Gaulish Gaming Banquet: beta-rome-project

Someone had to do it, and of course I also wanted to finish up what was started many many years ago, would be sad if that got left aside and more extensive mods released in the mean time :KEKW:

pegperegogaucho

Very well said 👍

mr.rubinshtein

That is a lot of effort and time sir

mr.rubinshtein

For Cesar's Challenge I wanted to add several difficulties, but the problem was that I would have had to duplicate the level files for each difficulty and that is too much work... Maybe we could add several difficulty options in future mods once the game code is more documented

pegperegogaucho

Beta Rome wasn't actually that difficult, the difficult things luckily turned out to be not so difficult

pegperegogaucho

Most of the time was spent on changing and fixing things :Obelul:

mr.rubinshtein

yeah but in the end it had its fair share of challenges at this point only You and Adrien know how to "talk" with editor and now as well heso but still without you guys that knowledge will be lost and impossible to recover especially when there is no documentation

I gotchu. The data system itself is optimized for speed, so all the data is repeated in each level. I'm thinking we could just have a dedicated directory for all the assets, once.

hesopesomeso

I really don't want to port the original like so, sounds like a lot of work. I assume this could be only for new mods?

hesopesomeso

We could probably only unite models, textures, sounds, etc. Either way, classes like Trio and such need to be copied.

hesopesomeso

Unless they are the same for each level?

pegperegogaucho

Should be possible, they probably had them all as files on the disk which were then compiled into the K** files

pegperegogaucho

So you could just extract them back

The trailer is set to premiere 01.03.2025 18:00 (GMT+1)!

pegperegogaucho

I will probably put the link on there a bit earlier, though...

pegperegogaucho

I just looked at the poll, and @hesopesomeso and @forgotten_in_abyss you guys said no, what's up? What are you not happy with?

hesopesomeso

I feel like some parts aren't quite polished. I was hoping the community could help a bit more- say with level design: we could have been like ELB themselves! And well, I disagree with some ideas, but those are my personal opinions. Though, if you guys are satisfied, no problem! :peepoLove:
