Genesis Redux Project (Working title) - (Build 0.7.3) - Online Multiplayer Shenanigans

[Dylanthechao]

sorry i said chaos i meant to say chao with a S at the end other wise it says chaos form sonic adventure 1

[Dylanthechao]

As you can see by my username i like chaos and i was wondering what the chao does is it just to show or does it do something ?

[Dylanthechao]

Will there be classic tails?

[sonickidnextgen]

@Dylanthechao Yes, there's a screenshot on the ModDB page of Tails. Although, the model may be changed later, that's the current model for the project.

[jkicool]

will there be mobs or like a co-op campaign 

[Algera96]

is there a release date now? sence its so close to release



[sonickidnextgen]

@Algera96 No, there's still no set release date, just sometime in February. All I have left for the initial release is; Fixing a few things, maybe adding a few objects, creating a logo, and adding the controls sub-menu. All of which wouldn't take long, it's just tedious to do it.

[Algera96]

well no new updates on the game i see.... im starting to think its canceled.

[sonickidnextgen]

@Algera96 Well, it's not canceled. I posted two screenshots the other day. And believe it or not, the main reasons why I haven't posted a whole lot about this are: The first reason being that I have done far too much to actually state in an update log. And the second being the fact that I'm near the point of releasing it, so there's no point in making any kind of post if I'm just going to do it again soon after.

[Algera96]

@sonickidnextgen Well that is very very good news to hear. I'm looking forward to it.

[Algera96]

@sonickidnextgen Seems like SRB2 may have competition.

[Dylanthechao]

@Algera96 i thought the same thing. this is a more modern vesion of srb2

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen you're going to release the game? *-* <3 :) :D (all the smile copyright to the SMile Inc.. and ShinRa inc.... Wtf reserved)

[LordShadow95]

@Algera96 arent cancelled watch this : moddb(dot)com / games / project-lightspeed / images

im speaking a lot with my friend(I hope he does not get angry for the claim that I wrote a little while ago),he working on hard on this game.... The game will release around February

[Algera96]

@LordShadow95 read my second comment = ~=

[LordShadow95]

on emerald coast stage,how heck you do the second part of the stage???

[sonickidnextgen]

@LordShadow95 SonicFreak94 ripped both parts of the stage. I simply cut the video. However, there are teleporters, so it's possible to just instantly appear over there.

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen look like the LinkSonic5's engine...the invisible goal rings....

[Sonicshot101]

It looks like you and your friend were having fun! This looks really great man!

[Steph9827]

IT'S NO USE!

[TheBetaFox]

@sonickidnextgen Hi! Could you please release this old version? I'm just looking to have some fun with a friend in BlitzSonic stages. Thanks!

[lenonbaby]

it gonna be released later or soon?

[LordShadow95]

@lenonbaby never. 

[LordShadow95]

@lenonbaby but i hope soon

[odioalospoopers]

@lenonbaby he has sayed:SOON

[Dylanthechao]

are you still working on this and the older video wheir you picked up the chao and said it does not work are you planing on doing the chao part in SA2/SAB2 (sonic adventure 1/2 )where you can take care of it and level it up or is it for decoration?from Dylan ps:this game is like a dream to me so thank you and will their be tails?

[SweaterSwagg]

Hey where can I get planet Wisp textures?

[Gskittelz]

how did u do multiplayer?

[sonickidnextgen]

@Gskittelz A lot of long hours of somewhat complicated programming in Blitz3D.

[timour4567]

When blitzsonic and SRB2 collide. Lol.

[LordShadow95]

can you give us a demo(with the multiplayer) and another new video?

[fufu1235678]

i wanna play with you  X3!

[LordShadow95]

@fufu1235678 me too

[SweaterSwagg]

May you direct me to the model?

[sonickidnextgen]

@SweaterSwagg You need to be a bit more specific. Do you mean the player model? Or do you mean something else, like the stage models, or the object models?

