Why bother?

[guitarist809]

Why do we even bother saying new cool things if warfare isn't going to come out with another version? "Warfare had a long life" as Verdagon puts it, that is indeed true. By the way it seems, warfare was around in 2003 and made it up until around the middle of 2005. 2.5 years!!!

I am just wondering when Version 1.2 came out 2005? 2004??


It also seems that me and P.kitty are the only ones who actually use this forum anymore.



WE NEED SOME NEW MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can remember back in january when I became a member - I would post in every topic and just wait until someone would respond, not anymore, it can take a few months just for someone to post in a topic: especially the level help ones. I remember when all the following users used to be on all at the same time: Alfex, guitarist809, Vontak, Hudra, !!HUDRA!!, White_Knight, and Phillipearl.

Once again, not anymore - these forums are officially dead.
Unless another version of Warfare Incoporated comes out soon, its very existance will dicipate into the collection of "Games that used to be popular but aren't anymore" colum and then in the "Games that nobody even thinks about or plays anymore" and lastly "Games that are about to be deleted in 5, 4, 3, 2, ..." colum.


I miss playing warfare with everyone.

[P.Kitty]

I sugest we all send many letters to contact@spiffcode.com and tell them to comeout with a new version, and tell them to look at this forum

other than that, why bother?

[guitarist809]

I've sent them 8 emails and no reponse in over 3 months, 3 MONTHS!!!

[Verdagon]

Maybe we can get all the palm programmers here together and make a palm game based on the warfare story, that could help it.

[P.Kitty]

woah, verdagon?! I thought you'd never be back, cool

[Verdagon]

I'm not back. I just check every few days or so.

[P.Kitty]

noone plays warfare anymore

[guitarist809]

Do you play warfare anymore P.kitty?

Just wondering - when did you start playing warfare?


Random say: Lavalamps are cool!

[P.Kitty]

yeah, I'm oldschool, I still like like warfare
I started playing at about the 20th of july
oh, and lava lamps ARE cool

[crakerz]

Considering that many members are students, this forum is often dead when school starts.

[guitarist809]

lol, I sorta noticed that, but back in March of 2005, there were a ton of people on the forums.

[P.Kitty]

i wish i had been here then

[guitarist809]

I wish I used the forums more back then

[P.Kitty]

lol

[guitarist809]

yea, its too bad that the forums are dead now...

[P.Kitty]

you and me seem to be the only ones left constantly posting

[guitarist809]

yea, unfortunatly.

[Verdagon]

About school...

Warfarers' playing is affected by two factors: how new warfare is, and whether school is in.

Right now, while warfare is old and school is in, it's at a low. There's two negative factors here.

So unless we all lose touch completely, there will be some rising of warfarer's playing when school is out. But of course, it will be even older then, so it diminishes the rise a bit.

All in all, maybe a few people will play next summer.

[P.Kitty]

quite possible, but definetly less than last time, with a new version, we'ed have both good factors and then there would be loads of people playing

[dancer402]

im finally back

[palm101]

yay

[dancer402]

i know

[palm101]

u were gone for a litle while.

[P.Kitty]

the more ppl the better right?

[Wizard]

Hi all,

I can tell that there are a a few unhappy people here.
Let me tell you my side of the story...

I have was one of the orginal beta-testers for the game, along with quite a few others, one of which I belive was Verdagon. My personal contribution to the game was writting the help file for the level editor.

There was a time when my Palm was never switched off, and I was playing Warfare 24x7. Maps were created, levels were tested, changed and retested. It was an exciting time for everyone. The game was another step forward in the advancement of the Palm as a gamming platform.

However, I no longer play Warfare and haven't for quite a long time. The game is old. Apart from a few new levels here and there, it's the same thing over and over. I got bored with it.

You may be angry that others do not feel the same passion for the game that you have now, and that I once had, but things change.

The game is a few years old now, with no major updates or changes and my guess is that the developers have moved on to other projects.

I am not saying to just give up.! Keep playing, keep creating new and better levels, but just remember that one day you too will get bored with the game and more on.

Thanks for listening.

When did the game come out?

[P.Kitty]

so far I seem toe njoy the game very much, when DID it come out?

