Whats wrong with you people! (non serious tone), i went through this entire post and no one seems to have noticed which for me was the biggest update, the physics improvement! You no longer fall away into the ground when walking, killing units are easier making the weapons feel more respectable and bunkers are near undiggable together with many other additions such as no more empty shell piles and destroyed ships now pile up beter and dont sink into the ground. So basically Cortex Commands physics engine has finaly reached its perfection phase, the game actualy feels like a game and no longer like a simulation of a painful struggle from grass hill to grass hill (not to mention jet pack perfection), something worth celebrating if i was in the dev team. gud luck guys.

Yeah, except those are only side effects of better optimization.
CC didn't run that bad for everyone pre-B26, but I'm glad to hear it's better for some.

Actually, that is one of the best improvements I've noticed recently while testing a nuke.

What was left after the nuke? Oh and either way i think it generaly good to see the physics engine reaching the point of its beta stage where more content development can occure, as it has the past two builds, yet i personally long for the actual cortex command world, the factions, the planet, the brain concept. Things i assume will eventualy take shape once people and the team are happy with the meta game(build 27-28), the perfection of current content (build 26-27) and proms ideas together with the rest of the team is dared on. But i may have something up my sleeve for that...

After the nuke there wasn't much change at all. It had a lot of grenade fragments at over 300 m/s, still, it didn't do a huge hole.

Now I added like 3 times more particles and made a custom one which is heavier, now it rapes like a nuke.

Ah, glad I read the whole thread before posting. Thanks for addressing that. Still, must rehash: Thanks to all who have brought us B26, and are working on the Linux update. Lost my Windows PC to a hdd crash last Christmas (the irony...), and have sorely missed this game on my [FREE_IS_GOOD] Kubuntu machine. It's an old tower, so Wine drowns it easily.

Keep up the fantastic work!

I don't know but this seems to be veeery sluggish on my rig:

i7 x980 3.33ghz hexacore
6gb ram
win 7

I tried a skirmish battle (in 800x600) and it slowed down and crashed after some 10min.

But I think I read some where that preformance was being worked on for the next build, so I guess that's ok!

A little message for Data, whether he reads it or not:

For the next build, can you please release an "engine-only" version? One that does not require any vanilla content, so that we can use it for big overhauls? I feel like I'm always being limited by what is in vanilla that I can't properly overhaul it myself. The RTE is a fabulous engine, now I'd love to be able to make it my own.

Regards, Roast.

i'm going to take a guess at Build 100. But Personally i think Data Should Added Something like what minecraft has An Auto Updater.

Edit - Post out of Date.

B26 is great and all, but why rockets do not obey the "stay" order in this version? Is there any way to fix this?

What stops you from deleting everything except Base.rte, modifying Base.rte however you want and release it?
Edit: Or was releasing parts Base.rte against the rules?

No rules against it, roast is just lazy.

The engine actually relies on some of the data outside of Base.rte, if I remember correctly. So, if you try to strip them away, the game will fail to load.

Isn't that just missions.rte?

Anyways, to test what it requires without deleting anything, just remove the .rte from the folders you're testing CC without.

The game requires every vanilla .rte (excluding whitebots) to have an index.ini, or it crashes. This is wasteful clutter when trying to overhaul, or you have to fiddle about getting your content into the same .rte folders, which limits you in ability somewhat.
