Data Realms - Dev Log » Blog Archive » Let’s start the new year with a bang: Build 20!

Projects: Cortex Command (86)
General DRL (8)

Posted by Data in Cortex Command - January 4th, 2008

KaBOOM! Build 20 is out! Lots of fun explosive stuff in here: proper detonation effects for all the ships, including the rocket!

Other improvements:

Mods (.rte folders) can now be loaded in the trial version, and little more time allowed for skirmishes too
Sound looping bugs fixed, diggers and engines won’t sound after they are destroyed or the AI uses them etc
Various graphical bugs with lines in the background etc on reset fixed
TDExplosives now work properly, the flak cannon’s projectiles always detonate, for example
Various bugs with legs not behaving properly, like the crab tucking etc
New experimental shock absorbing legs on the rocket. Needs some more work
Many more small improvements and tweaks

If you have the previous build 19, you CAN install this directly over it, without unregistering.
(Although you do NOT need build 19 to install this!)

very well, let’s see how it is…

Experimental shock absorbing legs, eh?

I’ll try it, and please,
implement object gravity,

Awesome!
TrouserDemon - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Do I need to Unregister first?
God of Toast - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I don’t think so. It said to just install over it.
Control - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Rocket bouncy legs are too bouncy.

But other than that woo-hoo B20! YAY FOR EXPLODING CRAFT!
red_forman - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
TROUSERDEMON - Yes, you should unregister first. And I did not -_-
Carp - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Woot!
red_forman - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
TROUSERDEMON - Update: No, you don’t have to unregister. I just had to restart the game after registering build 20.
christopher - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets test it.
TrouserDemon - # January 4th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I uninstalled and unregistered first anyway.

This made my day.

Omnimmotus - # January 4th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
HOLY CRAP.

Not sure it’s a good idea to allow mods in the trial though. It’s already easy to remove the timelimit if you know how, so there’s not much being offered in the full version that’s not in the trial now.
Tomaster - # January 4th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Umm, how to you remove the time limit, please tell me(email-tommymak@bellsouth.net)
Turunen45 - # January 4th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
*SCREAM* THANK YOU!! And tomaster, shame on you data-realms deserves every dollar, euro, jen, and every other cash!
Hiro - # January 4th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
You don’t remove the time limit.
You buy the game. Removing the time limit is ILLEGAL.

Channel 4 - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Nice one Data !
No major problems found

Oh yeah by the way HIRO, i’m using computer since 10 years now and i never get any virus I’m also graphic designer, web designer and i code on my spare time with many programming languages. I’m graduated in computer graphics and learned DOS, MacOs, Linux and Windows myself. I only stick to Pc cause is rather cheap and yes : 600€ is damn expensive compared to 200€ mini-Pc with the same specs (never heard about Mini-Pc ? Ooo Poor Boy).

But having budget probably doesn’t concern you since you’re probably a kid (i hope so cf. “20th comment for build 20 lloloololo”). That’s why you’ll probably never build your own machine to minimize cost.

Finally you won’t go very far with this attitude in life. I’ve try to help you with the boot camp solution and you just insult me. This telling your maturity.
Espèce de trou du cul mal formé va donc te faire enculer
Kokits - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Woo! Build 20!

Little dissappounted that there weren’t any new levels, but hey, you win some and you lose some.

About the bouncy legs: they are like the old ones where they move based on if the main engine is on or not, I think they should move based on where the rocket is compared to the ground.

All in all, it’s a great update for 2008!

Hope we see some great new weapons/characters/levels in the days to come!
Kegel - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Dont make the same mistake I did and uninstall the old one first without unregitering….Im a neat freak and always uninstall old versions first. The game wont accept your key if you do this. You MUST unregister the old version before uninstalling (if you do uninstall like me).
ColeScheffler - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Wow…going to download and install as soon as my mom gets off her computer (slows it down).
lmsyhmic - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
awsome, I love explosives and explosions! Hopefully we’ll be seeing rocket launchers soon.
10050 - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
YES!! I am so glad this came out! My vacation last only 2 more days, now they shall be filled with mass b20 destruction! Go data! Keep it up!
God of Toast - # January 4th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
The explosions are awesome.
CCFan - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
When I click on the install B20 icon, I get an ‘access violation’ window.

I have a key, and I’ve tried unregistering just to see if it’d change it, but I can’t access the installation no matter what I do.

Anyone got a fix?
KnightD - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
This is great. I even logged on during new years to see if you would put this out, but 4 days later isn’t that bad.
I hope there’s some awesome new features..
TFSR - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Excellent.
jello - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
uhm….cant install it cuz 19 isnt installed on my pc and when i try to download 19 it gives me 20
jello - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
and uhm channel4…….i dont see why you talkshit about hiro i dont see anything offensive anyway……moi aussi je suis francais faque si il la merité bin…vlan dans les dents vu qu’il comprend riens du francais:P
What - # January 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Damn it. I installed over the old version, without unregistering, now it says it’s still registered else where.
superdigg - # January 4th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
the bouncy rocket legs do indeed need some more work, they’re pretty annoying! nice explosion effects, though!
Foogooman - # January 4th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
OH GOD MY PANTS ARE WET :O
Hiro - # January 4th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Wow channel 4.
First, thanks for the life story. Unfortunately, I didn’t give a crap about it, especially when you tried (and failed) to analyze my “attitude” over two comments on a devlog.
Second, I knew about bootcamp before it even was released, so you can stop waiting for me to graciously thank you like you’re some kind of omniscient benefactor. I’m not using it because I’m not sure I can get a pirated windows XP copy to work with it.
Third, I find it hypocritically hilarious how you try to insult my maturity when you not only don’t know a damn thing about me, but also when you revive a pointless flame war from a previous devlog post rather than act the age you say you are and shut your mouth. Really, you shouldn’t bother with “poor boys” like me, right?
Kegel - # January 4th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Why dont my posts ever show up?
whitty2 - # January 4th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
im probalby going to change my rockets legs back to how they were before. The new ones are glithcy. in my 1st skirmish match, i made a thing like:

