Ok, v0.7.3 out now

[Dead Wake Producer]

Check it out people: www.deadwakegame.com/downloads/

there's some graphics bugs that will be fixed (such as particles don't vanish as they should, ground needs proper material/texture)

It's a version that still needs good amount of work, but I'm quite happy how it turned out (I would have liked to fix certain things, but decided to simply release this). It's a "development version"... and a new one will come pretty soon (before the end of february)

as usually, feel free to comment.

KNOWN BUGS:
- shooting will get better
- no multiplayer at this version

SOME STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW:
- F9 launches level editor... (you can only edit "zombie_mayhem" level, so make a backup copy before you mess too much )


"what's inside"
- ASWD movement
- Reloading (R)
- Stats (press TAB)
- Bit better shooting accuracy (still needs improvement though)
- Small dust particles (to show where you shot)
- Ability to move objects & barricade (use right mouse button)
- In game level editor now saves, loads and does other fancy stuff (press F9 to try it)
- Hints that appear every now and then and tell you how controls work
- Lights (rough)
- Shadows (neat!)
- Flashlight (first version)
- Templater system for game objects (ported from existing code)
- Strafe/movement animations for the player character

P.S: Please let me know if the game works...

Also pres BACKSPACE for debug info (I'd like to know how fast it runs)

Nice, only its a bit foggy, and one big problem. I can't edit the configuration settings. It says It can't find the file path...

beside the odd graphics of the flashlight and the fog the game will crash soon after moving along.

Further i notice the game starts the application twice or somethimes 4 times even:

I guess ATI sucks again? look here for my case

PentiumD 3.75GHz / 2GB RAM /winXP SP2
ATI Radeon X1950GT @ Catalyst 8.12 default setting

Game crashed randomly on moving around and looks like this :

Beside the game seems to open twice or 4 times when i start the game :

I'm getting error when it starts up...

It says OpenAL is not installed

Crashes? does this happen after you die?

I'll see if I can fix that.

Sounds strange. I'll see if I spot this same here.

Have you tried upgrading your drivers?

Yeh, ignore those.

Yea thats the one, once I save it, it says it can't find the location, and I can't save it or create a new one.

[ash2life]

the game crashed always when the timer goes from 30Minutes to 29minutes.it does it without any error or signal the application just closes.

For the ATI drivers 8.12(newest) i downgraded for testing to version 8.8 and 8.3,that was the drivers before openGL2 support or something big they changed and the game didnt even start at all.

Oh dear. That's crazy. Try run with admin rights or something?

Ok, thanks.
