[woundedkarma]

Wondered if this was still being worked on.

I loved fs2, best space game ever made although tie fighter is close behind.

The game I really want to see is something similar to silent death online but with a mix sdo gameplay and rts.  I can't imagine a better engine than fs2 especially with the upgrades that have been added.

Curious if this project is still going, did you guys ever consider it? :>  Cap ships that are rts.. mixed with fighters that are 2d action oriented.

[Nuke]

nuke? finish a mod?



but seriously nukemod is my current priority and i hardly even touch that, maybe if i could put my arduino down for 15 minutes.

[Grimper]

Has this project been made defunct by some of the newer ones (homeworld thingy...nexus), or still going? o.o

[Nuke]

its still on svn if thats what you mean. put it up in hopes of drawing in more scripters but between aardwolf's busy and my crazy, it aint getting done.
i certainly dont have the login to the svn server though, but i keep a copy of the latest code on file.

we were also encountering some technical limitations that were for the most part crippling the mod.
