Great it runs! Now what do I do? A HA! Found the readme, the controls are going to take a little time to get used to, but yes I like the concept, old style battleship encounters in space!

Added your game to the game list, keep up the great work!

new version released 27-08-2010Changelogadded anti-missile missileadded approach speed to target listadded main menuadded battle selection windowimproved HUDimproved missiles precisionother smaller improvementsbugfixing

Still haven't tried it out as I keep forgetting to download the dx update.

The installer include the directx web setup.
I thought it was a smart idea use the latest directx sdk when i installed visual studio , now everyone need it too

I have uploaded a video on youtube that show a zoom out to the entire solar system



and 2 new screenshot

Got some nice scale there Littorio, the zoom out was a nice example of the size of the scale your creating.I have yet to download and try this out yet, but I will. I take it that all green squares are friendlies and red is the baddies. Do you control every unit in your game or just that main ship?

Green are friend and red are enemies. Only the squares with a name are ships , all the others are missiles. For now you can control any unit , also enemy and missiles.

new version released 14-09-2010Changelogadded multi-threading , up to 3 threads usedI need the help of someone who can write the readme in a better english than mine and improve the user guide.I also need ship models.

You get any takers on the editing of the README Littorio? If not I could probably lend a hand. I will take a look at it and upload my changes to the forum.

I will probably write this in HTML so it's easier to add pics and formatting.

You are the only voluntary till now.Beside language problems i don't think i can never write a good user guide. For me everthing is so obvious that don't need to be mentioned

I am almost done with the basic layout and will post/refine when I play this some more to fill in the blanks for some questions I have. If anything it will look a bit more neat and all the spelling mistakes will be gone.

Check this out Littorio and let me know what ya think?I will update this post with the changes to the ReadMe.

Very good , i have uploaded it on the site :)Readme

Glad ya like Littorio, it should be pretty easy to maintain now. When I go through the game a bit more I will alter it and re-post and try to fill in more descriptions. I tried to link in things that would help with some of your definitions/descriptions.I think what would help to is maybe a description of the unit values you use in your parameters and if there is minimum and maximum values? For example power_required is 4E4? or structure is 25E6? What does this mean..?

I have made some minor correction.The units are the most appropriate SI unit.power: wattenergy: joulemass: kilogramposition-distance-dimension: metersangle: radianforce: newtonthe unit of the structure is kg

Updated my original post with the readme and fixed a few things.

hey there Littorio,I am the turbosquid user "furyfighter" and i just wanted to say i love what you have done with the karatelva battleship, i think its an awesome job but i couldnt help but notice you mention you sought more ship designs. Which is why i have created an account here. I have dozens and dozens of ship models, most are in gmax format, such as the karatelva but i also have a few made in 3ds max now.http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v118/FuryFighter/that is my photobucket which has screenshots of most of my models, I have some other ships on turbosquid but none of my max models. If you fancy any of my ships on photobucket, or would like me to create you a new ship i'd be more than happy to share - helping you is also helping me as it gets both of our content out there!2 of my 3ds max warship models - hope to hear back from you, and thanks again for using the karatelva, was really cool when i found your project!
