I want to take ideas for a new name besides "The Battlesystem" - which people keep thinking is going to be a mandatory system because it sounds so final, instead of a fun little minigame to the side of things. I'm thinking... MaelstrΩm: Rebels Turn-Based Dueling Game All logos would, of course, be based around the silly little omega (Ω) symbol Other suggestions? _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

The name was deliberately "overly-epic", but I actually hadn't considered the irony of using omega specifically. It's a shame that "Alpha" is just a plain old A instead of a cool symbol like Omega. Quote: Afterthought, does your program support items and the such (Equipable things and such, then we could technically form our own lightsabers.) Well. Items like - I don't know, a one-time use bacta spray to heal a few HP without using any force points? Those wouldn't be hard. It'd basically be nearly identical to the code I used to implement Force Powers. They'd just need to be in a seperate database from the Force Powers/specials. Equipable items... Hm... yes. I think that wouldn't be too hard either. It'd basically be the same code (which I haven't done yet) as the bit that tells the program what Force powers an individual character has. So again, not much extra work. The neat thing about that is that we could hold little tournaments and have the winner earn a little necklace-type item that permanently gave them +1 to lightsaber damage or something. _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

Although Requiem seems to imply the fight is already over. It'd almost need to be... pre-requiem But the "Blade" does give me an idea. Once I get all the underlying systems working fairly well, we could put it up under the name "Requiem: Alpha" or "Maelstrom: Alpha" Then each major update would be named after it's biggest feature. Sort of like an "expansion pack" "Requiem: Blades" - Support for other lightsaber types/styles "Maelstrom: Energy" - Force powers expanded greatly "Requiem: Supply Drop" - Support for items added "Maelstrom: Allies" - Support for 2v2 matches "Requiem: Rebels" - Support for non-Jedi/Sith players You know, things like that. Of course, "Allies" would only work if I learn how to put it online and allow players to connect to it - which I don't know how to do, currently. In its current incarnation, it'll only be a fancy calculator/character builder - and offline support for human-vs-human. _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

I've only been testing on the Mac side http://gallery.myff.org/gallery/249739/BattleSystemAlpha.jar And if it does run - post a screenshot. Since it's going to look completely different in Windows than the Mac side. _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

Rive Caedo Jedi Grand Master Joined: 02 Dec 2005 Posts: 8294 Location: Kallibann *stops grumbling* Worked fine on my Windows Vista side. First run. Here it is side by side with the same program running on my Mac side. I need to fix the Main Points Line - it's not displaying right on the windows side, but everything else looks fine. Would someone else mind trying it - maybe on Windows XP? Hopefully it's just Xander having a problem... _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always
