Rain and snow should be easy to add to multiplayer since they don't need to be synced with the other players. I mean, the chance of a snowflake falling in front of you and blinding you is a pretty low chance. As for lightning, why bother actually syncing it? Just pre-randomize about 20 to 50...

Really? I always found the only loud sound effect compared to the music to be the armageddon shield blast. Actually, that sound is so loud it startles me when I accidentally touch an enemy instead of bounce over it. *shrugs* Of course, after playing Sonic CD for the PC and dealing with...

I have the perfect suggestion for Sonic RoboBlast 2! * Stop letting us make suggestions so that you guys can get on with your lives and complete the game! XD I'm sorry, I just had to make that one! ;) --- Gemini

Actually, those sound issues where turning the main SFX volume down affects non-midi music happens in some commercial games. Usually it's because changing the global volume for the selected sound output device also affects the music that's going through the SAME sound output device. In the game...

Ahh, Christmas Mode. Funny how you interpreted it as a problem with the game rather than as something special that happens during the holiday season. Sort of reminds me of a day years ago around this time when I was talking with a friend and just for the heck of it he decided to play Tyrian...

Sideways moving platforms isn't really a bad idea. They pulled it off in Duke3D by just forcing the platform to remain within its original sector. I took heavy advantage of this effect in my level designs by making massive vehicles that moved through a level, circular columns that would crush...

A router is basically a little box that allows multiple computers to share a network connection while at the same time providing port manipulation, or henceforth, a firewall. Firewalls just allow you to control what kind of connections can be made by your computer, and what kind of connections...

I can swear I'm not a hacker too, I have no care to be, but that doesn't negate the fact I know how to be ;) The SRB2 file transfering is likely equivalent in safety to with transfering of files over a chat client like MSN, AIM, or ICQ. However, I suppose it could be possible for someone with...

720x576 is a faily uncommon resolution for people to use, but a standard one that's supported by several newer video cards. Actually, the resolution you may've heard of is 720x540. Oddly enough if one video card doesn't support the 540 one it supports the 576 one and vice versa. My GeForce FX...

It's because in v1.08, even though it's supposed to check which resolutions your monitor is capable of, many of the standard resolutions are mysteriously absent from the OpenGL list and all the ones you can't use are displayed with the ones you can. In my case, because I have Visual C++ 6.0 and...

Let me explain the difficulty of an FOF bulding screening out weather in SRB2. First of all, you have your sector that is the building. You next have your walls around the building which are also sectors, and then you have your outside sectors around all of that. If there were no sector walls...

I find it funny that I have five computers and I never paid for any of them! * Tandy 1000 SX, 8 Mhz, 640 Kb RAM, 20 MB Hard Drive - Obtained when my father purchased a far more powerful system. * Packard Bell 486/DX2 66Mhz, 4 MB RAM, 384 MB Hard Drive - Obtained at the same time as the Tandy...

Geeze, I'm STILL having Sonic-related dreams... last night was a really long quest to find all seven chaos emeralds... we got five of them before the dream ended. All the additional characters put into Sonic X were in the dream as well. The only things I remember about the dream was that after...

Personally, I don't find AI all that challenging to make in my games, just time consuming. I'm willing to bet bots could be put into SRB2 but it would likely take the addition of game elements that really aren't thought through and would take an immense amount of time to add. For example, if a...

I'm like that. Every number is a challenge to deconstruct it into an equation. (This is what happens when you program every day of your life and spend two years as such programming math software.) I think a great birthday present would be to complete SRB2 v1.09 so I can start throwing magnet...

I've been into the Sonic games for the majority of my existence. (17 days away from being 22, been playing Sonic games since the very first one came out.) Needless to say I've had quite the share of Sonic-related dreams. I particularlly like the ones where I'm playing Sonic games that don't...

You know you've been watching too much Sonic X and playing too much SRB2 when you have three dreams in a row in one night related to such things! :o In this first one I was playing SRB2 over the internet on this GBA that had an alphabetic keypad on it. At one point after playing a bit of coop...

Oh boy... what have I done? --- Gemini

That was the point, actually, because SRB2 will go into software OpenGL mode by default if it can't find any hardware for OpenGL, rather than quit out and tell you that there's no hardware OpenGL driver and that you should use the software renderer instead. --- Gemini

You mean like John Romero's head at the end of DooM 2? XD Hey yeah, all of you working on SRB2 should get together some day and do a DevTeam photo and hide it somewhere in the game. A surprising number of games have done something like this. One I can think of off the top of my head is...