I..I
I..I
I..I
I..I
I..I

in the ground. (the “.” is 1×1 open space, the “I” is the wall.) The rocket landed in it sideways, and the legs got snagged or something and twisted the rocket to face the other direction. Like it turned 180 degrees. but the odd part was that the legs only touched it oncwe, and that was when it first got into the thing i made.
NickFury666 - # January 4th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
I love the rocket legs! Now I can land rockets with a little force and not lose health!

Also, YAY FOR EXPLOSIONS!

Also also, DOUBLE YAY FOR FLAK CANNON FIX!

You are so great, data!
Foa - # January 4th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
The leg are a downfall!!!
They bounce the rocket in multiple directions for while!
pownz0r!!!1!one! - # January 5th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Uhhh, i dont understand what it means by ‘install it over build 19′ cuz i try to install it over the B19 folder and i get phail. Can anyone help? Thanks
Data - # January 5th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Kegel: new versions (starting with build 20) will automatically unregister your key when you uninstall the game.

What: send an email to support@datarealms.com and we’ll fix it for you. We are working on making these problems go away
Ophanim - # January 5th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Hey Data, check the General section for a topic called B20! for some gifs I made sowing off the rocket shock absorbers and a few problems.
Ophanim - # January 5th, 2008 at 12:24 am
OH YEAH, and I reported Hiro for piracy to the FBI
Xa - # January 5th, 2008 at 12:47 am
My own AI actor seemed to shoot my brain for some reason.
finairfin - # January 5th, 2008 at 2:40 am
this is excellent. i especially like how you can use the “goto AI’ thing to specify which gold veins you want your miner to dig up. the smarter AI team also makes the game a whole lot more fun.

maybe the rocket legs would be better if they were a little less bouncy? they either need to be so soft that they absorb the entirety of landing impact, or so strong that they barely move. but they don’t really make it any more difficult to play the way they are, so it’s all good.
Ghost Bear - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Oh my god! The best present i got this year!
Striker26 - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:22 am
Data, what should we include in the email because i can’t unregister either. Our key or what?
Striker26 - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:23 am
I mean i can’t register because it’s being used even though i installed over it.
war_man333 - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:28 am
Glad to hear. I’ll begin to mod abit again.
Ghost Bear - # January 5th, 2008 at 4:08 am
Impression: Flak cannon now it weapon of suicide. IMO it should not explode on contact. Same with grenade, better back old one. Or just make another grenade kinda “Retro Grenade” which will act like old. Rocket legs are too bouncy >_< I can’t place my rocket over angled landscape at all. Woohoo! Now jump`n`flip move not hurting clone so much like it was in last build. Rocket explosions make it like an attack rocket. Just 1 rocket into enemy gate and it exploded.
Overall: Nice
Tobeh - # January 5th, 2008 at 4:49 am
Im thinking of unregistering ‘cos I’ve had some problems with registered stuff.

Ghost Bear - # January 5th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Sometimes when rocket landing with little speed it explodes!
FinDude - # January 5th, 2008 at 5:57 am
Sh*t happens…

Fix the damn Gold Dig AI.
Also, make them reasile that its faster to dig
trough 8 meters of dirt than walking 80 meters…

Great release though, bouncy rocketness!
(That blows up!)
PredatorKing - # January 5th, 2008 at 6:08 am
I’m very dissapointed, we had to wait almost a month for a few bug fixes, is that really such a good improvement that you people are willing to wait ages for it?
ninjarat - # January 5th, 2008 at 6:27 am
It’s not like programming is a matter of time. If something breaks for example, it can take even longer to debug than it did to write. Don’t be so ungrateful. DATA is still awesome.
ninjarat - # January 5th, 2008 at 6:34 am
And anyway, it was the freaking holiday, he took some time off.
Shook - # January 5th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Data, i love you. This is so friggin schweet!
The craft explosions makes me drool my desktop all wet…
*Wipes desktop*
That, and the fixed impact explosions, makes this very awesome.
There is one little thing, which is no biggie, but it is a little
weird… When one has the classic keyboard config, the counter
says that there’s 10 buttons instead of 11. Nothing disruptive though.
Steam - # January 5th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Gah, Hiro.
Sorry, but you really do act like such a little big headed kid.
It seems every single time theres an update all i get to read is comments left from you flaming.
No-one cares. If your offended by a comment just leave it and ignore it.
Dev Log does not need to be filled up by seemingly pointless arguements. (like this in fact!) Yes, i know its not completely your fault. others are always having a go at you, but you seem to be provoking it!
No doubt your thinking of trying to reply with some sort of smart assed remark. Just don’t. Theres no point.
Asside from all that, the legs are a tad glitchy but I’m glad that Data is still putting a lot of effort into this still!!!
Keep up the good work!!! =]

