Desktop BattleZone

hi
i just got finished with Desktop Battlezone screensaver and since i figured out how to use an installer, heres the link:
normal 800,600fullscreen: http://www.freewebs.com/kindomsword/BZ%20setup%20800_600.exe
widescreen: http://www.freewebs.com/kindomsword/BZ%20setup%20Widescreen.exe
feedback is appriciated.
JS

P.S.it looks much better in widescreen!

::EDIT:: sorry,for some reason the links link back to this page, just copy paste the adresses to your adress bar

Screenshots? More info? I could be downloading a virus for all I know.

theres screenshots and info in the gallery section.
3d screensaver of a space battle, features:
4 unique classes large ships
2 unique classes of fighters
reinforcements deployed through 'spacegates'
AI
nice explosions :-)
still adding optional sound and extra backdrops (planet, supernova etc...)

sorry about the poor screenshot quality

perhaps you should add more effects, like trails for the ships, bullet impacts on shields...It does not catch my attention like others. Why do the fighters seem to fly in random patterns?

Interesting screensaver otherwise, good work.

Looks good, dont expect anyone to look through the gallery for something in the showcase...

Hey this is pretty cool, all I do pretty much is make screensavers (only projects I can ever finish) and I plan on attempting this sometime in the future. Nice job.

@mindstorms: yes im planning on realtime editing the shield mesh to create a ripple effect when the bullets hit it

@Xzider: yeah, like i said, im still kinda new :p

right now the problem is that when it starts getting busy it can slow down alot, so im trying to iron out the code (and some of the meshes) and make it as fast as possible

the download link says that the page doesn't exist are you just editing that page or is my computer out of it's mind?

Can we get this on pjio.com?

@Ben(t): yeah, page stopped hosting it, i think i may have deleted it from there be accident. but its back up again and ill fix the link (btw, if you click the link is it just me or does it redirect you back to this page, and how do you fix that?)

@Indiepath: sure! the latest version includes the screensaver and a game of it, in which you can play as a turret on the ship, or a fighter, but it still has some bugs, so i wont post that one up yet.

heres the new link:
http://www.freewebs.com/kindomsword/BZ%20Screensaver%20Setup.exe
it now includes both the widscreen and 800 by 600 versions in it. just so theres no confusion, this one includes the screensaver only.

J.S.

Hey, I just revisted this over the last couple of days and fixed it up a bit, including partnering it with my new AI engine. if you guys could test it would be great! hope you like it.

Download trouble - can't seem to get more than 13kb.

quite nice, like all the cross fire looks cool. the small ships do fly though the big ships which need sorting plus i get a mav on moving the mouse.

@MadJack: as far as i can tell the download is ok, could be freewebs acting up though.
@Pete: thanks! i thought i had fixed that mav already...I'll check it out again.

Downloading now - didn't seem to like Firefox.
