RighteousRyan1/TanksRebirth 1.1-alpha

Alpha v1.1

on GitHub

This is the third in-development release of the Tanks remake.

A lot of things were done! Read below for the entire list.

Changes

• Added a new main menu! It's not 100% but it's functional. Some words are not localized yet.
• Made the game more accurate to the original.
• Added a pseudo-level editor. Press J to toggle while ingame (no, do not use the Level Editor button in the main menu for now).
  • While in level editor mode, when you press the spawn tank keybind (home), a tank will be spawned on that map tile.
  • Also, while you are in editor mode, tanks will not move (and as of this release, will keep moving and have issues if they are not killed before re-entering editor mode). When you leave editor mode, the mission countdown and theme will begin playing.
• Changed a lot of debugging keybinds. List below.
  • Changing debug level keybinds changed from subtract and add to divide and multiply respectively.
  • Changing zoom keybind changed from up and down to subtract and add respectively.
  • Removed keybinds for all arrow keys and L. They are no longer needed.
  • Added keybind for changing block type in the level editor. Use Z for decreasing the value (0 = Solid, 1 = Cork, 2 = Hole) and X for increasing the value.
  • In accordance to the previous keybind, you can use , and . (think of it as < and >) to change the height of the block you are placing.
• You can now change the level themes via the settings.json file in your Documents/My Games/WiiPlayTanksRemake folder path! Just change GameTheme to anything here -> [ 0 = Vanilla, 1 = Forest, 2 = Master Mod, 3 = Marble Mod ]. Be aware, 1, or the Forest theme is not fully working as of this update.
• Do be aware that the ingame menu buttons do not work right now. You will have to restart the game and manipulate them via the main menu.
• HEAVILY decreased file sizes. From ~350MB to now ~110MB.
• The game is now on a 1:1 scale with the original game. Yes, the map shrinked... Considerably much so.
• Implemented bi-directional tank movement for the player only.

TODO List

• Completely polish AI (as of now, they run into things in the top-left of the map).
• Make AI tanks not take long turns (and also implement their bi-directional movement)
• A better user interface.