Thank you
Teal - # January 5th, 2008 at 10:20 am
great stuff! I haven’t been able to check up on CC since build 17 and it’s changed a lot since then, congrats on getting near a paid release. One problem I did find in this build (don’t know if it was in an earlier one) was that when you have a door or something ghosted before you place it, when it animates it still interacts with the world and cuts an arc through the earth and any buildings. also one of your opponents can do the same easily to take out any of your buildings.
Cevius - # January 5th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Woot!

Not sure if im fond of the springy rocket feet now, and the rockets tend to explode when i leave em too long, giving me no time to move the dudes i just dropped… ah well. I did play this game for the splosions, and theres lot of those!

scuse me while i fill a dropship with crabs and use it as a deep space crustacean shock wave bomb. (appears to be my only tactic for filling in holes, now that ships are too inconsiderate to stay in one piece when scuttled!
XDevil - # January 5th, 2008 at 11:30 am

Dear Steam,
No matter how hard you try to act like a passive peacemaker, and try to make me sound like a pugnacious prat, I will continue to insult people back when they say things so ignorant and idiotic that it shames me to be the same species as them.
Omnimmotus - # January 5th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
@ Hiro

Stop arguing. Now.

Oh, and glorious work on the fixed up rocket, Data.
Hiro - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
@ Omnimmotus

No.
You’re making yourself look stupid by telling me to stop arguing when all I’m doing is responding.
Hiro - # January 5th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
On topic:
There’s way too many gibs for the rockets. I think you should just change it to a few big ones rather than 20 small ones that go zooming around gibbing everything.

Pie2.1 - # January 5th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Hey data. Here are some errors that I think you should fix and some suggestions:

Errors:

-Gold Dig AI
-Frag Grenades aren’t being counted as a weapon when you place them at the beginning.

Suggestions:

-Make grenades shoot fire like the rocket explotions.
-Mabey four different teams? (Like Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow).
-Add Heath packs?
-And finnaly, add water as a terrian.
Ninji - # January 5th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I have a question.
I have 2, yes 2, Cortex Command games on 2 different computers. If I buy a register code, can I use it on BOTH my computers? Thank you.
Pie2.1 - # January 5th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
O’ and another thing… Can you add net play?( a mode that allows you to play other people on the internet).
Pie2.1 - # January 5th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
O’ and another thing… Can you add net play?( a mode that allows you to play other people on the internet).
Carp - # January 5th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
@PIE: Water+pixel physics=massive lag. Blood works b/c there’s only a little of it at a time.
And net play is impossible with current technology as well. Ask again in a few years.
Ninji - # January 5th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
(About build 20)
So THATS why the flak cannon sucked, because it’s ammo was supposed to explode…
Pie2.1 - # January 5th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
@Carp: Dont we have the Technology today to do net play? There is a flashplayer game that has net play.
Carp - # January 5th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Yes net play, no net play with pixel physics. At the very least, we’d need a decent(fiber optic) “series of tubes”(:P), and fairly high-end computers.
t0rento - # January 5th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
This is a nice update, but it sure does make manual hangar landings with the rocket a bit more challenging

hehe, 5 posts AND asking to work on CC.

If your request is a serious one, you may wish to post on the forums. Also, condensing your stuff into one post helps, especially if trying to look impressive.

As far as daniel tabar goes: lol, google (also Data).
Hiro - # January 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
To people wondering about the mac version:
Data has it planned but hasn’t started it yet.
Jay - # January 6th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
You know what CC needs the most? To use the GPU. Not netplay or LAN play, (which cannot happen without a MAJOR overhaul) not water, (again, not possible without an engine overhaul) but GPU support. No kidding.

Sergei: I doubt Data would have a use for you. Nothing personal.
Grif - # January 6th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Jay, the GPU is a pathetic processor, it would lend only minor advantages. The best graphis card you can get might lend 500 mhz of processing power, and even then it’s all optimized for 3d performance, not 2d games with particle counts in the millions.
Turkey - # January 6th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Yeah, but from what I’ve read, GPUs are optimized for multithreading-style computations. I dunno what that has to do about anything, but it sounds useful. I might be talking out of my ass though.
Anders Jenbo - # January 7th, 2008 at 12:53 am
“Sound looping bugs fixed”
yay this was probably the most anoying part of the game.
LetterSix - # January 7th, 2008 at 1:58 am
All right, first of all I’d like to say that this new build rocks and I’m very excited for it’s release.

But now for the problems.

There are a few things that are extreme annoyances for me, the biggest one is the dropships. I hardly get to kill the enemies because they kill themselves and litter the map with dropship parts!

How I’ve dealt with this is one, making the dropships weigh less so they don’t crush their own units, and make them about three times stronger than they normally are. This reduces the amount of their self destruction, but not completely. I’m thinking that perhaps a teleportation beam would work better, that way there’s more units to shoot, and less time keeping underground to take cover from enemy suicide.