[SweaterSwagg]

@sonickidnextgen I meant the sweet character model.

[sonickidnextgen]

@SweaterSwagg Well, I can link you to the original model, but it wouldn't have my extra animations, and SonicFreak94's cell-shaded effect.

[SweaterSwagg]

@sonickidnextgen Thats cool. Is it in Maya format?

[sonickidnextgen]

@SweaterSwagg No, but I can export it to OBJ, and then pretty much anything else from there. The only problem with that method, is that animation would be deleted.

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen stage at 04:47? i love that music!

[hero108atack]

@LordShadow95 Plant Wisp. Stage from Sonic Colors only on Wii and DS

[LordShadow95]

@hero108atack oh,cool! thx

[hero108atack]

@sonickidnextgen This game should be renamed Sonic Next-Generations Race

[LordShadow95]

@hero108atack Race? fan game

arent too race. i want Coop and Race.

[hero108atack]

@LordShadow95 Lately Sonic r 2 is not out.

[LordShadow95]

@hero108atack cool

[SweaterSwagg]

@sonickidnextgen Thats cool, I can animate myself.

[hero108atack]

@sonickidnextgen Can you give me the sonic model

[SONICDBZFAN07]

@sonickidnextgen

When you say higly custimisable engine, do you mean you'll release the source code ?

And is this still in the work ?

[Algera96]

you people should go back to reading class

[metalsonic71]

@Algera96 i know right?

[zaangiltchmaster]

Is there a demo/Download?

[2lovejune]

I feel lonely. Will someone comment with me? PLEASSSSSSSEEEEE????????????

[2lovejune]

I don't even know what a worklog is.

[2lovejune]

Listen, I'm sorry for that comment I posted. If you post me as a friend, I will tell you a little secret about my life. So, are we buds?

[2lovejune]

THAT'S IT! I'M TIRED OF BEING NICE! WILL YOU JUST ACCEPT MY APOLOGY?!!

[2lovejune]

I'm also sorry for misunderstanding the point of this game. Can you please just reply?

[2lovejune]

Will you please respond, sonickidnextgen?

[2lovejune]

I'm sorry. It's just that I'm still a kid and I still have a bit of a cold or snot drainage. So please forgive me. :(

[2lovejune]

Okay. My bad.

[2lovejune]

@thesonicfan265 So anyway, do you think anyone will take my word of advice? Not that i'm forcing them (P.S. thanks 4 replying. That's my 1st reply yet

[sonickidnextgen]

@2lovejune I really don't understand where you were going with your first comment. I didn't make the stage, so I'm not going to work on something I have no interest in working on. And if you were just throwing an idea out there, and wanted feedback, I suppose that's fine. But why did you make that kind of suggestion on here? This video isn't necessarily about the stages. Just to clear this up; You are aware that this is an engine worklog video, right? So, the stages were used for demonstrations.

[timour4567]

Lol, it's like SRB2 and blitzsonic combined.

[SONICDBZFAN07]

@sonickidnextgen Are you still working on it ?

[PeejsterM]

Would it be possible to have a server option that disables player collision, for things like time-trials?

[SolonOO1]

@PeejsterM *starts thinking of trackmania combined with blitz sonic*

*grins*

*faints*

[iRaeNicole]

how can i download this please answer >_> reply.

[sonickidnextgen]

@iRaeNicole Please understand that this is currently in development, so I have no intention of releasing it yet. Also, please look at all of the information before asking for a download link. I've already gotten quite a few comments about download links, a few of which I've replied to. There's a link in the description for the ModDB page, and it specifically states that the release date is TBD(To be decided).

[Supersonicvideos17]

How do i open it after download?

[PKtheHEDGEHOG]

I wish someone would make a full game with this engine already... -_- But it's not really ready for that yet is it? Also... why does Planet Wisp look so... dead?

[74SonicMario]

Silver: It's no use!

