Xentales

I am not sure where he got them from, but archive.org has been archiving old xenimus pages for nearly 20 years now. This includes old installers as well.

Just go here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/xenimus.com

Use the calendar to find a date way in the past and then try to download one of the xenimus installers from that time. Then you can just install it and have access to all the old files.

I managed to aquire them from another project. I might end up replacing them at some point though so I can market the game outside this community and avoid problems from EJ. But that won't be till much further into development, we'll see.




Yeah you can download the old files and the models are available but they are in EJ's custom MDJ format so they would have to be converted.

10 player connections made. My single computer couldn't handle much more. Still working through converting everything to work properly on a network but it's getting there.

I assume you re-implemented everything to match Xenimus exactly?

I've always wondered, what's the deal with the camera in Xenimus?

Is it an ortographic camera at 45 degrees standard, 90 degrees when you press "v"?

A lot of things will be similar, but a lot of things will be different. I don't care to copy everything exact. The goal is to create a better game.

No the camera uses a perspective projection matrix. Similar to the 2nd example on this page https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReferenc ... atrix.html

You mentioned not knowing what formula EJ used for stats......

Anyway I can donate?

Oh wow I remember this! Awesome work man. You figured those equations out on your own?. Impressive. Great timing too as I have started reworking player stats with networked play in mind. I'll implement these calculations tonight or tomorrow thank you.




I appreciate wanting to support the project that's really motivating. But no not at this time. While using EJs assets I think it's best to play it safe and see how things unfold first. Once the game is online and I have an idea of servers costs and stuff I will might revisit the idea, we'll see. Thank you

hows life man?

any cool updates in the past month?