Data, perhaps in the next build you could maybe make it so that dropships will not land near another one is? Or, another way to solve this problem might be to make it so that you cannot collide with an ally, like they walk right past eachother, or fly right past eachother.

Whatever you do, please address this problem.

P.S, Cortex Command kicks ass!!!

I just wont THAT somebody have see that ihave done IN CC19 . If i have more powerfull Internet I will make more Interisting and belive me i work at my version of CC at least ONE MONTH
SERGEI - # January 7th, 2008 at 5:49 am
And A BIG THENKS TO DATA REALMS . Because if they not make CC :18 i will never by myself learn about C++.And make CC:18 LIVE. This mod for CC i have made by myself . And ONE more I want to make new friends my Email is Itran2@ukr.net . Please send me some letters I wont to meet more from abroad and make my ENGLISH more Perfect
Ophanim - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Hey Hiro. Fuck off.
Sergei; Data’s doing this by himself, and has been for the past seven years. It’s one-man show, and he doesn’t need anyone else t the moment. But, if you’d like, register at the forums and click the IRC button, and we’d be happy to talk to you and help you out with English!

Tomaster - # January 7th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Two questions though(sorry about the double post)

1: When will you fix the gold digger so it actually digs gold as opposed to pointing the digger straight up in the air?

2: If I have two(2) computers, and I want to put CC on both of them, will I to buy two(2) different keys, or will one do?
Data - # January 7th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
tomaster: you can either keep unregistering and registering on each when you go back and forth, or buy another key to avoid that hassle.

Hey Data Just saying Maybe In The Next Few Builds you could Add the Feature to be able to pick up your brain. Like your surrounded and Need to Grab your brain and get the heck out of there and place it somewhere else so the enemys have to try to get to the clone running With the brain…..But Yea Love Build 20

Pie2.1 - # January 7th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Hey Data, can u make the grenades make rocket flames intsead of bullets?
Hiro - # January 7th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
@ Carp: Because it’s FUN. Exercises the debate skills.
Oh yes, the grenades need bigger explosions, but not rocket flames. Cuz frag (fragmentation) grenades kill people by throwing bits of twisty metal at you really fast and not by burning you.
Tomaster - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
One last final question, can you please, please, please have an option on the next build not to have rocket gibs and bouncy legs, cause, in the past, if i got bored with CC, i would just throw rockets around, crushing people, but now I cant do that, and it’s not quite as much fun, and as for the bouncy legs, just please, take them off. (everyone else, feel free to praise and/or flame me for that wonderful suggestion )
Carp - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
@Hiro: Debate skills. That’s funny, and a little sad. Most of your arguments are composed entirely of fallacies, or irrelevant unprovoked personal attacks.
@Tomaster: This is Cortex Command you’re talking about. There’s probably at least one “old school rockets” mod available. If not, there’ll be one soon.
Pie2.1 - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
if you buy a register key, can you use it in futher versions? Or do you need to buy another.
the adviser - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
hmmmm…

lets see new doors, new actors, new pie menu, and new vehicle gibs, but not a single new grenade. i’m not very unhappy cause i can just pick up a MASSIVE grenade mod on the forums, but still i think there should be some new grenades. such as clusters or maybe even if you wanted a special nuke grenade. just my 2 cents
the adviser - # January 7th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
@ Pie2.1
here is the overview of keys.

Normal price key: may work on only one FULL INSTALLATION NOT VERSION of cortex command throughout the development of cc(although from what DATA said you have to buy all expansions separetly(no seprise there)). so if you buy at B20 and then get B25 your key will work if you un-register you B20 version.
Support version: same as above just way more expensive.
SERGEI - # January 8th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Data PLEASE MAKE CC that not work without connecting to Internet . In our Contry it is very expensive
SERGEI - # January 8th, 2008 at 1:37 am

Darklink… email the name you ordered under to support@datarealms.com
the adviser - # January 9th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
for all you wondering why net play would be impossible.

Net play would be impossible because this game is heavy on the physics and uses a particle which for it to work properly every players computer would have to be synchronized down to a small fraction of a second between them because the particles would have to synchronize every pixel. otherwise the game would take about a minute for a single frame cause that game needs everything to synchronize before it can play.
Darklink - # January 10th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Okay, I sent the email. Thanks Data, I can’t wait to play the game without that 6 min time limit

P.S. if you are offended by that quote of mine i’m sorry but i just had to post it while talking about the robopope

Hiro - # January 15th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Hey Adviser, say that to the Pope, and he’d say something along the lines of:
if there was no God, there would be no WORLD.
Nice try, but like all “witty” anti-religion quotes, they’re all based on how they sound at first. ^_^
Carp - # January 15th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
The Pope could /say/ that, but that proves nothing. The world’s existence is fact, but God(s)’s having anything to do with it can’t be disproved, and certainly hasn’t been proved. Either way, it’s an…assumption, a postulate, a matter of faith, immune to proof and thus argument.
So, please, no religion vs. atheism debates. Especially not on the devlog.
trolleydude - # January 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Robopope would concur.
Rerailed.
Hiro - # January 16th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
You miss the point. He stated that God created the Devil making the world a bad place, so by saying God created the devil, he also affirmed that God exists. I can’t explain it to you better than that, sorry.

