New AoS "Launcher"

[TheGeekZeke101]

If you didn't know mat^2 is now in the process of converting AoS into a new "launcher". What does this mean? This means the game will load from a different program. With this come some new "features".

New Features:

-Sharper Blocks/Kv6 Models

-New Server List

-Less Fog

-Ammo Converted in Fractions (Ex: 32/50)

-Much more!


You can hear more yourself from mat^2 in the IRC and stay updated. You can see all of his complete work here: http://mp2.dk/ace/

Looks awesome.

Gonna say it again, I liked the older style gun/char models.

[Mortiis]

it looks great!

[Bandage]

Looking good, I especially like the super smooth edges on the blocks and voxels.
Server list is a very great addition. It just should include an another specific list for the certified servers, you know.
OR... if it's possible, a stat tracker would be very nice in this launcer thingy. I'd appreciate it quite a lot, and I sure would start using it even right now.

Though... isn't the fog reduction understood in the game as "hacking"? I belive I've read something about it being like that.

Urrrgh no offense, but if the menu which was in the video on youtube gets added, I will kill myself.

Honestly why do the devs all the time want to change the style of this game from hardcore to arcade? To please the kids? Does it look cooler? I don't think so :/

Also: Less fog, whaaaat?!

If they're gonna keep that style with the kv6 files, proper arms should be added, and some kind of effects for epic charmyness. The current graphics are charmy as f_uck, this doesn't look charmy at all.

Shading looks good though.

It isn't as visible. If you were to look at both a picture in-game now and with the new launcher you would see the difference.

I was under the assumption the fog was WIP and yet to be fixed.

Honestly if they make it as clear as in the video then that is a massive buff for semi.

I agree. One of the reason gun/player models look so seamless given their lack of detail was BECAUSE the bounded cubes help mesh together the shapes/colors to give the appearance of greater detail.

Oh this is great... I always had little problems with the weird weapon model shading.
Downloading right now, good job mat²

Psss... isn't a download. It's what the game will soon be ;)

[MahBearHands]

Less fog? Hell yeah, thats all I really need. :]

[SIMOX]

Don't get the thing with fog but if it's going to look like THIS then do no want. It looks ugly and it's not how fog works.

That's where I get frustrated, too. It seems nice, but should be taken towards a different direction. I think that the menu should be more about AoS than moving blocks. Maybe even a simple image. I also think that the servers should be set up in a different way. Just too little space with so many servers. Favorites, and ect should be added.

<3 the music :)

I would have to play it.
