Plasma Cannon


Hey Rival Rebels,  

I'm coding the next update, fixing small glitches, boosting the functionality to the game, retexturing some items, and adding cool stuff. The pics below show the new Plasma Cannon, it's still work in progress. A brand new anti-personel weapon, that should add a way to defend your base without griefing the facilities, chests, crates or machines. Yes, some machines are on the way too!!
Well, just to share with you, and please stay tuned because I'm planning to do a limited beta release to test the openGL11 alpha of the bubble explosion on different systems.

So if you are interested on helping me with the beta-testing of new weapon, please leave a comment below to this post and a way to e-mail you the 1.4 beta file. I would like to test it in: a PC laptop, desktops, mac and linux if is possible.
Please leave your computer specs and give me some feedback as soon as you try it.

Thanks
~Rodol

Tricks, Trucos, Tрюки, Truques

Hello Rival Rebels,
I'm experiencing euphoria, I love the intro of my new video, it's really robotic. Take a look, I'm explaining a few tricks that can be done in the mod, plus... yes you guess it a nuclear explosion, but not any nuke, this nuke... size 30 through the config file of the mod (the max yet), delivers a 480 crater, from wall to wall, a massive hole that runs with no lag, even with 64x64 HD textures, on this NASA computer, same one they use to simulate the end of the universe.

Also I take this opportunity to thanks you guys for all the comments and the amazing support, interest and tons of videos!!!

Going in circles

Well, I am working on the next version of the mod, going in circles :), lots of math, ploting coordinates for the openGL and keeping up with school. Can't complain, my geometry classes are helping a lot. Last night I was implementing some Pythagoras stuff and I crashed at 3 in the morning. :P
For the next update I'll fix some small glitches and introduce a way to produce the nuclear rods that currently do not have any recipe.
Here I leave some pics from the coding teaser video in my youtube channel.

LET THE WAR BEGIN!

LET THE WAR BEGIN! 

Awesome battle from ghruirsetghu. See how the Omega team set up quicksand traps around their beach base but get outgunned by the Sigma team. Later on the battle, Omega reaches Sigma's mountain base in a big effort and sets a 25 megaton nuke (at 29:06 on the vid) pulverizing the target  in a massive explosion to win the game!!



Thanks to both teams for this epic battle!! I really enjoyed it, and it helped me to catch some glitches that I'll fix for the next version.