As for proof, please read up on the miracle at Fatima witnessed by ten thousand people, some of whom were scientists and non-believers. Don’t try to explain it away with “mass hypnotism/hallucination and sundogs”. I probably wouldn’t believe in God unless there was evidence like this.

PS: If you really didn’t want a religion vs. atheism debate, maybe you shouldn’t have debated?
Carp - # January 16th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
*sigh*
No, you miss /my/ point. The Pope would be right based on his assumptions, and Adviser would be right by his. No amount of clever logical fallacies can prove either of them correct or wrong. I never said there was or wasn’t a God, and while I don’t /believe/ there’s one, I know better than to state it as debatable fact.
(That Lady of Fatima stuff is kinda impressive; I can totally understand how you believe.)
the adviser - # January 16th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
sorry bout that quote it wasn’t even mine it was a friends and it was on the grounds of something like would you rather have a nice guy who doesn’t interfere and a mean guy that does or have no one there to bother/help you at all(cause so far i haven’t seen miracles just tragedies ex: 911, katrina, tsunami east of africa, etc.)? also i mean can you really blame me for posting the quote while talking about the robopope and i’m an atheist anyways. while i’m sorry for the offended i kind of hope you see at least the slightest sliver of sense in it.

@Witty2: i wasn’t spamming the devlog i was making new content to be read besides I was bored. there was nothing new so i posted again and i thought of the post as an expansion to the original.
the adviser - # January 16th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
(picks up flame shield and prepares to be barbecued by lots of Christians) remember i didn’t come up with it and i have read at least 7 books that contradict gods existence.

I could read double that amount that prove God’s existence.
One of them = the bible

Hellfire999 - # January 16th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
The Bible is not the word of god. It was created by some priests. Stupid zealous catholic. For instance evolution contradics Adam and Eve and evolution HAS BEEN PROVEN by science. The stories were just to enforce good morals. Also that is not hypocrisy what Adviser said. Go to a fucking learning tree you little shit. Adviser did his research and came up with his own opinions instead of listening to stupid paranormal conspiracies and sermons. Also I’m not saying God doesn’t exist I’m saying the bible is pure BS. Maybe God or a higher power triggered the big bang (also has more proof than the bible’s bs) or maybe he lead the process of evolution but IMHO God doesn’t exist and I believe the paranormal events at Fatima to be a vision and the wheather change was a coincidence. The people’s religous paranoia made them think it was the virgin Mary. Also I shall qoute one article “she was invisible to ALL EXCEPT THE CHILDREN”. You are so goddamned gullible aren’t you
the adviser - # January 16th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
yes i agree lets end this debate already i just gave into temptation and posted it so yes end. that and i was just saying i didn’t believe in god and thats it nothing more nothing less so believe what you wish such as CC owns!!!

Finally back on topic: I swear this game is going to be more famous than command and conquer when it’s done
whitty2 - # January 16th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
@Hellfire999:

So evolution says everything was created by accident, and humans are a result of that. Take Freshman Biology 1 class, and you will see just how IMPOSSIBLE it is for something as complex as humans to be made by accident.

Also:
The bible was not written DIRECTLY by God, but istead he insired people to write it for him. The only thing he actually wrote was the 10 commandments, which Moses shattered.

@The Advisor:
Yes, we all know that. It already is. Lern2Google.
the adviser - # January 16th, 2008 at 10:23 pm

whitty2 - # January 16th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
i dont really care what you said, i am clearing up a facts for everyone and hereby ending this discussion.
Carp - # January 16th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
@Whitty2: Sure, ending the discussion after you get the last word in. How polite. *eyeroll*

Not impossible, just astronomically improbable. But as a matter of fact, that’s /exactly/ the kind of scale we’re talking about here(ever heard of the anthropic principle?); there are plenty of planets, no doubt trillions, without life. That there’s life on one of them, in a universe that is itself about 14 billion years old, isn’t impossible without God.

All that said, if you believe God did it, I won’t-can’t contradict you. But I won’t let you getting away with claiming it’s impossible otherwise because that is /simply/ /not/ /true/.

@Hellfire: Quit flaming. You can have your opinion, you can even say it, but calling people “gullible”, “stupid” and “(over-)zealous” can only lead to suffering.

@Rott-N-Cod: we dropped that debate already and besides I fail to see what knowing whats on TV has to do with god.

@Daman: I agree net play is quite possible perhaps but you would still need a very good internet connection. I also didn’t do any research so I don’t care about whats said about that particular post I just put my 2 cents(not referring to I.Q.)in.
Ziggle - # January 18th, 2008 at 10:32 am

Discussions about God/no God are great!
If God truly exists then who amde God? Has he always “been”?
Why aren’t we “forever” etc… so many questions. None of which can be answered. Only the words of others can be disproved. The facts from faith. Though, not the questions raised. interesting isn’t it! =]
Also confusing!?! XD
Nice build but i think we should have rockets that gib faaar less than they already do. Maybe less bounce too.
Otherwise, I like it!

