Okay, so you run around, 'ooh' and 'aah' over the EMBM efect and ... is that all. I managed to get HUD and FPS counter + my hand and weapon (without texture ) but that's all about it. Hey someone tell the authors of Hired Team to work faster. It looks realy nice.

now if we could get them to put EMBM into Unreal II

Hello, people!
I'm project leader of Hired Team: Trial!
This demo version we specially prepare for Matrox and we did not have enough time and that is why made this demo within one week.
But the game is near to complete.

[Muad'Dib]

RudyBear - well, I must say, keep up the good work. I do however, have a question. Maybe it's because you put it together in one week (or it could just be my drivers), but even at 800x600 embm off, the game is a little choppy sometimes (Such as during a sharp turn). I'm using a MAX on an Athlon 700 with 196 megs ram. Other than that, it looks incredible. Way to go!

Dimitri

P.S.: Impact, how did you manage to get the HUD/... to show up? All I can do is walk around and "ooh" and "ahh"

Check the demo directories, in the SYSTEM dir (I think, I don't have the demo installed here right here right now) there are some configuration files (.cfg or .ini). Open them in notepad, in one of them, there you can find a section that has

showfps = 1
showHUD = 0


and change the showhud to 1.

To get the weapon, find an entry called

hand = 0

and change it to 1. But the hand with weapon is about 5-10 fps performance hit.

If you did it right, then when the game starts, you'll see an ammo and weapons counter and fps counter.

I guess it's just those endless Quake 2 (Gloom to be exact) hours of cfg editing that really teach how to edit any type of cfg. After writing endless team chat .cfgs, the knowledge does show up sometimes.

BTW: Muad'Dib, i'm pretty sure we've met before on edome servers.

[Muad'Dib]

Thanks Impact. It's a very good possibility that we have met, but just for clarification, what the heck is an edome server!?! hehe

Dimitri

[impact]

eDome A or B are those finnish Gloom servers that I sometimes play on. (they were also called Inet A and B before - gloom.quake2.inet.fi with different ports) But I might remember your name from the teamreaction forum. I am not sure. Nevermind.

[RudyBear]

Dimitri,
Yes, we know about this problem. Something in the new Martox's drivers...

[Muad'Dib]

I'm glad to know the problem is being looked at.

Impact, thanks for clarifying. Now I know for sure that you don't know me from that...

Dimitri

[impact]

heh, your nick is widely used then...

[Kruzin]

Yea...when you "borrow" the name of a hero from a popular film/book, there's bound to be others equally un-original out there