Me: Wait, what?

[2lovejune]

@thesonicfan265 What do you think of my ideas?

[thesonicfan265]

@2lovejune cool

[thesonicfan265]

amazing job when will the download be release

[2lovejune]

Oh, come ON!!! The first loop could be an arch as a remake, and the drift areas could have solid, straight walls with a corner instead of being curved. Isn't that a great idea? please comment me, anyone.............

[2lovejune]

Will the Planet Wisp stage EVER be remade as if it were to be the ORIGINAL without all of the mechanical technology???

[Algera96]

cant blame anyone for thinkin th game is out, you explain the controls as if we have the game. what was the point of that? Overall I lookin foward too it

[TutsModding]

how can we download the multiplayer?

[Algera96]

are u close to atleast releasing a demo or local?

[Luna7Cat]

this looks soo FUN! I wanna play! ! X)

[11Supersonic11]

Great work on the multiplayer. About the desynchronizing of objects, can't you make one player "host" the game (player 1 I suppose) and send the position of those objects to other players (or have you already done that, since this video is a few months old already)? Also can other players collect rings (and monitors), and do they disappear for all players?

Also it's nice to see you're giving credit me for something so little as positioning a stage, I appreciate you're thinking of everything :)

[sonickidnextgen]

@11Supersonic11 Well, currently the system works like this: When a player brakes an object, it is broken on another person's end, this is due to their position. When a player does such, they send the object number and type to the host. The host then writes this to a readable file, and sends it to incoming players. In addition, when a player joins, and there's something like an out of place ring, the player who had made a ring to be out of place, would then send out the number, and the position.

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen is out? or is 50% the work done?

[LordShadow95]

the stage at 04:03 is awesome!

[victorhugo2826]

MAKE A CRASH BANDICOOT ENGINE PLEASE !

[LordShadow95]

@victorhugo2826 search on youtube,exist

[CorvidDude]

Where on earth did you get such a clean rip of emerald coast?

[sonicfreak94]

@CorvidDude I ripped it using SADXLVL =P

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Where can I download this game?

It looks amazing for an amature game!

[LordShadow95]

@TheUltimateBeing01 in in working,is in alpha test, whatch for the 2012

[LordShadow95]

so...the ip is 192.168.1.6 ... exist anymore?i mean: if i download Genesis Redux Project(is hard insane because i don't found this)and i type the ip,i can connect?

[sonickidnextgen]

@LordShadow95 First off, I'm the one developing this, so I can tell you now that it hasn't been released yet. And as for the IP address, that's a local IP address, not a public one. So to not go into too much detail, an ISP gives you an IP address, and it's your own unique address. But when you use something like a router, each device connected has a local IP. And a local IP is usually something like the IP I used in the video. Others not on my network would have to use my public IP.

[LordShadow95]

how to go in multiplayer? and : whit the Stage made by Alex12(i don't remeber well the user,sorry alexois12)is pretty good XD! And : if you made this for Arrows mod is very funny...no?

[chuggafan5]

what are you playing on? i also have some sugestions so there should be classic tails and modern tails also modern sonic along with classic and modern knux it also would be awesome if you added chemical plant thats my fav. zone

[coolblue6650]

should you be able to talk?

[sonickidnextgen]

@coolblue6650 I'm glad you asked that, because I was just looking into text chat more. I've just tried something, and it's working. The only problem with this system that I can see, is that Blitz 3D can't handle this very well. I tested with the dedicated server, and I sent 300 messages, and the result was 90FPS. My average framerate with a resolution of 1280 x 720 is normally 150-230, and that's with AA(Anti aliasing) and AF(Anisotropic filtering), which are at 8X, and 16X.

