Gearhead hits 0.843 [ N/A -> Update ]
Posted by Saint_Proverbius Fri 13 Aug 2004, 3:18 AM
Gearhead has plodded along to a new version, which can be downloaded here. There are now two sets of graphics files to go with it, normal sized and reduced size for those with older machines, I guess. Here's a list of the changes:

  • New graphics. Several mecha by Omega, several people by me. Plus there's now a hot dog cart.
  • New adventures and items. Want to learn more about GARU serum? Now your PC can have some!
  • Can now use enter key when attacking (gflooker.pp)
  • Fixed robot construction/weapon token bug (backpack.pp)
  • All personal items should now have mass (PC_Equipment.txt)
    If you find exceptions, please report them.
  • Fixed lancemate swap over water exploit(pcaction.pp)
    But, I added a jet pack to the equipment list.
  • Ejection on world map should now work properly (pcaction.pp)
  • Unpiloted mecha no longer moved on world map (arenaplay.pp)
  • Characters won't board immobile mecha (arenaplay.pp)
  • Items shouldn't be deployed in water any more (locale.pp)
  • Lancemates can now use SF:1 mecha (arenaplay.pp)
  • Added names-above-heads mode, NAMESON config option (sdlmap.pp)
    This was a frequently requested option; hopefully it won't run slowly.
  • SDL starts in windowed mode; added FULLSCREEN config op (sdlgfx.pp)
    There were too many problems with the fullscreen mode. It doesn't appear to work on any WinXP computers at all... I don't know about Linux, and haven't recently tested it on other Windows platforms. More work needs to be done on this.
  • Some new concept art uploaded to the ftp site, including my idea for the Savin.


That should help some of you that were having troubles with the last version.
