where would i go to talk about the continuum client?

[tugs]

i dont know, the only subspace site i see these days is this one...

what i'd like to know is about the client, about the maps being square and not polygonal.
i find it annoying that the only smooth corridors have to be in one of 4 directions.
i know it gets into the coding being harder and stuff...
thing is, i'm currently putting something like that together in my spare time and i think it'd be cool if my efforts actually got used somewhere.

would there be interest in this type of thing?
where would i find out who codes the client?

i'm really kind of lost

There exists some sort of 'comity' for projects on Continuum. These people suggest things and good ideas are added to Priitk's list of to-dos. As a matter of fact, it has been suggested already that the blocks be diagonal and not just a simple block square.

As of the moment, Continuum's source is confidential and only Priitk himself knows what will be in the future updates. There is a site, mostly for server problems, but you can still suggest things there: Server Help subspace/continuum

unfortunately, as stated by hakaku, the client is closed source. and let me tell you dude, you are going to have a very difficult time getting priitk to ever let go of his precious code. the problem with getting him to change up the tiles himself is the simple fact that changing them from straight up squares involves redoing a bunch of physics in terms of how objects bounce off of walls. it gets messy, and he tends to not do anything but minor bug fixes here and there. and even those are done very, very infrequently.

nice, thanks for the link hakaku.
and thanks for the info too.

what i was actually wanting to figure out myself is a full out polygon collision detection system.
i know this would be a huge change to the game in all regards and isnt a small tweak of code, so probably a long way off.
and i'm wanting to put it together myself anyway, just thought i'd figure out where to offer a copy for the game i love :wub: heh heh

gonna go post on that forum somewhere now.

I'm not going to copy and paste verbatim what I said there, but the basics are that Jason is correct and it's unlikely for anyone to get to see the client source. If you would like to contribute, there are still many other opportunities.

much dissussion happens here on continum dev

I advise u read FULLY previous posts about creating/updating the client before posting :P

Reverse engineering the continuum client (again) wouldnt be impossible. But it would ironic.

Im currently working on something that will allow you to change music in game and allowing you to she what track is currently playing from within the game. Once i crack this maybe we will see more plugins

Search the TW Forum, someone already made a lite application for that.

ah there are many applications that play music for subspace

But do any display the track in game? (when full screen) I couldnt find one. If there is i would be very interested in studying the source.

I dont know if there is one that displays song info, but WRC(WinampRemoteControl) is really good!

yep, I used to have it.. didn't pio made it?

When is someone gonna come out with a strong "ass" client that uses SDL instead of directx. And that way maybe TW will switch from support of continuum.... a dated hag client, to something cross platform, and more attractive.

YA got me lost

Then again, i hardly know whats the diff between soft- and hardware :fear:

Yeah this is prity much a useless post, Sorry :P
