Usually Epic is going 1024x1024 nowadays, which is lame, lol.

But without the 1 gig tfc file, you'll be getting literally 16 pixels, you can't resize that, lol!

Which do you need?

really 1GB? all it does is support some texture files

Yup it's called TEXTURE file cache for a reason, no way am I uploading 1 gig. Jug, the original textures are 2048x2048 but I think the cooking process for consoles PS3 & Xenon it reduces the size. Right now I don't feel like explaining UE3's seekfree cooking process. Come to think of it though, even if the textures are 1024x1024, UE3 does a really good job of scaling the textures up without distortion and such.

better UI for character choose, also bot teammate just stand there no move, need fix, no other big bug met....

Great models port man, next time hope we can choose out teammate, even BOSS enemy locust, lol, thanks....

1. I have added more locust ready for V0.2
2. Thier health has been doubled which tends to make helping Carmines die easily.
3. The Character choice will stay like that incase I port to online gametype.
4. When the locust spawn the bots will start attackng/defending, don't know why that happened to you?
5. There is a BOSS Locust, and his name is General RAAM. every 10 waves he will appear.

I like cheese.

you seem to be the only one who has experienced this. has anyone else got this?

Well, not enemy rush, but in action, one COG bot teammate stand there no move, met once.....


Also the each wave waiting is too long, i thnk just 5- 10 seconds is good enough.......

My Download Manager:
Here

If I get time in future I will program a download manager for you, if I remember this was something I was planning to do for you a couple of months back too.

yeah this was a small thing i did in the meantime for this mod until you made one for me.
also is there a way for it to tell when the download is complete?

EDIT: just found out by myself with how easy Visual Studio 2010 is :P

I just updated the Download Manager so you all need to redownload. Its IMPORTANT you do because it now has a bug report and looks a lot better! :P

EDIT: updated OP with DM pics(Download Manager)

Gotta make it so that it only updates the maps that have been downloaded and not all of the kismet files. I will be working on the content download client too

so is there a "if User has wz_warmachine_k then download lastest one" option?

wow, good luck with that! .INI files are a good way of controlling things...

I have manage to get it to download a version.txt file upon startup which will tell you what the lastest version is and a current.txt which is installed in the installer. that way the person knows what thier version is and the lastest released version.

Nice, basically how the new PWBinaries work so far is that it checks an XML file located on a server for the latest version number and if that version number is higher than the exe's version number then it brings up this form.


This is properties that are in my xml file which is stored on the server. This stores the changelog (update notes), version number and such.


Using an xml is also useful for various server-side changes to your applications like enabling or disabling bug report due to spammers, enabling or disabling downloads and what not. Since I would be using this form for startup announcements also I would control the form's title & hide the download button if I was just making an announcement and could do this through the XML file. I will work on your Download Manager when I have time and done with other projects

Are you using C++ to make that?

added first part of YouTube series to OP.

The map 'HRD20_Menu' doesn't exist, please help i downloaded it and ran the installer and it said it was successful I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
