Red Eclipse: A first look

This is a first look at the new open-source shooter, Red Eclipse.

Download here: http://www.redeclipse.net/

Description:
Red Eclipse is a Free and Open Source game, using SDL and OpenGL which allows it to be ported to many platforms; grab a development copy from our Subversion repository and live on the bleeding edge.

The game is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, completely at the control of map makers, while maintaining a general theme of agility in a variety of environments. For more information, please see our Chat.

In a true open source by the people for the people nature, it tries to work closely with the gaming and open source communities to provide a better overall experience, taking all sorts of feedback from your average player, to your seasoned developer, aiming to create a story-driven game environment that is flexible, fun, easy to use, and pleasing to the eye

Yes, it is intentional you can get up there. When the map was first created the top of the level was actually clipped off, but when we added the parkour mechanics and climbing/jetpacks became a consideration, I made the mappers like Wicked remove the clip from the top of their levels like here in deadsimple.

@qreeves Thanks for the answer! Are you a developer of the game or was that a custom map or something?

[qreeves]

@256BitLeoneri Sure am, I am the creator of Red Eclipse :)

[256BitLeoneri]

@qreeves Haha wow that is awesome! :)

Game is PERFECT. But I want to know, how do i make a map using the Editor...

@256BitLeoneri oh yeah someone helped me with this as well. I'm using Playclaw in half frame. but for it to come out looking half decent, i have to play in 1024 by 764, and as you already know, higher resoutions mean lower framerates lol

@Inpersona64 I recorded it with Fraps. I usually record half-screen, as that is just advice I have received in general, although I don't remember if I used half-screen for this game.

@BDGeist XFire doesnt support this game, yet. Fraps takes up 98% of my processing powerand WeGame is too much work. I tried Playclaw, and unfortunately, i can only record half-size because in fullsize, i get only 1-2 frames per second (and thats only on 800 by 600).

[BDGeist]

@Inpersona64 Try Fraps, WeGame, Xfire, or PlayClaw.

what do you use to record your gameplay?