[coolblue6650]

@sonickidnextgen oh shit thats complicated

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen what is the thing at 0:01? it's look like my proposal at facebook(dot)com/groups/155630­557813796/ (the proposal is in italian,sorry)

[LordShadow95]

@sonickidnextgen im subcribed for this game!!! thank you!!! :)

[ReligiousHero]

It's like Sonic Adventure Online. Awesome.

[TheUltrayTR]

If it's possible you must add a character selection menu :) Like Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic etc.

[sonickidnextgen]

@TheUltrayTR Part 1: Well, a lot of people seem to not understand that I'm developing an engine, and a game(To some extent). My main goal is to make the engine heavily customizable, and to have the game utilize the engine. I doubt it'll stay this way due to my laziness, but it's what I'd like to do. So for example: I'd release the source code/the engine. Then after that, I'd be focusing on more 'game-like' features. I apologize for this being more than one part, you can thank Youtube for that.

[sonickidnextgen]

@TheUltrayTR Part 2: So things like menus and characters, would be the kind of thing for a game created with the engine, more than just the engine. Generally, I'd like to add on to the Blitz Sonic Engine, more than take it over and make it a game. My last edit was an attempt at that, and oh look, I got lazy and didn't bother finishing it, I wonder why... So I'd like to add more onto the engine we already have, so it isn't as 'primitive' and overly simplistic.

[SONICDBZFAN07]

@sonickidnextgen This mean that when the engine will be done, you will release the code ?

[sonicnjie]

no offence but i dont this will suvive against BGE, BSC and BSU (no offence intended

[darksonic140]

You need to add invisible walls.

[TheSuperinvader]

this will be absolutely amazing ESPECIALLY if theres gonna be separate characters like tails knuckles (im assuming your sticking to genesis characters

[SONICDBZFAN07]

May I help you with this project ?

[Linksonic5]

And yes, I love this feature.

[r543Blitzsonic]

Add super sonic. what happens when player 1 changes the sonic.b3d will the game crash or will only he see the edited .b3d ?

[sonickidnextgen]

@r543Blitzsonic Super Sonic isn't currently working as I said. And when, or if it will, it would send a message to all users, which would essentially tell them to change that player's model on their end. It's pretty simple for something like that, it just takes quite a bit of time to do. And after that, I need to set up another "channel" for it to send the message on the text chat(Yes, it more or less works). Also keep in mind that It's per-player, so I have to do it 3-4 times.

[sonickidnextgen]

@r543Blitzsonic Oh, and not to mention animation, which will need to be set up for three or four players. And animation was annoying enough before, so I may just have it animate off of the same messages.

[manicDX]

Oh, okay keep up the good work

[manicDX]

Nice job, is it possible to add a chat box to ot

[sonickidnextgen]

@manicDX Yes, and no. I need to see what I can do about the FX system, so I can get it to work. Because for the moment, the "Text" command doesn't work with it. I may be able to get names above people's heads as well, but that might not happen. But right now, my main focus is on getting all of the objects to work. I currently have working, visible shields, and several monitors working.

[2xy3]

Really nice work, there. I would imagine it must be a bit of a pain to code something for online play.

Are you planning create a way to distinguish players from eachother? Because if you're playing with more than one other player then it may be a pain to tell who is who otherwise.

[sonickidnextgen]

@2xy3 I really don't find it all that bad for things like monitors, rings, springs, and things of that nature. If I have the chao, or the boxes work online though, that's another story. And I was thinking about using the "Text" command in Blitz3D to have the player's name above their head. Using this command in this nature I'd say is pretty easy, but for some reason, the text won't show up. I currently have three working players by the way, accept for the animation on the third one though.

[Chishado]

add text chat = golden

[Chishado]

woah. sonic generations with old skool sonics only

[SonicKillMario]

Blitz Sonic Dying?

My ass! Great Job! (I really just wish all the coders would put their engines together...)

[TailsfanBlitz]

I am honestly loving how this is looking. Good luck!

[pipex32]

WTF blitz sonic online

[Linksonic5]

Nice job and good luck!
