OK James, what is the current progress of M3? XD
What parts are done, what parts aren't done? Or is the game complete but there are still some critical bugs? Please give a detailed description and a '% done'. Thank you!

I was wondering about that. Maybe he's busy implementing all the suggestions on the 'M3 Wishlist'.

Acknowledged members can upload attachments. Normal members can't.

Basically it stops people who have no interest in Meteor etc joining and uploading junk.

Acknowledged members are people we trust, like yourself!

However some good news will be arriving much much sooner.

Sounds cool about it being 3D, especially after seeing the ROD 3D preview. But I have no experience with 3D modelling, so I'm not sure how difficult editing and making new objects or whatever will be. How difficult is 3D modelling and can you download a program for free that will do it?

EDIT: Wait, hang on--will Solidworks do it?

I think (or hope) it will support both 2D and 3D files. I ever attempted to create a 3D image with milkshape and... it was BAD =P

EDIT: Of course, you can also just import a 2D image in a 3D file.

3d modelling is easy, complex models are slightly more difficult. It just takes a while to make something.
There are a lot of tools to help you do things, although I've only ever had experience with Gmax and Sketch up (which i suck at).
EDIT: I'm not the best at it. but I can whip together this

... and that the graphics of a fan-made mod will probably be more ugly and cube-ish. But I'm sure you can import 2D graphics in Milkshape, so it will be 3D files which look like 2D files. The game will look like GTA then: 3D environment and 2D sprites =D

There are a lot of them, like for example Blender. Ofc, you can also google for 'free 3D modelling' or so, ...
But I know that there are really a lot of free alternatives and I recommend 'Blender'.

OMG GMAX IS FREE!

They created it as a free, cut-down version of 3dsmax.

Download link
http://www.game-maps.net/index.php?action=file&id=530

Registering bypass. You don't have to pay for Gmax, this is just so they can get hold of your email address. As far as I know its legal. Before you start spamming here about ''OMG P1RA73'' please note that Gmax is free-ware! Also note the Disclaimer with the download at the link.
http://www.game-maps.net/index.php?action=file&id=685

Oh and Mrazerty, please learn the ''Editable-mesh modifier''. I'm sorry to say this (and sorry if you are offended) but just a hunk of preset shapes is 3D work of a 8yr old.


here's a tut for you to get started.
http://www.renhelp.net/index.php?mod=Tutorials&action=view&id=21
just stop at the part where he detaches the mesh as cliffs. After that it gets into parts where you need C&C renegade and the Renx extension for Gmax. You probably don't want to model for Renegade anyway.

So, I realise James is probably rather busy getting ROD 3D finished up (beta testing starting in May, I think someone said?), but how's the M3 project coming? Is it on hold because of ROD 3D?

James must not have a lot of spare time, working on all this...

ROD and Meteor 3 = same basic engine (M3 looks nicer but the code is common).

Rod 2 almost there but the more time spent on Rod, the less on M3. They are essentially the same development.

You know, first person mode (Perspective from Ash's eyes) with mouse aim for Meteor 3 would be downright AWESOME. You'll reach a much bigger population with it too.

Sorry I mean Rod 3D and not Rod 2.

Rod 3D contains some "experimental" FPS code which I was playing with last weekend.

Basically its all about performance and projectile heights (up/down firing angles).

When you aim at a helicopter in Rod 3D (even in overhead mode) the projectile will go upwards towards the aircraft visually speaking. However contact and damage is currently appied to a 2D area. I will experimenting with "height restricted" contact and damage soon. This would be nice as I sometimes fire rockets at ground units and hit a bird or something that I can't even see.

Armed with angled projectiles FPS mode becomes possible with mouse aiming. Whether it will feature depends on how well it works technically and whether or not it just ruins the game. However the larger audience and the fact that it looks nicer can n ot be ignored.

Performance can be tricky as there is more to draw in FPS mode because you can see further (it culls off-screen stuff along the view planes). A shorter view distance and fog may come to the rescue there.

James said it was going to be released this summer. I expect that we'll be able to play it somewhere in August or so.

Heyyyyyy.... has anyone taken a look at the picture in James's signature lately? It looks kind of like an almost-ready-to-be-released version of M3... with (could it be really?) elevation and ramps?

Yeah, it seems nice. First I thought of R3D with a human figure but Rod uses a tank so... it must be. Or then he used GIMP :p

Yeah, I thought of R3D as well, especially since the title of the image is rod_screen, but it looks like the player is standing on an elevated walkway. And James has said this:

nicefive (In the Rod 3D forum) wrote:
Actually Rod 3D is fully 3D capable (true 3D), it is simply the terrain that is highly restricting.

I made it "proper 3D" becuase I will using the code for my "next project" which will be, basically, "better" (it will take advantage of this stuff).

I want to keep Rod 3D pretty close to the original game, just as a remake.

The next 3D game will be much less restricted in what you can do.


So it sounds like the photo is of the 'next project' and not of Rod3D.

Hey...I just noticed that you can also see the barrel of a minigun turret sticking out from under the chinook in that picture. And the lights on top of the towers in the top-right seem to be objects, so it looks like you can place objects at different heights in whatever game the shot is from.

Well, yet again, people are talking about how great M3 will be when it's released. The only question is when--so I pose (again) the question: How close is M3 to beta-testing? We haven't heard from James in a while, hopefully that means he's been busy with M3.

James, where are you...?

My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Even that would be good, Rod3D'll be a great game when it's finished. And I think James said that since it uses the same engine as M3, once Rod3D is released, M3 won't be far behind.
