Sky of Verdun 3d - Windows client

[Brainsaw]

This time it's quite a big update. I have enhanced the startup dialog so that you can start the server and connect a recorder, added playback functionality to the Windows client, all score calculation is now done on the server and I also removed some deprecated files. Happy downloading.

Another update for the Sky of Verdun game: some minor fixes, enhanced the playback function quite a lot, and the fire / smoke systems are now working properly. I also added a little manual (first draft ).

A new version is available:

- configuration dialog adjusted
- bot enhanced
- particle system enhanced in Windows native client
- replay enhanced
- all numbers in the messages are now encoded with a base of 64

The site's address has changed to http://dustbin-online.de/index.php?section=30

And I have uploaded a trailer to youtube (already known from the "Irrlicht gameplay videos" thread): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbcKy4oLOSw

Btw: all action in the video is from real gameplay, and no animals were harmed while shooting the video (and the other planes (and the bunkers))

The result of a week of vacation in combination with 2 days of bad weather :

A new version of "Sky of Verdun" is available with support for the Oculus Rift DK2. The new version of the Windows binary does not support the DK1 so I left the old version in for convenience. Download your copy at http://dustbin-online.de/index.php?section=30

On further note: the DK2 integration needs the extended desktop mode. I tried the SDK approach first but didn't get that working

It's been quite a while, but I had some free time during the last couple of weeks, so I took "Sky of Verdun" and recoded some parts. The main part was to enhance the Oculus Rift support included, and imho it's much better now. The pilot is now located in the cockpit. As the Rift DK2 adds positional tracking it turned out to be necessary to add the option to move both the crosshair and the pilot's seat which is now possible. I have updated the homepage (http://dustbin-online.de/index.php?section=30) where you can download the new package, and I have created a video which I uploaded to youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWaLIz4ETvA).

Apart from that I have also done some redesign with the battlefield, it's much bigger now, more trees and more objects to destroy, and I have also added a very ugly hill in the center of the battlefield (cannon.js, the physics engine I use, is the limit there).

Btw: DK1 support is in, but using the Client Rendered approach (just didn't get the SDK rendering working with the Irrlicht engine) the values I get from the SDK (eye to source UV scale, eye to source UV offset) produced wrong results, but after fiddling around with the values for a while I got it working on my computer - I am just not sure if this will work on any other system - it would really be nice if anyone could give it a try and post some impression here

I hope you have fun with the game