Hellfire999 - # January 18th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
@ Whitty2 “God” inspired a piece of literature? No, someone wrote the story about Moses and every other fucking thing to enforce good morals. Bitch please. Also humans were technically made by “accident” through millions of years of genetic mutation. You obviously don’t know anything about biology and evolution, stupid fuck, oh that’s right your fucked up church never lets you learn the truth about evolution. I won’t let a retard like you “end the conversation”. Devolop your own opinions instead of kissing your pastor’s/parents’ asses and regurgitating everything they say.

And it’d be better if you didn’t flame at all. (Don’t even try telling me “he started it.” If you can touchtype you’re old enough to know better. If you’re so much better than those dastardly Christians “shoving their religion down your throat”, then /you/ be the bigger man.)

me game broken becouse i tried to change time
Skiv - # January 19th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Well thats what you get for pirating a game.
Tomaster - # January 19th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Can someone please show me where an old school, non gibbable rocket might be found???
Hiro - # January 19th, 2008 at 10:59 am
God did not make evolution, because God created man in his OWN IMAGE, and God is not a monkey, GOD IS NOT A MONKEY!

And to Hellfire:
It’s not karma dumbass, it’s called the emulator lagging up the system so that you can’t close it in time. Fortunately, I still have a copy of both parallels and Windows XP, so I can start it back up whenever I wish. Karma, huh?
Nice job on reviving the religion debate also. Stop trying to shove your beliefs down our throats, you hypocrite.

If the price of CC goes up significantly by the time the mac version is out, I -won’t- be paying for it. Interpret that how you will.
Hellfire999 - # January 19th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Actually whitty2, hiro, adviser and you got in some argument about God out of some silly qoute. I abstained until people started trying to preach and I wouldn’t dare let a retard finish the argument like whitty2 and hiro did.
Hellfire999 - # January 19th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
@Tomaster, Why? I love the gibbable rockets, makes it realistic.
Tomaster - # January 19th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
becuase, i prefer watching the rocket flip and tumble all over the place, makes it much funner for me, sometimes realism isnt everything, what if they found a super dense and hard alloy that can withstand brutal punishment.(Im still waiting for the link though)
Hellfire999 - # January 19th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Tomaster, good point although I prefer clones to get ripped to pieces by the shrapnel. Or maybe it could tumble a bit before sploding because sometimes it is no fun having it go boom on impact.

What would be cool if materials could be deformed instead of just breaking off in little particles. That reminds me, would it be possible to make slightly “sticky” substances like mud or blood and make particles of it stick to actors? I would love to see a mud covered drop ship or an actor with muddy boots covered in blood or a base interior covered with blood. Also it would be cool if blood could act more liquid like instead of disappearing when an actor steps on it and shells could be kicked around.
/end graphics rant
Tomaster - # January 19th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
i would like it if they would be deformed, but i know that is beyond the current engine(or even any engine)
Hiro - # January 19th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Hey Hellfire, here’s a little tip: Only cry when there’s something to cry about. ;D
Maybe next time blink back those tears. Don’t scream insults at people because you wouldn’t ever DARE (Oh! The very IDEA!) to let them voice their opinions in response to a blatantly inflammatory posts like adviser’s.

When you say anti-Christian things, you’re criticizing religion. When you say pro-Christian things, you’re “preaching like a damn moralistic bastardface shoving beliefs down our throats ahhh radical zealots are choking me”. What a sad little web humans have weaved.
MrX - # January 20th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Hey ladies, shut your mouth’s.
Tomaster - # January 20th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Why is it that no matter what the devlog is about, all the comments end up deteriorating into flaming?
Metal Chao - # January 20th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Hay Data, though I doubt you read this, good job
Can you make a better registration thing a priority though please? I kinda want the game on both of my computers >_>

Also, hellfire, please reread this whole thing.
Nobody was trying to convert anybody else.
Oh, except you.
lazyfaith - # January 20th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I think you should make the game have a 5 day free trial then it stops working, i personaly don’t think 6 minutes is enought o evaluate a game. I would say 30 days like other programs but because the game isn’t huge yet you wont want to wait long for the money
Hiro - # January 20th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Tomaster:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Hiro - # January 20th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Lazyfaith:
You have unlimited time to test the game.
Just because the skirmish has to restart after six minutes doesn’t mean you’re missing anything. It’s not like a boss shows up after a while, it’s just enemies coming down continuously, so stop trying to get more free fun off of Data.
Tomaster - # January 20th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
@Hiro
Huh??? What does Thermodynamics have to do with a devlog?
whitty2 - # January 20th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
@tomaster: it doesnt’t, he just wants to feel smart.

remember, people like Hiro who flame people on a freaking DEVELOPMENT LOG are actually fat loser people in real life. Or just a loser. or an antisocial midget living in his mom’s basement.
Carp - # January 20th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Besides the second law of thermodynamics(which /does/ have to do with the devlog, if you get the metaphor), there’s the fact that there’s only so much in the post to be discussed, and once that’s done…if Data spend a lot more time on the Devlog, gave people lots of neat little things to discuss, maybe it’d be a bit more OT.
Of course, most of us would probably want him to just keep cranking out those builds. I know I would.
Tomaster - # January 20th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I actually would like to see an antisocial midget… actually i have, in benchwarmers
whitty2 - # January 20th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
that is EXACTLY where i got that idea from XD

Data, we need an update on somethin!
Cighton - # January 21st, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Holy.. crap! I got the game this FRIDAY! Im happy
Hiro - # January 21st, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Actually Whitty, it’s presumptuous assholes like yourself who profess to know people in real life when in fact you haven’t got a damn clue about who I am ^_^. Give me one reason why arguing with text makes you a loser, you moronic monkeyshit.

