Title: nTrap
Post by: HotSnoJ on April 01, 2002, 01:45:31 pm

http://www.n-trap.co.uk/ I think HLP should look into this game. It might replace all others, including FS! NOOOO! But on the bright side we could port all the stuff over to it.

"nTrap is being powered by AGD-Software's own Magrathea Simulation Engine..."

I want the planet made of solid gold please. :D

Seriously, I can't work myself up about nTrap. Besides the name, it looks rather cartoonish. What I want right now is more newtonian physics, not more arcade action.

Speaking of Magrathea, has anyone ever attempted to make a Hitchhiker's MOD for FS2? BTW, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

That... would be cool :D
Albeit the difficulty because  it's a book and one guy will think that the HOG looks like this and another gu... you get my point ;)

BTW: I don't really think that NTrap will be particularly good, I'd rather lean in the directions other Space sims.

Man, a lot of people want me to shutup! Anyway I was thinking of a Freespace port over to the Magrathea. It souds like it would be great for FS. I mean you shot at someone and they got HOLES in their hull! Man, wouldn't that be great to see that?! The engine is going to be a Moder Heaven!

Hm? From what I read at the site, it's supposed to use at least "sort of" newtonian physics...

http://www.agdsoft.com/ Sorry it should have been this site that I linked to. This is the deveopler site. Has more info on the game and engine.

I think this thing has a future - it looks superior to crystal space at any rate.

OpenGL, Multires LODs, parametric/NURBS support...

Is there a downloadable demo of this?

There is no demo at the moment because the engine is only at v0.5. Though they say there should be one out soon. Here is the tread that has some info http://www.ntrapbb.net/nTrapBB/Forum4/SHTML/000047.shtml

Hey HLP, ten (can you believe it) people want you to get info on the game. Maybe treat it like I. War or FS. While 2 said they don't give a damn. 4 said what the hell is nTrap. And 5 told me to shutup.
