Is "THE LIST" still beeing updated?

shade · June 27, 2001, 18:37

Well the title says it all.
I'm just a lone programmer who's building his own Civ-game and is looking for new idea's.
(geez that list was bigger than i thought => 127 p in a word doc

)
I've got a lot of idea's of my own but i'm always open for sugestions,never to old to learn.

thx

shade · June 27, 2001, 18:54

Delphi(pascal)
the mapeditor is already finished

No, the "List" got to version 2 and stopped (thank God!). Its purpose was to present Firaxis with ideas BEFORE any real development began. Feel free to use it...but don't forget to mention us when you become a world-class game progammer.

Inverse Icarus · June 27, 2001, 20:19

don't know PASCAL or DELPHI

c, vb, php, asp

Provost Harrison · June 28, 2001, 05:29

ENGLISH, a bit of FRENCH and a few words in GERMAN

shade · June 28, 2001, 06:16

Yin: is that http://apolyton.net/civ3/suggestions/thelist/ is this version2?
(or is there a more recent one?)
me world-class game programmer ,hehe,that would be nice

but i will include this site in the "thank U list" is that alright?

UberKrux:for the moment it's only Delphi(=visual pascal) that i'm using but i would like to do some parts in C.
But first i'll have to figure out how to connect the 2 languages.
(this project is mostly a learning experience,it will probably include every major part of gameprogramming there is,so i still have much to learn)
Date of gamecompletion=> somewhere in the 21 century ,i hope

Provost Harrison:English that's not that different from Pascal

I come to help you, hope Yin26 doesn't take offence

No, you are pointing to v.1 of the List, the only one in HTML format.
You can download the full v.2 only in Word format (AFAIK), jumping to http://apolyton.net/civ3/ and chosing the proper link from the "Download" area (right column of the page above).

Thanks, AN! Yes, the second version is QUITE a bit larger...

shade · June 28, 2001, 09:32

thx,just took a look at it

the second version a bit bigger!!!!!
that's an understatement
version one=> 107 pages in my word
version 2=> pages:478
words:164713
lines:16216
Whaaaaa

i gues i will stick to the first version for print
but i'll keep the second within range on my computer,maybe i'll ever get the courage to read it.

when i asked for a more recent version i thought that it might be 10 pages or so larger but this is x5

You ppl are really in this game geez.

If i ever need testingplayers(in 10 years or so) i will surely announce it here.

thanx,now i'm going to continue printing and filter out the things i'll try to use

shade- what is the webaddress for your project?
It sounds interesting...

shade · June 28, 2001, 18:05

DC: web adres??
still working on that,on of the coming days my website should get up.
I'll post the adres here when it's up and running,but don't expect to much,i never build a site before.

But don't worry,i think you'll hear about my project on this site from time to time i hope.

shade: i havent programmed much in C, just my shotty ass highschool course (im a senior in HS now).

i'd love to learn this though, i'm going to college for computer programming, i want to work for blizzard one day

.

anyway...

i'd love to be your webmaster if you need o-e. i got tons of time and a few skills you could tap into.

BTW, my smileys kick your smileys asses.

what are THEY doing?

shade · June 28, 2001, 18:41

Crux:thx for the proposition to be my webmaster,but i first want to try it myself.(no offence but i'm kinda control freack=> the only way to do something perfect is doing it yourself)

what those smillies are doing=> I JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW

(Be happy you don't have to help me with my programming,it's sorta messy,other ppl freack out if they see it

But it always works perfect(or something very close to that))

Shade

Inverse Icarus · June 28, 2001, 20:51

oh well.

im here if you need me, i'll be coding useless crap for a while.

ANOTHER KRUX SMILEY

shade · June 29, 2001, 08:09

ok,i'll remember you if i need you,thx.

Remember the things you program are only useless crap if you don't finish the project or if you're not having fun programming it.

nice smillies=> how does one do such things?

shade

DarkCloud · June 29, 2001, 12:22

He probably edited them off-line and then uploaded them as clip-art. Good luck with your project.

shade · July 5, 2001, 08:36

Phew:it's finished,the site I mean.
for those who are interested come and take a look here .let me know what you think of it.

I'll try to keep it as updated as possible,and as I already said all comment is welcome.

Your humble servant Shade

Rasputin · July 5, 2001, 10:09

doing well shade... try to not include all the **** ideas that make the game too real, keep a balance between realsim and fun leaning more towards fun !!! IMHO

shade · July 6, 2001, 07:49

I'll try.
I'll put a list of things i want to include on the site(one of these days),comment is always welcome,hey ppl i really need you for that.

My goal is trying to make your controle on the game as good as possible(eg ability to ask a foreign unit to withdraw without the change to get the message:'we have no need for your endless chatter,now be gone")
and i'll try to get the civilopedia as real as possible(future techs that are possible and such)=>just the information for the ppl who are interested.

grtz

TechWins · July 7, 2001, 07:28

What you're doing Shade is really cool.

Gramphos · July 7, 2001, 10:45

Shade: You should probably fix the spelling of Firaxis before they change Civ 3 to a game underground with Fire along the axis.

And just don't forget to add Predefined Games.
Edit: Spell error

shade · July 8, 2001, 08:07

Gramphos:thx for the spellingcheck,i was already affraid something like that happend,i'll change it as fast as possible(hopefully tonight)

Predefined gamesettings=> that's a great idea,i hadn't thought about that,and it looks very usefull.I will certainly include it thx.
(your name gets in the credits

(btw comments or spelling mistakes can always be reported through the maillink on the site)
shade

shade · July 9, 2001, 06:03

Voila,Fireaxis=>Firaxis
and a list with hoped features is also added.

(btw if you ever again find any typos please let me know so i can fix them

)
