If Roland teaches 7th or 8th graders then that's just another day at work. :) My sister taught them for a few years... humor, humor is your only hope, so she said. I was offered a job (I never was a teacher and they called me!) to teach SQL at a local college, but I turned them down. Retired and keeping it that way. :)

So you turned down the opportunity to fight for your country in the war on kids? Shame on you. :fat:

Is more possible release March or May? Is something big still planned??

This is Fanboy 115 speaking: Yes, that question could have been asked to the wind in front of your house and would have received the same answer.

I miss the chirping of crickets in winter :upset:

Having 4 kids (well, 5 total, one is out of school now) that transitioned from an incredible charter school to public schools I can tell you that the public schools sure feel like a war on kids. Public schools get more money from the state where I live and do less with it. They teach to a decreasing middle group and all but abandon the kids struggling at the bottom and those excelling at the top, especially so if the kids are struggling with one subject and excelling in another. Something is going to have to give because the system is not working anywhere that I've found. :(

There, I vented and feel better. Please carry on with more relevant conversation. :p

 
We shouldn`t let the curiousity to fly away because of nessesity. Kids must be educated properly, its not a formal thing in life. Its how the world will grow and evolve. Good words Maharin, well said ;)

 
How would that work in a co-op game? Each person is their own origin point or the person who starts the game is the origin point?

You are not the origin point, but it is near you. It only changes when you get too far away, since there is some work it does when the origin changes. Shared positions are still in absolute coordinates, so another player does not know or care what your origin is.

So what your saying is that the origin point changes according to the postions of the players. Like a GUI would go to the center of multiple contacts on a touch screen?

Also if it is only single player then the origin point is always the same as the player's sphere?

 
The list of things to get excited about for A17 keeps growing. Could you start naming the releases and call this one "Woody"?

 
So with the dynamic origin point does that mean the map can be much bigger?

Map size is the least of my concerns... Id rather a 1 percent perormance boost... or for us to not LOOSE performance with the new stuff in A17.

When I play MP currently and use the mini bike to travel, the terrain takes forever to load. Will this new origin point fix that?

Map and origin are two different things. Origin just helps with numeric precision problems when you get far from 0,0, which is what happens the larger the map is.

32,000 meters by 64,000 meters will be the new size for maps in Empyrion, they use Unity as well so that's why I keep bringing them up.

There are no hand tremors, so they are using a different concept.

 
It's like cleaning a house while you are in the middle of building it. The work is completely wasted.

Really bad analogy as you DO clean a house as you are building it..... Makes the work much faster and safer. :)

 
dream vehicle, off road cargo van or utility truck for storage with a workbench inside for combining items. and to use the vehicle as a genny. cargo van works as a land claim block for say 5 block radius so you can hook up anything electric within reason to do whatever you like such as: lights, a single sentry weapon, etc... runs the vehicle out of gas tho.

understanding the main point: failed

trying to be smart: failed

the next step is: build a castle ingame, post the picture, and be proud.