[MysticNova]

if warfare is boring, then you programers should update the game...add new stuff like new vehicles...new buildings ....maybe even superpowers....if warfare turns out like this i prefer the game to be not created at all.......its a real waste of money,time and effort

i know its easy to say but if warfare turns out like this .......something must be done..........

[!HUDRA!]

DUDE read!!!! no updates, WI IS TRASH!!! EVERYTHING IS GONE!!!!

[P.Kitty]

as much as i love warfare I have to agree with hudra, it's crap compared to programs being updated (but is still an awesome game)

[Verdagon]

Warfare is dead, 'tis true.

But games are like phoenixes. Out of the ashes rise new games, a lot of the times.

For example, I remember a PPC game called "Arvale: Journey of Something", where they released the first game and it was pretty cool. Then it got old. So they modified it a little bit and released it again.

It would be cool if the gods took away all the current units, made some new ones with new looks, added a few, a bit of functionality, and a new story (of course it would take a long time to do all this). This would pretty much fool people into thinking its a new game, and get better sales (not to mention nobody whining about "i bought the first one, gimme this one free")

But I ramble. This won't happen, because theres many more possible things that could have happened:
- They got tired of palm programming
- They are very tired of the warfare code (after looking at it for two years)
- They just hate our guts (but we're angels, so this isn't that probable)
- They lost the source code
- The engine beneath warfare can't support anything new
- Memory demands are already close to critical

But I ramble more...

Anyway, those are two opposite views of things that could happen.

[palm101]

- They lost the source code

Lol, i hightly doubt that.

The should become a new game.

[guitarist809]

I wish I had the source code for WI, I then could (maby) do a little changin to it, making a new version.

[Verdagon]

It would take forever to get to know the code though. It took them TWO YEARS to make it, so its gotta be huge.

[P.Kitty]

it would be awesome if one of you bought the source code and all rights to warfare. That would imply a new version.

[guitarist809]

it took them TWO YEARS

Two programmers
Didn't work on it all the time.

[dancer402]

what language wus it in?

[palm101]

I'd bet it was in either C++ or C#

[!HUDRA!]

I bet basic lol

[P.Kitty]

it sounds to me like C. C++ though would be easier to do complexity. I know a little C, some VB and Java

[!HUDRA!]

ITS BASIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[P.Kitty]

I like basic, but know VERY little of it

[!HUDRA!]

I know very alot

[P.Kitty]

Do you? I've been trying to do graphics on my pda using smallbasic, could you get me some sample code?

[!HUDRA!]

well I never herd that program hmm i use ybasic

[dancer402]

it might be java but i doubt it probabaly C++

[palm101]

I heard verdagon saying that it was in C#

C Sharp...

[P.Kitty]

lol lol lol lol --> C sharp!

yBasic isn't free, so I tried it and decided to get smallbasic. I don't remember where I got it, but look around, I'm sure you'll find it. Anyone got any sample C code that you could get me? If so, PM me

[palm101]

What do you mean: sample code? Like how to print things out on a screen?

if so it is printf("MYTEXTHERE");

[P.Kitty]

I mean graphics codes, the basic colors (black, green, blue, red, yellow), and the basic shapes (circle, square, line, straight line, curve, triangle)

[palm101]

yea some text codes for the console for WINDOWS are:
system("color da");

try that one =D!!


Also while in the console, to find out other colors, type in help color i think it is.

[P.Kitty]

"console for windows"? I'm onfused with a capital 'c', I thought all basic was the same

[palm101]

you know, the DOS window!

[!HUDRA!]

How u axes it is it before windows loads up or in windows? And Storm Troper stop humpind the air lol it looks sick.

[palm101]

Here is a basic C program!! *Im not sure if this is 100% correct, havent done c in a while, i do c++.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf( "Changing colors\nCommand: color da"); //This part is Not needed, it just tells the viewr that the color is changing.
system("color da");
return 0;
}

In C++:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip> //Not sure about this one
#include <windows.h> //Not sure about this one either

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
cout << "Changing colors" << endl << "Command: color da" << endl; //This part is Not needed, it just tells the viewr that the color is changing.
system("color da");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Well, there you have it!

[P.Kitty]

thanx! i think... BTW, basic and C are 2 different langueges

[palm101]

Basic sucks!

I used to program it!

[!HUDRA!]

BASIC is well basic its right for me and on monday im 14! wait or 11
