WolfenBots - 2nd Alpha Version
Notes
by Tex ZK
Here are some notes on the second alpha
version of WolfenBots which has just been released. To make reading
simpler, I list the new features:
- textures and many sprites from TexZK's
story (but not the guards, that maybe will be changed because I
must add some new frames)
- main menu fixed: can't load, save &
change view (the first two will be activated when the career mode
is included); added a moving sprite on the left (the menu will
change to include new features that I'm working on, like career
mode)
- after loading a map you can insert your
name, that will be displayed by pressing [C] (scoreboard)
while in game - this feature will be removed in the career
mode
- added an exciting timed quad-damage with
a blue flash when firing (like in Quakes)
- the user can insert bots with MapEdit or
FloEdit, but they're freezed (the AI was disabled for future work)
and the game sometimes freezes or crashes - by default there
aren't bots in game
- the source code can be edited without
having WolfenBots, but the graphics will look bad. It's useful for
people who want only to see how it works - unfortunately I think
that on the next versions this won't be possible again
:-(
I played this version a lot and I didn't find
errors. If something is wrong, please tell me the problem, like
always.
I am making new musics, but I will need an
experienced sprite designer to make directional-shooting enemies (or
they look always to you when firing, instead of looking to the
assigned enemy). I hope someone will give me a hand.
I hope to add these features (plus some other
that I don't know now) to the next version of the game:
- new musics
- directional sprites
- career mode (basics)
- fix the screen resolution bug found in
the alpha #1 when, while playing, you see the high scores and then
return to the game - I don't know why this happens
The project was added to moddb.com some days
ago and now I'm filling the blank spaces. The link is:

WolfenBots' official home page still remains http://texzk.gameprog.it?sez=wb.
Have a great play!
