Weather delayed me, so will get to this stuff this weekend hopefully

Hi, I have made a development video snapshot of Phoenix USC in action. In this video I do a map/base run-through while 32 bots battle for the base flag. All bots are server controlled and the view is from a client. This video will give you a good overview of my development progress and all of the wonderful new features I've added ... like bots! I run through nearly all of the base and surrounding base area showing off all the base lighting effects, shader background, bots, radar and more. It will also give you a glimpse into what game play will be like as the 32 bots do well simulating players. Ive made a lot of progress in the last few months and I think this video helps to illustrate that. More soon! Checkout the video

Launch a beginners page I had created but never released A widget that shows the zones and their current populations Restore Zoner and its old comics Bring back some of the more popular pages from the old websites A Sniper 30th Anniversary/history of the game page (might reach out to some gaming websites about this anniversary too... traffic?)

Hi, In this video I am testing player / Bot exhaust trails. In this second revision I am using a larger sprite as the exhaust particle. Along with other settings it yields a better looking trail. I am flying in a ship that has a green trail and is the original particle effect for comparison. I like the look and it adds to the depth and player ship team identity as I plan to use the team color for exhaust trail. This is an area that will benefit from a future buy system where you might personalize your trail color. ( video - 1080p 00:08) More soon. Vidiot_X bot-trail-2.mp4

I put together a little network bot that implements most of the game. It's not very configurable, but the source code shouldn't be too hard to work with. Source code: zero It can connect and play in zones with VIE encryption. It supports Continuum encryption, but that part is not available to the public. Should behave very similar to a normal client. It has been tested in both asss and subgame servers. Has a debug render window for a display of it playing. Uses behavior trees for gameplay behavior. Has some simple behavior trees defined for a few hardcoded servers. Downside is that the core update loop uses floats for position data, so it can sometimes eat bullets/bombs when it's very close. Most of the bot is hardcoded to what I was working with, so it's not very configurable. Bot command controllers, servers, etc. I don't use this bot anywhere, so I'm not sure about its stability. It's pretty easy to setup a subgame server that you can connect to locally. Allow vie clients and make sure you listen on 127.0.0.1 so multiple connected bots don't get throttled by subgame. I would recommend setting the zero config server to Subgame and pointing that to the local connection. That will cause it to use the default svs behavior tree.

Any chance you got the modified kernel for installing continuum on wine?

I was working on a client for a few months back in 2021. It was made in C++ and rendered with OpenGL. I had it running on Windows, Linux, and Android. The code is written in a simplistic subset of C++, so it should be pretty easy for anyone to read if they ever decide to work on a real client. I haven't seen it crash ever, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were bugs and crashes somewhere. I never finished the ui stuff like arena menu, profile menu, etc. I also didn't implement profiles or zone list; everything is hardcoded into the build. It has VIE encryption and Continuum encryption support, but the Continuum encryption is private/disabled and done by using a network service. The simulation is done in floating point, so it's not 100% perfectly aligned with Continuum, but it's pretty close. The weapons will follow the same trajectory as Continuum, but weapon-player collisions can be off slightly due to using floats. I used this simulation code for my zero bot project. Github repository: nullspace Another earlier video showcasing it after a few months of work linked in the repo. Here's a video of it spectating in Trench Wars around the time I stopped working on it. nullspace is on the left and Continuum is on the right for comparison. (I guess Firefox doesn't support 4:4:4 chroma videos, but works with Chrome) 2021-08-16_16-30-05.mp4

Beast of a storm slammed into us and knocked my power out for a couple days. Even cell service was hit and miss due to damage to cell towers. Good now and I am working on some more backend stuff, but plan to return to frontend this weekend if time allows. Take care 👍

I've been asked many times about restoring a central forum system for the game and its clients, so here we go?

whats up all

Hi, I will be regularly posting progress updates and more here shortly. Phoenix USC is my spiritual remake of SubSpace and Continuum with a completely new server and client, a whole new game. My recent progress include a test of the Phoenix USC's server supporting 32 server controlled bot's. In this short attached video 32 bot's fight it out and as viewed from a Phoenix USC client. I will post more soon on Phoenix USC and where to follow my progress. More soon., Vidiot_X 32-bots-3-pusc.mp4

Progress man. Know you've had a lot going on in life and all, so glad to see you're back to it 👍

Fc was working on this extremegames.net (Only works on Chrome Browser I believe) It would be nice to get a clean version of SS/Continuum created and maintained that worked well with Apple and Linux in addition to windows. Including a fresh active zone list. So that folks that download the game can just go straight into it without having to download a new zone list and delete a bunch of inactive zones. As well as included a .pdf game guide. But maintained properly with the community with the proper latest versions (.40.0.x) or something.
