Ah yes, I just got a bad case of the Sunday stupids :-) Now the game loads and runs, but I can't seem to get anything to working. Klicking any network related buttons ends the program. When compiling, I get the following warnings: C:\...\FreeBASIC-1.05.0-win64\FreeBASIC-1.05.0-win64\fbc -s console ...

It's a dynamic library so they don't need to be in your compiler lib folder. They just need to be in the same directory as the executable.

I feel a bit stupid for saying this, but all I get when trying to compile the code is this: error: lib fbsound-64 not loaded ! I checked the folders, and everything the program needs seems to be there. If you are compiling from source you will need to copy the runtimes from the runtimes folder to m...

I managed to start a game, fly around, place 2 watch towers, but then I did not understand how to continue / what to do. Anything specific that was confusing? Here is the gameplay guide https://www.indiedb.com/games/basic-warfare/news/basic-warfare-gameplay-guide It doesn't document everything but ...

possible formula
access count in last 30 sec / (unit_time - unit_time_previous)

I think that would be nice. The interface is definitely still somewhat awkward to use at times.
But what you can do is group units into sets selectable via the F1,F2,F3, etc...

Thank you! Sorry about the load time. It's how long fbsound takes to load the music files.

Sorry guys for the delay with listing the final entries. I have problem running Zamaster's The Secret Garden, and I'm still not sure how to go about it.

Developing this project has been the funniest thing i did with Freebasic. Thank you. Agreed, I've had a lot of fun as well. Your entry looks great, I haven't played it much yet because I was busy with my entry but now I'm hoping to finish it. ;) It reminds me a lot of Commander Keen. @Lachie Here i...

Rather clunky, but that actually worked! Thanks. I'll get started on the game guide and try to document the known bugs or quirky features. The game is pretty hard to learn if you're not an avid RTS player but I believe you'll figure it out and enjoy it. I don't want the learning curve to be too ste...

A server down shouldn't crash the game. Also, clicking localhost keeps crashing my game EVERY time. Localhost still needs a server. Run the game twice. Start one as a server and then connect to localhost with the other one. This is my first network game so some network things aren't perfectly smoot...

Boromir, I've lost one game by you, but then had 3 consecutive crashes trying to connect to your server again. Don't know what's going on there. Ran both x86 and x64 versions as administrator, x64 always failed, x86 connected ONCE. I have Windows 8.1. Don't know what's going on there. I do think it...

No facebook but I've skype.

Try the x86 version, and make sure it's not in the downloads folder. Sometimes networking gets blocked if it's in there.
If that doesn't work you might have to compile from source.

Lachie Dazdarian wrote:Boromir, have time for a joint game?

Sure. I've hosted so you can connect to basic-warfare.net in the game.
