Hey, im Gr1d and im irish been playin owar for god knows how long, been always messing about with the editor only starting to use multiplayer now so i said id post here im after finishing 1st year in college doing software development and i am hoping to learn SAIL

Heya Gr1d
Hope you'll enyou your stay in the forum

Hi ho!

Nice. Software development? Hey McBenn, you'll have some competition with SAIL I believe, hehe...

Welcome! There are many tutorials thanks to many people from here.

Hi Gr1d, welcome to OWS's forums.
Enjoy your stay here.

I still consider myself inferior to Radzio when it comes to SAIL. Do you see the anger stored in his triple-dots?

Whats the problem? Can't I make jokes?

Ò_Ó



Ah... Forgot about him, well. Looks like he didn't have much to say. ;P

Nah, you shouldn't.

ROTFL

I got irritated because you seem to be unable to see there are many SAILers around (maybe not as good as me or McBenn but still).
How was I supposed to know it'd been a joke?

Ah, you really want to see me releasing my anger, don't you?

Well, looks like it's me the one laughing now, lol.

Same here.

Haha thanks a million for the welcoming and i dont know any bit of SAIL but it seems interesting iv only done BASIC and bit of Java but i kinda know the basics of what im seeing in the code of the multiplayer maps, its great to mess around with. I Only wish that you could write the code as you go along instead of having to write code before-hand then playing the mission to see if you got it right. Like you make a map, throw in whatever, then you add people, attacks and objectives as you go along, Y'know what i mean right?

Well, you can add code progressively but you still have to start testing from the beginning (in singleplayer).

If you are interested in multiplayer maps, you can take a look at https://bitbucket.org/Radzio/multiextended

I know that but wouldnt it be cool to be able to code while you play? its just a dream i guess ha and Radzio thats class man! Does it take a lot of time to change the code of the multiplayer maps?

@McBenn, I just read over your 'Tutorial' and I believe I understand SAIL quite a good bit now. Its a work of art man!

Depends on what you want Generally I find it easy to implement the stuff community asks for.
Having said that I've just reminded myself that I was to add survival mode. My poor mind likes to forget about things.

SAIL is so Pascal-ish that it's not hard to learn it at all.

Ah cool and what is this survival mode about? and iv never even looked at pascal but if its like SAIL its easier than Java anyway ha

Also i dont suppose you guys can help me, how do you host a game online? i have the ports open but i dont think its showing online. Anyone have any ideas?

*Humble bow*
