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: http://mods.moddb.com/2557. WolfenBots' official home page still remains http://texzk.gameprog.it?sez=wb.

Have a great play!
