I’ve been poking around at the edge of 3D game development for a long time. (continued…)
Hey all, new HTDJ drop, John wanted the arrow keys to adjust the volume, like they used to before I “fixed” everything! It’s on the HTDJ website, as usual. Even more interesting, John’s been making progress on the latest incarnation of his space game, Terminus Est. Check it out!
In the HangTheDJ/ShareTheDJ update I’m posting today, I’ve switched to sending my serialized data as HTTP multipart form data. This allows binary transfers. Before I was using POST variables, and embedded ampersands and all sorts of other characters caused truncation and all sorts of other problems. So you can now actually see playlists coming through with much better success now.
New HangTheDJ release, first working ShareTheDJ release, and the first scraps of a User Manual. All presented on a shiny new web site. Whoa. 😛
UPDATE: Another new release (0.30) today (Friday 2/18), you can now watch other users’ dynamically-updated playlists. See the website for more.
Spent some time today exploring UnrealEd. It’s an excellent editor for UT2004 mods/maps/models/scripts/etc. that really let’s you jump in and mess around. It’s included as part of the standard UT2004 install – look for UT2004\System\UnrealEd.exe. Couple it with these awesome video tutorials and you’ve got no excuse to start cranking out that great new mod. My goal: set up a friendly game of tag that the girls and I can play.
