\n Well, it’s that time again. A third rebuild of Forerunner.map which still fails to live up to the name in any way shape or form! \":D\"<\/p>\n

\n Also went and added some new terrain ‘blobs’ for creating more natural looking terrain on top of the planes or adding onto existing terrain\n <\/p>\n

\n \"RdYb9gO.jpg\"<\/p>\n

\n To aid that, we have Terrain ‘discs’\n <\/p>\n

\n And why not add some wooden forge pieces?\n <\/p>\n

\n Download Link: http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/6vxndb5kvzdwbrk\/forerunner_3.8a.zip<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n Current Public Version: v3.8a<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n ETA for next update:\n Unlikely to ever come without a full rebuild, I am busy with my gaming community and pretty much every planned feature is either already added or simply won’t actually work due to the amount of tags being loaded (or map size idk). Also trying to learn some amount of programming and start developing games.<\/b><\/font>\n<\/p>\n\n

\n Infact I have something to show for it (ehh somewhat). Here you can download a launcher test..thing I cobbled together. It serves no real function in terms of a game but most launcher functions work to some extent.\n <\/p>\n

\n The username\/pass are written to a file (in a real test they would be connecting to an auth server, but I don’t have one at the moment (shocker). The update checker works in a very basic way, in that it checks to see if a file exists on a web URL. It\n doesn’t check size nor is there any true version checking, it will say there is an update regardless of if you are on the latest version (but if the file were removed from my webserver it would not find an update. Various settings are\n built into the launcher and are all written to config files. The license key input is written to a file as well. If you put an application or any file for that matter into the versions folder it will infact run it through the launcher.\n <\/p>\n

\n If my project starts to get some amount of progress behind it in terms of an actual game, I will start a new blog on this site relating to it.\n <\/p>\n

\n Launcher v0.0.4 Download<\/strong>: http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/d587c87pvddcvum\/WindowsFormsApplication2.exe<\/a>\n <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n *This is uncertain, may or may not happen*WARNING: Upon the map’s final release, the current forge menu layout will be merged into the default Forge palette. This will cause any maps created prior to break (assuming they work between updates). Because of this, there will be a version immediately before the forge menu redo with the final feature set to let those who have maps already to play them, and the MapID *may* be changed for the final release. <\/strong><\/span><\/s>\n  tl;dr, It isn’t happening. Forge as you please.<\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n Please be aware that I will not be making every version available for download. The public version will be updated when I feel there are enough changes that are worthy of an update (mainly because it takes a year to upload the files)\n<\/p>\n

\n Multiplayer Compatibility: v3.7 and below confirmed to work <\/span><\/strong> (others are unknown, feel free to try it over LiNK and whatnot)\n<\/p>\n

\n Known Bugs\/Crashes: 1<\/strong><\/span> (If you find any please report them)<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