I brought up thermodynamics to feel smart? Congratulations dumbass, because you just said having a 5th grade level education makes you smart. If that’s what you call smart, I feel bad for you. It must suck being stuck in third grade, huh? ;(

P.S. You do realize you just said flamers are losers, and flamed me in the same post, right? Hypocrisy 2 da max, whitless shitbrain. ;D
whitty2 - # January 21st, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Thank you, Hiro. You sure handled that maturely. You are now proving to everyone who reads the DevLog that you are a dumbass who spends his whole day trying to flame people and likes to start arguments over the smallest little thing.

Congratulations. Want a cookie?
the adviser - # January 21st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I hope that DATA finishes enough stuff soon so they make another build. I would be happy even if it just made the actors take shits every 5 minutes and robots get rust up in 6 minutes(coincidence? I think not).
Hiro - # January 21st, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Oh, I see what you did there.
You realized that you just made a complete fool of yourself, discovered that you were the moron all along, made up another lie about me, and then tried to make me look stupid by calling talking to me like I was the same age as you. All of this while completely ignoring all the huge flaws in your little tirade.

Congratulations. You -don’t- get a cookie, little one. ;-{
whitty2 - # January 21st, 2008 at 8:50 pm
OK Hiro, think what you want. I won and you know it. So stop acting like an immature prick (again) and moceon with your life. Let people speak their minds on the DevLog without some retarted asshole telling them thier idea will never work, or “Z0mg u sto0pid n3wb d@ts imp0$$ible”. Nobody wants you here. Just leave.

And no, I don’t get a cookie from you. How the hell can you send someone a cookie via internet? Hmm….
Carp - # January 21st, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Both of you, cut it out. It was tolerable when it resembled a debate, but this is just childish.
Hiro - # January 21st, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Whitty2: Congratulations. Want a cookie?

Whitty2 again: And no, I don’t get a cookie from you. How the hell can you send someone a cookie via internet? Hmm….

You lose, whitless

You keep making these claims on how immature I am, when it’s quite plain that you’re just going “lalala i can’t heer u i win this argument!”
Seriously you moron, you have not made a single point against me. You’ve just been saying over and over “ur a prick get a life loser u post too much”. I don’t -get- you.
Hiro - # January 21st, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Double WTF:
Telling people their ideas will never work?
I think I said that a few devlogs posts back when some newbie was demanding that data implement things we already had such as zombie bombs.
And holy shit man, that was nearly a full three months ago, November 6th. You really do hold a grudge pretty long for someone who wasn’t even part of the frickin’ argument that you’re bitching at me for.
Sheez. ‘_’
whitty2 - # January 22nd, 2008 at 6:41 am
He he. Here he is again, trying to act all smart and mighty.

You do know that you look like a total dumbass doing all this, right? There is no point to it and we all want you gone.
Ziggle - # January 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 am
Hiro, why do you do this!?!
actually, don’t answer that. Becasue every time you say something its a long pointless arguement of flaming and just plain stupidity. I don’t think anyone really wants you on the devlog. I hardly ever post but the situation is ridiculous now. Every time i load up the devlog theres a post from you causing arguements or flaming. You may have many points to give but i don’t really think anyone gives a damn about them anymore. Yes, you are allowed to have your opinions on matters. BUT! no one wants to know them anymore.
Don’t bother thinking of a clever response in which you try and make me sound small and pathetic. I know i’m not =] (hence not resorting to insults like others who have lost it!)
You are no better than anyone else here. On devlog, no-one is (cept Data of course)
Just stick to talking about the damn game and take your arguements else-where.
(if you don’t respond then you won’t have to be in an arguement will you eh!?!)
I’m pretty sure others agree.
Hopefully this long winded post will be worth it and not take up space for nothing.
=]

Ziggle Piggle.
Upia - # January 22nd, 2008 at 11:26 am
Nice words Ziggle, agree completely.

And whats the news on the new build data?
Hiro - # January 22nd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Wow, I’m touched that you spent so much time on writing all that.
Sadly, I read the first sentence, saw that it was trash, and started typing this.
Tomaster - # January 22nd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I LIKE BANNANAS!!!!!!
Tomaster - # January 22nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Additionally, can’t we all just shut up, and just wait for Data to release the next build???
the adviser - # January 22nd, 2008 at 4:08 pm
true I mean I can understand over 250 posts for the first retail version, but how long can a discussion go on about a few changes…

although if I count out the debates and all that I see about 100 or so. So that means over half the posts are involved in flame wars. My response to this problem…
the adviser - # January 22nd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
HIRO AND WITTY2 SHUT UP AND GO PLAY THE GAME OR TRY TO DO SOMETHING BESIDES PRETENDING THIS IS AT ALL RELEVANT TO THE DEV LOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that thats out of my system I’m going to leave.
AOSDK - # January 22nd, 2008 at 6:49 pm
nice idea, abit of a rip from soldat and worms, with physics added and a good weapon/item buying system….And the pixel/physics style is kool, but not if the performance is crap!

