ProjectUNI Release

Off-topic
1

Time has come for the first test release of the 3D computer game ProjectUNI. MrSparkle and I decided we didn’t like the direction that ProjectUNI development was heading so we’ve decided to restart from scratch.

What we are now releasing is what we have made up until this point. It’s pretty buggy and LARGELY unfinished but its still fun and I know a bunch of you were wanting this anyhow.

Features currently in-game:

  • Two maps
  • One character model
  • Online multiplayer with chat (the U key)
  • Hilariously unrealistic player physics
  • Buggy crankflipping (the E key)
  • Inability to fall regardless of landing angle or whether or not trick has completed upon landing
  • The character is meant to be controlled by keyboard (W,A,S,D) however the mouse still works. We recommend you only look around with the mouse but steer with the keyboard.

The multiplayer works just like any other game, someone needs to set up a server and then people can browse the game list and join. The port to forward on your router for hosting is: 28000

I’ve attached the torrent file (in a zip file because we can’t attach torrents) for those of you using BitTorrent. Just download it, decrompress and then open with your favorite torrent program to begin downloading. Please seed if you can so everyone can get it faster. If you don’t know what BitTorrent is or how to use it, check this out: http://www.utorrent.com/beginners-guide.php

I’ve also uploaded it to megauploads.com at: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ETA1XXDG for those of you unable to use BitTorrent. Just enter the three character code and hit download.

I can’t provide the exact minimum system requirements but it should be somewhere around:

Pentium III 733 mhz
128 MB RAM
OpenGL Compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator (32MB recommended)
DirectX compatible Soundcard
135 MB free hard drive space
Windows 2000/XP or later ('98 may work)

Sorry, this won’t be Mac OS X or Linux compatible. It may run in Parallels or Wine(for Linux) though I won’t make any guarantees as I’ve never tried it.

I hope you enjoy what we have so far. As I said, we will be restarting and going in a different direction with it soon. We will provide more details of it over the next few weeks.

If someone can host let us know on here, for some reason my server isnt allowing people to join.

3

when you get the file hosted let me know, I can’t install a torrent program on this computer.

4

It is uploaded, reread the part about megaupload.com.

5

oh whoops missed that part sorry.

6

This Game Is Fun

7

My interent is not allowing me to host a connectable server, so if anyone can host let us know and around when you will be hosting.

8

If you use Utorrent or any other torrenter it does take a few minutes for it to update and start downloading…just be patient…

9

haha if you were replying to mr sparkles post you make me laugh he dosent need to download he helped created it if not disregard:p

downloading the torrent now :slight_smile:

10

If someone wants to try hosting just make sure you click host multiplayer when you start a mission if you hadnt figured it out.

11

i don’t see any servers

12

Select Start mission and you should see two maps:

Dave’s trial course, and open Muni Land

select one then hit launch mission

13

do you think this could be ported to mac via use of Cider?

14

people need to seed

15

you should try so I can play too!

16

If its going slow try the megaupload site, but also get the torrent later so we can get more seeders. And im not sure about the mac port, will have to wait for Brian to answer that.

17

Cool! I wasn’t expecting the graphics to be so good, I can tell that you put a lot of work into it.

It took me a while but I finally beat Dave’s trial course.

18

How much work would it be to make it run on a mac? I reeeaally want to play this:)

19

Am i a secret character yet?
I seriously want to be.
REALLY BAD.

Haha no, character models are so much work, maybe once we find a way to mass produce the characters and animations.
