hey very nice work...
Congratulations

Yeah looks good codo.

very nice! it's good to see a completed mogre game especialy one which looks fun. looking forward to try it.
btw what kind of dev is it ? from the website it looks closed source, so if I may ask, have you concidered going opensource ? at least for the code? it would most probably be a realy valuable source of knowledge for mogre users!

good luck!

Wings of Furry is a great game. Awsome that someone is making remake of it. Good job.

@remz: We will certainly take into account releasing the source. We need some time though...

good news! and ofc take your time, everyone know how active dev code can get messy sometimes !

Stay tuned

Here you can watch the new gameplay video:

Hope you enjoy it...

looks very nice and fun to play, looking forward for a playable version!

Nice work! The gameplay video looks like arcade fun Is it difficult to control an aircraft?

@raygeee: We tried to make is as easy as possible. I'm sure you won't be dissapointed.

There will be 3 difficulty levels. Each level introduces different parameters like hitpoints or landing difficulty. So it's gonna be a piece of cake to land on the carrier on 'easy', but I'm sure you'll need to practice a lot when playing on 'hard'

Hullo again,
Here is the demo version of Wings of Fury 2: http://wingsoffury2.com/discussion/12/demo-download/

Enjoy!

downloading..

Full version is available here: http://wingsoffury2.com/forum/

Enjoy!

nice to see you finished you work

The download link description is Wings_of_Fury_2_v2.0 and the file name is Fury_standalone_light.zip.
What means light?

I think it's better to offer the game with an installer.

Programmers like us know how to handle just zipped applications. But you want to offer it to all Windows users. I suppose that many of them doesn't know how to handle with it. They expect an installer that copies the files and creates start links on desktop and in start menu. Also the vcredist patch has to be installed.
If I remember right in you pre-release version you used an installer.

I got an error (using a german WindowsXP):

Could you enter the directory were you have unzipped the archive?. Then enter /bin/release and start wof.exe from there. And of course tell us what happens:)

light means it has no bundled DirectX and .NET framework

Hi,

A very good free instalion kit :

Inno Setup

Also starting by bin\Release\Wof.exe gives this exception.

If there are different versions (complete with setup and light) there should be a note at the download page.


Ogre.log:

WARNING: the mesh 'CarrierCrew.mesh' includes vertices with more than 4 bone assignments. The lowest weighted assignments beyond this limit have been removed, so your animation may look slightly different. To eliminate this, reduce the number of bone assignments per vertex on your mesh to 4.

Apropos installer. The demo version was released with the installer, but we've had a feedback that users didn't like it (oh my God! it writes something to my registry!

Beauty: your ogre.log looks good and these exceptions are just warnings. They should not cause any trouble. Do you perhaps have Windows XP 64? Can you run the demo version?

strange,
after restarting the computer I tested the pre-release. It works.
And now the release version works.
On yesterday on all 3 tries I got the exeption above.
(I not even saw the splash screen)

32bit Windows XP

People who are afraid of any registry entries are stupid (in my eyes).
Most of the application, drivers and windows itself makes entries.

In my opinion installer wasn't bad, but ZIP has it's advantages: no need to install / uninstall / wait. Just copy and run. Some people like it that way.

If you encounter any further problems let me know.

I think the main disadvantage in WoF case is that a zip file doesn't install the needed depencies (vcredist + maybe DirectX redist).
A nice way would be to offer both versions (installer + zipped)

The installer would weight three times as it does now. But, why not? We'll think about it:)

More than a year of sole development has given birth to the Wings of Fury 2: Return of the legend - better, faster and deadlier WOF2. Enjoy everyone!

That game looks sweet! Congratulations on your hard work and the great results

I'll try it when I get home

good job, just tested it, it's quite fun and addictive to turn in the air just to try killing the remaining soldiers that have slip through your bomb

just a little bug, i get a system.unauthorized exception on loading when running it the first time on windows 7. i have to run it as administrator first to make it work. perhaps a check could be made to see if the program run on administrator mode ?

otherwise, well done. cool to see some good games made with mogre