…you gotta wonder what sort of shit beta feedback they have been getting to get to this stage. Controlling/Options(lack of) /Performance/AI/ absolutely suck.There isn’t even any gpu acceleration either, which is just stupid.

Go and remake the game.
whitty2 - # January 22nd, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Thank you Ziggle, Tomaster, and The Adviser. Have a nice day. But really. Thanks. Now that Hiro knows he is unwanted, he will most likely stop posting or be IP banned from the DevLog.

I’ll only post now about the game which I loooooooove soooooo much.

Hiro: STFU/GTFO

Bye-bye.
Tomaster - # January 22nd, 2008 at 7:23 pm
HURRAH, hopefully this war that has claimed millions has ended!!!!! Everyone, HURRAHHHH
Hiro - # January 22nd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Haha I’m sorry whitty but don’t you realize I don’t give a shit if I’m not wanted? I’ll still insult you back every time you try to flame me.
Here’s the solution:
Don’t insult me like you just did now, and I won’t have a reason to insult you.

And did the guy who just started a huge religious debate with an inflammatory post just tell ME to say things relevant to CC? Oh dear, yes he did. Also Adviser, I -can’t- play the game because Data hasn’t gotten around to making a mac version yet.
Hellfire999 - # January 22nd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I think it would be amusing if I could get 4/7chan to raid this site…
Electroclan - # January 22nd, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Anything remotely busy happens to datarealms.com, Hellfire999, and I’ll see to it you never come back.

Data: I beg of you. Remove this comment feature/scourge; Maybe appoint moderators, something please!! The sheer amount of crap that fills these comments rival youtube. It is an extremely poor first impression for someone who is interested in joining the datarealms community.
whitty2 - # January 22nd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
I 2nd electro’s idea
Tomaster - # January 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 am
I 3rd it
Skiv - # January 23rd, 2008 at 9:47 am
4th it. Give someone the will to ban IPs emails, or atleast someone from the forums to be in charge here
Alkama - # January 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
5th it.
I would like to read Cortex Command related informations here !
IP ban and moderation please ! On the forum too or then select the best mod/map and publish them on the wiki cause the CC community is too puerile.
carpet_ninja - # January 23rd, 2008 at 12:02 pm
please post an update data, then the flame wars will stop (i hope) cause there will be something different to talk about.

i 5th electroclans idea
XDevil - # January 23rd, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Data pls post next tread
p.s. can i turn the 6 min up? *g* joke…
nice build!
Tomaster - # January 23rd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Can you give us some meaningless update that does nothing what so ever except end this stupid, meaningless, and immature flame war.
Hiro - # January 23rd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I fifth it.
Carp - # January 23rd, 2008 at 3:24 pm
6th.
Woot for petitions.
Ziggle - # January 23rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
I agree. Data, Moderate the devlog please.
And yes, it was kinda trashy but you got the message.
Though “I don’t give a shit if I’m not wanted? I’ll still insult you back every time” proves you don’t care.
Just lay off the insults Hiro.
If you talked more about the game and less flaming then maybe people wouldn’t want you to go so much!!
And Data will get round to doing a mac version when he feels comfortable. =]

Ziggle Piggle.
the adviser - # January 23rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
actually i didn’t start that particular flame war. All i did was post a dumb quote my friend made up, and what I said was actually quite relevant to my post because my post while a bit random it was about a mod in CC that has the robopope in it, and is therefore relevant to CC. Now while on the topic of that actor I remembered a something my friend said, and thought that it was amusing so i posted it. That is when you began to debate over it.

@whitty2: that post was directed at you to you know right???? Also I have come up with a formula that as I see works very very well.

Hiro=fuel
whitty2=igniter

hiro+whitty2=flame

Anyone see a flaw in this formula cause I mainly see whitty2 flaming with hiro more than anyone else really.

on topic: 7th I fully agree, and for anyone who says “but you were part of the flame wars too…” I would have preferred not to be.
Hellfire999 - # January 23rd, 2008 at 5:42 pm
lol @ hypocrites
ban885 - # January 23rd, 2008 at 6:28 pm
keep up the good work data
Tomaster - # January 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I have a small addition to Advisor’s formula

Hiro=Fuel
Whitty2=Igniter
Hiro+Whitty2=Flame
Data(Hopefully)=Fist of smiting(or water, whatever you want)
Carp - # January 23rd, 2008 at 7:27 pm
No, Adviser, if I’m not mistaken you’re 8th(Ziggle being #7).
the adviser - # January 23rd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Yay! I havn’t been flamed by anyone yet(don’t use this as an invitation to flame me)

Silly me, but I was just looking for the 2nd,3rd,4th,etc.

I have also slightly modified my formula to better suit what goes on

Hiro=flammable object
Whitty2=pyromaniac with lighter
Most everyone else=someone who drops the match by accident
DATA=fire department(hopefully if he says something about the flames)

H+W=forest fire
H+MEE=burning rug
H+DATA(cause DATA is special)=lowers flammability(maybe)
H+W+DATA=fire brigade
H+MEE+DATA=guy with bucket
Anonymous - # January 24th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Wow, almost a month and no update… not even a new post, not to speak of the game. *zzzzZZZZ*
