VKit (Enhanced RTS Pack) in the works..

#41 @Rigo: I'm not the final approval authority, but I know that removes several of my core concerns--I'll bump this to the front of the queue as quickly as I can and get a final word.

#42 /waits patiently for this release. prays its soon

;)

Rigo you deserve a cookie once this is released. You're saving me tons of time and adding stuff to it that I've been trying to do. So once again, you deserve a cookie, hell make it 2 :)

#43 @Stephen - Thanks I appreciate that :) If that doesn't work just let me know what direction to go in as this a work in progress. Plus I am sure your busy with the Conference coming up. (wish I could go, hope to next year)

Thanks Chip - that sure sound good right now... I might even be able to get it online today as I am reverse Merging back down to RTS 1.0 right now :) Keepa praying for me

#44 I've been praying and even did a sacrifice to the Dev Gods. You should be good to go now :)

#45 \o/ <= SecondLife 'Yaaaaaay' emote.

(One of these days I'll actually get Stephen to respond to one of my emails so we can catch up since it's been AGES since we talked.)

#46 Looks like I am just bout there :) musta worked....I have the Kit working again with RTS 1.0 only.

So next todo is to create a Diff and Patch file that works. Then finish setting up the Forums and Download link.

So stat tuned almost got it!

Also I will release a demo so you can download that to try. Compiled + Scripts

Keep in mind it needs a lot of work and documentation. aka the Beta and 0.1 version.

Though by the time it reachs 1.0 it should be sweet with your help and support!

Thanks!

#47 @John: Sorry man, it's been a really rough couple of weeks! Will track it down today for sure. Good to see you!

#49 Congratulations Rigo!

Can't wait to try it out.

Cheers!

#50 Does this add AFX as well or are you still going to release a resource for this?

Also forgot to ask, what is included in "extras" with signing up for your site? (doing that this weekend btw just wanted to see what I get ;))

#51 This is strictly RTS 1.0 Straight Patch and mod to keep in License.

I will post a resource soon with the upgrade steps to AFX or patch in that forum :-)

So to use this just copy the directories into a CLEAN RTS.

Extras are 3D models, textures, etc. most of what is on my site (just not the BUG pack yet). In the future more 3D will be included for FREE.

#52 Awesome. AFX will make it even better.

Expect my subscription tonight or this weekend.

Great job btw. :)

#53 One other thing, when do you think you'll have the VS 2005 project? I tried doing a conversion, but won't compile so I'm not sure if its a conversion issue or what.

#54 You better believe when I get a spare $10, I am gonna get a membership and donate some art for that lifetime membership you mentioned. ;)

I am so very happy, and proud, to see that you got this out, Rigo. This community has asked for something like this, love to the RTS kit, for a long time.

@Stephen: I haven't emailed in a long time, so I am willing to bet the messages are lost. I'll have to send you one soon. Right now I am trying to wrap up my first quarter at the Art Institute Online.

#55 Thanks all!!

hope this helps the RTS community a lot. And for a low cost to everyone. (hopefully some people will keep up the subscriptions so eventually I can afford to spend more time on the Kit :) )

@Chip, I will get that into the kit asap as I know most people have the 2005 Express. Shouldn't take long hopefully by tonight.

Enjoy!

#56 Try this (for 2005):

http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/RTS/Compiling

I think that was it...I will try that later on after work..

#57 I signed up for the Silver membership, and tried to register on the forums, but keep getting "The confirmation code you entered was incorrect" but I don't see a spot on the form for a confirmation code. PayPal came from chiplambert@crusader-games.com btw. Do you handle the account creation?

Forgot: The link did the trick. I've been using VS 2005 Pro since it came out, but never had trouble with that Platform SDK. Oh well, works now :)

#58 Oops...well guess that theme doesn't work. Its fixed now so you can Register. I will activate it after you register.

All: Please use your *Paypal Email address when Registering on the Forums. Or let me know via my contact page if you want another address.

*Otherwise I Will not Activate your Registration (Private Forums are for Paid members only)

Thanks for the signup! Glad that link worked :)

#59 Demo (with CS files removed) here:

Enjoy :)

#60 Just signed up, look forward to tinkering with it.
