Chronic Logic

Hey everyone,

As some of you know, a special IRC channel is open for the beta testers. But as the beta test comes to an end the channel will also be open for non-beta testers! I hope the people from CL will idle/be active in the channel too like Josiah is/was doing during the beta test.

Questions can be directly asked there and i bet people there will be glad to help you. But if you're lucky someone from CL will be in the channel too and answer your question. Highscores and contests can be discussed, and people who create levels can talk to eachother and send files directly. Just pay a visit and see http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You can find me there with the nickname: 'hw|Blue'

IRC info:

network: quakenet
channel: #pontifex
(http://www.mirc.com" target='_blank'>http://www.mirc.com for the client)

I hope everybody knows what  Mirc is http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> But is it not an idea if we start a pontifex channel or something? For the beta test to start with, much easier to discuss a problem there.

I already use Mirc for my counterstrike clan. And i'm running a bot myself. So I'll start a mirc channel now. And see if some people join.

For the people who dont know Mirc:
It's a program used by communities, it's a place where people meet in a kind of chatroom. Not just a chatroom! It's so much more. You have operators wich control the channel, and people join and talk or just idle there. It's just a place where you can find people with the same intrest and directly chat with them. It can really boost a community and make it a bit more personal.

go to www.mirc.com for the client and follow the instructions. If you need any help post it here and i'll try to help you. Maybe some people can put the channel name on their site or something (if they agree it's a good idea ofcourse ;) ).

This is where you can find the Channel:
network:        Quakenet
channel:         #pontifex

You'll find me there with the name hw|Blue (where hw is my clan tag for counterstrike and Blue is my nickname).  

Important people will be granted the operator flag.

Hi all,

Print-outs are nice, but it would be even nicer to 'render' your bridge. For those people who are not into 3d moddeling, rendering is the process of creating an image of the 3d scene created, but with the textures and lighting etc applied.
In pontifex you have the ability to move around your bridge, you can take a screenshot if you want, but a button with 'render' on it looks nicer. In the process of rendering, a sky can be created, reflection of the water is added, bumbmapping is aplied, all the nice effects http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
And you really don't need a super computer, it justs takes a while on slow ones, and you can choose not to render  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

My second idea was someting like 'global collisions'. In the current versions when your bridge collapses it just breaks and falls down (wich is really good, don't get me wrong ;) ). But when for insance 2 towers collide they just fall down not colliding with eachother. But with the global collisions plugin (:)) they would crash into eachtoher and then fall down. Or when a part of the bridge way up brakes and comes down, it crashes into the deck (or onto the train).

These are just some ideas, pontifex is great as it is, but this is the section for ideas so.. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I got the HAV thing http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> But what is it? And what can I do with it?

Hey all,

Here is my attempt to get the forums moving again http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Maybe CL can open a "Beta" section in the forums? And maybe supply us with some info about the new game. It gives us something to talk about.

Some features would be nice, or... perhaps.. if it's possible.. some pictures? I dunno, atleast give us something to talk about http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> At the moment we're satisfied with anything i guess. Tell us about the levels, are they more difficult then pontifex? Are there any new materials? Is the train still in the game? Or do we have more vehicles to trash/drown?

Well hope you can help the forum, and I do understeand if all the info about the beta is still 'classified' http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Bob.
