artynerd your cjb.net website seems down? cos i wanted to check out the type of music you will be making for the game....
And what I meant was talking when someone dies or before you die.... rather than a radio......
for example:
Deaths -
"Thats what happens when you smoke weed, slower reactions"
"Did your gun just squirt water at me?"
And
About to die or if you do something stupid -
"Wait my contact lens just fell out"
"Oh theres the safety catch"
i got another load written down, if you want them then pm me..... and i can write somemore..... obviously someone will need to record their voice for it, unfortunately my voice is not one that sounds good when its recorded....

http://www.mhgames.cjb.net/ seems to be working fine for me, you might want to try clicking on this link.
The type of music I'm making for Jihad probably won't sound a whole lot like what I did for Formido and Delirium, since those games are quite different (top-down-shooter and puzzle game respectively).

In terms of the whole game and sfx and stuff, i'll just give my opinion when we're at that point. I don't think it's necessary right now, we're not there yet.
BTW, your song is entitled BOBO - Snowshoe.... any relation to BOBO the amazing quake texture artist?
artynerd
May 20 2004, 05:35 AM
Thanks for the kind words, guys

My old nickname was Bobo, back in the day. The texture artist you're reffering to is someone else... Or is it? Ha, jk

I do a lot of art, and I dabbled with Quake mapping/texturing now and then, but I never heard of the "Bobo" you speak of.

At least 1/2... I'd say more like 2/3. I'm in the depths of combining real-world dynamics with network synchronization... It's quite the bitch =]
But I'd honestly say it's the toughest thing left... pretty much the last core part of the engine besides particle effects (which aren't too terrible). After that, just the rest of the gameplay code.

But seriously, sucks pricewatch is raping you. I didn't know they even charged for their site. Guess I'll have to stop using it until they get some better practices.

How's it going Pete.
Actually, pricewatch pulled their heads out of their a$$es. They don't charge customers... just vendors. Nevertheless, they returned to the old fixed-rate system as a result of the massive flak they received.
It's called "Jihad" because that's what popped into my head when I decided to start the project. It is not to be taken seriously.

Just curious if you are going to need any help with any artwork (title screen, textures, etc)... or start up a 'contest' to give the winner an early beta copy for the best titlescreen submission, or if not that just put the winners name in the credits or something. There are lots of us willing to help out, just shout out if you need anything. Any way you can make a 'real time strategy' version of this? where you can make it like command and conquer and link up? Out of ALL of the xbox games (homebrew, corporate, and emulators), there is not ONE link-up rts game. Keep up the good work!

Interesting... there isn't a single system-link RTS? Sad.
Artwork for the title screens and menus are pretty basic right now. I'm concentrating more on engine completeness and the actual game. But once that's underway, it'd be cool to have people submit ideas and set up some sort of contest just for fun. I would credit everyone... not just the winner.
Much of the work involved with jihad is in the engine. So, once it's complete, there's no reason someone (including myself) couldn't use it to create an RTS. Network libraries, physics, file formats, and graphics are all there. Actually it's more of an SDK than an engine. So it's not limited to a particular genre.

Well it's a serious word, and many people use it to do some fucked up shit, often with serious consequences. I would highly suggest a name change.

I understand what you're saying. I appreciate the input and the suggestion. People use alot of words (it's just a word) to conduct bad business. Let me know what you think of this... I'd like a little input from anyone reading the thread, but I ask now -- PLEASE don't make this some sort of political argument. Keep that in 'General Chat'. First let me say that if people really are offended by it, then a change will definitely be made.
Part of the reason that I'd rather not change the name is people need to lighten up a bit.

The concept of a Jihad is nothing new. Some are finding it to be this new, sensitive subject simply as a result of 9/11 and the situation with Al Qaeda. Should we also avoid using the word "Nazi", "KKK", or "rapist"? Part of what creates over-sensitivity is avoiding the use of words that may cause people unease. I firmly believe that the effects of such actions are extremely negative and only increase the weird "

" feeling going around.
The game Jihad is just an action game. No religions, ethnic groups, or specific belief systems are addressed in the game. Representing a team with the sole purpose of eliminating the opponent is easily a "crusade", or even a "jihad".
My middle school had to change its maskot from the "Trojans" to the "Timerwolves" because some lunatic parents felt it was promoting sex amongst the students. This change actually opened more kids eyes up to the sexual connotations unlike ever before.
If I change the name now, people will feel I was originally addressing specific religious issues, and changed the name due to post 9/11 tension. This would, in essence, imply that the game was originally offensive, and needed to be changed.
