Ulysses Universe - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=The1PWNS]just wondering. just making shore the information I am gathering is correct. but what I can gather is this. 1) Players currently slide around the planet after a certain number of degrees 2) you have the view rotating (yay) flawlessly except in vehicles 3) only players slide after the certain angel, Props & Vehicles? have no problems with friction & physics? 4) Increased Wind Resistance in both an atmosphere & space 5) Wind resistance has absolutely no bearing on the player physics & being upside down with gravity from what I can remember with past experiences with physics. the exact same physics engine its self is implimented into 3ds max. Havoc. is it possible Havoc isn't capible of the gravity acceleration or would it be more the game engine than the physics engine??? or atleast not the version half life 2 and Gmod use? I would have thought that the friction problem would have been a better problem to solve before rotations. but thats just me. is it possible to get your hands on the formule or equation used to determin friction & instead of applying friction in any complex means. apply the friction in relation to the X & Y Tangents? X being up and down the planet Y being accross. applying over a tangent may be more efficent as its technecally the same as a flat plane only for curved surfaces... feel free to correct me if i'm wrong[/QUOTE] Maybe I'm missing what you're talking about, but there's no problem with friction right now. As far as news, been slow the past few days as I've been catching up on homework. You can watch the progress on SVN, but right now I'm working on further improving angles across multi-planet maps (and getting such a map on SVN) and improving how the prop sleeping works.

[QUOTE=Megiddo]...no problem with friction right now...[/QUOTE] must have missed the update. still can't wait this is awsom :P

Prop sleeping?

[QUOTE=dracura]Prop sleeping?[/QUOTE] I'm assuming 'Prop Sleeping' is when the prop is just laying on the ground, not being touched or anything. Aka "sleeping" sense it's not having any physic calculations being done on it.

[QUOTE=ConDragon]I'm assuming 'Prop Sleeping' is when the prop is just laying on the ground, not being touched or anything. Aka "sleeping" sense it's not having any physic calculations being done on it.[/QUOTE] Someone went on Wikipedia and researched the meaning. :loleyes:

Bump! Seriously, how is the progress going?

Got three big tests this week, so not much progress. :)

Argh! And of course not one them folks that skip school to do something "more" important... :'( (j/k) ;)

Thank god this isn't dead.

I can promise you it never dies. I will say, it sleeps for long periods of time. With ULX as stable as it is, and with us(Team Ulysses) not wanting to add too much more to it, I believe Megiddo will have more time now when not doing important school work. Be patient. It will come. Perhaps the ramblings of Garry's 'one gamemode a month' will get Megiddo in gear. :)

[QUOTE=tuusita]Argh! And of course not one them folks that skip school to do something "more" important... :'( (j/k) ;)[/QUOTE] I know that you are joking, but how is a game more important than your future? (Unless you are becoming a game designer/tester)

*snip*

Turns out this week was even busier than I thought it would be. Two interviews and an advisory board meeting. Joys! I'm hoping I'll have a few minutes over thanksgiving to work on it though. :)

I often try to sound funny in an ironic sorta way and usually just end up sounding moronic. But hey, that's just me. :D

I can't stand the silence :excited:

Me neither. Can't wait to stop sliding though :D Any reports Megiddo? [spoiler]Just realised what your forum name is ;)[/spoiler]

Da Bump(?) So what's up with the silence here and on Ulysses forum board for UU? Something to be worried about?

Wow, I thought this died. Fucking brilliant work, Meggido. Too bad it's really damn hard to fly a spaceship again D: Unless you cheat and use hoverballs with really high friction, I guess.

wow, very nice. H have been looking for something like this for a while. Stupid me not looking in the Dev section. Regards, Ballsy

I worry that the planet will not be big enough which won't let you really have a flat surface to build. Know what I mean?

Umm, guys? Do I really need to bump this thread? D: I really wouldn't want to, you know... Megiddo, you busy in real life or something? :)

This is the best thing since i found out about Spore. Is this only for GMod 10 or can it be used on 9?? Can't wait till you guys finish this!

[QUOTE=helio-G]This is the best thing since i found out about Spore. Is this only for GMod 10 or can it be used on 9?? Can't wait till you guys finish this![/QUOTE] Why would it be theoretically possible in any way for it to be used on GMod 9? GMod 9 isn't even supported, and the lua system in 9 is radically different than 10.

any news? both boards about this are dead :( don't tell me development stopped?!?!

[QUOTE=Öhr]any news? both boards about this are dead :( don't tell me development stopped?!?![/QUOTE] That I'd like to know too. :(

I Actually bought Garry's Mod 10 just to try this mod out. I hope they are still developing it. Anyway, is the view supposed to orient itself as i walk across the planet? Because it's not working for me. Also, does hammer not work anymore? All my 3D views are just flickery wire frame. How can i fix this?

[QUOTE=Öhr]any news? both boards about this are dead :( don't tell me development stopped?!?![/QUOTE] Though I can't speak for Megidddo entirely, I can say that it for 95% sure hasn't shut down. Megiddo has been working this, and rewritten twice (once for GM9, once for GM10) for over 2 years now. Yes, it is a slow project. Maybe he'll finish it before he graduates college.

Does the new engine provide anything to help development?

Dear:Megiddo May I please be apart of ulx and help you guys make a new update? From:LordGunner58 P.S. I studed every programing over 32 years :)

LordGunner, though we appreciate your enthusiasm, please don't post multiple times, in various threads, asking to join the team. Besides, though Ulysses Universe shares the Ulysses name, it is mostly Megiddo's release, and NOT related to ULX. The answer is No. I won't say never at this point, but most definitely not at this time. Now, back on topic. I've not tried... has anyone attempted to run this gamemode since the update? Let's hope Megiddo doesn't have to rewrite it for yet a 3rd time. :)
