This the 2nd edition of Tremor Betas and many bugs have been fixed but I still am not ready to release the dedicated server with it. You can now switch teams after you die but in later versions, you score will reflect on your forums profile. That's right, people can view your kills, deaths, highscores on all Outburst Entertainment games in the forums!

I've included a handy MessageBot which, if left open and running, will notify you if anyone has joined the game room as some users have said there aren't many people playing. This solves having to wait for more people to join. You can send chat messages to other message bots as well as to the people in game.

Please post in our forums about what you think about this game because the forums are connected to the game, and I want to test out the new system!

ummm, there are a few problems with this game. 1: THE ADVERTISEMENT IN THE BEGGINNING! GET RID OF IT! I have to wait 45 seconds before I can play the stinkin' game. That really cuts down on # of players because they don't want to have to wait for the thing. 2: You should be able to turn-off the blood. Even though I play Half-Life and am used to the whole blood thing, yours is just too much for a 2D game. 3: Too much lag when scrolling! Try and fix that if possible, I dunno if that's just because your trying to show too much at the same time, or if its lag from the server. GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT: 1: Great graphics! They are soooo much better than anything I could have done myself. 2: Wonderful multiplayer engine! Works just like the WON network, how did you ever do it? I know my opinion might not be fair because I only played it for a small amount of time but still... GET RID OF ADS!!! THEIR EVIL!!! :( Anywho, maybe once I play it with some actual people I'll get to know it better. Then I'll write a full review.

Try downloading the 16-bit version to speed up scrolling!

I'm really sorry but the servers which Tremor reside on are expensive because they are dedicated to host the MOS. Had I gotten donations of $50+/month, maybe the ads could go but the whole budget thing of keeping everything smoothly running is kinda hard when this game has to be tested with all components. Sure you can't post your scores yet but within a few weeks, that'll change, the map editor, the dedicated server, and custom admin mods :) will be up!

I've gotten rid of the ads :)

somtimes making a smaller window makes the scrolling lag go away. but its up to you if you want to sacrifice that

This may sound stupid, but... Is there a single player game?

Posted by MattB

17th February, 2003

It would be nice to have an option to turn shell casings off. Very nice effect, but I can see how it could lead to slowdown. Same with blood, though it's definitely more necessary to show if someone is taking damage, so maybe that would disappear after 5 seconds? Or do they become part of the background or something? And I still can't download the thing. :-) Well, I get it downloaded in 1/2 the time it should. Says it's 4.85 megs but is finished in about the time it usually takes a 2 meg file to dl, then when I try to install it, I get a message saying that CRC failed in either MessageBot.exe (one time I downloaded it) or some other file, I think news.jpg or .gif or something (the other time I downloaded it.) Now downloading again, have deleted all past Tremor files and registry entries... :-)

The shells and blood are all backgrounds and have no effect on the speed of the game The download should work fine now that I fixed some server problems.

This COULD be a funny game, but you can only kill people with the chainsaw. Bullets are only an illusion. Man please fix this.

Posted by Nighthawk

17th February, 2003

hmm i havent seen that bug yet

Posted by MattB

17th February, 2003

oh, i knew it! man, do i feel stupid now... yes, the bullet probelm is quite prominent, a number of people have expressed concern about it in-game. maybe they're just having trouble hitting ME, though, with my old 56k modem... :-) i posted a few other bugs i've noticed on the oe3d forums. please read.

I can't play this... I need another version or something and then it exits out. I goto the main site to look for it and I can't find it. :(

17th February, 2003

The latest version should be on the front page where it says 'Tremor (32-bit)' There is not singleplayer planned and I'm planning on optimizing the game for 56kers.

How did you get the smooth font? Sorry, it's just little things like that that interest me. I only wonder because unless WinXP softens the fonts of the string object, I don't see how you could have made them work on a transparent background. Please explain.

LOL!! Everyone knows that 'Antialiasing' in MMF is ugly, buggy and useless. What's more, it doesn't antialias text in the way the text in the pics show. As far as I know, MMF antialiasing softens the pixels OUTSIDE of the sprite. True antialiasing (as shown on that text) is internal as well as external - I'm 99.9% certain that ain't Ink Effect antialiasing.

Ok, ok, I'm trying to figure this out without downloading the game (at 4mb, it'd kinda kill my poorly and aged 56k, and I dislike internet games anyway). Did you use a multiline edit object with a transparent background? That's the only way I can find to emulate the effect so far, but it has nasty refresh bugs... (heh, I love a good challenge!)

Tremor is good but there were no players in the game. I don't think they like this game

dude, it's a beta. people are usually not as attracted to betas as the real thing, especially if they've already played the previous beta for it. isac, i had the same problem. kept having an error during install. i eventually got it to work somehow when i just opened it from current loacation (translates, duh, to downloading to a temp folder). don't see how it would make a difference, but it somehow worked. probably just coincidence, but you might wanna try it.

Its a string object, you cant have transparency in an edit object. Its just an alterable string thats being changed I'm planning to host an event at a specific time to get the most people in and smash the most bugs!

Aah, so it's an XP thing that softens the font. I'd considered the possibility, but since I have font smoothing on in Windows98 and that does do it, I guessed it would be highly unlikely. Yet another reason for me to upgrade to XP.
