I'm not trying to change the models in the game...I'm reusing existing ones.

Currently the first stage allows 2 classes of units: the player's unit (which is a mech) and the enemy units (which can be mechs, tanks, etc).

I'm trying to add a 3rd class, the allied unit, which will be a mech but instead of fighting with the player, will assist the player instead.

I added the XML entries into FirstLevel.spec, as well as a spec XML file for the allied mech, and added the proper serialization classes to GameLevel.cs to load the mech and add it to the GameSceneNode collection. The Draw command for my allied mech is called, but it doesn't appear on screen.

Ian Brown:
does it deal with walking on a mesh based terrain

No; the RobotGame has totally flat levels. One of the many smart, simplifying decisions made in its implementation.

Adding more mechs to the first stage

Hi all,

I recently created a modification to Robot Game in order to add a new class of mech to the game. The purpose of this was to add mechs that would assist the player, sort of like a sports video game where a player doesn't control every team member on his team, but they assist him using AI.

I added the .spec file and XML enries to the FirstStage.Level file, plus the necessary code in the GameLevel class to read these files and load the Mech into the correct position. I also created the corresponding class files in the RobotGame/Unit directory.

However, when I play the game, the mech I added doesn't show on the first stage.

What other modifications do I need to make to just get the mech to appear? When I created the corresponding Unit classes, they inherited from the GameUnit class, so I thought that would be sufficient, since I'm reusing their 3D models.

Thanks,
Derrick

Question about collision detection code

Ian Brown — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:18:19 GMT

Hi, I've a quick question about the code of this sample (I'll pay the $100 to get it if it is useful - but don't want to do that yet if the code will not be of use).
I'm developing a game where the character (3rd person cam) walks on a terrain made up of a generic mesh. I have the collision detection and movement almost working but it is a bit jittery when walking up and down slopes. I was wondering what the collision detection is like in this minigame - does it deal with walking on a mesh based terrain (not a hightmapped one because I have tunnels and bridges)? If it is just walking on a plane with some bounding box collisions then it is not interesting - if it walks on a mesh though, it could be worth $100 to compare notes.

Thanks,

Ian

Nevermind... I just re-ran the conversion utility in VS 2008, and everything is just peachy. :)

Yo,

Has anyone attempted to port this from XNA FW 2.0 to XNA FW 3.0?

The .csproj files wouldn't open from the RobotGameWindows.sln file, (Using VS 2008) so I had to manually convert those, and build a new solution with those converted files. Upon compile all build fine, except RobotGameWindows, at the end of the build stage, which produces the following error(s):

Project RobotGameWindows

Any Idears?

Thanks,
