Sowum... when will this project be started? And I also have a suggestion, make the grenades always pass through the trasparent side, Id rather have grenades pass through solid metal than blow up in doorways.

Can you also make the story contain a bit more brain? But still sound as funny?

And by the way for all of those contributing, I believe "goran" is pronouced "yorr ahn" or something.

for me being scandinavian like Goran i am pretty sure that it's not pronounced Yorr ahn. :P
if i am wrong, then i owe Goran a beer for wrongly pronouncing his name for such a long time.
(i am gonna come to sweden some day and have a beer with you goran! how does 07/07/07 sound to you?) :)

You're very welcome Esi, It's gonna be some real good time meeting you [MUp]

shadowbreaker, there wont be any of those doorways in this year's xmas scenario.
I'm working on the shapes together with simon. I hope we get up the forge shapes until monday.

I'll make up some twisted story.

story idea 1:

You're Knifa. A pfhor elite soldier. You belong to a taskforce of 50 troopers. The empire have sent your squad to a human base on a cold ice planet.

It's not humans you're going to fight though. The base have belonged to the pfhor a good long 40 years. The empire believe the current commander of the base is withholding information about the ice mines. It seems they have found something of power. Things has gottens so far that the empire have now decided to send in a squad of troopers. They're going to wipe the base clean, and find out what is going on.

You'll talk with your commander and other troopers in the terminals. And of course you'll be assisted with trooper friends every now and then. It's going to be a hell of war in that human base. you'll find out what that pfhor is hiding from the empire.

I haven't decided what the secret in the ice mines will be yet. Damn it's 3 am, and I just came home from the pub. I'll sleep on it [MGrin]

What if the submarine the AIs took over in XS1 factored into XS2? Like, say the sub gets overrun by a renegade Pfhor faction (gee, that sounds familiar) and Tfear sends you in to clear it out.

Simon there's no time to wait until I have access to a mac (a week). Upload the forge-shapes to the ftp, and I'll take care of the rest.

I think the shapes are ready to go right away, without me looking at them. If something is missing, we can add it as we go along.

Ok Goran, I uploaded the files at the ftp, look for "goran stuff" in the XMas folder.
Samus

im under age, HAHAHA the drinking age is 18 in NZ i will be able to buy and drink (legally) before all of you! mohuwahahaha

The sadistic santa easter egg (wrong holiday, Xmas pressent :D) should be on a level that you have to hit a switch but it reveals the platform that it is meant to, but somewhere in the level it opens another platform but that is concealed by an invisible wall making it only possible to find by the map! Then there is a teleporter that portals you to an evil dungeon with a 7 sadistic bob that chucks EXPLOSIVE PREZZIES at you and he has flappy shoulder flap things that can generate bullets (like the jugg flaps) and he has 6000 health, When you beat him A nuclear death flashes that takes you to another level that only has a table with a script on congratulating you on destroying the Santa Clause and wishes you a merry christmas. All these levels are hexed out so you can't see them, And if irons reads this... you don't have to hex to change the level name in game and out game name, you call the actual level file something else and that appears as the lvl chooser naem but the name in forge is over head map (not tested, i just think I recall of it as I mispelta lvl file and map once)

goran returns! hooray!
i could probably make a lua script to make certain polygons be icy, so that deceleration would be less on them, if you want.

Drictelt? Oh boy, been a while since i talked with him! Last time it was on the forg hotline server, his project was moving along slowly but he's one of the mapper who is improving the most and a gifted textures artist.
I miss the good old forg days, back when it was alive and kicking.

I think what he meant was that he will be able to buy beer at a younger age than you did legally. Problem with that is, the legal drinking age is 18 in most countries. USA is one of few exceptions. I've been consuming beer legally for years [MUp]
